Long ago, an ancient demon was threatening the Clover Kingdom, almost ravaging it completely. Almost everything was lost until a lone mage step upped to defeat it. After his victory, He was hailed as the Wizard King, his story becoming legend. In a remote village, there is one thing that sets it apart from others. On the outskirts of the village, there was a gigantic skull, looking as if it belong to a demon. On top of the skull stood a statue of a man, wearing a crown and holding a scepter. This man was the very first Wizard King, known for having the very demon his statue stands on.
This village's name is Hage Village. One thing about the people who live here is that they can use magic. Each person is able to use a single affinity of magic, and can be adept in a specific style. One distinct landmark is the village church, where local orphans reside with the Father and the Sister. As the people were farming. They manage to hear loud grunting coming from the church. "He's at it again." One of the people say.
"At the church we see someone chopping down firewood with rapid succession. This person was a teen of slightly short stature, having green eyes, ash-blonde hair, with a strand sticking up and bangs. He wearing a white shirt, blue waistcoat, of which the sleeves went down to his elbows, blue pants that extend down to his knees, and shoes that are white around the toes, and blue around the rest, which extend to above his ankles. He also where's a black headband with a red four point star, the horizontal line longer than the vertical one, slightly towards the left side of his head, bangs going over it. In his hands was an axe he was using to chop firewood. This person's name was Asta.
"Asta, are you done yet?"
"Almost. I'll be there in a minute, Sister Lily." Asta answers the nun who lives with them. He soon finishes chopping the wood. Asta then walks to the front of the church and sees the other children with the Sister, and she is about to place clothes on the clothesline to dry when a rush of wind comes and picks up the clothes she holds, whirls it around, and then folds it back into a separate basket. Asta then turns and sees another teen wearing a black shirt, brown pants, and a pair of boots. This was his brother figure, Yuno, the one who controlled the wind. "Hey Yuno." Asta said. "Asta." Yuno said back.
"It's almost time, huh." Sister Lily said. "Soon you'll turn fifteen and then you'll get your grimoires, become Magic Knights, and help the kingdom." "Yeah." Asta says with a small smile, while Yuno nods. "Yeah right." One of the younger orphans, Nash, said. "Yuno will definitely become a Magic Knight, but Asta will likely never even get a grimoire." He said, much to Asta's annoyance. "And I can't wait to prove you wrong." Asta retorts back. "But in this world, magic is everything, and you're the one person who can't use magic." Nash said, stating the one fact that can get on his nerves. "Then I'll just have to prove magic isn't everything!" Asta yells then runs away toward the demon's skull in the distance.
"That was a little harsh, Nash." Yuno said, looking towards the younger one. "But it's not unlikely, I mean not everyone can get into the Magic Knights, so we have to be prepared if Asta has to return." The Father said, having walked out during the commotion. "Don't doubt Asta. He's more than you think. He'll be home by dinner." Yuno said to everyone. Sister Lily then thinks back to how they were when younger, and how he changed after bringing home a beat up Asta.
Inside the hollow demon skull, Asta is seen doing single handed pushups. Around him seem to be trees and ruins covered in foliage, possibly belonging to an ancient civilization, having long ago died out.
"Nine-hundred and ninety nine, one thousand!" Asta said, pushing himself upright at the last one. He then starts doing arms thrust motions. "I'll prove that you don't need traditional magic to make it in this world." He said, looking determined, remembering something from his past.
