The Mage of Light [ Black Clover Fanfiction ]

Chapter 2 - Dreams

Sel had quite a sheltered life, in her previous world, when her parents were still there.

They have come to many countries and places, mostly because of Sel's father's business as a politician. The Matsumoto couple was truly a lovey-dovey so their family was always together.

As a result, Sel, at a young age, gained considerable knowledge about cultures, even learned many soft skills.

So, when being brought to this world all of a sudden, she could easily adapt to it. Yet, it didn't mean the life in the church was not that hard.

Their daily meal simply had potatoes. A big meal for them was a meal with many potatoes. A bigger meal to them was a meal with a lot of potatoes. They ate potatoes day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year.

'... So this is a life of people living in the Forsaken Realm? The social I am living is truly ...! They still engage in that sort of discrimination.'

It was winter. People living in Hage village, as always, lacked provisions. Father Orsi and Sister Lily worked hard so that we could eat more. Sel wanted to do something for them, but as a five year-old kid, she couldn't do much. At least she could apply the modern world's knowledge to cook something tasty.

"My, Sel, you truly are a kind girl. But..." Sister Lily sweated, glancing over the dark potato dish she had made, "... you can just leave the cookery stuff for me. (^▽^;)"

Sel [crying-inside-but-smiling-outside.jpg] "..." I'M SORRYYYY SISTER!!! ╥﹏╥

"It's fine ^ ^. I am happy that you have helped me." She patted Sel's head, smiling. Then she looked over the clock, it pointed at 7 o'clock. It's already dinner time. "I haven't seen Asta and Yuno coming back. They might have lost... Sel, can you go find them for me?"

"Yes."

Sel nodded and went outside the church. She brought an old umbrella with her, protecting herself from the glowing snow.

As she was reincarnated after a sleep (sounds like a joke), she later discovered that people here could use magic. Magic is the refinement and application of magic power to perform a specific function, or spell. The source of all magic spells is mana, a form of energy that exists in nature and within people.

Magic seemed very important in this world so she insisted Father and Sister to teach her. At her current level, she could only sense other's mana, including Yuno. Asta was the only problem, she didn't sense anything from him...

Sel ran in the general direction of Yuno, and luckily Asta was there either. But it seemed like they had run into some troubles. Asta... seemed to have been beaten quite badly.

"I'll just make some money out of this. An orphan like you shouldn't be carrying around something high above your status. Magic is what makes the world go round, do you want to have a duel with me and die?"

The said man was having on his hand a necklace made of a gold-colored chain and a blue . But isn't it... Yuno's?

"Give that back to Yuno!" Asta yelled, making a grab for it.

The man raised a hand, then swung it down towards Asta, sending him flying away. "Filthy rats!! Don't touch me!"

He intended to go on with just that. But halfway up the road, Sel stood there, pointing the umbrella to him, threatening:

"Give it back before you go."

The man smirked, as if he was watching a comedy.

"Another rat wants to be a hero?"
