Moving Forward (Black Clover Fanfic)

Chapter 36 Ultime-Volcano Mountain Trail

"After this make a meeting with your Master..." Ipas tells me on my mind

"Right- but please don't kill him." I tell her still unsure about the time she was ready to side with the terrorist group to kill them

"Why did you need to tho? It seemed that you shown yourself to a lot of people before than me... Why is that?" I ask her and she was quiet for a moment

"Actually, my memories are all mixed too- not only that I just remember the day of our death and a few moments with us as a family, I can't really remember everything clearly. The more I took the time and learned to tap into mothers magic within us, the more I am able to get more memories..." She tells me and I extend my collar

"And he is investigating our family's past? I've only heard that their father passed away from murder and their mother from a mission..." I try to remember a thing of the past but it was as if that I only gained a consciousness when I met my brothers

"The last thing he confirmed to me was that their mother was indeed involved. He quickly climbed up the ranks because I threatened him that I would kill Seresu and you not knowing anything helped make it hard for him to dispose of us." Ipas says bluntly and my eyes widen

"....That's too cruel Big Sister..." I say but don't remember anything, it was that the entire time it happened was when I was asleep

"It motivated him enough to reach for the top to get the information that we needed, but honestly- it's been 2 years exact that he hasn't given me any new information... If I don't dispose the both of them then they would have already told people about me, they didn't but someone did..." Ipas says while my brows furrow

"It was Sister Lily, who forwarded it to Theresa and then to your Captain- and there was your Lady getting into anything I try. You were getting involved out of your knowledge and that itself to me didn't feel right..." Ipas clicks her tongue

"I plan to kill them before telling you Liah... I hope you find it within yourself to forgive me but I wouldn't..." She says and Asoka looks down

"...How does... killing come so easy to you..? Was... our life back then that hunted that it was normal..? Have I... killed someone before I flew to Hage..?" I ask even fearing the truth but the place that we were in was perfect

Honestly who would have thought that after a joyful night- My Captain would tell me to climb the highest peak of a volcano and stay there until she comes back.

It turns out that she hasn't seen a single member of the Crimson Lions on the crowd at all which was odd because they would be everywhere whenever it is the Star Festival.

Thankfully Servant Aya didn't mind bringing my family home, and my siblings already fell asleep from being tired and slept through most of it...................... Especially the appearance of the King-

My sister breaks into a laugh

"Sorry- but you seemed really sweet and you didn't really talk much, always wrapped around Mom that Pops would sometimes had to scream at you for affection." She says and I smile hearing about it

"We seemed like we were a happy family...." I say but then not hear anything back making me blink

I close my eyes and concentrate but found it hard as I gulp for hydration with the concentration of heat surrounding me it was hard to access my own mind while I am thankful about the markings changing the matter of magic it didn't really protect her so she had to maintain a second barrier called Mana Skin.

"...Ipas...?" I ask for her but there was no answer making me sigh in exhaustion while I look around and there was nothing but an empty crater and the other side was just lava spewing up,

Lady Mareoleona just told me to stay at the top, but I never understood why.

It wasn't that the entire climb was hard since she had flown farther than mountains before- heck I could fly from the Capital to the Forsaken Realm in hours than days for some, I just think that it wasn't much of a challenge if it wasn't an active Volcano with flying rocks with Mountain Monsters.

In fact here is one right now...

"Please go away... " I say swiping the air with my hand releasing a slash of liquid and mixing the attack with movement magic it quickly became a stronger attack and quick enough to cut the stone creature in half.

"YOU!!! COME DOWN HERE!!!" I freeze in place and looked around because I heard Captain Mareoleona's voice but it was small as if she was far

So it meant that I needed to descend the entire mountain again making me sigh as I quickly launched myself to fly!

"Movement Magic: Linear Rush." I say as I begin to gather momentum and speed in a double while I mix it with Matter Magic I turn the threat coming at me into gas or liquid.

"W-WOAH!! THAT'S ASOKA FOR YOU! YOU WEREN'T KIDDING WHEN YOU SAY YOU MAKE THE TRIP BACK HOME FROM THE CAPITAL INTO HOURS! AND THAT WAS EVEN WITHOUT YOUR GRIMOIRE!" Asta scream and I gasp seeing the group of my squad seeing Master Leopold and Lady Seresu

ALL BRUISED UP!?!!?

"My Lady! Master! who had done this to you!!! Were you attacked the entire festival!!? As a ser- A KNIGHT I WONT LET THIS SWEPT UNDER A RUG!!" I say nearly slipping into old habits and realized that I was holding onto Lady Seresu's hands

Making me remember the time that I woke up and it was as if I was longing so much of her touch-

WAIT WHY AM I THINKING IT LIKE THAT!? WHY AM I EVEN THINKING OF LADY SERESU THAT WAY IN THE FIRST PLACE IM JUST A COMMONER!!

I sweat and feel her clench it tighter

"HAHA!! Mareoleona was angry that I took you away but it was because of you that the Crimson Lions didn't fall too behind! As expected by my future Vice Captain! I told you that you have a knack of this job!!" Seresu tells me with a smile behind the pain

"Witnessing you as an enemy really puts me at ease to know that you are on our side Pet- I mean Asoka-!" Leopold stops himself making me tilt my head in confusion

"As the woman who walked ahead so that my new rival Asta could run for his dreams! I must give you the proper respect you deserve and state you by your name!" Leopold screams making me sulk

"(So I was not worth of your respect before !!!?? That hurts but okay!!) I-I see, Thank you Master Leopold- you're respect is greatly valued......." I kept quiet about my concerns and nod

"He calls you pet?" YUNO!!?!?!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?

"Well u-uh.... I ...WOOO ITS REALLY HOT IN THIS MOUNTAIN YEAH?!" I look at Yuno who looks at me with a flat expression which strikes me to the chest

HAVE I LOST MY OWN BROTHERS RESPECT!?!?!

I fall on my knees sulking.

"I lost my own brothers respect in return I gained it from Royalty.....at what cost...." I sulk and hear Captain Yami laugh

WHY ARE THEY BOTH HERE!? WHAT IS GOING ON!!??!

"WHO SAID THAT YOU WILL DROP ON YOUR KNEES! GET UP ON THE TOP AGAIN!!" Captain Mareoleona screams at me

"EEEGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!??" I scream looking up at her and then suddenly feel my control leave making my head drop

"This heat is already killing me....THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THAT WE HAVE TO CLIMB UP AGAIN!?" My sister took control making me scream in the back of our mind

WHY DID SHE REVEAL HERSELF IN FRONT OF EVERYONE

"W-what happened to Asoka...?"
