Gaining Strength In Another World
Magic is the most important thing this world has to offer. It's what dictates how you'll be treated for the rest of your life. If you're born with barely any magic you'll forever be stuck at the bottom of the hierarchy, and having a lot of magic will quickly raise you to the top. But what does one do when there are born with no magic? This is the question that has been constantly running through Asta's mind since he's Been reincarnated 5 years ago.
'I know gaining physical strength will help a lot but that won't be enough to make me the best I need to find other ways to get stronger.' This is what has been on Asta's mind for the past few months. He's already started to do physical conditioning to wield the anti-magic blades but even then original Asta still struggled in fights. So he's currently spending his time between training to research magic items that can help him in battle but so far it's been a real struggle to attain any knowledge in hage due to it being a village of peasants.
Though it does have its benefits, due to the poorness of the village the education is not great and the over-reliance on magic means most of the villagers are pretty easy to take advantage of. And using that to his advantage as well as the little bit of reputation he built up since he was four and allowed to help with work he can earn a decent amount of coin when trading goods. Right now he's currently trying to save up as much money as possible for a trip to one of the larger cities to acquire more useful books and hopefully a magic item. Though this means Asta ends up spending most of his time working out, doing work around the village, and hunting to trade and to have more than just potatoes to eat at the church.

Right now one can see this young boy dragging a tied-up boar through the woods on his way back to the church after a successful hunt. The boy looks pretty normal at first glance but after giving him a second look over you can tell he looks quite skilled for his age. He's equipped with a bow and quiver on his back, a dagger is also strapped to his belt along with a satchel, and his hands are covered in calluses from long days of hard work. Soon after a bit of walking a view of a run-down but homely-looking church comes into view and the boy can't help but smile at the sight of it. 'It might not be the best place to live but it's sure nice to come back to after a long day of work.' " I'm back everybody and I brought dinner" he yells out. A few seconds later a lady dressed like a nun walks out holding a baby "Oh that's fantastic Asta bring it in so we can prepare it" Lilly tells him "You got it, sister I'll get right to it" bringing the boar inside to the kitchen and setting it down he turns around and asks. "So do you know where Yuno is?" " I believe he's outback working on his magic" "Ah I see well I head back there to check on him" he then makes his way out back.
'Hmm, Yuno has been getting into training recently which is weird because the letter incident didn't happen cause Oris had me deliver it.' This annoyed Asta as he can't understand why Yuno had such a sudden change as he didn't follow canon. As he entered the backyard the sight of Yuno came into view as he brought down a blade of wind to cut a log in two. Letting out an impressed whistle as he approach he couldn't help but compliment him. "Impressive looks like your getting better control of your wind so enough you might be a match for me." " Eek Asta your back already! Wha-whats going on did you catch anything." 'Hmm even though he started training he still has that crybaby personality.' "Yep, you bet I did a nice juicy boar and some herbs to trade at the market tomorrow." "Oh, that's good I bet Father Oris will be happy" "Yeah whatever just get inside and help prepare dinner" "Ah okay Asta," he said meekly.
Later that evening everyone in the church was seated at the table preparing to eat but before that Father Oris stood up " Before we eat let's pray for the wonderful meal that the gods blessed us with." everyone grabs each other hands and bows their heads while Father said grace. Meanwhile, Asta starts to tune out Oris and smiles 'Just a few more months and I should have enough supplies and money to make my trip.' 'though I hope I don't cause too much trouble since I plan to take off without telling them, cause I don't want to be stopped.'
