The Taker of Magic; A Black Clover Story

The Vice Captain

Azazel stands in a dark and barren world, the underworld

Behind him, a figure starts to walk, yawning as he stretches his arms

"Jackel... its been a while pal" Azazel says as Jackal stretches his arms, looking at him

"Yeah.... whats the deal?" Jackal asks as Azazel turns, talking to him as Jackals eyes open up

"Hey... im not even interested in the politics of the overworld, but I know doing that means absolute war" Jackal says as Azazel nods

"We're ready to capitalize on the chaos of it, theres still 3 pieces we need" Azazel says as Jackal looks at him

"You know I dont operate without something for me... im a selfish bastard" Jackal says as Azazel laughs

"I know, although I was hoping you'd be more respectful to your senior" Azazel says as he reaches into his pocket, throwing him a bag, Jackal opening it as theres plenty of coins in there

"I know youre into collecting weapons from the human world, that should be enough for mutiple of the finest weapons" Azazel says as Jackal smiles, his teeth a bright white

"Anyways... how's your father?" Azazel asks as Jackals smile turns stale, looking at him

"The geezer is fine, ill eat with him every couple years but its usually just notes" Jackal says as Azazel looks at him, the two taking a seat in the grass 

"With all that time you spend in the overworked, I thought it wouldve been more often" Azazel says as Jackal looks at him

"You know I just dont like it here... devil human hybrids like me and you, you know more then me that if we weren't the offspring of the strongest, we'd be killed or kicked to the dirt like the others" Jackal says as Azazl nods

"Yeah... thats true I guess" Azazel says as he looks Jackal

"And you? How's your brother?" Jackal asks as Azazel looks at him

"The boys fine... too bad he'll have to die for the tree to open."

"The vice captain?!" Asta says shocked as Nacht nods, Noelle looking at him as the binds between the 2 release, Nacht looking at the two of them

"How did you find us... why did you find us?" Noelle asks as Nahct throws a paper to them

"Youre lucky Yami is smart, he knew something like this would happen and alerted me, thanks to my devils being of a decently high rank, im able to sense out other devils in this world easily" Nacht says as Noelle grabs the newspaper, reading it as her heart drops

"Oh no... no no no no" Noelle says as Asta grabs it, reading it as his heart drops

"Fuck..." Asta says as he sits back, throwing the paper to the side

"It will take some convincing, but we can maybe clear this up" Nahct says as the two young mages look at him

"But first, Yami gave me an idea of where you were going" He says as he turns to Asta

"You were going to go see him right?" Nacht says as Asta looks away

"Liebe told me about him, a healing mage who left the underworld and decided to be better" Asta says as Nacht nods

"Yeah, Zuko, my devils told me about him, hes in this direction as well in a village secluded" Nacht says as he looks at Noelle, Noelles hair and magic going back to normal as she falls to her knee
