So, as days went by, both myself and Yuno, went out seperate ways to train, for the magic knight exams. And everyone was surprised to see me taller, and now after a few months, I really have honed my skills, and my childish antics, of me fawning over sister Lily phase was utterly removed permanently by Toren Sensei. He has left me alot of his belongings, out which were in the capsules, as he liked to call them. He made study and understand the mechanism behind it, as he told me, not to confuse technology with magic. At that time i didn't buy after years of being with him and him now not being here made me, realise that how important being smart and strong is. After that day under the Skull, at the Grimoire ceremony, He has been assimilated into my very being, now i can enter the form at will, and my power level has been skyrocketed, now i can measure my power with and without the transformations. In my normal mode,
ASTA (NORMAL): 200
ASTA (TRANSFORMED)- 2000 + Anti Magic Sword(500).
YUNO- 2000 with Wind magic fully enhanced + new spell (200).
I'm still ahead of yuno in terms of combat ability, and my attacks are versatile, so is his, but i still have the edge over him and this is driving him crazy over the few times I beat his ass.
And back to the capsule, I now own several housing capsules, Portable Time Chamber, Sensu bean stock, Ki manual, fully stocked fridge that refills automatically once its contents are emptied. Ever since my assimilation, with Toren, I've had this vivid memories of his life as a dream. He explained to me, that it was the only way, that he could sustain and pass down his abilities to the worthy. And soon he'll fade away from my consciousness, strengthening my soul, and my body will change or more precisely evolve into something more powerful, perhaps even powerful than any man in the universe, till then, keep breaking my limits, as now, I've inherited his will and power, my body has the traits of a Namekian, Saiyan, Frost Demon, Yadratian and a special human, all these and more. But all of it will need a balance, as something else is also in me, as he warned me of my future. But always choose. After he said that, my vision of being just a Wizard king wasn't enough, now I had the potential to be more.So, after training my body, mind and spirit now, I feel reinvigorated, I found out that my grimoire houses an otherworldly being, and i began to talk to it, failing several times,but finally broke through it, as i learned that both of our origins, were connected, as my mother was also his. How she defended him, until the last her moments, and why she gave me up, as she was cursed to drain life(magical) energy, and that's part of the reason, why I was born even without a speck of magic. I learned from him that, our Enemy was a common one, and i began to call him my brother, and after much pestering he revealed his name to me, as Leibe! and our mother's name was Lichita!. After that i found a way to bring him to the outside world, through my meeting with a weird guy named Nacht, as even with all my powers, he still managed to beat me, but he did say, he was impressed with how i fought him, even with all my might, in all of that he was curious as he couldn't sense any mana from me, he asked me, to which I replied, if I beat him, he'll tell me about the ritual to bring Leibe, and if he wins I'll tell him my secret, and as a pact, i did tell him about Ki Control, and to my amusement he told about the devil summoning ritual, also mentioned that someone else he knew, know of Ki Control, and he's supposed to be the captain of The Black Bulls, and called said that guy was jerk, to which i replied more than you?,and that made him, punch me, After we said our goodbyes, we made an equal pact of sorts, Our common enemy was The Devil himself, and he believes that i have the power to do him, and he'll make sure, that i dint screw up, he said, as we made the pact on equal terms.
Then after training Leibe, we learned to use each other's powerUp mode, although it only worked on my normal body, not on my Assimilation form, like Toren, Leibe said, it has to do something with me finding balance with my spirit, mind and body. So I did just that, or tried to, as per Toren's instructions prior when we used to train, so far, I've only managed to come to Balance with my Saiyan side. And thirst more for battles, has made me venture into the depths of Forbidden zone, where magic beasts and many other strong beings resides.
After gruesome trainings, i managed to perfect my ki control, I could now sense everyone in Hage village, I perfected, Instant Transmission, Flying, Healing, Duplication, Kamehameha, Galick Gun, Makenkoseppo, TriBeam, Keinzan, and Solarflare. with Leibe, we managed to use Anti Magic in my ki attacks, and vice versa. And partial union mode was made, which lasts for about 30 secs, any more than that, my body can't handle. My power level now, has soared. Due to my training in Time Chamber now i can withstand, 10 times normal gravity.
Then we left for Hage Village, as i sensed, Yuno's power nearing the church, so i instantly locked on to his life force and teleported next to him, who was still, flying through air, seeing me on air, shocked him, so i grinned, the fast forwarded to the church. he followed me behind, but stopped me with a barrier, which i broke through, and instantly landed next to father orisi, who yelled at me, for making him die young! then yuno, came and sighed at our antics, then at night, we had our best meal, with our hopes and dreams, we went for bed, to wait for next day, As the sun rose, i began to workout, then meditated in air, with shadow boxing, floating, kids saw this, and brought the adults, as i was glowing, Father was worried but still proud of how far I've come. Then there was Yuno, the prodigy of Hage Village, he was so proud of him more than me. But now seeing me in my new state has him left dejected as he felt, Toren a stranger saw great potential in him, more than The man who raised him. But regardless of that, he's proud of us both now.
And then the time for Magic knights exam came, so we left, before that i summoned, a cloud of yellow color, I called him Nimbus, as it was a gift from my late,master, it surprised them all, but still we soared through the sky, with a grumpy Yuno, as i wouldn't let him ride the cloud, only those of pure hearts could ride it, that was what Toren said to me, which i told them, and each of the kids began to give it a try, but only a few could stand up on it, some couldn't, Even sister Lily and Father Fell through it, making us laugh with a dejected Father orisi, then Yuno tried to, and he did manage to stand on it, but I could've sworn he tried to use wind in his feet to stand on it, but denied it Bastard! but i still laughed regardless, now we're soaring through the air, then after a day's travel we reached the kingdom, seeing a person riding cloud must've been a peculiar sight, but they composed themselves as, it wasn't something new, as many people had peculiar magic, Then we entered an arena to register, and showed our Grimoires, which had gapes from the surrounding lots, as one was a 4 leaf clover, and the other was dirty, but ominous, we entered the arena, Many contestants like us were there, a few who had Anti-Magic Birds on them, Those usually peck on those with low magic capacity, but soon, A whole lot began to peck on me, and no bird was on Yuno, to this the bastard smirked at me. And in the moment, i bumped into a strong wall of some kind and released my aura, that scared the birds away, as the laughter died down, my instincts kicked in, and i dodged a hand that tried to grab me, and on instinct, i punched the air, creating shock waves, that pushed whoever tried to grab me take a few steps back. And on instinct i felt, a powerful presence, before he could unleash his full power, we were both stopped by, a guy with portal, and i managed to see the guy, that tried to take my head off, it was a muscular guy, a few inches taller than me, he was captain of the Black Bulls, Yami Sukehiro. But he was a monster, the pressure I could sense from him was great. A bit powerful than me, yes, but i can still take him on.
Then he saw me, and sensed my ki, as we both left, Yuno scolded me, for my reckless behaviour. Then the exams commenced, First one was simple to fly in a broom, as Captain of the Golden Dawn, gave us each a broom to fly on, but I knew better than that, as everyone, took one, I just stood there, and i asked them , if I can fly with something else other than a broom, they said, I could, but it should be of my own ability. This put a damper on my plan, then i sighed and put nimbus away, seeing me, like this, Sekkeh a opponent cheered me a bit, but his feelings said otherwise, but i didn't mind, then i began to float, until I soared high enough and smirked at everyone present, Everyone could feel something was off, as i didn't use magic to fly, and only the captains could feel this. Then came the Development test, in which we were supposed mold magic, into anything we please, and some made shapes, materials, and for me, I made a Energy construct of sword and Sheild. it was amusing that's all. Then, it was time for the actual combat, as everyone selected their opponents, I was left with Sekke as he approached me, with his intentions well out, as he simply thought, all i did was with some tricks. But To show him up, I stood there till our time came, as everyone else's bout went about. I did my part, i released my aura, just then after Leibe's nagging, I decided to use Anti-Magic, and show off, as I took out my long broad Sword, this is the first time since I've taken the sword out, and still no one could sense magic coming off of it, except an ominous feeling of something was about to happen. Then as Sekke, prepared his attack, as did i, I pushed forth an ki enhanced Anti-Magic slash that shattered his bronze attack, and knocked him unconscious. Everyone gapes at this, most were shocked, some intrigued, and one individual was keen and Curious. Then, time came for selection, as one by one those who wanted the candidates for their squad the respective captains raised their hands, and the participants decided their squad. When it came to Yuno everyone raised their hands. As he defeated his opponent with a single move like me. And he chose The Golden Dawn. Then when it came to me, no one rose their hand, I was actually disappointed, as even Sekke was selected, but i was being held upon as i was an unknown, as they couldn't sense my powers, that made them all wary and skeptical. Then just as i was about walk off, i heard a movement, it was from, Yami, the captain of the Black Bulls, he laughed at my predicament, and said, its exactly how you would expect these idiots to react! you use unknown energy as your source which f power, and that sword of yours with grimoire was ominous and mystical, people here will be wary of it indeed of the unknown, I have my suspicions, but I have to confirm it, as he said this he jumped at me and launched his katana at me, to which i did nothing and just stood there, he stopped and asked me why i didn't defend myself, I told him that I just searched for your feelings, through your ki, you were going to test my reaction, and didn't actually wanted to hurt me, So I stood still. He smirked and laughed, then this time it was serious, so he cloaked his sword in darkness and aimed at me, that i parried with the mix Anti-Magic ki Blade and managed to push him off, then I used my slashes to react to his every movements, and parried blow for blow. Then he halted his movements and sheathed his blade, saying he has seen all he wanted to see, and Explained to the dumbfounded Captains, and other participants, that what I was using My Own Ki(Life Energy) along with Anti-Magic as the basis for the feats I did, and they should be idiots for letting such an valuable Knight go, as now he has taken the me to his squad, this even startled me, but i smiled and accepted his offer. As after, several goodbyes, and many other things like beating the crap out of Sekke for trying to poison me, courtesy of Yuno. Then we left for The Black Bulls Base with Finral's portal.
