A door opened in front of Asta’s tent. The ones to see this were some of the locals and rushed to the Black Bulls. Soon Applejack and Rainbow came to the door and readied themselves for a fight. It was soon made clear that is wasn’t need as Asta walked out the door.

“Hey girls,” Asta waved.

“Where have you been dude?” Rainbow got in his face. “Aj and Fluttershy have been worried sick.”

“Ah was worried but Shy was real bad,” Aj blushed as she put a hand in front of her mouth.

“I’ve only been gone a day,” Asta raised an eyebrow.

“Dude, you’ve been gone nearly two weeks,” Rainbow threw her hands up.

“What?!” Asta shouted, he then looked at Al who steadily nodded. “FUCK! I’m really sorry girls.” Asta, embraced Aj in a warm hugged.

“Ah love ya Asta and we know ya go on trips like this but we didn’t expect ya ta be gone for so long this time,” Aj snuggled into his shoulder. “I don’t think it can be helped as far as a time thing goes due to the whole different worlds thing but do try okay. You need to see Shy. She’s been worried sick.”

“Right,” Asta looked at her with his hands on her shoulders. “Thanks for being you Aj,” he gave her a passionate kiss on the lips and then broke it off leaving the farm girl red-faced and stunned,

“Damn girl, you know you got yourself a great guy if he leaves ya speechless after that,” Rainbow jabbed at her friends.

“Whaaaaa- aAh SHUT UP DASH!” Aj said as she sent a clod of dirt at the laughing pegasus.

Asta ran through the town and the various people would wave and he’d return it with a smile. He ran searching for Shy. He eventually came across the Princesses.

“Asta, you’re back,” Luna said in shock.

“What took you so long?” Celestia demand in a soft tone.

“Hey, princesses and I really have no excuses,” Asta stopped and bowed.

“You seem to have humbled a bit more towards me,” Celestia noticed the manners that he was showing towards her. “Did something happen while you were in the other world.”

“Yes, I saw and heard things that made me question my own animosities for you,” Asta looked her in the eyes. “And I can understand why you did what did. I posed a threat to your subjects and you had no idea of what I was capable of but outside of outright attacking me you simply tried to use discretion and put me to sleep so you could question me later.”

“What exactly did you experience?” Luna was scared to ask.

“I saw your darker side,” Asta said with understating to Celestia. "Or at least what you could've been had you taken some different routes in your choices."

Celestia was more than a little uneased at his statement but knew he spoke the truth. "We know we've told you before but I am truly sorry for what we tried to do when you first arrived here, and we both deeply regret what we did."

"You have nothing to be sorry for princesses," Asta placed a hand on his heart. "I understand that you did it for the protection of your country and its people but at the same time I won't excuse my own actions or unjustified anger towards you either. I'm not mad anymore and you both carry the books to prove it, but at the same we are still only acquaintances and mutual partners. My Knights solely answer to me on matters of the Black Bulls and operate outside your jurisdiction as rulers on what thy do in the name of the my Squad."

"We understand that Asta, and even if we did have noting planned we'd be starting a war against a powerful king which we couldn't stop," Luna said with hint of fear in her voice. "We both know you don't want the job or title but you are still the king of the land and most be held as much."

"Yes, I have been thinking on that and there really ism't a way out of it," Asta sighed as he scratched the back of his head. "I might as will take the throne here and establish the town as an actual city. That way it would deter some of the other cities and lords from laying claim to it but I would establish a parliament under the already existing council. They would govern under my supervision but I still have the authority when I'm here."

The tow rulers looked at the knight in a little bit of confusion but mostly shock. "What will you call this kingdom?" Celestia asked.

"And can we count on your general cooperation with Equestria for trade and other agreements?" Luna added. "And what about the Elements? Will you have them live here?"

"For the most part, but you'll have to hash out the details with the people's council," Asta nodded. "I don't intend to have them live here at all actually, just make a general trip to check on things from time to time once we get things set up and running smoothly."

"Most importantly, will you be living your kingdom?" Celestia was a bit ashamed to ask as she didn't want to make him think he was unwanted or trying to force him out of her own.

"If it's alright with you two, I would like to stay in Equestria?" Asta asked with a humble bow. "Its where Shy ad Aj live and I don't want to force them to leave their homeland or families. I've also come to regard Equestria as my home."

"I see no issues as long as you monitor your kingdom with regular visits at least every month," Celestia let out a sigh of relief.

"I planned to," Asta stood back up. "But you'll have to excuse me as I have a very worried pegasus to console and other matters to see to. Good day."

Asta shot off once more, "He's gotten humbler and a lot stronger in the two weeks he was away sister, I sense a new light in him and not just that accursed darkness from before," Celestia said in a low warm tone.

"Indeed. It makes you want to know what he saw and did over int the other world," Luna pondered with a bit of curiosity. "And I agree with you on his in light but he also seems... Much happier to."

"It's not our place Lu." Celestia continued to walk with her sister. "We may have other selves out there in his universe but that doesn't me we need to know. If he wants to tell us then let him, and I agree that he is much happier. For now let him be and have his time."

"Yes," Luna looked and gave a slight blush then went on to catch up to her sister.

The pair Asta ran into were Pinkie Pie and Rarity, odd as it may be.

"Hey Astie you're back, with new skills and powers to boot, cool," Pinkie gleefully poked Asta all over until she was pulled back by a teal blue aura.

"Yes Pinkie he's back but that doesn't many you can go and fill him up all over the place dear," Rarity tolled her eyes. "So, how was your trip? You've been gone for a bit this time around. "She clicked her tongue with a bit of disappointment in her captain.

"I had no idea that there was gonna be a time gap that large Rarity," Asta threw his hands up.

"I don't want to hear it, we all know weird stuff happens to you when you're gone on this escapades," Rarity shook her head. "You should be seeing Dear Fluttershy right now and not running through the streets like a cheetah that just had his first espresso."

"That's who I'm trying to find!" Asta expressed concern.

"Yea, obviously he's running around looking for her Rarity," Pinkie cut in. "If ya head toward the memorial you might find her. She usually sits there and looks at the statue you made of her dad with longing eyes. I really wish she could have met him more than once." her hair and tail deflated a bit.

"Thanks, Pinks, and Rarity if you could make some more robes that would be great," Asta smirked. "Got go."

"I'll see what I can do...," Rarity, as he headed off, blew her hair out of her face. "But I'll have to head home for materials. Does he ever stop being so... Whatever. Pinkie dear, do you fill up to accompanying me over to Ponyville on a little broomstick venture?"

"I don't think Astie puts anything off when it comes to Fluttershy or Aj," Pinkie giggled. "And sure."

"They do have quite the effect on him," Rarity sighed with a smirk. "Wish I could find a stallion with that sort of devotion that."

"Why not Astie?" Pinkie hopped along.

"First off, that is a big maybe on my parting darling. Secondly, because he has Fluttershy and Applejack," Rarity went heavily blushed. "Don't get me wrong dear, he's great but not my type in many areas. I'd be more into somepony closer to Spike's traits and qualities, even if he has gotten a few of the rougher ones from Asta in the past months."

"Then why night Spike?" Pinkie hopped backwards. "He is in love with you, right?"

"I think Spike is still a bit too young for anything, even if he's shown quite a bit of maturity as of late, "She referenced Spike's studies under Asta and his recent exploits against the hunter that kidnapped their friends. "And I think his heart is over me as well, for the better."

The duo went to the house that the mane six had built for themselves using scrap materials they'd scavenged from stops along the track to Ponyville and the Town as well as few things they had lying around. The retrieve their brooms and were soon off the Ponyville once more.

Asta soon arrived at the center of town and the memorial that he'd created to commemorate its true founding and official name. In his absence, some of the townsfolk had planted some of there own flowers on the outside of the rose garden he'd brought into existence.

"Looks like their adding color to," He smiled as he looked around for Fluttershy. "Where oh where is my shy little mare?" Asta couldn't help but rhyme as he scanned the crowd until he came across a familiar face. "There you are."

Asta rushed over to the last of the mane six, Twilight and Fluttershy that were setting.

"I'm sure he's fine Fluttershy," Twilight tried to console her friend. "I know this the first time he's been gone for so long but it's not as if we can predict the flow of time for other worlds."

"I know Twilight but and I'm fine with him being gone it's just I still worry about," Fluttershy sighed. "Things have been going well in the relationship between us and since Aj came in Asta was even happier. But since then he's been a little off to."

"Off how?" Twilight tilted her head.

"Mainly lost in thought," Fluttershy sighed. "Something about the last time he was summoned before his brother's trail. It like, even though he's happy at the same time he's kicking himself for something."

"That is troubling," Twilight leaned back a little and looked at the sky. "Maybe he lost a fight in the other world."

"According to him, Asta and the resident Displaced were able to force and evil monster back, so they won," Fluttershy looked off slightly to the side. "But he also said he could've done more."

"Well he does try and do things with his magic and anti-magic but at the same time those things made him extremely powerful," Twilight kept looking up. "Asta has always said that he doesn't fight battles unless he has or unless he's in a fight to have a good time where others won't get hurt. But I have noticed that he enjoys fighting, even if he's facing an enemy that he knows is evil. It could be that in that world he was fighting without his power to push himself and feels a little underwhelmed that he was being toyed with and thinks that even if he'd used his powers that he might have even been beaten."

"Not exactly but pretty close Twi," Asta's voice came from in between the two startling them. Fluttershy immediately jumped up and threw her arms around her boyfriend's neck. Twilight jumped and fell on her butt. "Sorry for worrying you. I didn't know I'd be gone so long." he stroked her hair.

"It's okay," Fluttershy said as she kissed his cheek.

"But I SAY YOUR kind of right because I know there was more I could've done in the battle and it felt like the bastard was just toying with us," Asta explained as he pulled Twilight to her feet. "And it doesn't help that i was acting like a smart ass and show off to," Asta huffed. "But back to you two, sorry I was gone so long. How have things been here?"

"Things have been going great actually," Twilight chirped. "The new recruits have been at it since you left and Spike and Rainbow have been drilling the citizen on basic combat skills. Many of them are naturals."

"Good to hear," Asta nodded, releasing Shy from his side. "And I've decide that I will be founding the Black Clover Kingdom with Waillen as it's capital. The Black Bulls with help in it's construction as we have been at least until we know the can take care of themselves."

"Does this mean you're take over as king?" Fluttershy said with apprehension.

"Yes it does, but mainly in name alone. It will establish this place as a true state and be allied to Equestria with its main enforcer being different corps of the Black Bulls. I as king will have absolute power but will leave the governing to the council already in place," Asta explained. "I will be teaching the locals martial arts and give them a certain power to move the elements, not magic but something similar to their druidic natures."

"Can I-" Twilight started to say but Asta put a finger over her mouth.

"No, you can not have it, but you can study the martial art forms and their meanings used in these skills," Twilight puffed her cheeks causing Asta to snicker. "I think some one able to interpret these form an outsiders pointer that doesn't have the power of nature would be a great asset to the students and you would pick up martial arts to help defend yourself. How have the towns construction and the training of the people been going?"

"Spike and Rainbow have been drilling the town in the basic forms you taught to them," Twilight pouted as she crossed her arms. "That and some of the guards have taken to joining and also offering some basic Equestrian moves. Then you have the newest members of our squad. They've been hard at work training with their Grimoires everyday, i got a few interesting spells from them. Wanna see?" She squeed.

"Maybe later Twilight," Asta patted her shoulder. "Right now I just want to curl up with Shy and Aj and get some rest. I went through quite the ordeal in the other world and I still have a lot of things to get done before I can even start building up the new corps. Oh yea didn't Celestia give you a book a while ago."

"Hmmm... I don't think so," Twilight tried to remember. "I would think I would remember getting a book from my teacher" she laughed.

"You did get a book," Fluttershy spoke up. "I remember because you were really excited about it and then..." She turned beat red and buried her face in Asta's shoulder then whispered to him.

"Bwahahhaha....ahahahahaha!" Asta belted. "Oh, oh that's funny I... yea I needed that."

"What?" Twilight stomped.

"She said your were so excited that Rainbow commented that you were having an orgasm from getting the book," Asta kept laughing and Twilight froze as he face let up brighter than a chili pepper.

"Oh my, that's right, I did get a book form the princesses," She said with a downward gaze. "It was one of Starswirl The Beard's journals. That's why I got so ah, yes..."

"Wait a minute," Asta looked at Twilight. "Twilight you didn't actually..." Her face was getting redder.

"Oh my...." Fluttershy blushes.

"SHUT UP! ASTA!" Twilight cried as she looked off to the side embarrassed as she looked like she was about to explode as the blood filled her cheeks.

"Come here," Asta pulled her into a hug. "It's okay I 'm not judging you and we've all had embarrassing stuff happen to us before. It happened to me once before I started dating Shy," Fluttershy eyes almost popped out of her head from the memory of when Asta flashed her while she feverishly blushed.

Of course it didn't really matter to her now as she had she and seen in in the nude several times since then, and her her but it was still something they didn't like to talk about. But she was fine with telling as long as he was the one doing it.

Twilight didn't know what happened between the two of them but she knew he was telling the truth and she felt much better knowing that Asta understood. So she gently returned his embrace, "Thanks Asta."

"Now we can't stand here all day, you have a book the I strongly in courage you to read, and I need to catch up on some much-needed quality time with my two favorite girls," Asta chuckled. "You gonna be okay?"

"Yea, thanks again," Twilight said softly.

"Okay then will see ya later Twi," Asta patted the book pony on the head then pickup Shy bridal style, causing her to blush even more.

They went on they're way while Twilight stared and placed her hand over her heart, "They sure are lucky to have you." She let out a sigh. ' Wait a second, I can't be falling for him, can I?

Asta had spent the last few days ironing out what his plan was with the council and they were overjoyed to hear that he was going to accept his true title as the king of this land an that they wouldn't be a part of Caribou kingdom anymore but the what he now dubbed the Black Clover Kingdom, after his Grimoire. He also made it very explicit that there would no more nobles in his kingdom and that all would have an equal say in all matters. He then explained that a select few amongst the citizens would receive grimoires. Others would receive a type of elemental power to wield either earth, water, fire, or air as well as go through rigorous martial arts training and these others would also be a separate branch of the Black Bulls called Benders.

Asta mentioned that Black Bulls' senior member would have more authority and free reign but still act as enforcers should the need arrive and that they would speak with this full authority when he was else where and that his decisions could only be overturned by the council unless he deemed it necessary to go act to his own. Asta also said he would remain in Equestria but would make regular trips to the city to check over its progresses. Speaking of progress the town had started to work on building homesteads out side the crystal walls as the town was starting to get cramped as new building popped up everyday and almost no tents remained.

Asta sat on a cloud above his town and was doing some meditation. He was currently communing in his inner realm, aka his Grimoire, trying to speak with Raava, the spirit of light he received from Deltorix. His mind had entered his Grimoire and started to look around.

"Hmm, not much has changed in here, as usual," Asta deadpanned as he looked around as he looked out on a bright ride vastness.

Suddenly the demon appeared before him. "Come to visit me you tease?" it chuckled.

"I'm here to visit yes but not you," Asta rolled his eyes.

"Oh so your here to see the bright shiny wispy totem kite looking bitch," The demon scowled. "What ever happened to living a quiet life and not being a hero?"

"Somethings can't be averted," Asta crossed his arms. "As for the first yes, and FYI her names Raava."

"I don't know why you need such a thing with my power," The demon said with an annoyed tone.

"It wasn't my plan to get her," Asta rolled his eyes with a slight grumble. "It's more like my brother forced her on me with out my consent. At the time I was pissed about it but I understand why he did what he did."

The demon snickered. "You mean to balance out you light and dark. Even with that dark ponies soul gone you still have his dark magic, and now it's unhindered by that seal."

"Yes but I'm still going to stay away from it," Asta crossed his arms.

The demon abruptly grabbed Asta. "Why not just use it and be done with it already? We both know what happened last time you tapped into the darkness you tapped into a great power. Just think of what I could give you if you would give into your dark side more, like the second stage transformation."

"You be quite," Asta glared at the smiling demon. "I know the only reason I had that under control was because it wasn't my anger but because you used the anger that came from Del's Celestia to fuel your power."

"Your the one who was close enough to her for me to affect her and feed off of her negative emotions," The demon pulled Asta up to his eye and cackled. "And let's not forget this it was you the willing passed her the Grimoire. Sure you didn't know she had a very similar emotional wavelength to your, but I DIGRESS, you handed her the book and I FED off the anger and hate. I am stronger now more than ever.Why do you think I have you in my grip? Your body it now mine!"

The demon raised Asta up over his mouth as it opened wide showing off its pointy teeth. Asta struggled to get free but found that it was nye impossible. Suddenly out of nowhere came a blinding light and the demon released his prey allowing Asta to role on the ground out of the way. Asta shook his head looked on to see what had saved him. There floating in the air in a brilliant white shine decorated with various light blue markings was a large kite looking being with a singular eye. The demon retreated from the light and back into nothing for the time being still wearing his malicious grin

"Ed must've known that he could feed on others negativity to increase his power," Asta got to his feet and grabbed his arm in pain. "That's why he wanted me to have have." He looked up to his savoir as it came down in front of him. "Raava."

"Your brother sought to balance your darker abilities," Raava said in a soothing and warm voice while she wrapped a tendril around Asta's arm and bathed it in a healing light. "With that of my light and the bending styles you inherited from Deltorix."

"I though that's what Ed had planned," Asta said as he moved his arms.

"I have countered the demon's influence this time and rebalanced the forces in your body for a time but if you will have to continue to mediate and commune with use in order to keep this in check at least until the first time you can fully synchronize with me and achieve avatar state," Raava explained. "And even then you will have to mediate until you can unlock the chakras in your body."

"I understand," Asta looked down a little ashamed that the demon could also feed on others hate around him.

"Our time is up for now but it was not to meet you Asta," Raava said with a bit of cheer. "Good bye for now."

"So ya later Raava," Asta waved as everything went white and he opened his eyes to see Nero looking at him with a sideways turned head.

"What're you up too?" Asta squinted at the bird.

Hoo. she hooted as she turned her body to face the same direction Asta was facing.

"Friends..." Asta raised an eyebrow. "You mean you have other owls like you coming here?"

Hoo she continued.

"As long as they don't cause problems they're welcome,"Asta stood up and stretched. "I 'd more than welcome more howlers as long as they keep peace. Them helping my city in some way would help to."

Hooo Nero hooted annoyed.

"I'm not going to force any of you to join the Black Bulls but it is more than welcome," Asta sighed as he scratched the back of his head. "Besides, Shy would kill me if I forced any animal to do anything against its will for almost any reason other than in the name of protecting others against it." He popped his knuckles. "Its time for bending training?"

Hoo?

"Not until I'm confident enough in my own skills," Asta pulled out his sword and surfed down. "Other don't need to started until their teach can do it well enough to teach." He jumped off his sword and land in by a nearby stream. "This'll do nicely," Asta looked around as he then slammed his fist together. "Alright, lets get started. I.D. Create." Asta created his illusionary space and started to train hardcore to master his bending. He would do this for the next week and a half straight even going to different locations nearby to up his training proficiency in order to master his bending but he would always return to his budding town and his girls at the end of the day.

The illusionary spaced shattered like glass with large fractured chunks and little bits falling everywhere, Asta walked out drenched in sweat with a towel draped over his shoulders behind his neck and Nero flapping behind him. "Wooh," he said letting out a breath. "It took me awhile but I'm fairly sure I've got the jest of these bending styles down."

Hoo? Nero Asked.

"That's right," Asta smirked as he wiped his face off. "Tomorrow we start making our benders and start their training."

Hoo?

"Yea, I'm going to use my I.D. Create, I've gotten pretty good with it and we're on a bit of a time crunch," Asta shucked his clothes then jumped in the nearby stream to wash off the stink of the day. He washed his face, "We're way behind on the development of the exterior housing. I couldn't keep rely on the girls to stay hear constantly. Twilight stayed due to the journal and Shy and Aj stay because they're my girlfriends but they still go back and check on things and other stuff back home. I have no doubt without those three we'd be even further behind but I can't solely rely on them."

Hoo Hoo

"And I'm grateful for the new members help too," Asta sank down and enjoy the brisk water. "Thanks to Spike, Blue, Haze, and Free Fall teach them combat skills many of the towns people can defend themselves if thee need should arise."

In Equestria

Meanwhile back in Ponyville an old friend of one of the Black Bulls had decided to return to visit them. This was only a false pretense or so her superior had ordered her to use this as an excuse, but she was also there to check up on the prismatic pegasus and try to reconcile their former friendship if possible. Though her main mission was to scout out the newcomer who was rumored to have led a charge into the sex slave capital of the world then proceeded to burn said capital down to nothing. The same individual was said to have taken on an army a few days later and took a good chuck of it out on his own before a group of ponies showed up to provide back up each wielding a very unique type of magic with the help of a book.

The female in question was not a pony but a griffon on assignment from the capital of the Griffon Empire, Griffonstone. She had received orders straight from the top to go undercover by the King himself and investigate this new power in the land and to see if it could be added to the Empire's strength. Her name was Lieutenant Gilda Blackbeak, former friend of Element of Loyalty Rainbow Dash.

Back at the stream outside Waillen

Asta was finishing up washing of when a familiar Shadowbolt guard flew down and landed on the banks of the stream. Nero turned her head around to see who the new guest was before returning her gaze to Asta.

Hoo!

"I know she's her Nero not like she's trying to hide her presence," Asta huffed. "What can I do for you Captain Nightingale?"

Asta looked back over his shoulder. Nightingale had been promoted to Captain sense Haze and her brother Free Fall had been given the position of the Equestrian Representatives in the Black Bull Corps. The she didn't much care for Asta's company she did have respect for the newly crown king for what he's accomplished and what he was trying to accomplish for the people he'd saved and know governed, in a manner of speaking.

"Just coming to check on my brother and report that that the for candidates your requested for the Bending Corps have been finalized," Nightingale gave a salute.

"Thank and no need to be formal with me, we're acquainted enough to use first names," Asta ran his hands through his hair tasseling it to get the water out. "If you wouldn't mind throwing me that towel and turning around please. We don't know each other that well," He snickered.

Nightgale picked up the towel with a bit of pink in her face and quickly threw it at Asta's head before turning to face the other direction. Asta walked out and cast a quick ID Create and slipped on his clothes before dispelling it.

"What's going on?" Nightgale quickly turned around seeing the shards of the falling illusionary space and then saw Asta fully clothed to her shock.

"Just used a quick skill so I could dry off and get into some clean clothes with out wasting a bunch of your time," Asta said as he dusted off his chest while wearing a grey training Gi. He tied a black sash around his waist. "There, that should do for the time being." He looked at Nightingale. "Thanks for coming to let me know, you can find Free Fall either in the his house. with Haze, or training in the Sparring Rings. If he's not in any of those places he's more than likely off to Princess Luna's or somewhere in he town doing what he wants."

"Thank you King Asta," She gave a bow and then took off to the skies toward Waillen.

"Yep still don't like it," Asta sighed as his Grimoire floated up next to him and he pulled out his Alchemist Pocket watch. He proceeded to open it and said. "Call Deltorix." the hands spun around the face of the watch as a holo-display popped up from the device revealing a familiar red dragon on the receiving end.

"Hey Del!" Asta waved at the Dragon. "How have things been since me and Ed left?"

“Well apparently I landed in Poison Joke when Dash hit me with her Rainboom and I spent the whole morning the day after as a 8-bit version of myself, and I am finally good enough that I can start forging metals like Vibranium and adamantium so I’m gonna be working on armor soon.” He says while he walks outside.

"Ouch, and sweet," Asta nodded with a smirk. "Hey, I hate to bug you and I really have now idea how much time has passed there but here it was two week for one day there so I'm guessing it's only day but I need a favor. Would you be willing to hear me out?"

“Sure and damn two weeks? Your mates must have been pissed!” He chuckles a bit.

"Not so much as pissed but worried as all HELL and they're my MAREFRIENDS you living flame thrower, not my mates," Asta insinuated while throwing of with a chuckle at his insult. "Good news is I've started on building my kingdom. My people have all started their self defense lessons and the Black Bulls are all on board and So are Celestia and Luna in the support department. But back to the main topic," He threw his hands up and waved them back and forth. "I'm starting up a special section of the Black Bulls called the Bending Corps. Each will be a squad of sixteen benders of one element each. They're going to be more or less the main defense force for the town here. But I have a BIG problem with getting them started. "I can't simple teach them the right moves for the bending. I use my martial arts yes but I NEED ACTUAL bending scrolls and texts to be able to teach from while I'm not here. I plan on teaching four bender and then they teach four, and four, and etc. Do you have access to any scrolls or manuals in that shop of your? And could you get them for me if you do? It would be a big help if you can."

“Hmmm I think I can spare some bits for something like that but keep in mind some of them may be able to learn the Advanced bending styles not all of them but some, while you can learn all of them, I’ll send you as many scrolls and books as I can.” He says as he taps at the air and Asta saw a few flashes off screen.

"I plan on keeping it simple until I know they can handle more advanced stuff," Asta nodded as he crossed his arms. "I'm going to be more of a figure king than anything else but right now I'm getting things set up so I can still live in Equestria with Shy and Aj. Eventually I will have to move out here but I'm hoping that's a long ways off. Send if you need bit I can send you some."

“As much as I appreciate the thought I have made a choice not to spend any real bits on anything in my store as those bits are gone forever, and as for your future I wish you a happy boring life” he says with a smirk then he nods.

“Alright I got a good supply of scrolls and books on every bending art most wont fit in the watch so I’ll just use my power hold on.” He moves a bit on screen then says. “Send to Asta.”

And then Asta sees books and scrolls appear in a flurry of pixels in front of him.

"Thanks man," Asta gave a grateful nod. "Do you need anything while I have you on the line?"

“Hmmm not that I can think of unless... well, Heartswarming is gonna be coming eventually and seeing as you know Fluttershy well maybe you can tell me if she would like the gift idea I have for her, vixens necklace.” Del says while scratching his cheek.

Asta gave a wicked smirk. "Mine likes animals and being in nature, hence her Grimoire being Gaea magic. Ed told me most Fluttershys really don't care for jewelry as the never really wear it. Seeing as it's animal themed she would like but if you really want to impress her do something for the local animal population, or just help her around her cottage. Spend time with her, maybe get her an unusual tea. My girl loves spearmint, rosemary, and clover tea in the afternoon with Honey biscuits."

Del rolls his eyes. “The gift is more then a nice Piece of jewelry, the vixen necklace gives the Wearer the powers of the animal kingdom, it’s for her protection.”

"She would like it but if you want her to accept it completely be a little sweet and mysterious with the way you give it to her," Asta threw his hands up. "Leave it for her on her pillow at night before bed, or on her window seal. If you can get it around the little white demon try and have a bird give it to her."

Del raises an eyebrow. “Um that sounds too romantic for my tastes I’m not interested in her that way I just want her to have a way to defend herself if trouble shows up.”

"Hey man I'm just spit balling here," Asta threw his hands up ."Put those ideas in a box for when you do find someone or someones that you really care for. If it's just as a friend thing then a simple white gift box with a red silk ribbon should work just fine then. Be sure to be there when she opens it to explain what it does to her. She'll put it on right away and be all giddy as hell, maybe even hug you."

“Cool thanks now to come up with gift ideas for everyone else, meh I got time, well if that’s all I need to start working on-“ Del is cut off by a loud boom and roar he looks off screen and facepalms. “Sorry Asta I gonna go knock some sense into Spike.”

"Take it ease on the little guy, I know he can try and over do things when it comes to training," Asta waved. "And thanks again for the scrolls and manuals."

Del rolls his eyes and turns the watch to show a huge spike covered in orange flames roaring and taking things from everypony “I think this calls for some tough love see ya Asta.”

He then closes the watch ending the call. The feed cuts out with Del running off screen. Asta closes the watch with a chuckle and then puts it back in his Grimoire. He then turns to the pile of reading material Deltorix had sent to him.

"Now lets get these into the city," Asta huffed. "I'm gonna have to fight Twilight off with the Demon Slayer just to get one of these read." He walked over and packed up the cache of learning material and ran off to his house in Waillen.

Asta had a simple three bedroom one bath house, the standard for the town. Many of the towns folk had said they'd be more than willing to relocate to allow him to have a much bigger one as he deserved it. He simply turned them down every time they tired insisting that what he had was more than good enough, especial sense Aj and Shy were living here with the mage king, though not always at the same time but usually they did stay his side or close by.

Fluttershy was doing her best to make it through the trauma she'd been through but Asta knew she was struggling. She was strong and he was there for her and so were her friends, but none of them could really relate to what had happened to her. To make things worse the White Demon had ran off on her into the Everfree during one of her trips home, she was completely distraught with out the rabbit. Many of her other animals helped look for him but found nothing, Zecora said she had seen the white one as she called him by the old castle, but they still found no trace of Angel. Fluttershy had decided to stay in Ponyville for the week and Asta had Ymir stay with her while he stayed in Waillen to keep training.

Hours went by and Asta walked out of his simple home. He'd been studying the the scrolls and manuals that Deltorix had sent him. He got there and Asta had set up an illsuionary space in the town with I.D. Create, as it actually took him weeks to study the reading martial in a brief overview. He would make use of the town training hall to work out the basics of the bending he was going to teach. After he was confident enough in his regiment he ran back to his home and ended the ID, and everyone paid it no mind as the had grown quite use to the strangeness that came with being subjects of the Black Clover Kingdom.

"Alright," Asta smirked as he cracked his knuckles. "Time to teach some bending." Asta ran off once more.
