chapter 2: magic knight entrance exam

A few months had passed since Asta had gotten his grimiore. Currently inside the forest where the demon skull was located, he was training for the magic knights entrance exam that would be taking place in the capital. He was shirtless as he cut into a large rock with his giant black sword, "997, 998, 999" he said as he cut into the rock, he then placed the sword into the ground as he took a drink from his cantine.

"Uh, Yunos probably still training right now so I should probably still keep going" he said picking up the sword again when he heard footsteps from behind him, "Come to see me training huh" he said thinking it was Yuno. But when he turned around he looked to see one of the kids from the orphanage with a bored look on his face, "Oh hey Nash, what are you doing here".

"Not much, I was looking for an idiot doing stupid things and it looks like I succeeded" he said with a bored look on his face making Asta looking annoyed, "What are you doing anyway".

"I'm training, gotta get stronger" said Asta resting the sword on his shoudler.

"Why are you even going to the exam when you know you'll fail, you may have that sword now but you still have no magic" he said.

"Don't underestimate me, I'll join the magic knights and become the wizard king" said Asta smiling.

"NO YOU CANT" yelled Nash surprising Asta, "Were commoners, people like us don't get to achieve our dreams" he said looking annoyed. Asta didn't say anything as he slowly walked over to Nash.

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU UNDERSTAND" he yelled smacking Nash on the top of his head, "I'm going to achieve this dream, to show everyone that peopl like us can succeed" he said as he grabbed the handle of his sword and cut into the rock as he began his count again. Nash just stood there looking surprised.

A few days later in the morning Asta and Yuno stood outside the church where the other kids, the priest and sister Lily were saying theirs goodbyes.

"Now Yuno we all believe in you, make sure to make the village proud" said the priest looking at Yuno who nodded. He then looked at Asta, "Now Asta remember you always have a home here even if you fail" he said making Asta look annoyed.

"Hey Cmon don't you have any faith in me" he said.

"Asta" said Nash, "I'm not saying I believe in you, but by some small miracle you do join a magic knights squad, I'll start believing people like us can dream" he said.

"Thanks Nash" said Asta smiling.

"I hope you remember who that girl is Asta" said sister Lily.

"Thanks sister Lily, alright Yuno let's get going" said Asta picking up his bag. The two of them left the village and began their journey to the capital.

As they were walking through a forest, "Asta have you thought about what your going to say to the girl if you remember her" asked Yuno?

"Well I guesss the first thing I'll say is sorry I forgot about you" he said rubbing the back of his head looking embarrassed, "But for now I'm going to focus on joining the magic knights, plus this journey is long so it's the perfect opportunity to train" he said smiling as he ran ahead. Yuno then started running aswell.

The two of them took a break looking exhausted, but then a few seconds later they started running again. When they were passing by a large cliff small boulders started falling towards them. Asta destroyed one of the boulders with his sword while Yuno used his wind magic to destroy the rest.

One night the two of them were eating the meat of the boar Asta had taken down, "I wish the people at the church could have some of this" said Asta.

"Yeah" said Yuno.
