You clinched my heart (Black Clover Highschool AU)

Chapter 7: Grappling with the past

6:00 AM in the Clover kingdom academy parking lot

The students of the combat sports program gathered in the back parking lot of the school waiting for the bud to arrive, "UHHHH", Asta leaned his head back lamenting that he hadn't slept very well the night before, "Tell me about it", Yuno slouched in the bench along with him, "Can you two please stop complaining", Sol rolled her eyes at the two, "Yeah you really should've slept better", Mimosa added on, "NOT MY FAULT I WAS JUST SO EXCITED", Asta flailed his arms in the air, "Besides I'm used to fighting at like ten or eleven at night", he folded his arms, "I went to bed at the usual time, but I kept waking up", Yuno offered his own explanation, "Oh yeah, I saw you messaged me a few times at like twelve", Mimosa said tapping her finger on her chin, "What?", Leo turned his head at what his cousin said, "Nothing, it's just when I woke up I saw that you sent me a few messages", Asta nudged Yuno with his elbow, "Stop doing that", Yuno told him in a whisper as he pushed him, "Whatever the case is, stop complaining about it", "Sol looked at both entrances seeing that the school's bus wasn't there yet, "It's not gonna help", Asta furrowed his brows with folded arms, "Where are the coaches?", Sekke asked only getting a few shrugs, "What about you? Don't you come to school with your mom?", he turned to Sol for an answer, "We did get here, but like two hours before you guys and she said she had something to do", she answered, "You got here before four?", Yuno raised his eyebrow, " Who cares? Anyway, what about you guys' Jack, Yami, or Theresa didn't tell you guys anything either, "Nope" "No" "She didn't" "Nah", the other students waiting answered, "Wonder why it's such a mystery", Sol turned around to face everyone else, "Well, what did you guys do when you got home?" "Not much, just went to Klaus's place to see how he was and went home", Yuno said, "Yami had dinner with us", Asta answered looking at the orange sun rise of the sky, "Steak house and sleep" "Sleep" "My mom had me spar her", Mimosa looked a bit annoyed, "Wait why?", Leo shook his head in confusion, "My face and I told her Vanica and Gauche basically treated us like punching bags", Mimosa gave Leo a sarcastic stare, "Oh yeah", Leo's face turned into a small frown as he remembered the amount of times Vanica headbutted him, "Hey Asta?", Leo looked at him, "What's up?", Asta looked down from the sky back at him, *CRACK* "DON'T CLINCH THEN", he thought about how many times Vanica had cracked him with her head, "You pick up headbutting from Vanica", Leo also thought back to the video of Asta getting Kiato with one. The question elicited a small laugh from Asta, "What?", Leo moved his mouth to the side in a bit of annoyance, "No I didn't", Asta stared at the floor with a smile, "Where'd you learn it from then?" "Well-" "Yeah, I was kind of wondering the same thing", Mimosa interrupted him before he could answer, "Well, I was gonna say believe it or not I actually learned it from my mom", Asta told the group, "Really?", Sol titled her head, "Your mom seems so sweet though", Mimosa scrunched up her face a little, "She did, she doesn't talk about it much and maybe she thinks it makes her seem like a bad mom, but she taught me when I was like seven and when I met Dante and his siblings, I taught Vanica how to do it", Asta cracked a smile thinking about it, "Hmm I never would've thought your mom would do something like that Yuno stroked his chin, "I guess, but I also took inspiration from everyone else around me", Sekke remembered the short blonde and his variety of spinning kicks and elbows, "You learned elbows from the short blonde one?", Sekke asked getting a surprised face from a few of the students, "Again kind of", Asta shrugged his shoulders, "The spinning one's, but I taught him more basic standard elbows", Yuno remembered his pad work with Yami and the combinations he was practicing, "Wait can you grapple?", Sol asked, "Not really- I mean I can stop people from taking me down, but if it hits the floor I'm pretty much done for" "How good are you at that?" "Not very, cause Luck can get me down" "Ah", Sol just nodded her head, "Hey what's that?", Sekke pointed at something, "What?", the other students turned their attention to where he was pointing seeing a sort of bus pull in
