Jump Force: The series (On Pause)

Chapter X: Unexpected encounter; A devil's trial, Hero vs Goddess?

*Jump 118 - 2209* Clover kingdom

It was a normal day for the Clover kingdom, everyone doing their matters, walking along the road, maybe buying crops or going towards somewhere, but we are not really focused on their actions, specifically one person.

At one part of the road, more to say surrounded by a group of people, mostly conformed by adults and some kids, we have the site of someone of short height, covered by a brown clothe, walking along them as a person of the many present at the village, acting so normally as it walked silently and without suspitions among the others surrounding him, but why do we look at this person in specific?, well, the mayor reason is because these guy is non other than Asta, who abandoned the black bulls in order to kept himself away of everyone he knew.

But because he was so famous for being, "The lucky peasant of the Black Bulls", he knew he just couldn't went everywhere without being recognized by the people.

'I'm sure I felt their ki, they're here for sure, but where?' Thought Asta as he was walking forward, taking care of not bumping up with someone as he started to analise the place, he knew this village didn't have strong mages, so he knew that, if the venoms appeared, they would cause a big ruckus. Even a massacre if they wanted to do so.

But then, a kid who was playing with his brother bumped in our teen, as the kid fell backwards, he later saw the face of the hooded teen. Thank goodness, the kid didn't reacted shocked, it actually stood back up and apologise to our mage, who simply answered in reasurance and later on seeing how the kid went again to play.

'If everything could be these peaceful?, *sigh* How would I love to see that happening' Asta thought as he saw still, how the kid went back to his mother, as he's brother once talked him in joy.

It wasn't just a phrase of his imagination, he did wanted to see a future like that, a world where the discrimination against powerless was not existant, a world where he could be as he wanted to live; without war, without danger, without arrogance and discrimination. Asta always dreamed of something like that as he grew older through out the years, how would he love to see that.

But, out of nowhere, what he saw in nostalgy soon turned too seriousness, as he sensed the dark sinister ki's of the venoms nearby his position, more precisely, near the family he just stared at. Three hooded people of weird clothing were clearly a meter away their position, looking right at him, ready to attack at any moment.

'These guys really appeared right at the most convinient moment' thought Asta in sarcasm, as he looked at them fiercely to move away. Something that the venoms took no importance and neared him, walking if they were common people.

But reality had other plans.

Some buildings from afar, we have the sight of a red haired woman with blue eyes, diamond shaped frekles and a dressing i was more noticeable to say she was a normal woman, someone that nobles could easily call 'peasant'.

Rebecca's POV

How can it be possible?!, why did Asta left the Black Bulls and go out all alone in the forest. That was part of her thoughts as she was working at her Job, taking also care her family didn't enter in trouble. Although she was still Gobsmacked by the information that they gave her a week ago.

Flashback

"Asta did what?!" Rebecca exclaimed absolutely surprise of the information that was gave to her from Finral, one of Asta's ex-partner of the Black Bulls.

"I understand your surprise, after all, Noelle did surprised us as well with this news not long ago" Finral replied in response, also feeling down from it.
