The Taker of Magic; A Black Clover Story

Act III - Wanted: Dead or Alive

Noelles eyes open, looking around as Asta flies through the air, his large black sword being used as a broom replacement, Asta wearing black pants and a white muscle shirt, showing off his black arm and large muscles

She lays on the back of the long blade, Asta standing as he looks towards the horizon, night falling as she has a blanket covering her along with a sweater, and a bag of food and water next to her

"A-asta?!" Noelle says as she looks at Asta, Asta turns, looking at her as the sword stops flying, Asta kneeling down and looking at her

"Hey" Asta says as Noelle looks around

"Where are we Asta.... whats going on?" Noelle says as Asta sighs, sitting next to her as he looks into the sky

"Liebe told us whenever you were in pain and knocked out, you're dying Noelle" Asta says as Noelle looks away

"Yeah... Rias told me inside of my head, her magic is rotting inside of me due to her blooming when I fought Vetto" Noelle says as Asta looks at her

"But its not bad right now... she said that since It was the first bloom, its just starting, but ill be in pain and stuff but I still have a while before the more serious effects kick in, but even then, its a couple months at most" Noelle says as Asta shakes his head

"Yeah, thats why I took you, Liebe told me about something... maybe they can help" Asta says as Noelle looks at him

"Who?" Noelle says as Asta shakes his head

"Dont worry, we will be there sometime tommorow, theyre in the very edge of the Clover Kingdom" Asta says as his blade lowers slowly, the two of them landing on the ground as Astas sword disappears, Asta grabbing the bag as Noelle gets off of the blade, standing next to Asta as he opens it, opening it as he looks around at the trees

"Hold on" Asta says as he grabs a blanket, putting it on the ground as he sits Noelle down on the ground, Noelle blushing at his touch and how caring he has been

"Hes being so nice... is this how he really feels?" Noelle says as he walks off, grabbing his blade as he goes into the forest, cutting down trees and slowly grabbing the logs, taking them back as he slowly places them as a small structure, 4 walls and a roof with a big opening as the door, then putting everything in the small house as he lights a small fire in there

"Its hard to believe you have a devil inside you Noelle" Asta says as he smiles a bit, grabbing a water as he slides Noelle a bottle of water, Noelle drinking it as she has a soft smile

"Hmph, who knew we would run away together" Noelle says with a blush as Asta laughs

"Its not running away... I just dont think the mages in the kingdom can help you out, and I honestly care too much for you to just let you rot away" Asta says as he has a somewhat shy look on his face

"Remember when we first met each other, you walked into me and ended up fighting my brothers!" Noelle says with a embarrassed look as Asta smiles

"It's fine, I mean, a peasant with a devil? its like giving a monkey a machine gun" Asta says as he raises his hand, magic surrounding it as Noelle looks

"Hey... Light magic.... and whats that?" Noelle asks as Asta smiles

"Quake magic, Liebe granted me the ability to use this when I lost my arm" Asta says as Noelle reaches out, caressing his arm slowly

"Its really amazing, theres so much things in this world that can be used to help us" Noelle says as Asta smiles at her, the two looking at each others eyes

"Asta... I thank you for this, youre going out of your way to help me out.... and I cant express it, but you make me feel like im worth something" Noelle says as she looks at the small fire
