Narrator: The Clover Kingdom... In this place where the be all end all is magic, there is one boy who can't use it. His name is Asta. His strength, desire, guts and overwhelming determination to best his childhood friends and rivals helped him become a Magic Knight. And no matter how many times he would wind up injured, Asta's relentless nature and motivation due to being alongside his brother in arms, he continues to aim straight for the top. Rich or poor, royalty or commoner, Asta himself believes anyone in this world can shine so long as they put in the hard work!

An image of Tyrus and Yuno in their Spirit Dives with their backs turned appears.

His mission has just been to prove that statement true.... AND TO BECOME THE WIZARD KING!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Another day in the Clover Kingdom.... peaceful as it could be.... wind had been whipping the grass all sorts of directions, the gophers had basked in the sunlight.... until a sky-shattering scream sent them running!

Noelle: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Tyrus: NOELLE, SLOW DOWN!

Asta: WE'RE GONNA DIE!

Noelle: THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL ANY BETTER ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING ASTA!

Noelle Silva had been in the midst of an impromptu broom-flying lesson with her boyfriend Tyrus Hail and dear friend whether she cared to admit it or not in Asta but the lesson was.... trying at best for the First Class Intermediate Magic Knight and her Fifth Class Senior Magic Knight significant other.

Secre: You must calm down, Noelle! Be one with the broom!

Noelle: I'M TRYING!

Tyrus: AHHHHHH!

He abruptly grabs a hold of her waist with Asta doing the same to him to they could stabilize themselves.

Asta: HELP ME!

Tyrus: HELP YOU?! BRO HOW ABOUT HELP ME, THIS IS THE LITERAL DEFINITION OF CRASHING OUT!

Noelle: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, TYRUS?!

Tyrus: I'M HOLDING ONTO MY GIRLFRIEND'S WAIST SO I DON'T FUCKING FALL OFF! WHY EVEN ASK THAT?!

Noelle: Normally I wouldn't mind that but keep your paws to yourself SO I CAN CONCENTRATE!

In her embarrassment she means to clobber him with her elbow but he has enough reaction time to duck as she inadvertently hits Asta square in his nose.

Asta: OW, WHY NOELLE!

Noelle: THAT WASN'T MEANT FOR YOU, STUPIDSTA!

Secre: Guys! TREE INCOMING!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Tyrus: UP, NOELLE, UP FOR THE MOTHER OF GOD!

She quickly whips the broom upwards and the sudden sharpness of the incline sends Asta flying overhead and back down on the brush of the broom!

Tyrus: ASTA! STOP SHAKING MAN, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE HER CRASH!

Asta: I SWEAR I'M NOT DOING THIS ON PURPOSE, TY! BUT I'M PRETTY SURE NOELLE HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! WHICH IS WHY I SAID I'D RATHER RUN ALL THE WAY TO HAGE VILLAGE AND JUST MEET YOU GUYS THERE!

Tyrus: OH YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT NOELLE! You were so adamant that you wanted to join us in going to Hage Village but you were all like "Noooo.... I can fly you there, I mean I guess I can take you both there if you beg me!" KNOWING DAMN WELL I SHOULD BE THE ONE FLYING! AND THEN YOU SAID "No save your mana Tyrus, I have total control over my broom and I can prove I'm capable of flying my boyfriend and my other close friend to their native homeland!" I CALL BULLSHIT BABE!

Noelle: I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEE YOU EVEN ATTEMPT TO DO THAT, BLOCKHEAD! HOW MANY DAYS WOULD IT HAVE TAKEN YOU!?

Tyrus: At least a day and a half, if not two! That's how long it took us to get from Hage to the Royal Capital!

Noelle: AND YOU STILL WANT COMPLAIN, BE GRATEFUL I WAS NICE ENOUGH TO OFFER YOU TWO A RIDE!

Tyrus: I'M PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF RIDING MY OWN BROOM, NOELLE!

Asta: AND IF I MEANS I CAN RIDE AT THE COST OF MY LIFE, NO THANK YOU! THAT'S A HORRIBLE BARGAIN!

Secre flies off of Asta's head.

Secre: I'm going on ahead, I'll see you three there!

Asta: WAIT NERO, TAKE ME WITH YOU!

Secre: Nope. Hard pass.

Tyrus: YOU. HAVE TO, OW! CONTROL YOUR MANA, NOELLE!

She tries and immediately succeeds temporarily, gaining some sense of normality.

Noelle: There, you see Asta and Tyrus? What I did tell you before, nothing to it! I'm in total control of my magic and everything worked out for the better as I suspected it would.

Tyrus: Considering I'm still spitting out acorns, Noelle, no... no it's not better!

Asta: Aw.... man... Tyrus would've been fine with Noelle.... but why didn't I just ask Finral to make a portal for me? Not only did I almost die but I feel like a third wheel.

Noelle: Oh wow! Looks like we're almost there! I can actually see the Demon Head from here.

Asta: Oh... yeah.

Tyrus: Man... even as a long lost noble.... there's too many good memories growing up in Hage.

Noelle: At least show some gratitude, you two! Not often you get flown by royalty!

Tyrus: I could've flown myself or on Kuraokami, Noelle. But fine, thank you.

They look ahead to see the Skull only to feel a massive mana or in Asta's case ki signature race past them.

Asta: YUNO!

Tyrus: THE SNEAKY BASTARD! WHOA, CHILL ASTA!

Noelle: HEY, DON'T JUST DO THAT, I'M STILL FLYING STUPIDSTA!

Asta whips himself off of the broom landing with force into the trees before he lands on his feet, surprising the fact he didn't shatter any bones on his descent.

Asta: YUNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!

Tyrus: Sorry Noelle, but someone has to make sure they don't kill one another. Be careful getting to the Village!

He jumps off the broom before quickly taking off after Asta and Yuno, feeling the air needle against his skin.

Noelle: Tyrus, wait!

Bell: There's one meathead, where's the other?

Yuno: Yep... Only Asta could give new meaning to that word and remain unharmed.

Asta: Are you guys heading over to visit Hage Village as well?!

Yuno: Yes, I am. Captain Vangeance actually gave me permission to take the day off.

Tyrus: Hey you two idiots, hope you didn't forget about me!

Yuno: Of course not.

Asta: THEN IT'S SETTLED, YOU GUYS! LET'S MAKE IT A CONTEST!

Bell was skeptical at the loudmouth's proposal.

Bell: What type of contest?

Asta: THE THREE OF US ARE GOIN' TO RACE TO HAGE VILLAGE AND SEE WHO GETS TO THE CHURCH FIRST!

Tyrus: I'm pretty sure I beat you two the last time we raced! Fine, what's another ass kicking for Asta and Yuno!

Yuno: You're letting your rank over us go to your head, Tyrus.

Tyrus: Someone's gotta remind you whose your better! My new rank isn't for show, Yuno!

Asta: LESS TALKIN', MORE RACIN' HAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Tyrus: YEAH, COME LOSE TO LITTLE BRO!

They take off, Asta on ground and Tyrus in the air but neither of the two gaining a massive amount of distance on the other.

Bell: A race, how immature can you be?! You're not a couple of children, right Yuno?

Yuno: They're both tremendous idiots. But even so.... I have to fulfill my obligations as a sibling regardless.

Secre in the meanwhile, had grabbed a lone blue lilly while heading for the old Licht Demon Skull.

Farmer: We're lucky that the damage wasn't as bad or riddled in this area.

Farmer #2: No kiddin' the fighting was so fierce, I thought the crops wouldn't survive. For it to be December and this nice of Mother Nature, things most definitely could've been a lot worse.

The first farmer conjures a water ball before chucking into the air, exploding it at the seams and covering the entire open garden space.

Asta: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Tyrus: GOTTA DO A LOT BETTER THAN THAT, ASTA!

Farmer #2: What in the world was that just now?

Asta: EAT MY DUST TYRUS!

Yuno: Took you two long enough!

Asta: What the? NOOOOOO!

Tyrus: AHHH A WORTHY ADVERSARY, FINALLY YUNO, OUR RACE SHALL BE LEGENDARY!

Asta soon catches up with the Ice and Wind mages who are both standing on the roof to the church.

Asta: Ha... ha...

Yuno: Looks like I win your little contest, Asta.

Tyrus: Bullshit we definitely tied, Yuno!

Bell: You did not tie Yuno! Shut up!

Kuraokami: He most certainly bested the wind mage, Sylph! YOU SHUT UP!

Asta: Ah, please you both barely scraped by.

Tyrus: Which one of us is panting, Asta? Yuno and I barely broke a sweat here!

Yuno: And I still won?

Tyrus: Hmmm... I wonder if a drop this far would break your legs Yuno.

Bell: Aww... Yuno's kind of cute when he's acting so childish! You're so cute when you get competitive!

She softly pokes his face as he turns it away from her but the Wind Spirit continues to poke and prod her master.

Bell: And you being embarrassed makes you all the more handsome!

Father Orsi: Asta?! Tyrus?! Yuno?!

The Priest opens the door with excitement, inquiring where his adopted sons were at.

Asta: Hey, long time no see, Old Bones!

Tyrus: Hey, Father Orsi. It's been a while, hasn't it?

Yuno: How are you?

Father Orsi: AHHHHH! MY BOYS, I DON'T BELIEVE IT! Just look at the three of you! You're so big and tall!

Yuno: Come on Father, we haven't been gone that long.

Father Orsi: Ah. Yes as perceptive as ever, Yuno. How silly of me to get so wound up.

Tyrus: It's all right. Don't worry.

Asta: How are you feeling ever since that elf attacked you and the rest of the village?

Father Orsi: Yes... I'm one hundred percent recovered and it's all thanks to the three of you.

Tyrus: No, no. It was all Asta, thanks to that Demon-Destroyer sword that you're still here with us. This little shrimp deserves the credit more than anyone.

Father Orsi: Oh speaking of Asta! I actually saw you in the newspaper a number of weeks ago!

Asta gulps but the priest's look wasn't of anger but concern.

Asta: Oh! Yeah listen, I can explain that. You see Father-

Yuno: That article wasn't correct at all.

Tyrus: Yes nothing in it was true, it was nothing but vicious lies.

Asta: Guys-

Yuno: Asta isn't being controlled by a devil at all.

Tyrus: How do we put this? While he's not being controlled by one, he's doing everything in his soul and power he can muster to fight and defeat devils. The whole truth and nothing but it.

Orsi takes in their defense of Asta before he nods grimly. He knew that they had to play everything closely to the vest, given that the man who tried executing Asta in Damnatio Kira, the chairman of the Magic Parliament would go as far to executing their loved ones to get the truth and justice.

Father Orsi: I understand. As a matter of fact, when I saw the article first come out, no one here actually believed the nonsense the paper was spouting. I mean you saved all of our lives when the elves attacked us. These people here in Hage, they know you. And they all know that the three of you saved our village from total destruction.

He thinks back to the Hage Trio of Hope's sudden arrival back to the village at the height of the elves' reincarnation before he brings them in for another hug.

Father Orsi: Trust me as a matter of fact. We couldn't be more proud of you guys.

Asta: Really, thank you!

Tyrus: That means a lot coming from you, Father Orsi. Seriously.

Yuno: Indeed.

Father Orsi: You want to know what I did with that paper? I put it up in a nice frame!

Asta: WHY THOUGH?!

Tyrus: PFT.... BAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, DAMN AS IF I THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T LOOK ANY GOOFIER, ASTA! AHAHAHAHAHA, OH MY RIBS!

Father Orsi: Would you mind doing me an honor and signing it?

Asta: COME ON!

Yuno: Hey, where are all the kids at?

Tyrus comes down off his laughing fit, wiping his tears as he realizes Recca hasn't come in and swarmed him.

Tyrus: Hey, Yuno's right. Normally they'd come in and overwhelm us but I don't hear Nash being snarky or Aruru and Hollo being the most adorable kids on the planet. Where'd they go?

Father Orsi looks at the trio before falling to his knees.

Father Orsi: They're gone.

Tyrus: Gone? What do you mean gone?

Yuno: Did something happen to them?

Asta: Where can we find them?

Father Orsi: Asta, Tyrus, Yuno... those dear children are... every single one of them has left!

Asta: Wait a school?

The four men had been walking through the patches of crops as Father Orsi led the way.

Tyrus: Where'd you guys even get the time to build a school? Not that I'm not for the kids spending time and getting an education but it's only been a few weeks since everything died down.

Father Orsi: That's right we finally got that magic school that all the kids wanted here in Hage. I can't believe all this time it's finally opened. What a blessing, especially considering the many ordeals and adversities we had to go through all because the Capital continues to ignore our poor village.

He wipes the brimming tears with his sleeve while looking at the trio of Magic Knights with beaming pride.

Father Orsi: We were so inspired when you three joined the Magic Knights ranks that with a bit unity and hard work, we all accomplished something wonderful. Sister Lily herself is an instructor there, so she's busy to say the least.

Asta: WOOOWWW, THOSE KIDS ARE SUPER LUCKY TO LEARN FROM HER!

Father Orsi: I always find myself over there teaching a few lessons every so often.

Farmer #3: Hey, Asta! Tyrus, Yuno! Good to see you guys!

Farmer #4: Thanks for saving the village again!

Asta: No problem!

Father Orsi: It's just over this hill, we actually didn't build a new building. But rather we just actually repurposed our old pop-potato storage facility!

Tyrus: Ha! Remember the times we used to play hide-and-go-seek in that building you guys?

Yuno: I don't actually remember any of that.

Asta: Of course we did, we always went looking for you and you'd hide until it got dark then you'd start crying because Ty and I couldn't find you at all. How could you forget?

Yuno: Never happened.

Tyrus: It so did! We all know you used to be the biggest crybaby on Earth!

Secre had taken her separation from Noelle, Asta and Tyrus as a means to get back to Licht's Demon Skull. After a short trip which saw her collect her aforementioned flower, she quickly morphed back into her human state grabbing her sense of a memorial for Lumiere and Licht. She stood on top of where his statue, which actually turned out to be his real human body has faint remains of his existence. She delicately sets the flowers down all the meanwhile touching a stone slab.

Secre: My prince.

Nash: 197! 198! 199! 200! 201! 202! 203!

Orsi, Asta, Tyrus and Yuno finally stop at the entrance just as the door opens up revealing Recca.

Recca: Oh my! Look who's finally made it! You guys!

Tyrus: Hey Recca!

Aruru: Yay, welcome home!

Hollo: Home!

Asta: Thanks you guys, we're super glad to be back!

Tyrus: How's everything going on your end of things. You kids staying out of trouble?

Some kids peer out the window to find their saviors in their fellow Forsaken Realm natives in the flesh.

Parum: Oh, wow!

Lammy: Is that them?!

Some more kids pour out of the building and immediately become star-struck as they crowd Asta, Tyrus and Yuno.

Tyrus: Hey, hey! How's everyone doing?

Asta: Easy everyone!

Parum: Yay! They really came home!

Tyrus: Well of course, it's always nice coming back to the ol' stomping grounds every once and a while. Be reminded what and who we're fighting for. That's you guys.

Recca: Asta, have you grown up at all since we last saw you guys? You're still short.

Asta: Of course I have, not everyone can be as tall as Ty or Yuno!

Recca: But obviously they're still as cool as ever! Congrats on being a Senior Magic Knight, Tyrus!

Tyrus: Thanks, Recs.... it still don't feel right but I'm adjusting to the rank. And yes it's true Asta himself got promoted, you're lookin' at a bonafide Intermediate Magic Knight, Third Class over there!

Kuraokami: Come now, Young Master. You earned your promotion fair and square.

Bell: And Yuno isn't just cool, he's also extremely cute!

Parum: OH WOW, IT'S SOME SORT OF TALKING DRAGON AND DOLL!

Lammy: They're not dolls silly, those are the Ice and Wind Spirits!

Bell: It's Bell to you, young ladies. I'd really appreciate if you didn't treat my compatriot and I as toys this time around so do be careful- AH?!

Kuraokami: Unhand me, young child!

Parum and Lammy grab the dragon and fairy, pretending they were dolls.

Parum: They brought a dragon and doll to play with us, yay!

Lammy: Wow, the dragon is so cool, lemme hold him please!

Tyrus: I don't see why not, he's a friendly dragon. Aren't you Kami?

Kuraokami: The levels of embarrassment and rage I have towards you are immeasurable, Young Master Tyrus!

The girls run off with Bell and Kami just as a familiar almost maternal voice registers in the boys' heads.

Sister Lily: Asta. Tyrus. Yuno.

Tyrus: Hey there, Sister.

The sister was in disbelief. It had only been six weeks since the whole elves attack when the 26 year-old nun had last seen them save the village before they had to understandably leave, save the rest of the Clover Kingdom and its citizens. The tears were aplenty but she stopped herself from full on crying.

Sister Lily: All three of you are safe.... Oh this makes me so happy!

Yuno: And we're glad you're all right too, Sister.

Asta: Sister Lily....

He begins to walk over towards her with Tyrus and Yuno whispering to one another.

Tyrus: 650 yul says he asks her to marry her and she unleashes her water magic.

Yuno: You're a fool... you should've doubled that. I say it's her Holy Fist of Love.

Asta meets her in the middle before getting down on one knee.

Asta: WILL YOU PLEAAAASSSSSSEEEEE MARRY ME?!

And his proposal echoed throughout Hage.

Farmer: Ha... good to see old habits don't die hard!

Farmer: Yeah, when Asta used to live back in the church that would always be his first question to Lily. Not even a good morning or how are you doing. Marriage proposals were always at the forefront of his mind.

Noelle: Well now, I think I'm finally to get a hang of this broom flying technique. It doesn't help that Tyrus quite literally abandoned me. Curse his ever passionate rivalry with Asta and Yuno.

WILL YOU PLEAAAASSSSSSEEEEE MARRY ME?!

Mistaking for hearing her boyfriend in Tyrus when in reality it was Asta proposing to Sister Lily, the Silva royal quickly turned frantic.

Noelle: GAHHHHH! TYRUS IS P-P-PROPOSING TO ME?! COME ON YOU IDIOTIC SWEETHEART, YOU CAN'T JUST UP AND SPRING SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON ME ESPECIALLY OUT OF NOWHERE! GYAHHHHHHHHHH!

BOOOOOOM!

After a dosage of Holy Fist of Love drowned Asta.... who seemingly enjoyed it.

Asta: YEP! IT'S JUST AS HOW I REMEMBER!

Tyrus: Yeah.... he's most definitely a masochist. No doubting it anymore.

Sister Lily: Oh my! Old habit, I'm so sorry Asta!

She looks up when she hears Noelle's screams as she makes her way down onto Tyrus...... who hilariously spawned a sign out of nowhere.

Tyrus: Help.... Me.....

Before a thunderous collision ensues as boyfriend and girlfriend made a sizeable dirt crater.

BOOOOOOOM!

Tyrus: GAHHHHHHHHAAAAA! OWWWW.....

Noelle: ACHOO! Pft! Pft! YOU IDIOT, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, WHY DIDN'T YOU GET OUT OF THE WAY?! HOW DARE YOU GET IN THE WAY OF MY PERFECT BROOM RIDING!?

Tyrus shakes the cobwebs loose as he too coughs up some grass, as if he were a free roaming steer.

Tyrus: Kinda hard to when you're coming at me with reckless abandon, Noelle. And as far I'm concerned, your lesson was finished the second I gave chase to Asta and Yuno.

Noelle: As for your.... p-p-proposal.... that was way too forward and sudden. I'm not sure how I can respond to that.

Tyrus: Proposal.... you feelin' all right, Silva? I mean we only started dating a whole month and a half ago, why would.... OH.... darling, that wasn't me.

Noelle: Wait it wasn't?

Tyrus: No. Asta's usual shenanigans. Remember that kind-hearted, beautiful nun I told ya about several months ago? She's behind you.

Father Orsi: Hello there young lady. Judging by the robe you're wearing, you must be one of Asta and Tyrus's cohorts from the Black Bulls.

Noelle: Yes, Sir.

Tyrus: Yup. Father Orsi, Sister Lily. Meet Noelle. Noelle, Father Orsi Orfai and Sister Lily Aquaria.

Sister Lily: Ah, so you're the famous Noelle that Asta and Tyrus were talking about! We all appreciate you keeping a close eye on the both of them.

Tyrus: Jeez, you guys make it sound like we're reckless or something.

Sister Lily: Asta and Tyrus send letters about their adventures with you and the rest of the Black Bulls. Your name comes up a bunch in Tyrus's. It appears you two have gotten really close, as if you trust each other.

Noelle: Wait letters, is that true you guys? This is a most shocking surprise. Especially from Tyrus... what could he be possibly telling them about I, the vaunted Noelle Silva? Wait... you don't think-

She gains a weird prompt playing in her head about her boyfriend while he was writing letter to the kids, Sister Lily and Father Orsi.

Tyrus: I met this really cool and special lady I got my heart set on Sister and Father.... Her name is.... Noelle.

SPLOOOOOSSHHHHHH!

Asta: NOELLE, CALM DOWN!

Noelle: WHAT THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN SAYING ABOUT ME, TYRUS!?

Tyrus: NOTHING SLANDEROUS, I CAN ASSURE YOU! I ONLY WRITE ABOUT YOU IN THE MOST POSITIVE AND HONEST OF WAYS, NOELLE!

Sister Lily: It's nothing bad, Miss Noelle. He often talks about how you motivate him and Asta to get stronger every day and times where you've inspired him by being your authentic self!

Secre takes in the chaos, hiding behind a tree.

Secre: What are they arguing about now?

Father Orsi: Excuse me Miss, but are you also one of Asta and Tyrus's squadmates from the Black Bulls?

Asta: OH YEAH! I almost forgot you were with us. Come on Nero, don't be shy!

Tyrus: Nero, one of our newest squad members. She's quirky, sassy but really does mean well.

Father Orsi: A pleasure to meet you, Nero.

Sister Lily: We'll hope you continue to look after Asta and Tyrus for us.

She emerges from the tree, and looks both priest and nun in the eyes.

Secre: I shall do my best.

Recca: OH MY... GOD! TYRUS, YOU DO HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!

Aruru: AND SHE'S SUPER PRETTY!

Recca and Aruru emerge from the group of kids and witness Noelle and her older foster brother holding hands and their comments unintentionally force Noelle into a blushing frenzy.

Tyrus: I mean, it's kinda obvious. I wouldn't just be holding someone's hand and they didn't mean the world to me. I did say my relationship status was above your pay grade, Recs.

Noelle: I- you really mean that?

Tyrus: Well, yeah. I'll tell ya more later if we get some alone time.

Sister Lily: Oh right, it almost slipped my mind but now that the three of you are actually here, I had a small favor to ask of you boys, if it isn't too much a bother.

Tyrus: Of course not, Sister. You could never be a bother for us.

Yuno: Mhm. Name it.

Asta: WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED! TELL US WHAT IT IS!

In a classroom full of kids, super charged up now that their heroes were in the building, with a ragged Bell and Kuraokami in the twin sisters of Parum and Lammy hands. Asta, Tyrus and Yuno stand in front of the classroom when they remembered their assigned task.

Sister Lily: Well... it would really mean lot to me if you three along with your friends could work as teachers at the magic school for the day.

Tyrus: Teachers? You mean like helping kids hone their magic and mana type of a teacher?

Asta: More importantly, all three of Ty, Yuno and I?

Yuno: I don't know.....

Sister Lily: Mhm. These kids, they all look up to you as everyone else in the Clover Kingdom. They know that if three Magic Knights as powerful as you boys can sprout of the Forsaken Realm. Then they can dream big. So I believe it would be an amazing memory for all of them if they received a lesson from actual Magic Knights.

Asta: This.... is...

Tyrus: Surreal, difficult? Like I don't what topic to venture into first!

Father Orsi gauges from the door at his three eldest foster sons, feeling the water works about come again.

Father Orsi: They've grown up so fast..... where has the time gone? It just warms my heart!

Aruru: Teacher Asta, YAY!

Lammy: Teacher Yuno!

Parum: Teacher Tyrus!

Noelle and Secre look in neutrality, wondering how their squadmates and Yuno were about to tackle this challenge.

Asta: Teacher? ALL RIGHT, WATCH AND LEARN KIDS! I'M GOING TO TEACH YOU GUYS AND GALS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO BE AWESOME MAGIC KNIGHTS ONE DAY!

He carefully tosses his robe, shirt and under-jacket revealing his shredded physique.

Tyrus: Really, man?

Asta: STEP ONE, MAGIC EQUALS MUSCLES!

OOOOOHHHHH!

Yuno: I'm afraid I don't follow you, Asta.

Tyrus: Same, and I'm about as jacked as he is.

Asta: Since you guys are little kids right now, you don't have much mana yet!

Tyrus: And you have none, Big Bro.

Asta: BUT THERE IS A WAY YOU CAN MAKE UP FOR IT! AND THAT'S.... RIGHT YOU GUESSED WITH MUSCLES, KIDDIES! YOU GOTTA TRAIN REALLY HARD! Starting.... RIGHT NOW, LET'S RUN SOME LAPS! RAHHHHHHHHHHH!

Tyrus: That's Asta for ya. Defiant and energetic to the very end.

Noelle: Interesting teaching style.

Suddenly the trio of Parum, Lammy and Aruru confront Tyrus and Yuno.

Girls: Teacher Tyrus! Teacher Yuno!

Sister Lily: While Asta's busy with them, could you two look after the girls and be their instructor, Tyrus and Yuno?

Tyrus: Sure, I don't see why not. How hard could this be, right Yuno?

Yuno: I don't know about this.

Sister Lily: It's all right, you don't have to place much stock in specific things, you could teach them how maintain control of their magic as a starter. Even playing with them for just a while would be good enough.

Yuno: So we're babysitting?

Sister Lily: Yes. I'm sure the girls will observe or learn a thing or two just by watching you guys.

Tyrus: I guess we can manage that. Let's do it.

Parum: Teacher Tyrus, Teacher Yuno! I wanna play house!

Tyrus: I'm sorry.... did you say house?

Yuno: That sounds lovely...... You sure you're not regretting it now?

Tyrus looks at him with a look that said "If I wasn't then.... I am for sure regretting it currently."

The girls take the time to prepare house while against their wills, Noelle, Tyrus, Secre and Yuno joining with the former wearing a bib, Secre a fake mustache, Yuno.... well Yuno. And Tyrus....

Tyrus: HEY, WHY AM I THE DOG- I mean....

He got the honor of being the family pet sporting dog ears and tail.... such as the duty for a Senior Magic Knight.

Tyrus: Bark. Bark. Woof! Thank God that Bell and Kami are out cold.

Noelle: He's.... SO CUTE, AHHHH MY HEART! But why am I the baby, I am royalty. I don't care if I'm the youngest in the Silva bloodline!

Parum: AWWW, Noelle! You're the cutest baby ever!

Noelle: You really think so? I mean if it's for the kids, I might as well commit myself. All right, baby time. Here goes nothing, please look away Tyrus. WAHHHH! WAHHH!

Lammy: And Tyrus is the most adorable puppy!

Tyrus: Heh... maybe in a different life I was. Guess we'll never- I mean... Woof! Woof!

Aruru: See? I knew you two could do it!

Tyrus: If it makes ya smile, kid. Then I'll go all out.

Lammy: Mama, it's your job to get baby to stop crying!

Yuno: Me?

Tyrus: Duh, Yuno. If I'm the family dog, Noelle's the baby and Nero's the dad... what does that make you?

Yuno: Well... I guess I could give it a try. Um... there... there, Noelle.

Aruru: That's not how you do it, silly Yuno! You're supposed to be nicer to her!

Yuno: Be nicer to her?

Sister Lily: Oh Yuno?

Yuno turned around and got the coldest feeling down his shoulder.

Yuno: Sister?

Sister Lily: Remember what I said. The children learn by watching and observing you. So I'm going to have to ask you take this seriously, okay Yuno?

The sudden bass in her voice leaves no argument as he swallows rigidly.

Yuno: I know I can do it. Forgive me Tyrus and Noelle. God knows I don't want to do this either, but I don't wish to incur the wrath of Sister Lily.

He plasters on his game face and let's just say.... Bell was traumatized by what she saw between her master and the Black Bull female.

Yuno: There, there, little one. Mommy's got you! There's no need to cry, ah I know you must be hungry, is that it? Let me give you some milk, there you go!

Noelle: Mhm...... mmmm.

Yuno: Ahaha, aww is it good? Go on, have some more, little baby. Oh my goodness Parum, you got ketchup all over your face! Little rascal you are! What am I ever going to do with you... I wonder just who you take after.

Tyrus: Bark! Bark!

Secre: I suppose it is time the dog go out to... relieve himself.

Father Orsi: Look at the two of them playing house with the children. Such sweet boys! Though it's hard to wonder what exactly the kids are going to gain from this.

Some time has since passed after the whole House debacle with Father Orsi leading the Magic Knights to a new place within the building.

Father Orsi: This right here is our "New Leaves" Class. Behind this door, are boys and girls who are hard at work to prepare for the day they receive their grimoires.

Asta: Oh right the awarding ceremony! Feels like since we had ours, huh?

Yuno: Not at all.

Tyrus: Definitely feels like a full circle moment, these kids are gonna be where we were at when we started our journey you two. Can't wait to see who Hage produces next.

A bright light shines through the hallway, revealing a melding of what appears to flame and water magic dancing ever so brilliantly.

Teacher: That's it you guys!

Teacher: You're killing it, nice work. Why don't you guys take a break, say maybe five minutes?

Asta: Wait, I know them!

Tyrus: Same.

Yuno: How could I ever forget?

The teachers happened to be the formerly stuck up nobles who were envious in the show of strength both Tyrus and Yuno during the awarding ceremony with Yuno gaining the Four-Leaf Grimoire and Tyrus who wound up with arguably the largest Three-Leaf Grimoire of the entire ceremony. Said nobles would attempt to attack them before Revchi stepped in and assaulted all four before Asta's appearance and the arrival of the Five-Leaf Grimoire.

Teacher: I'm so proud of you guys. Looks like all your studying is really paying off!

Teacher: But by no means does this mean to slack off, continue to train hard, understood?!

Elder Kids: Yes, Sir!

Recca: Understood!

The boys notice the sudden arrival Asta, Tyrus, Yuno in addition with Noelle, Secre and the Ice and Wind Spirit.

Teacher: Well, if it isn't Asta, Tyrus and Yuno!

Teacher: It's really great to see you guys again!

Elder Kids: Guys, we missed you!

Recca: Asta, Tyrus, Yuno!

Teacher: We never got the chance to do so, but we profusely apologize for how we conducted ourselves back on the day of the Awarding Ceremony. The truth is when we saw how great you three had become, we took that as a wake up call to turn over a new leaf. We work here as assistant teachers.

Asta: Wait, assistant teachers.

Yuno: Did you hit yours or something?

Tyrus: Or maybe you came in sick? It's all water under the bridge now, guys.

Suddenly Drouot appears.

Teacher: OH, Headmaster! You're here early!

Asta: Check it out! It's the old guy who gives out the grimoires every year!

Drouot: Hello, boys! It's very heartwarming to see you back in the village after all this time. I've heard about all the astounding accomplishments you achieved since leaving the Forsaken Realm. You've made us quite the proud bunch! The great things you have done have motivated the children to work even harder in their studies of magic and how to make theirs even stronger and they have you three to thank for that. That is why this school was opened!

Asta: We've really made a difference here, huh guys?

Tyrus: You could say that again. Makes me swell with pride the kids wanna follow our footsteps one day.

Drouot: Now then regarding the Grimoire Tower, it's home to a multitude of powerful grimoires each one awaiting the moment it's rewarded to its future master. But on that topic, no two tomes are ever alike. Each one varies in size and thickness. But you children can look to Asta, Tyrus and Yuno as shining examples. You are the only ones that'll be able to increase its power while also discovering the true potential of your magic! Think of the number of spells or the potency within the grimoire. With a bit of hard work, you can be anything you want in this world! You could even emulate these valiant and courageous heroes if you choose to walk that path.

Asta: Aw!

Tyrus: Talk that talk.

Drouot: My dream for this village is that for some of you boys and girls you will be able to follow in the footsteps of Asta, Tyrus and Yuno one day and grow up to become brave and strong Magic Knights like they have in their short time in the ranks. SO DON'T LET ME DOWN, PLEASE!

Elder Kids: OKAY!

Everyone claps for the wizard. Soon enough the sun sets on the Clover Kingdom and everyone walks back to the church with Asta carrying Hollo on his back and Tyrus doing the same with Aruru while both young kids slept heavily while the latter walked hand in hand with Noelle.

Sister Lily: I see. So you'll be leaving us first thing in the morning, then?

Tyrus: Yeah. I know it sucks honestly, but the life of a Magic Knight is a physically and mentally demanding job but it's a rewarding one too.

Father Orsi: Well in that case, how about we throw a massive party tonight to celebrate all of your accomplishments. All the pop-potatoes you can eat as well! I know that excites you three.

Asta: Yeah, for sure!

The Priest smiles warmly at Noelle and Secre.

Father Orsi: Miss Noelle, Miss Secre. I do hope you two had a good time visiting Hage Village and hope you can join us for the festivities.

Noelle: Sure, it'd be great to hear stories about Asta, Tyrus and Yuno growing up. I know these Pop-Potatoes are going to take all the moisture out of my mouth again!

Asta: Hang on is that Nash?

They see Nash who isn't terribly far away from the group but it appears to be the cynical kid of the foster family Nash with firewood strapped to his back.

Tyrus: I think you're right. Hey, Nash! What you're too good for us now, buddy?

Nash: Ah, guys- I um.... Oh it's just Asta and Tyrus.

Asta: Ah, don't give me that Nash.

Tyrus: Come on, you know you missed the three of us, Little Man. Hey so why weren't you at the Magic School earlier?

Asta: Yeah, did ya skip? Everyone else was there.

Nash: There... was something I had to do first.

Asta: And what was it and did you get it done, more importantly speaking?

Nash: How about you guys mind your business, yeah?

Tyrus: Sounds like you want a beatdown, yeah?

Nash: AH, stay away from me!

Tyrus: I'm not gonna hurt ya, just one noogie!

Asta: AND YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE PLAYING HOOKY TO BEGIN WITH!

Sister Lily: Don't worry, there haven't been any issues with Nash's attendance at all.

Yuno: Are you saying-

Father Orsi: Yes. We're actually pretending as if we don't know what Nash is up to in his spare time.

Sister Lily: I'm sure you can recall how much of an impact Asta was and still is to this day. He really admires him. After you three had left home, he said he wanted to be like Asta and join you guys in the Magic Knights one day.

Yuno: That actually makes sense for someone like Nash.

Secre thinks back to that moment in the day when she happened across Nash after paying her respects to Licht and Lumiere. In her bird form she witnessed Nash pretty much replicate Asta's workout from when he trained relentlessly day and night in the efforts of gaining more magic power. The words Asta, they resonated with him almost becoming like a mission statement for Nash in the process.

Secre: My prince.... please keep watching over them. This kingdom has a very bright future ahead of them.

Hearing on the arrival of Asta, Tyrus and Yuno. Many of their fellow Hage natives stopped by the church and offered pop-potatoes by the haul bag-full.

Villager: I thought they'd be starving so I brought some pop-potatoes over!

Villager: Here, take mines too Father!

Villager: They must be starving from that long trip they took to get here!

Father Orsi: I- uh... Thank you, everyone!

Villager: We wouldn't mind helping out, Father, I can peel that if you'd like!

Father Orsi: You're too kind!

The kids, Sister Lily, Secre and Noelle, in addition to the flyover assistance of the Ice and Wind Spirits were hard at work setting up for dinner.

Noelle: Good grief.... a royal from House Silva actually setting up dinner. More importantly where did Tyrus run off to? Scratch that, what the hell exactly did he write in those letters about me?

The answer to her significant other's whereabouts would be answered quickly as Tyrus was found staring at Demon Skull, the most significant landmark representative of the Forsaken Realm and just outside and just outside of the grimoire tower's entrance, his hair whipping to the left due to the wind's change of pace. He kept to himself for the most part, telling Noelle and the others he was just going for a walk before dinner.

Tyrus: What a beautiful sunset. Clover Kingdom never lacked for these.

Yuno: You come here to cry?

Tyrus: About how I reached a higher rank than you, Yuno? You've got jokes there, buddy. Last time I cried was when I got with Noelle, and that's something I'm proud of.

Asta: We were just wondering where you ran off to, you've been gone for like twenty minutes.

Tyrus: Has it been that long already? Damn. Sunset's got a way with playing with your perception of time, you guys. No but seriously, I'm just... happy that everything is shaking out the way we wanted it to.

Asta: So am I. Think about it. All of us were orphans but unlike you two, I was born without any magic. And to complicate things, Tyrus happened to be born into a noble family. And yet you never looked down on Yuno or I. I got made fun of all the time but then.

Drouot: Hello, boys! It's very heartwarming to see you back in the village after all this time. I've heard about all the Asta: "astounding accomplishments you achieved since leaving the Forsaken Realm and you've made us quite proud!" That felt good, Ty and Yuno. It really did!

Yuno: Well of course it did. Because the three of us really have accomplished some amazing things. We proved that with hard work and enough dedication, you can shatter any expectations placed on you and become anything you truly want in this world. But even then, our story hasn't reached its final chapter yet.

Tyrus: Yeah. If anything we're in the meat and potatoes so to speak, the bulk of it. Only the beginning of a beautiful song Asta and Yuno.

Asta helps Tyrus which he graciously accepts.

Asta: Yeah. If we're really about to go up against the entire Spade Kingdom?

Yuno: And the devils.

Tyrus: Then we need invest these next six months into only the most grueling training, that'll test us physically, mentally and spiritually but in the end, would be the greatest reward we could ever receive. Only way we can ensure that the Clover and Heart Kingdoms survive is if we get stronger, even moreso than what we are now.

Asta: Then let's protect everyone!

Yuno: Keep charging forward.

Tyrus: And end this threat once and for all!

Their capes whip where their hair used to as Asta asks the burning question.

Asta: You guys think we're ready for this, Ty? Yuno?

Yuno: I know I am.

Tyrus: And even if we can't beat these devils on our own, we got a whole squad full of capable and ready Magic Knights ready to back us up and dive into the maws of hell feet first.

Yuno: I'll be better than the two of you can even comprehend.

Tyrus: Words are cheap, I want to see you bring it on the battlefield, Yuno!

Asta offers his fist to Tyrus and Yuno, who both chuckle.

Asta: Well for now, I say the three of us are about equal.

Tyrus: You wish, Asta. You wish. You both aren't even on the level below me.

Yuno: Ha. Whatever helps you sleep at night, Tyrus.

They bump fists, reinforcing their mission statement and rivarly, with their purpose and vigor as Magic Knights fully renewed. After dinner had passed and Nash, Recca, Aruru, Hollo, Asta and Yuno had gone to sleep, Tyrus had been sitting on the roof of the church, staring at the nighttime darkness of sky with the vast array of stars when he hears the creaking of a ladder from the bell tower.

Tyrus: Asta, Yuno?

Noelle: Now what makes you think I have the perfect amount of loudness or cockiness to be either one of them?

Tyrus: Oh, hey sweetheart. Thought you'd be sleeping by now.

Noelle: I was worried about you, when Asta came down with Yuno but you hadn't showed up with them. I knew something was wrong.

She sits next to him and witnesses the stars twinkling above them.

Noelle: I have to apologize for earlier when I sprayed you with water when the Sister talked about you and Asta writing letters about myself and the Black Bulls.

Tyrus: It's all right, Noelle. I know how awkward you can be, in fact I kinda realize how weird it would sound to you if a guy you met not even a month into being a Magic Knight was writing about you back to his "family" back home. Your reaction was somewhat justified.

Noelle: About that... how are things with your mother and Selene? I don't think you've talked to them since we made the journey to your childhood home.

Tyrus: There.... we're working things out. I mean it HAS been what, fifteen years since she made that difficult choice that I wish she didn't have to. Yet at the same time, I'm glad she did. I wouldn't had met Asta or Yuno nor would my life had turned out the way it did. As for Selene, we're talking and it's shocking to say but we actually have a lot more in common outside of our birthday. There's the fact she loves sunsets like I do, has an affinity of collecting magic weapons that can enhance her mana and her favorite breakfast food happens to be blueberry waffles like yours truly. And if it that weren't enough? She actually looks up to her older twin brother and wants to get stronger not just to rival my strength but to bring House Hail back to the prominence it once had when our parents were leading it.

Noelle: Well, if you're anything to go by and she has half the relentless mock-up or possesses that same "I'd rather die" attitude you do? She'll be one of the best Magic Knights this generation has to offer.

Tyrus: Yeah... I'm sorry.

Noelle: What could you be sorry for?

Tyrus: Talking about them... seeing Asta, Yuno and I's extended family. I keep forgetting you never had the best relationship with Nebra, Solid or even Nozel for that matter even if his reasons now we know were somehow understandable. You never grew up without your mother, and here I discover mines is actually alive. I feel selfish as all hell given what you've gone through, Noelle.

Noelle: Hey, no. You don't get to do that. Look at me.

Tyrus looks at her, her irises shining clearly due to nighttime illumination, her nails dancing on his cheeks.

Noelle: Tyrus, don't apologize for things way out of our control. Megicula is the lone reason your father was killed and my mother died because of her curse, forced your mother to make the difficult decision to abandon you and Selene by splitting you up between the Common and Forsaken Realms. We have a chance to make things right, avenge our fallen parents and save another kingdom as well as our own home in the process.

Tyrus: You're right.... I'm just nervous about everything that we're about to face. These next six months-

Noelle: Are crucial to determining the fate of our lives and everyone we ever cared about?

Tyrus: Exactly. And I can't live in a world where I fail the people closest to me. Asta, Yuno, the kids, Father Orsi, Sister Lily, my mom, Selene, the Black Bulls-

Noelle: Myself?

Tyrus: Especially you, Noelle.

Noelle: You could never let me down. Sure you're reckless, a loudmouth, and for all intents and purposes, a know-it-all idiot.

Tyrus: Spare no expense, why don't ya?

Noelle: But in the same breath, you're resilient, tough, selfless and like Asta are the main reason that the rest of us want to be stronger not just individually but as a squad. You two are a major reason we even reached second in Star Festival.

Tyrus: You were a major part as well. I mean you didn't get to First Class Intermediate Magic Knight by using your name and weight. You earned it, Noelle.

Noelle: Well duh. I maybe royalty but I take my Magic Knight duties seriously.

Tyrus: Heh.

Noelle: So did you mean what you said earlier when you were talking to your sister, I believe Recca was her name? That I meant the world to you?

Tyrus: Well you are my girlfriend, Silva. What, you think I was just blowin' steam in front of my not-so sibling?

Noelle: I can never tell with you.

Tyrus: Yes, you mean the world to me, Noelle. I thought I made that clear with the many affections I've shown ya since we got together.

He begins to yawn, eyes growing heavy with Noelle letting him rest his head on her shoulder.

Noelle: As romantic as it would be to stare at the moon and stars to cap off a night..... I don't think a church roof is the most optimal place for sleep. Come now, Tyrus my sweet. Let's get you to sleep.

Tyrus: Sure. So tired....

Noelle: I know... I know.
