Noelle wakes up, looking around as Ryu stands above her
"Hey, yer up finally?" Ryu asks as Noelle yawns, looking around her room as its nice and tidy
"What time is it?" Noelle asks as Ryu looks at the time
"Noon, you slept in quite a bit, but you did have an important fight yesterday, it makes sense" Ryu says as Noelle sits up
"Cmon, we're all waiting in the back of the building, we have to start training" Ryu says as Noelle nods, getting up as she changes into her regular attire, going through the building as she arrives in the back, seeing Ichika, Ryu and the other clover mages
"ABOUT TIME!" Leopold says as Noelle rolls her eyes
"Whatever" Noelle says as she walks towards the others, smiling
"Good morning!" Mimosa says as Noelle waves back, Ichika looking at all of them
"Okay, lets walk a bit" Ichika says as she and Ryu walk behind the building, going through the beautiful forrest of the land as they keep walking
"Where are we going?" Kaguya asks as Ryu smiles
"Far away, just in case our training gets out of hand, dont want any of my citizens to get hurt!" Ryu says as they continue walking, until they reach a large, empty area surrounded by bamboo and trees, miles from civilization
"OKAY!" Ryu says as he claps his hands, everyone looking at him
"So, I gauged each of you guys strength, and I gotta admit, youre talented and strong!" Ryu says as he smirks
"But, youre not strong enough to beat the devils... not yet anyways" Ryu says as he looks at ichika
"Show them" Ryu says as Ichika nods, walking to him as he looks at everyone
"I showed Noelle a bit of my power, but, let me demonstrate further" Ichika says as she turns around, looking at a long mile of trees as he puts her hand on her blade, looking ahead as she takes a deep breath
"HRAH!" She yells as in one stroke, she unleashes her blade, slashing as she cuts nearly a mile and a half of trees in one slash, her slash creating a whirlwind that pushes everyone back as the mages are stunned
"Her power nearly quadrupled!" Leopold says as Kaguya and the others nod
'Amazing" Charlotte says as Ichika puts her blade back
"That was Zetten, a technique that takes in the ki from around you, which can multiply your damage and strength" Ryu says as Noelle looks at him
"I believe Asta uses Ki... isn't it like natural energy, or something like that?" Noelle asks as Kaguya nods
"I studied it and heard of it in the Heart Kingdom" Kaguya says as Ichika nods
"Ki is something everything and everyone has, everyone has used it ,but since we have mana, we use that instead, but Ki can actually strengthen our attacks" Ichika says everyone nods
"But didn't you use another technique?" Noelle asks as Ichika nods
"Yes..." Ichika says as she raises her hands, her eyes turning black as energy rises around her
KAIOKEN!
Ichika bulks up as her energy spikes up, raising her blade as she slashes, cutting down alot of trees and land with a single strike as she takes a deep breath, going back to her regular state
""That was Kaioken, its a technique that brings in ki and mana around you which then amplifies your power for an extended period of time, instead of just the massive amount of power for a single strike" Ichika says as she looks at them
"By the day of the raid, you guys will have this down to a tee" Ichika says as the mages nod
"Now, we assigned each of you to one of the Ryuzen 7 for training about Ki" Ichika says as she points at Rill
"Rill, you will be trained by Jozou " Ichika says as Ril nods
"Charlotte, you will be trained by Komari" Ichika says as she nods
"Leopold, you will be trained by Daizemon" Ichika says as he nods
"Mimosa, you will be trained by Fujio" Ichika says as she nods
"Kaguya, youll be trained by Ginnojomourifuyu" Ichika says as she nods
"Finally, youll be trained by me Noelle" Ichika says as Noelle nods, before she looks around
"You said theres 7 of you...arent you missing one?" Noelle asks as Ryu smiles
"Hes off on business!" Ryu says as he smiles, his eyes lighting up
"Also, forgot to mention!" Ryu says as he puts his finger up
"Asta has returned to the Clover Kingdom through unexplained ways, hes being treated for injuries!" Ryu says as everyones eyes widen, espically Noelle and Mimosa
"A-ASTA IS BACK?!" Noelle yells in happiness as Ryu nods
"He returned last night, but he had bad injuries and didn't wake up till this morning!" Ryu says as Noelle runs up to him
"BUT HOW? WHERE? CAN WE TALK TO HIM?!" Noelle asks as Leopold cheers, the others happy as well
"NOPE!" Ryu says as all of them look confused
"Why not?" Mimosa asks as Ryu looks at them
"I dont want to distract you from training for one" Ryu says as he looks at each of them
"but if anything, this should make you all train more and harder... Asta is back, and hes one of our strongest weapons to win this war" Ryu says as Noelle looks at him
"Why dont wr bring him here?! Wont he need to learn this?" Noelle says as Leopold looks at her
"She's really just trying her hardest to get him here huh?" Leopold says as Ryu smiles
"Dont worry, I got It covered" Ryu says with a bright grin
Clover Kingdom
Asta wakes up in his hospital bed, yawning as he looks at his wounds, most of them mostly gone as one figure stands above his bed, looking at him as he smiles
Hes tall, but buff, he has short hair with a long katana by his side, wearing a odd pair of pants as he has a small shirt on, covering his upper chest while revealing his abbs
"You up kid?" He says as Asta looks at him, confused
"Who are you?" Asta says as he scans him
"Hes incredibly strong, and his ki seems calm..." Asta says as the man grins
"Good" He says as he dashes towards Asta, swinging his leg back as his leg buffs up, an aura surronidng it as Asta quickly reacts, covering up
"HRAH!" the man yells as Asta is BLOWN out of the building, getting sent through the air as Asta quickly reacts
"LIEBE!" Asta yells as Liebe nods, Asta morphing
DEVIL UNION!
"Who the hell is that?!" Asta says as the man flys out of the building, launching as he throws a punch, Asta summons his demon slayer sword as he swings the large blade, smacking the mans fist as Asta is easily overpowered
"What the fuck?!" Asta says as hes thrown back towards the ground, bouncing off of it as he avoids other people around him, flying back into the air with his wings as the man bounces off of the air
"He hits way harder then even Zaraki... but its odd, its not magic nor his natural strength" Asta says he flies in, light magic appearing in his hand
LIGHT MAGIC - LIGHT SPEARS OF CONVICTION!
Asta launches spears of light towards the man as he dodges them, Asta covering his hand in quake magic
QUAKE MAGIC - EARTHSHATTER!
Asta swings his fist, catching the man in the face as it sends him backward as hes thrown through mutiple buildings
"What the hell is his deal?" Asta says as he lands in front of him, the man getting up as he wipes blood off of his nose as he smiles
"Such power, even without Zettan or Kaioken!" He says as he grins, Asta confused
"Listen, I dont know who the hell you are, but you better get out of here!" Asta says as he raises his blade, the man rising up as he cracks his neck, taking a deep breath
KAIOKEN X2!
"HRAHH!" The man roars as he bulks up, launching forward even faster then before as his fist slams into Astas face, throwing him back into the air as Asta is stunned
"He just got even faster and stronger!" Asta says as things look blurry to him, but he makes out the man closing in as he laughs
"ASTA! YOURE A GREAT OPPENENT!" He yells as Asta is confused, but shakes it off as he raises his blade
BLACK DIVDER!
"HES COMING!" Liebe yells as Asta nods, coating his blade in more anti magic as he rushes inwards, the man raising his hand as an aura surrounds it as Asta keeps going
"RAHHHHHH!" The two warriors yell as they charge in....
SHADOW MAGIC - BINDING SHADOWS!
Shadows bind the two from out of the air as Nacht appears between them
"Are you satisfied?" Nacht says as he looks at the man, the man looking at Nacht as he smiles
"Yeah, hes defiantly all they said of him to be" He says as he looks at Asta, all of them landing on the ground as Asta reverts back to normal
"Asta, this is Yosuga, he is a warrior from the. land of the sun" Nacht says as Yosuga waves at him
"Hey kid, sorry about the introduction, I just wanted to make sure you were the real deal" Yosuga says as he walks over, patting Astas head as Asta looks at him
"I guess its okay" Asta says as he rubs his body, the pain still sticking with him as Yosuga smiles
"How did you hit me so hard? I know its not just your strength" Asta asks as Yosuga smiles
"Zettan kid, and Kaioken, its alot to explain" Yosuga says as Asta looks at Nacht, pretty confused
"Lets go somewhere else" Nacht says as they teleport somewhere else, reappearing in a barren land somewhere in the Forsaken region of the Clover Kingdom
"Allow me to introduce myself formally" Yosuga says as he goes to shake Astas hand
"Name is Ysouga Musyogatake, im a warrior from the land of the sun, thats where your friends went to train" Yosuga says as Asta nods
"I see, nice to meet you, im Asta" Asta says as Yosuga smiles
"Ive heard all about you kid, the anti magic kid" Yosuga says as he looks at Astas body
"You've got an impressive frame as well, you workout alot?" Yosuga asks as Asta nods, laughing
"Yeah, I train alot" Asta says with a grin as Yosuga smiles
"Well thats good kid, cause trust me, we both are gonna kick your ass and whip you into shape!" Yosuga says as Nacht looks at Asta
"Youre going to be our strongest warrior Asta, and im going to help make sure of it" Nacht says as he looks at him
"Everyone is training, we cant be left behind" Nacht says with a grin as Asta smiles
"Yeah!" Asta says with Liebe on his shoulder, but another person appears from the forrest
"I see you were already training... Nero" Nacht says as Nero nods, tired from training as she smiles
Around the clover kingdom, we see as our strongest warriors train hard.
"HRAH!" Jack yells as he slashes down another mountain, tired as his group members also stand training around him as they look in awe
"Dont worry Yami, you wont die that easily!" Jack says with a grin.
Nozel and Fuegoleon stand in a volcano, their clothes ripped as they spar hard with their magic shaking the entire region around them
"For the sake of our world, and so I can kill the devil who took my mother!" Nozel says
"For the sake of our citizens!" Fuegoleon says with a smile as he and Nozel collide again
Dorthy walks into the a large room, looking at a large woman on a seat as she looks at looks angry
"You too?" She says as Dorthy turns, seeing Vanessa of the Black Bulls standing in the room already
"You can tell whats going down, and although we have a bad relationship mother, we need training" Dorthy says as the Witch Queen nods
"I can agree on that."
"UGHHHH!" A females voice moans loudly with an orgasm as she hits the bed, waiting a bit as she gets up, getting off of the bed as she walks, grabbing a robe as she wraps it around her body
"I missed you" She says as it pans up, past her breasts as Mereoelona grins, looking at Ash in bed as he lays back, putting a cigarette in his mouth as he looks at her, sitting back in bed
"Glad to end off a hard day of training like this" Ash says with a grin as his eyes light up with magic
Julius sits in his office, designing plans as he takes a deep breath, finishing up as he smiles
"This could work... going off of pure strenght snd weaknesses, maybe" Julius says as he grabs his head, stressed out
"In the end, things will be left up to fate, but I have trust in these guys, in my kingdom" Julius says as he smiles
"Yes, my humans."
end of the land of the sun arc.
