NARRATOR POV
Clover Kingdom Academy the home for the country's finest talent a school designed by Lumiel Silvamillion a man who had been famous in the 1920's and 30's for his achievements in the Olympics for Catch wrestling and Amateur boxing, and since the school had been founded it was home to each generation's greatest combat sports athletes or just athletes in general, Later in the 1940's the school opened to Actors, soon after it then became a school known for churning out greats of all mediums of entertainment whether it be combat sports all the way to musical achievements many dream of attending. However, the school had run into a bit of a brick wall, as the roots of the academy had come into question since the last talented combat sports student to come out of the academy was Fuegoleon a man who no doubt great, had been twelve years since he had graduated and in terms of any fight sports the academy had dried up a bit having places like Spade boarding school take the throne as the best school for fighters, which leads us to the now
"Kira there is a bit of a problem with our schools combat sports programs", a man with blonde hair ruffled through the stack of Alumni who had achieved anything in combat sports, "And what's that?", Kira asked him, "The last person to achieve anything from our school graduated twelve years ago", he looked at it, "And if we don't find someone soon our funding for the program will be cut", he looked up at him, "What are we supposed to do about it, none of the students are terribly interested in it these days", Kira sipped coffee from a mug, "and you'd be right, so I would like to ask you to scout someone for me", the blonde man pushed a photo forward, "Who's this", Kira asked him, "Salim Hapshass", he replied, "Why?", "Well he comes from a decently wealthy family and I've heard he's currently undefeated in the underground currently", "I see", "Please just consider it", "Alright"
At the underground warehouse
Kira had pulled up to the address that the principal had given him, "Ok", he got out of his car and headed inside, "ALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE FIGHT IS ABOUT TO BEGIN", he got a seat in the middle of the audience, there he was the blonde kid he was told to scout against a shorter guy, "Oh great a can crusher", he thought about it, "A shorter opponent", "And his opponent", he tuned the name out, "WEIGHING IN AT 135 POUNDS", "And there it is a lighter one too", "BEGIN", the announcer yelled and for multiple rounds he remained unimpressed, constant cheating, headbutts, hits to the back of the head, lowering his head whenever the shorter fighter built momentum, and holding onto his leg whenever he was going to knee him in the face, "yep a complete bust"
In the cage
"GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME", a gruff man in his late twenties told a kid with grey hair as the kid was getting hit, "C'MON KID STOP RUSHING IN.KICK THE LEGS AND GET OUT", he kept screaming right before a buzzer went off and the kid started walking towards his corner, "C'mon you're getting emotional and leaving your chin wide open, this guy's gonna find it and take you out if you keep doing it", he told him, "I KNOW", he yelled at him, "WELL YOU DON'T CAUSE THAT LEFT HOOK IS LANDING A LOT", he hit him on the head, "GET IN THERE AND POINT HIM OUT. FRUSTRATE HIM", "YEAH YEAH"
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ROUND SEVEN IS ABOUT TO BEGIN", the announcer spoke into a small microphone as the two fighters met in the center of the cage, "Hey you looked pretty gassed man, want me to go easy?", a snark blonde guy gloated to him, and he just couldn't listen to his coach and screamed back at him, "OH SHUT UP MAN", the grey-haired teenager went rushing in throwing power hook after power hook, "Sloppy", the blonde hit a clean left hook yet again, "C'MON KID I TOLD YOU NOT TO GET EMOTIONAL", the gruff man tried screaming at him again, "WELL BACK TO YOUR HOLE LITTLE RAT", the blonde yelled before weaving a jab and a straight right before

the crowd and the Gruff man screamed, "HELL YEAH KID YOU GOT HIM", the man yelled as he ran in the ring and lifted him into the air on his shoulders, "TOLD YA", the grey-haired kid yelled at him as he jumped off his shoulders and now was time to read the decision
"The referee has halted the contest by way of knock out AND YOU WINNER THE BLACK CLOVER ASTA STARIA", the announcer yelled Asta's name while he climbed onto the cage and yelled at the blondies corner men, "WHAT WAS THAT?", he cupped his hand around his ear, "THATS WHAT I THOUGHT", Asta jumped off the cage, "TOLD YOU I GOT THIS", Asta told his coach, "Yeah alright kid I'll give you this one", he smiled as the two got out of the cage unbeknownst to them a rather special person had been spectating
In the back
"Well as promised here's your cut and kid if you keep giving performances like that, you'll be in for a bonus", a rather round man was counting Asta's fight money before smacking it on the table, "I don't know where you found this kid Sukehiro, but damn has he been a spectacle", he told the gruff man, "Yeah, it's been a pleasure", he said as the two of the left the room, "Good job today kid", Sukehiro looked over to Asta, "OH WAIT I THOUGHT I WAS TOO EMOTIONAL?", Asta gave him a huge smile, "Don't get smart with me kid", he ruffled his hair, "You need a ride home?", Sukehiro asked the him, "Nah I'll be fine", Asta rubbed the back of his neck, "You sure kid?", he gave the young man a concerned look, "Yeah it's just an hour or two walk I'll be fine", Asta just gave him a weak smile, "Alright kid be safe", Sukehiro waved to him, "I will", Asta nervously chuckled trying to think of a way to explain the cuts and the swollen eye to his mom, "Man she's not gonna be happy", he said to himself as he turned getting ready to leave the parking lot, "Hey you", Asta heard someone call out to him, "Me?", Asta pointed to himself, "Uh yes", the man began to walk up to Asta giving Asta a clearer look at him
"Umm what's up man?", Asta lifted his brow at the man, "I gotta say kid that was a pretty good knockout", the man complimented him, "Uh thanks dude", Asta replied as he got ready to turn away, "Umm I got to get home or my mom's gonna kill me so I'm just-", "Hold on kid I want to make you an offer", the man grabbed Asta by the shoulder before Asta spun around and front body kicked him away from him, "HEY MAN DON'T BE PUTTING YOUR HANDS ON ME", Asta lifted his guard, "Woah kid calm down", the man used his arms to motion Asta to calm down, "Look I want to make an offer and you don't have to accept it I'm just asking you to hear me out", the man gave Asta a nod, "Alright", Asta put his hands down, "Alright kid my name is Domanatio Kira", Kira held out his hand which Asta shook, "I'm actually the head of hires at Clover kingdom Academy", Asta's eyes widened, "And we've been looking for a kickboxer to represent our school", Asta couldn't believe what he was hearing, but Asta thought about it for a second and realized there was no way him or his mom could afford it, "Hey look man I appreciate it but I can't afford it so-", but before Asta could finish Kira interrupted him, "no no no that's ok cause I was gonna say that we would like to pay for it", he finished causing Asta to almost lose his mind, "Look like I said that you didn't need to accept just think it over", Kira opened his wallet and retrieved a card, "Look just sit on the offer and think about it, and when you have your answer just give me a call ok?", the man handed Asta the card, "Alright", Asta looked at the card, "Well then have a good night kid and I'm awaiting your answer", Kira walked away to an expensive looking car, Asta waited for the man to leave the parking lot, "OH MY GOD", Asta ran in a circle jumping up and down, "HOLY-", Asta couldn't even finish he was so excited, "ME AT CLOVER KINGDOM ACADEMY", he chuckled a bit, "WELL MOMS NOT GONNA BE SO MAD NOW", Asta got on his way
Asta had heard about it a prestigious high school that has churned out some of the best athletes, actors, and even musicians he just couldn't believe that he was gonna be one of them, "Man", he thought about the fighters that had achieved greatness in combat sports that came from Clover Kingdom Academy, Mereoleona Vermillion the current undisputed super-lightweight boxing champion of the world, her brother Fuegoleon Vermillion the current Middleweight Clover Cage Fighting champion, Vetto the Light Heavy weight champion for Diamond Ring Kickboxing, and not to mention Acier Silva the Undefeated Undisputed Kickboxing champion in four different weight classes, "MAN I'M GONNA GO TO THE SAME SCHOOL AS THEY DID", Asta was speed walking down the street making some erratic dance moves every now and again, but the celebration was unfortunately short lived as the colors of a cop cars siren began to cast its light on the surrounding buildings, "Oh no", Asta huffed turning around to see that the cop had lowered his window, "HEYYYYYYY DANTE WHAT'S UP", Asta nervously leaned on his car, "Get in kid", Dante didn't acknowledge his greeting, "Alright", Asta opened the door and went in
"Y'know how your mom feels about this", Dante looked into the mirror at Asta, "Yea I know", Asta looked down, "And while I get that you love fighting, I do also know that your mom hates you doing it like this, no head gear, shin guards, no safety gear", he lectured him, "WAIT I-", "Let me finish", Dante stopped him, "And seeing that your knuckles are bleeding I assume you were doing it bareknuckle?", the car came to a stop at a red light, "Yeah", Asta just looked out the window, "And your mom hates it when you do that stuff even more", Dante turned his eyes back to the road, "YEAH BUT I GOT A CRAZY OFFER-", Asta piped up but was cut off again, "One big enough for your mom to overlook it?", Dante sounded a bit sarcastic, "Umm actually", Dante whipped his head around at the response, "Seriously?", "Umm yeah"
At the Staria residence
We see as Asta and Dante pull up to the house, "Hmm your mom might be asleep", Dante opened the car door for him, "Hmmm", Asta couldn't hide his skepticism of his statement, "Alright get it over with", Asta reached into his bag getting his keys, "Looks like she might", Asta walked inside as Dante followed him, but the dream that he would have to face his mother's wraith tomorrow was very short lived as when he passed the kitchen she was sitting at on a dining room chair, "Mind telling me where you were?", his mom asked him, "I was umm-", Asta was again cut off by Dante this time Dante thought the coast was clear, "Well you might be in luck kid-", Dante shut up when he saw Asta's mom, "Lichita", Dante took his hat off and lowered his head, "Dante", Lichita nodded at him, "So mind telling me where you were?", Lichita gave Asta a strong glare, "Umm I uh-", "Actually I'll ask Dante. Dante where was my son?", she turned her attention to Dante, "Umm he was out by fourth street and Light Avenue", Dante rubbed the back of his neck, Asta just gave him a betrayed look, "BUT" Dante raised a finger in the air "He has some amazing news that will most likely make you happy to hear", Dante pushed Asta forward, "Oh really? It doesn't really look like it", Lichita gave him a doubtful look, "I do", Asta spoke up, "Really?", Lichita seemed to be a little shocked, "I uh got an offer to go to Clover Kingdom Academy", Asta looked up at her, "OH MY GOD", Lichita jumped out of her seat, "WAIT, how do I know that you're not lying?", Lichita squinted her eyes, "Umm here", Asta took out the card that Kira had given him, "OH MY GOD- wait Asta we can't-", she was stopped, "I know what you're about to say and they said they wanted to pay for it", Asta smiled, "OH MY GOD,MY BABY", Lichita hugged Asta, "MY BABY IS GOING TO CLOVER KINGDOM ACADEMY", she squeezed her son tight and squealed she couldn't contain how happy she was for her son, "WHATS ALL THAT NOISE", someone screamed from the sofa, "YOUR BROTHER IS GOING TO CLOVER KINGDOM ACADEMY", she yelled back at him causing him to roll and fall off the sofa, "WHAT", he got up and ran over to Asta, "SERIOULY BRO", he asked him, "Yeah", Asta smiled while he rubbed the back of his neck, "WOOOOOOOOO", he picked Asta up, "Liebe calm down", Asta laughed at his brother, "ARE YOU KIDDING YOU ARE GONNA GO TO CLOVER KINGDOM ACADEMY HOW CAN I BE CALM", Liebe swung his brother around, "SHUT UP", the neighbors yelled, "SORRY", Lichita yelled back at them, "Alright tomorrow we'll celebrate", Lichita bounced up and down, "Oh and Dante feel free to invite Zennon and Vanica", she gave him a hug, "Yeah I will", Dante nodded his head at them, "Congratulations kid", he smiled at Asta, "Thanks"
The next day
Lichita had made Asta's favorite breakfast food, roasted potatoes, bell peppers, onions, and eggs, "GUYS BREAKFEAST IS READY", Lichita called out to her kids, "COMING", she heard the two scampering through the hallway, "ALRIGHT", Asta looked at the food, "Your favorite", Lichita smiled at her kids, "THANK YOU", the two yelled through stuffing their mouths, "Asta", Lichita looked at him, "Yeah what's up?", Asta said through a stuffed mouth, "Well I was thinking if you would like me to make the call or do you want that honor?", she asked her son clearly wanting to be the one who makes the call, "why don't you do it mom", Asta smiled at her, "You sure?", "Yeah", Asta went back to eating, "Alright", she went to her room to retrieve her phone, "MAN I CAN'T BELIEVE IT", Liebe looked at his brother, "What's up?", Asta asked him, "What's up? what do you mean, What's up? You are going to go to the most prestigious high school around here", Liebe put his arm around his brother, "And to think it came from you getting whooped", Liebe laughed, "HEY I DIDN'T GET WHOOPED I KNOCKED HIM OUT", Asta was clearly angry, "NOT WITH THAT FACE", Liebe laughed at his little brother, "I'm kidding dude", Liebe leaned back into the chair, "But really I'm so proud of you man", he grabbed Asta in a headlock, "OH THATS IT", Asta picked him up and carried him to the sofa dropping him there, causing both of them to laugh, "Quite", Lichita had come back to the Kitchen her phone to her ear, "Hello?", they heard a womans voice come through the phone making Asta worry, "That guy wasn't-", "Yes my name is Lichita Staria and I believe you gave my son a card with this number", Asta had become very worried that maybe the guy was lying, "Lichita Staria?", the woman on the other end of the phone replied, "Umm yes", Lichita looked over at her son, "Nothing about Lichita Staria, BUT there is an importance placed on a guy named Asta Staria", Asta felt relieved hearing that, "OH well he's my son", Lichita replied, "I see I'll have you on the phone with Mr. Kira soon mam", she said putting Lichita on hold, she was brimming with excitement for her son, "Hello?", this time the voice of the guy Asta met in the parking lot, "Hello this is Lichita Staria", she replied to the man, "OH DOES HE HAVE HIS ANSWER", the man clearly frantic to hear it, "Umm yeah we've decided to take you up on the offer", she replied, "That's amazing", Kira told her, "So uh when would you like to come in?", he asked her, "When's the soonest we can?", "Well we're free all day", he told her, "Amazing then you can come in later today", Lichitas eyes widened, "Uh yeah ok", "Good I'll see you later", he hung up, "ALRIGHT BOYS GET DRESSED IT'S A FORTY MINUTE DRIVE", Lichita ran to her bedroom, "ALRIGHT", the two ran to their bedroom opening drawers looking for something at least semi decent to wear, Asta settling for a red shirt, black jeans, and a black jacker, Liebe went with a black short sleeve over a white long sleeve with black jeans, and mothers do as they do with Lichita getting ready for 45 minutes, "MOM", Asta yelled to his mom, "HOLD ON I'M ALMOST DONE", she replied but Asta could only pace back and forth, "You nervous?", Liebe asked him, "WHAT ME NERVOUS NO", Asta gave a quick reply, "Uh huh", Liebe smiled, "Hey man you got this", Liebe put his hand on Asta's shoulder, "Trust me, wherever go I know you got this", Asta calmed down a bit, "Thanks man", "And hey if you find any cute girls send em my way", Liebe laughed, "Yeah sure man", Asta replied, "ALRIGHT GUYS TO THE CAR", Lichita came from her room, "I CALL SHOTGUN", Liebe yelled running outside, but it was just Asta and his mom, "OHHH I'M SO PROUD OF YOU", she gave Asta a big hug, "I know", Asta laughed, "NOW LETS GO AND GET YOU THERE", she pumped her fist in the air
Clover Kingdom Academy
The Staria Family pulled into the front of the school, seeing it's very traditional look
"Talk about old fashion", Lichita ushered her children out of the car, "I'll go find parking you boys go ahead and just wait outside", she told the two as she drove away, "Man this place is really........old school", Liebe looked at the entrance way, "Yeah tell me about it", Asta sat down on the grass lawn of the school, "And to think that my little brother is gonna be going here", he grabbed Asta in a headlock ruffling his hair, before Asta pushed him off, "CUT IT OUT", Asta laughed after, "AWWW C'MERE", Liebe picked Asta up by double legging him, "Put me down", Asta fakely hit Liebe on the back trying to get him to let go, "Alright", Liebe put him down, "But I'm serious man", Liebe and Asta sat back down, "Maybe while you're here you'll meet a cute rich girl", He punched Asta in the arm, "Yeah right, as if some rich snobby girl is gonna be interested in me", Asta laughed Liebe's comment off, "are you still thinking about her?", Liebe put his shoulder around Asta, "Yeah", Asta looked down, "Hey dude it's gonna be alright", Liebe assured him, "Yeah your right", the two got up seeing their mom come over, "Alright let's go inside", she said walking towards the front door
Inside the three looked around the office which was HUGE and at the front desk was a guy with light blue hair and a bolt cut
"Hello", he waved to the family, of which Asta and Liebe were trying their absolute hardest not to laugh at him, "Yeah we're here to see someone named Dominatio Kira", Lichita walked to the front desk, "Oh you must be Asta?", Marx raised his brow, "Uh no he's my son", she pointed back at the two, who were trying not to laugh, "Uh huh", Marx could likely tell why they were laughing, "Ok let me just notify him really quick and he'll be right out", the bowl cut man got up and walked away, "YOU TWO BEHAVE", Lichita whisper yelled to the two who immediately straightened out, "Yes mam", the two went to sit in the chairs waiting for Kira to show up
"Oh, kid I'm glad you decided to take me up on the offer", Asta looked up from a sleepy daze, "Huh?", he couldn't properly make out what the guy was saying, "Sorry I took a bit", he held out his hand for Asta to shake, which Asta after realizing what was going on promptly did, "OH YEAH NO PROBLEM", Asta shook it nervously, "No need to be nervous we'll give you the tour and talk about your enrollment", he gave Asta an assuring smile, "Oh right", Asta put his hands on his pocket
"First is the main hall's the place your locker will be", Kira told the family, which in all fairness while the outside was definitely old school, the interior was rather modern
he showed Asta to the locker that would be his for last two years of high school, "Noelle Silva?", Asta looked at the name plate on the locker right next to his, "Oh she's just another student here", Kira waved off Asta's question, "Oh ok", Asta just left it alone, "Silva huh?", he thought to himself before following Kira to the next sight.
"Here we have the cafeteria, a two-story eatery for students here"
"Do I have to pay?", Asta asked him, "Kinda, you are here on our pay, so just present your student ID and you'll be allowed to order two meals every day for breakfast and lunch", Kira assured Asta, "Man it looks really nice", Lichita looked around, "It is, students here love it", Kira smiled to her, "MAN I'M JEALOUS", Liebe shook his brother, "Yeah yeah man", Asta pushed him away
"Here are the classrooms they are pretty standard throughout the school so they rarely will look much different than this one", Kira opened the door to the classroom
"Smart boards?", Asta looked at the front, "Yeah the latest technology", Kira shook his head, "We still use chalkboards", Liebe commented, "Yeah this is pretty cool, but what about the-", Asta was cut off by Kira, "I know what you're thinking, and yes that's up next", Kira motioned the three to follow him
"And here is the place you will hone your abilities as a fighter"
"A sleek gym with everything from cardio machines, weight training, and of course the standing heavy bags along with the ring", Asta looked around, "GEEZ THIS PLACE IS AMAZING", Asta marveled at the gym, "May I ask for a demonstration?", Kira asked Asta, "What?", Asta looked a little confused, "Oh I'm just asking if you could show me one of the moves you did in the unndeground", Kira commented making Asta and Lichita remember the night before, Asta looked over at his mom, "Go for it kid", she gave Asta a thumbs up, Asta threw a spinning heel hook at the bag which made a loud almost gunshot sound, which was cut off by the chain letting out a loud chink that echoed through the gym, "Oh my for someone your size to be kicking that hard", Kira was amazed alongside Lichita being rather surprised, "Thank you", Asta bowed to him, "But considering your knock out over Hapshass I shouldn't be surprised", Asta wasn't sure what he meant, "Oh never mind I think it's about time we discuss your enrollment", Asta just let it go, "Alright", Lichita giddy with excitement quickly followed, Asta and Liebe stayed behind and looked at the bag, "HAHAHAHAHAHA", the two exploded with laughter
In Kira's office
"So, all that considered I don't think your ambition to attend our school hasn't waned?", Kira asked Asta, "NO NOT AT ALL THIS IS AWESOME", Asta rocked back and forward in his chair, "Fantastic, first I need your mother and you to sign these papers", he pushed a stack of them to them, "What are they for?", Lichita asked him, "The metro pass as I saw through Asta's records that you live rather far from the school, your consent for him to train at and compete for our school, the lunch pass, and Lastly a medical waiver that allows us to give medical care or call emergency services when or even if it was necessary", Kira gave a quick break down of the paper work, "And you're gonna pay for all of it?", she asked, "Yes mam", he smiled at her, "Alright then", she signed the papers Asta soon followed and then they were brought to a photo room, "Alright we'll just be taking Asta's student photo and that will be all until school starts august seventh where you can come to the front office to pick up your ID", Kira told them, "ALRIGHT", Asta sat down and took the picture
Unfortunately, he had forgotten that the night before left his face looking like wild animal tried to maul him, "WAIT CAN I RETAKE IT", he screamed, "Sorry but this is all the time we have before school starts again", Kira gave Asta a reassuring smile, "NO NO NO NOOOO", Asta yelled while his brother and mom laughed at him
In the car ride back
Asta was a bit mopy that his school ID photo turned out terrible, "Hey kid it's just a picture", his mom rubbed his shoulder, "I know just kinda lame that it turned out bad", Asta put his chin into his palm and looked out the window, "Y'know I was so worried about you", she told him, "I know mom", Asta told her, "I was worried that one day something irreparable would happen to you", her eyes got really watery, "I was worried that someday you'd come home and never be the same, but even worse I worried that you'd get yourself killed", she shook her head a little, "Hey mom don't worry ok? I'm fine and here I'll have the best in the world training and looking after me, so you don't need to worry", he assured his mom, "I know I'm just............Happy that the thing you love gets to make you happy", she wiped the tears from her eyes, "Just don't let those kids go around telling you anything cause unlike them you fought really hard to be here", "I won't mom"
The Staria residence
they got back at around seven at night after they went shopping for some new clothes for Asta, "I guess we could just celebrate with everyone tomorrow", Lichita said as she unlocked the door to the house, "Yeah that's fine", Asta said as he walked in
"SURPRISE", the lights to the house shot on as a bunch of friends had planned a surprise party for Asta, "WHAT THE", Asta almost fell over from the surprise, "C'MON KID", a guy with black and purple hair picked him up, "Kid we're in the same grade", Asta playfully pushed him off, "YEAH MAGNA", a blonde boy punched him in the arm, "LUCK CUT THAT OUT", Magna chased Luck outside, "Well kid I never thought YOU of all people would get into a school like that", a girl a few years older than him came over and put her arm on his head to prop herself up, "WHATS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN", Asta flailed his arms in the air getting her away from him, "Calm down kid I'm joking", she went to go sit on the sofa, "Well not gonna lie dude I'm sad your leaving us", a guy with now eyebrows clutched his heart, "You're making it sound like I died", Asta laughed at him, "I can almost hear his voice", a girl with pink hair followed, with the two bursting into laughter, "Whatever", Asta grabbed a chair from the dining table, "WOW DUDE YOU REALLY GOT IN?", a girl with a medical eyepatch got in his face, "Vanica not so close you're spitting", Asta turned his face away from her, "SORRY BUT C'MON HOW'D IT HAPPEN", she shook herself, "I'll tell you later", Asta looked at the counter which had trays of food, "First imma eat", Asta got up but was sat back down by a girl pink eyes and black hair, "Not so fast Dante said to wait", "AWWWW MARI", Asta complained, "NO", she pushed him back down, "FINE", Asta looked over at the sofa where a guy with a star tattoo on his forehead, "Zenon make some room", Asta walked over to him, "Well kid seems that fighting finally paid off", Zenon remarked, "Yeah it did", Asta smiled, "KID", Asta heard from the door, "YAMI", he shot up to greet his coach, "Looks like you got a pretty nice offer", he ruffled Asta's hair, "AH WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP DOING THAT", Asta moved his hand causing Yami to laugh, "Anyways Dante's outside he's about to come in so", "SO WE CAN EAT", everyone laughed at Asta's enthusiasm for the food
Dante came through the front door alongside Asta's mom and brother, "Alright kid here", he placed a box on the table, "What's this?", Asta asked, "A cake", "AWESOME", Asta opened it, "I swear dude you never grew up", Liebe laughed at him, "WHATEVER", Asta got up looking at the people around him Mars a guy that he started to scrap with when they first met, Fana the girl that kind of acted like the voice of reason for them, Mariella a girl who he had met through her adoptive father the man that had introduced him to Yami, Magna Asta's closes friend since first grade, Luck was a close second though meeting through Vanessa a sort of foster sister to Luck and a girl that when Asta was in elementary school he had a huge crush on her, Dante and his siblings Vanica and Zenon, Dante was a guy who had become friends with his mom from his moms working as an emergency hotline operator and he was pretty sure they were dating, Zenon was the middle child of the family and the guy he had the most in common with, Vanica was a weird case she wasn't bad just weird the type of person you tried to avoid in school but when you hung out with her it wasn't really apparent why anyone would avoid her, Yami his coach, trainer, nutritionist ETC. he was also the guy that Asta looked up to the most a retired cage fighter who had to cut it short cause of fear of long term problems in life after he got into a motorcycle crash, but he helped Asta sharpen his skills as a fighter and getting the kid money work at his auto-body shop, Liebe was his older brother and while they looked really really REALLY alike, they weren't related by blood if that ever mattered in the first place, and the most important person in Asta's life his mom, she had given up a lot in her life, a love for art, music...................Kick boxing she had given it all to raise him and his brother so to him he could never pay her back, but he would try till the day he died to, "THANK YOU GUYS", Asta's eyes got really watery, "Hey c'mon kid don't cry", Yami put his arm around him, "Just do your best with the opportunity that you've been given", Lichita came to give her son a hug, "I WILL", Asta yelled as the night went on the celebration continued
August 7th
The day had come August 7th, the day he would finally begin to attend the most prestigious school in Clover, and unlike most of the time for school he got up early to get ready since he had to get to the metro in time, but just like him Lichita and Liebe had gotten up early, "Are you sure you don't need a ride", Lichita asked her son, "It's fine mom really", Asta put his hands on her shoulders, "I got this", "Alright", she gave her son a kiss on the cheek, "Alright man this is it, go out there and show them who you are", his brother punched him in the arm, "YEAH", Asta got his backpack, "SEE YOU GUYS LATER", Asta ran down the street waving
getting to the metro was a bit unfortunate as he needed his school ID to get on, which he didn't have yet, even though he had fight money he didn't really want to spend it right now, "OH FINE", he gave the machine 14.50 Yuls getting his ticket
And for the most part it was rather uneventful getting to the school all be it super boring as he just listened to music, "OH MAN", he thought to himself thinking about his first day at a new school, and what felt like forever the metro had finally stopped, "ALRIGHT", Asta got up making his way through the crowd of people, and he saw the school from down the street, "I GOT THIS", he screamed throwing his arms in the air to hype himself up making a B-line to the school
Asta had made it to the parking lot as he saw more people come in pulling up in fancy expensive cars, "Geez talk about loaded", he walked past the parking lot to the front office where he saw Marx again, "Oh Mr. Staria", Marx cut his attention from the line of students who were now giving Asta a death glare for interrupting them, "Here", Marx handed him his ID, "Hehe thanks", Asta scratched his head and power walked away from the line
He was now approaching the lockers where he had seen a big group of people gathered near his, "What the", he thought to himself pushing past the crowd making his way to the front where he saw a few girls by his locker, "This is getting kind of out of control", A girl with blue hair was talking to the others, "Talk about it", another girl with black hair and teal eyes rolled her eyes, "I don't know it's cool I guess", the final girl one with silver hair and pink eyes opened her locker revealing a few packages with hearts on them, the crowd were talking about them how pretty they were, how lucky someone would be to even get to talk to them, it was weird or at least really weird to Asta, they didn't seem tough or like they had any talents so what was the point of fussing over them, "So how was your date with Kiato?", the black haired girl asked the silver one, "Oh well it didn't end up happening he said he an emergency practice for football(Soccer for some of you)", she began to place things in her locker, "What about you and that guy from summer school you end up getting a long?", the silver hair girl replied, "Nah he wasn't really my type", the black haired girl tried to push everything back into her locker, "Oh yeah Grey what about that guy you were hanging out with", they both asked her, "Oh wel-", but the conversation was cut short as they noticed Asta walking towards them, but they didn't recognize him he hadn't been there before, was he some sort of fan?, the silver one rolled her eyes before sighing, "Hey look-", but she was ignored, "WHAT", she thought as she watched the him open the locker right next to hers and put some stuff in, "EXCUSE ME", she closed his locker, "HEY WHAT WAS THAT FOR", Asta yelled at her, which also caught her off guard, "YOU ALMOST CRUSHED MY HANDS", Asta looked at his hands making sure nothing was damaged, "WELL ITS YOUR FAULT", she flipped her hair and looked away, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY FAULT?", he continued to yell at her, "YOU INTERRUPTED US", she snapped back at him, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DIDN'T EVEN TALK TO ANY OF YOU", Asta began to stomp his foot really fast, "YOU-", "AH NEVERMIND", Asta picked up the stuff he dropped and put it into his backpack trying to disengage with her which also caught her by surprise, "HEY YOU DON'T END THE CONVERSATION WITH ME", she put her hand on Asta's shoulder gripping it, "Let go", Asta looked back at her this time with what felt like actual anger rather than minor annoyance, "NO", she said right before she heard someone call her name, "Noelle what's going on?"
"Kiato", Noelle looked back at him, "Hey what's your problem", he looked at Asta, "MY PROBLEM SHE ALMOST CRUSHED MY HAND IN MY LOCKER", Asta yelled at him, "That's no reason to yell at her", he stepped closer to Asta, "SHE YELLED AT ME FIRST, NOT TO MENTION ALMOST BREAKING MY HAND", Asta stood his ground as him and Kiato went face to face, "And what are you gonna do about it?", he got in Asta's face, his girlfriend and her friends had a bit of a snarky look on their faces, "You threatening me?", Asta asked him, "And what if I am?", Kiato replied causing the audience to let out a gasp at the new kid , but Asta didn't respond, "Say something", Kiato told Asta but he didn't say anything, "Ok then", Kiato turned around as if he was gonna leave, but immediately turned back and took a swing at Asta who ducked it and without saying a word Asta leaned back
Asta dropped him with a headbutt, "OH SHIT", Noelle went to her boyfriend's side, "WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?", she yelled at him, "Shouldn't have swung first", Asta said as he picked his backpack up, "WHATS GOING ON HERE?", they heard a woman scream
the woman made her way through the crowd seeing the scene as it currently was, "HE HIT HIM", Noelle pointed at Asta, "HEY I DIDN'T PUT MY HANDS ON HIM", Asta yelled back at her, "ALRIGHT ALL OF YOU MY OFFICE NOW", the lady yelled, "Yes Ms. Roselei", Noelle and her friends gave Asta the middle finger, "YOU TOO", Asta yelled at them, "YOUNG MAN", Ms. Roselei grabbed Asta by the back of his shirt, "Kiato started it", a voice was heard from the middle of the crowd, "I'm sorry what?", Roselei let go of Asta, "Kiato started it", the voice said again, this time moving past the crowd
"Is that so? All of you agree that's what happened?", Roselei asked the crowd who seemed to agree some of them coming forward showing her the a short video of the altercation making her let go of him, "I'll still be calling your mom, and you will be in detention for a month hitting someone even if they started it is wrong", she dusted Asta off, "And that is your first warning", she walked away following Noelle and Co, "Thanks", Asta looked the guy, "What's your name?", he asked him, "Yuno", he replied, "Well nice to meet you man, and really you saved my skin", Asta nervously rubbed the back of his neck, "No problem I can't stand that guy", Yuno looked in the direction they were going, "I just met him and I hate him", Asta chuckled, *RING RING* the sound of the bell letting the students know it was time for Home room had gone off, "Well thanks man, maybe I'll catch you at lunch", Asta ran waving at Yuno, "He seems a little weird", Yuno turned around
"Ahh, chill Klaus he seems fine", Yuno just started walking the same direction of Asta, "Think we got any classes with him?", Klaus asked him, "Probably", Yuno smiled, "Didn't know you could smile", Klaus playfully shoved him, "Aw shut up man I just couldn't wait for that guy to get what was coming, maybe now he'll stop acting like such a big shot", the two laughed walking down the hall way
With Noelle and her friends
"WHAT WAS THAT GUYS PROBLEM", Noelle screamed holding an ice pack to her boyfriend's eye, who hadn't really said anything since it happened, Charlotte Roselei, the head of discipline at the school had come into the room, "SO WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THAT GUY", Noelle got up, "Well I heard that Kiato is the one who started the altercation", she sat down and rose her eyebrow at the group, which did cause the group to kind of just shut up, "But-", "AND from what I've heard from other students, you also had a hand in starting it", "WELL I", "I'm not going to lie to you Ms. Silva the year literally just started, and you are already looking to be in trouble", she scolded her, "BUT" "No but's Noelle I told you last year that this type of behavior was unacceptable and the year before that, so I suggest you stop it, but as for Kiato he'll be suspended for throwing the first punch got it", "Yes mam", the group aside from Kiato answered, , "Noelle you'll be having detention for the first month of class, GOT IT", Noelle just nodded her head as she looked down, "So out of my office now", Noelle's group left the room, "WHO DOES THAT GUY THINK HE IS", Charmy her best friend at school yelled as soon as they were out of earshot, "I know right?", Grey the seemingly shy one was speaking out, "Whatever doubt we'll have too many interactions with him anyway", Noelle assured her friends before turning to her boyfriend, "You ok?", he was silent for a while, "It hurt", he broke that silence, "He hit me and it hurt worse than almost anything I've ever been hit by", he walked alongside the girls, "Hey man don't be-", "You didn't notice it did you?", he looked at Noelle, "Notice what?", "His face", "What about his face?", "He had a bunch of scars on it, and his knuckles were an entirely different color than the rest of his hands, also when he hit me it felt like his head was made of metal", Kiato gave his girlfriend a slight look of annoyance, "I'll see you guys later", he walked away without so much as a kiss, "Geez he seems really mad about it", Charmy chuckled, "Yeah talk about pissy", Grey commented, "Well he's just upset right now", Noelle wasn't all too sure of her last words, "Well I'll see you later", she waved to her friends
Now was the time for home room, "Well it couldn't get worse than that", she said to herself as she opened the door to her home room, "OH NO", she thought as she saw that the boy from earlier was in the same home room class as her, but what made it worse was the fact that the only available seat was right next to him, "OK CAN'T BE WORSE", she thought to herself, "Alright guys sit down and get comfortable, cause these are the seats you'll be having for the rest of the year", the teacher announced to the class, "Goodbye peace", she went to sit down next to him, "And hello year filled with problems"
