The Sharingan Hyuga

For the next week, Shuichi was busy with alliance meetings making the princess a bit unhappy. As she can't do anything about it, she decided to go back to the Heart Kingdom and requests him to take there as she doesn't have any guards with her at present.

He stared blankly at something for a while confusing her, "ok, found it. Off you go". A spatial tear appeared and swallowed her much to her surprise. Before she knew what's going on, she stood alone in front of her palace.

Later as all the captains summoned to discuss the plans of invading the Spade Kingdom. But Shuichi declined and refused to participate as for a person like him who came from another world, whether it is the Clover Kingdom or the Spade Kingdom, both are the same.

But as Purple Orca was loyal to the Clover Kingdom, he sent Kaiser in his place, as he is also a grand magic knight and have qualifications to sit along with other captains.

Meanwhile, as Lemiel was busy with reforming the kingdom in several ways, Shuichi began to roam the neutral zones, forbidden zones, and the kingdom and began to research the ruins and new dungeons.

As everyone was busy in their own way, Asta who happened to form a friendship with Rebecca went to meet with her and her siblings which made Noelle uncomfortable for some reason and end up following him.

There he met Marie, a 10-year-old, little sister of Gauche who is living away from her brother in Sister Theresa's custody. Gauche who was a sis-con to the core attacked him as she was laughing while playing with Asta.

Later, Rebecca invites Asta to dinner and to spend the night. Noelle is shocked that Asta would even consider spending that night with Rebecca and her siblings. Marco Scarlet asks Rebecca if she is going to marry Asta.

She says no but her other siblings tell her to jump Asta later. Asta is asleep when Gauche shows up and attacks him again. Gauche blasts Asta out of the house and he lands in the street. It is covered in snow. Rebecca comes outside and tells them that the children are missing.

Rebecca Scarlet wonders where her siblings have run off to. Noelle Silva reveals herself and tells them that she saw a bunch of kids going up to the mountains earlier. Sister Theresa tells Gauche Adlai that his sister was taken as well.

Gauche says that if she has her magical mirror then he should be able to track the mana. Rebecca starts to panic but Asta calms her down and tells her not to worry. Asta, Gauche, and the Sister Theresa all go to the mountain to look for the kids.

Noelle stays behind to protect the town just in case. Later, as its getting late, Noelle began to worry and tried to contact Purple Orca but as he is in a forbidden region, she wasn't able to reach him and successfully contacted Xerx who just reached the HQ from his mission.

He cursed, "damn it. Can't I get even a moment of rest?". Nevertheless, he went to Nairn, a town in common region after contacting Blue Rose and Crimson Lion.

Gareth from Crimson Lion and Wainsley of Blue Rose were deployed to save those missing kids. As they met Noelle and understand the situation, they started to follow Asta and gauche's trails.

By the time they reached the cave, they found the kids outside. After learning the situation, they sent Noelle with kids for safety and they proceed to the cave.

Meanwhile, As Asta is fighting Baro and Neige, Sally and Valtos joined the fight as Valtos wanted to give Asta's grimoire to their leader and Sally just wants Asta as her research material. Outnumbered, Asta and Gauche along with Sister Teresa began to fell into a disadvantage.

But just then, as they were joined by three elite magic knights, they completely overturned the situation. With Gareth's Iron magic, Xerx, and Wainsley's Ice magic, soon they were able to take care of both of them and meanwhile, Asta and Gauche defeated Baro and Neige.

As Neige turned to a new leaf and ready to accept his crimes, Suddenly he was hit with magic in the back and collapses. Licht makes his appearance surprising Asta. "it's you...". Gauche asked, "who is this guy?". Asta replied seriously, "even though it's a blur, I'm sure he is the same guy who escaped from the Magic Emperor back during the attack".

Licht without any warning started to attack them while they were trying to defend or dodge. As Asta is exhausted from the previous fight, he wasn't in his peak condition and as a strong magic attack began to hit him, he is saved when Sister Theresa sacrifices herself by jumping in the way of the magical attack.

Licht smiled, "well, it seems you still remember me, Asta. I'm the leader of the Eye of Midnight Sun". Then he looked at Sally and Valtos and sighed, "how many times you will fail and should I keep saving you two?".

As they apologized, Licht looked at Asta and the sword with Grimoire. He was frustrated for a second but calmed down for a second and looked at him coldly, "you aren't supposed to have that grimoire and the sword".

He sends both of them away and tells Asta that they are going to destroy the Clover Kingdom and create a new one in its place. Asta tries to attack Licht but Licht gets the upper hand. Even though Xerx and the other two joined Asta and attacked him, it didn't changed the result as everyone was defeated quickly.

Licht looked at the bleeding Asta, "as long as you are alive, the grimoire and the swords can't be free. I guess I just have to adjust with only the swords after killing you then". As Licht going to attack him, Yami Sukehiro appears and deflects the attack surprising Asta "Black Bulls Captain?".

He mumbled, "that brat sure gives me trouble. Now I have to deal with this guy?". Finral Roulacase was dragged along as well as Yami came to the rescue. Licht says that he always wanted to fight Yami because he uses dark magic.

Asta asks Finral to get the kids and everyone else back to town. Asta asks Yami about his sword and he tells him that it is a katana from his homeland. Licht sends light magic at Yami but Yami deflects it. The two of them go against each other while Asta was amazed.

Later, as Licht got angered as the battle is going on for a while, so, he created a magical whip that brings down the cave's ceiling. The rocks land on top of Asta and Yami but do not kill them as they rise from the rubble with their swords held high.

As Asta barely kept himself conscious after emerging the rubble, Licht and Yami go on again resuming their fight. Asta who was shocked and amazed thought, "when comparing to Captain Shuichi, they don't seem scary but considering their strength, I wonder when will I able to surpass all of them with just two swords and become Magic Emperor".
