Zatil Hidayah Spensa: Wait for the next chapter!
I think it was a bad idea to give a three-leaf Grimoire to Natsu, I think the fourth one would be better because of the amount of magic it has. Besides, this Natsu is stronger than Fairy Tail's because he has been training his magic and skills for over fifteen years. But even so, the mistakes are already there.
Thanks for reading!
This is chapter two. I hope you like it!

Chapter 2: Yuno, Asta and Natsu
The sweat fell from his forehead because of the tiredness and intense training while his body was shaking a little. His eyes witnessed the rock breaking into small pieces after he had used his wind magic.
Yuno took a deep breath while keeping his heart beating quietly.
He was getting closer and closer to the Magic Knight exams and that excited him greatly. He worked all day to continue to increase his strength and skill with his magic.
And one closed his grimoire to take a breath as he stretched his limbs with a groan. The sweat fell from his chin while he could smell his bad smell from the sweat.
He grimaced at this, then would take a shower when it was over.
He was about to lean against a tree before his instincts kicked in when he felt the danger lurking there.
Quickly, Yuno jumped away from his old position as he opened his four-leafed grimoire ready to fight and face the mysterious threat.
Why were they attacking him?
Were they enemies?
His expressionless face and something would change to one of curiosity when the area where the blow was directed was surrounded by fire.
A familiar fire.
He squinted suspiciously as he took a few steps back to gain some distance. There was only one person in Hage capable of controlling the fire at that range and power.
It could be...
"Oi, don't move!" A frustrated and wild voice was heard inside the fire as the flames burned brightly. "I wasn't about to hit you, you bastard!"
Yuno relaxed and relieved when he heard the familiar voice. Closing his grimoire, Yuno looked with interest and suspicion at the pink haired figure after recovering from the fright.
"What are you doing here and why did you attack me?"
Natsu showed himself after the fire spread completely. Natsu rested his head in his hands with a somewhat mischievous smile. "Just looking around".
Yuno looked more suspicious when he invaded his second question. Natsu hardly ever visited him when he was training, he was distant with his training. Now, he was here, attacking for no apparent reason and in a carefree manner.
Yuno squinted. "Did Asta send you to spy on my training?"
Natsu whistled in reply. "Perhaps?"
"You can't be serious".
Yuno shook his head as he walked towards a tree trunk and let himself rest with a tiring breath. Suddenly, he had to raise his hand when a bottle of water was thrown at him.
Natsu smiled and raised his eyebrows upward in amusement. "Take it, I bought it recently".
Yuno only nodded silently and gratefully before giving the water bottle a drink. The cold water ran down his throat to his satisfaction and he let out a sigh. He noticed how Natsu sat next to him a few feet away and began to devour what looked like a leg of boar meat. And one rolled his eyes.
"How far did you go to hunt it? There is no such meat in Hage," he asked and questioned with a tired look when Natsu looked at him with a handful of food in his mouth.
"A-away.
Of course. This guy just liked meat and fire.
Natsu returned to his food while ignoring Yuno in the process.
The boy with the four-leaf clover sighed heavily before closing his eyes as he rested his body.
Soon it would be the magic tests, soon he would be able to become a magic knight and become the Wizard King.
He only had to overcome Asta, and perhaps... Natsu.
Opening one eye, he looked sideways at his non-blood brother before closing it again.
Natsu... was a stranger to his eyes...
It was the same as Asta, only with magic power and some maturity.
Natsu was always the one who put the house in order when they were just a few unruly children. It was funny at a certain point, since he looked like he wanted to be the alpha of the pack. And besides, Natsu never acted like a kid his age. Even though he was a loud and wild kid to some extent, he sometimes acted like he was the older brother with them.
Many will say that he only did it to show off for the adults, but no.
He was the only one who helped him give up his attitude of being a really crying child. Like Asta, he gave him the courage to stand up to anyone and overcome his fears.
He really acted like his big brother...
It was strange, but refreshing at the same time.
And besides, Natsu was always bold, he had so much magic and skills that he surprised anyone who saw them. His magic was enormous compared to other commoners, and was absurd and frightening to many of them.
It may be that Natsu ignored certain things, but Yuno always heard them and was present. There were many rumors that Natsu was called a monster because he had such powerful and terrifying magic.
Yuno did not deny it either. It was not normal to see a boy of his age eating fire as if it were nothing and having so much magic power.
It was amazing how Natsu ignored all these rumors and they never affected him at all.
Even if he didn't say it out loud, he completely admired that about his brother. In his eyes, Natsu was a person to follow and become by his will and spirit.
He wanted to become him.
He almost laughed at himself.
"I think I'm going to see Asta".
A statement brought Yuno out of his thoughts. Yuno only nodded calmly as Natsu threw the eaten and devoured bone into the heavens and stood on the earth.
"See you!"
Yuno said nothing when Natsu disappeared into the trees. Yuno frowned before an image ran through his mind.
A small Natsu as a child was hitting an old man in the face with flames on his arm while a wounded Asta was lying on the ground with scratches on his face.
The next memory was Natsu showing him a blue necklace with a wild smile.
A small smile was born on Yuno's face by Little Flashback. He stood up ready to resume his training.
Next time he will be the one to protect him.
In another part of the forest, you could hear loud noises from the distance that scared the birds away from their pleasant naps.
"A thousand!"
Asta roared with all his strength when he gave his last blow to the tree as he broke it in process. He sighed wearily and released his anti-mage sword as it staggered on his heels. Throwing himself on his ass, he let out a long sigh as his heart beat noisily. The anti-magician sword fell to the ground right next to him before flying off and mysteriously ducking into the dirty, filthy Grimoire.
Asta smiled happily.
So much work, so much effort, so much training, and finally he was here, right next to him.
"Oh, I'm going to take such good care of you".
Asta caressed the Grimoire lovingly as he placed him on his chest.
After pampering him a few times, Asta lay down on the green grass with a real smile on his face. His eyes were lost in the crystal clear sky as the breeze blew his locks to the side. He closed his eyes and rested with a deep breath.
He felt so relaxed for the first time.
"Fucking bird!"
Asta opened his eyes enormously in disbelief when a scream came through his eardrums suddenly causing his shock. Jumping up, he looked around for the sign of the scream. His mouth fell comically when he saw Natsu on a tree branch trying to catch a black bird flying mockingly around him.
What the hell was he trying to do?!
Natsu frowned as red flames wrapped themselves around his hand. "I will eat you!"
Natsu tried uselessly to strike the bird with fire, but the animal invaded it with pure class in its flutter.
Asta opened his eyes again when he understood what Natsu wanted to do. His eyes shone with stars of concern, "No, Natsu!"
The newly named Natsu put aside his battle to the death with the bird and fixed his gaze on Asta. "What do you mean, let him?! The bastard pecked at my head for no reason!"
Asta shook his head with still stars in his eyes. "You sure bothered him! It's wrong to hurt animals!"
Natsu was silent and sighed in defeat before watching the black bird fly away from the site. At least he felt that he demonstrated dominance over the territory.
Natsu smiled like an animal as he lengthened his teeth and showed himself comically.
Asta had a drop of sweat dripping from his head before closed his eyes. Rejecting what he saw, Asta once again fixed his gaze on Natsu.
"Oi, Natsu!" Asta shouted noisily before approaching the tree branch where Natsu was standing. "Why were you fighting with the bird?! It's annoying, but it's friendly sometimes!"
Natsu did not answer when his hand was massaging his chin in pure confusion for Asta.
Asta felt ignored.
"Why did that bastard bird smell like a human...?"
Asta grimaced when he did not respond and complained. "Did you whisper something?!"
Natsu frowned when Asta shouted again. He had to massage his ears every day. Natsu started massaging his chin again in deep thoughts.
"Although the smell was almost non-existent, but was a feminine smell and something sinister... what was wrong with the animals here?"
Asta got another big drop of sweat when Natsu started whispering inaudible things to his ear.
Breathing a breath of air, Asta backed up ready to let go of everything he had. "NATSUUUU-".
His words were choked when a demolishing fist was clenched to his cheek. Flying through the air in the shape of a chibi, Asta hit a tree head on, making a huge noise.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"
Rising from the ground with blood on his head, Asta pointed his finger with his bloodshot eyes at a Natsu who was looking at him with a mischievous smile.
"Take out your Grimoire".
Asta immediately fell silent and watched Natsu's stretch as his Grimoire opened and surrounded himself with blazing fire.
Natsu looked up with a smile that called out a hunger for a fight.
He... was going to fight Natsu?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
There was no chance.
He was strong and very resilient, but Natsu was a madman who burned everything in his path just for fun. He was very different from Yuno, he wasn't going to hold back at all.
But...
"I won't give up either!" Asta thought with pure determination when he drew his anti-magic sword from his five-leaf Grimoire. Dark power surrounded the sword, ready to face danger. "Natsu may be strong, but I have a sword that can nullify magic!"
Asta was on his guard when a sword stance was marked on his body. He had learned it from an old nudist and it was time to put it to the test.
Natsu smiled proudly as his hand was covered with hellfire.
There was no account for the battle, only a crater where Asta once stood.
Asta roared when Natsu was thrown like a hungry beast. His hand grabbed the handle of her sword tightly when Natsu only smiled in response before hurling himself at him in the same beastly manner.
Asta had to contain a groan as the fist of fire struck the sword. He was able to move in time and interpose another blow from Natsu that went to his ribs.
Asta could sense a little of Natsu's bewilderment at having seen his magic disappear. Smiling, Asta tried to cut Natsu in half, but he just jumped back and when he fell to a squat, Natsu raised his head and looked at him with a wild smile.
Asta frowned at the arrogant smile on his face. "Use your spells!" Asta declared firmly in his voice. He wanted to see his true power.
Natsu smiled contentedly as his three-leafed Grimoire began to change leaves at an abnormal speed. "Don't blame me for what happens next!"
An infernal power erupted from Natsu's arm as he surrounded his right hand with fire. The heat burned like never before as the Dragon Slayer smiled with a tooth on his way out. Natsu rose to his knee ready to hurl himself towards Asta.
Asta sweated cold as he took a step backwards. He trembled a little at the pressure Natsu put upon him, but stood firm while he watched the fire in his arm with admiration.
His mana was more powerful than Yuno's.
"He... had so much power…."
Asta had to open his eyes in disbelief when Natsu came at him with inhuman speed. He could feel the hellish presence just inches away from him.
"Oh... I'm going to die..." Asta thought foolishly as his guard fell and a fist approached his face with brutality.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
After the incredible blow and impact that Natsu directed to Asta's face where a hellish fire came out, a curtain of smoke surrounded the area for a few seconds while it disappeared in the seconds.
There was a deadly silence.
After a few moments, Natsu was standing with his fist at the side of Asta's head while he had a shocked look and some scratches on his face from the fire. Carelessly, Natsu beat Asta's forehead like his fingers to wake him up from the shock.
Asta had to blink multiple times when he felt that he was still completely alive. A nervous laugh came from his throat as he began to touch all parts of his body to see if he was unharmed.
Natsu... had not hit him...
"Apparently you couldn't avoid it, or counteract it when you felt you were going to die". Natsu let out an annoying snort before crossing his arms. "You're going to be in a lot of situations that will endanger your own life if you try to be the Wizard King, so you need to get over that and more".
Asta looked at him in shock. "O-ohhh…"
"So..." Natsu's first hit Asta's forehead in an inspiring way while giving him a sideways smile, "turn hard to overcome that!"
Asta was confused when his brain tried to analyze and digest Natsu's words. After a few moments, he nodded firmly and confidently. "Of course, Natsu!"
Natsu put his hand away and clapped as his belly rumbled with hunger. "I took some wild boars to the church when I was on a tour, when you get hungry, go and join us!"
Asta had stars in her eyes as the drool fell from her mouth. "OH, YES. I WILL COME AT ONCE!"
Natsu smiled with pure savagery before turning around and walking to the church while rubbing his belly with hunger.
Asta smiled as he watched Natsu's back disappear into the bushes and trees at a slow pace.
He smiled when a memory came to his mind.
-FlashBack-
A small Asta spat out some blood while being kicked roughly by a demented old man. He tried to get up, but it was in vain when he received another fatal kick in his liver.
And one, who was witnessing this, had to cover his mouth with terror when blood and saliva came out of Asta's mouth.
This was never supposed to happen. He would go and deliver a note to a certain place and return to the church to eat with his family as usual.
But this was never in the plans.
After being cornered by a crazy old man who snatched his necklace and beat him a couple of times, Asta showed up and fought bravely to defend him. And one started to cry while thinking how to help Asta as quickly as possible.
"When are you going to give up, brat?!" The old fool kicked Asta again in terror of a weak little Yuno.
Asta smiled still in pain. "Ha...ha...ha... I will never surrender..."
The old man clicked his tongue in annoyance at his words as he began to emit fire magic into his hand. "Then die."
"Karyū no Tekken!"
A fire magic concentrated in the hand of a pink boy struck the old man's cheek directly and surprisingly as the fire burned his skin completely. The old man was thrown into the air with disbelief in his face because of the blow he had received.
Who the hell hit him?!
The young pink-haired boy broke the floor in a high jump and lunged at him with flames on his two feet as a deadly look was cast on his face. "Karyū no Kagitsume!"
Natsu kicked the man so hard that it caused an absurd amount of blood to flow from his mouth. Being directed towards the ground, the old man created a crater when his body touched the cement while creating a giant dust smoke.
Yuno and Asta looked at this in shock before appreciating Natsu falling from the air with fury in his eyes. After touching the ground, Asta and Yuno observed the look of death in Natsu's eyes.
"If you ever touch my family again," Natsu whispered with hatred as his eyes grew even colder, "there won't be any ashes left of your body".
As the smoke spread, you could see the figure of a man looking at the back of his own head with white eyes as blood streamed from his nose and mouth. The part of his right cheek was completely burned and the teeth could be seen.
After seeing if the demented old man was still alive, Natsu turned his gaze to the boys before focusing on a Yuno who was looking at him in surprise, but had an excited glow in his eyes. Natsu smiled wildly and raised his hand in a fun blue necklace.
Asta was silenced by the shock as he watched the man who could not even make a defeated scratch on the floor like a cockroach. Was this the power of magic? Was this the power Natsu had?
He felt weak, frustrated, and terrified, but he also had some emotion in his being as he watched the crater where the old man rested.
He wanted to overcome that power... he wanted to become someone like his brother who protected his family and others.
He would overcome that... and protect everyone like Natsu.
-End of Flashback-
His mind returned to reality itself. Asta sighed wearily as he put his sword on his shoulder and turned around. His eyes witnessed what was behind him.
The exploration of fire took almost an acre of the forest as the fire swept through everything in its path and living beings ran desperately to avoid falling into the panties of the fire produced by the Dragon Slayer.
Asta was not scared, he just smiled with determination.
He would come to that and many more... because Natsu... was also his rival.
They had spent six months in intensive training for the magical knight exams. Yuno, Natsu and Asta trained like never before for this moment. It was a sunny day in Hage, and today would be the departure day for the trio of brothers.
Natsu had large luggage on his back while yawning noisily and wiping his eye with sleep. Yuno looked at him blankly as he carried his own small luggage.
"You didn't sleep at all, did you?" Yuno asked.
"Did you hear me snoring last night?" Natsu answered with a question.
Yuno was completely silent as a drop of sweat slowly fell from his forehead. "You have a point".
Meanwhile, Asta had a smile on his face as his luggage rested on his shoulder. He only smiled at his adopted family.
"Don't forget to write to us, kids," the father said and smiled happily.
"Have a good trip!"
"Be careful with the animals".
Nash smiled and put his hands on his head. "Don't worry, Asta will be back in a while".
Asta felt his skin color fade as Natsu laughed behind him. Asta looked sternly at his little brother. "Nash!"
"But...", Nash commented with some enthusiasm as he approached Asta, "if there is a possibility that you will enter a squadron of magic knights..."
Natsu and Yuno looked at each other in confusion before turning their gaze to Nash.
Asta blinked in confusion, "Yes?"
Nash clenched his fists of determination. "I too will believe in the possibilities and trust that I too can become anything I set my mind to and one day I will join a squad!"
"No... better forgotten..." Nash whispered embarrassingly as he avoided Asta's smile.
"We'll be waiting for you," Natsu said with a smile as Asta nodded firmly.
"Well, I'm leaving". Yuno began to walk, already a little tired of the typical goodbyes
"Bye, bye". Natsu followed Yuno's steps as he raised his hand in farewell and walked towards the capital.
"You damn bastards! Don't leave without me!" Asta ran towards them before saying a last goodbye to his adopted family who were looking at him with pride. "Goodbye, guys!"
"Don't let the magic boars eat you!"
"Goodbye!"
"Bye!"
"Natsu, don't make them extinct, please!" Sister Lily certainly cried out in concern.
Everyone laughed at the request as Natsu rolled his eyes and grumbled in annoyance. But after all, he laughed and shook his head before walking with Asta and Yuno a few feet and being completely away from the church and the people of Hage.
"COME ON, GUYS!" Asta roared with all his might with pure determination and enthusiasm, but before he said another word, he was hit on the head by Natsu.
...
"You can't be serious..." Yuno sighed in disappointment as Asta was buried completely in the ground by Natsu's blow. Natsu's eyes were round with weariness.
"Instinct," Natsu declared with annoyance as he rubbed his left ear.
"You are an animal..." He whispers in pain from the small crater before pulling his head out of the ground with stars in his pupils while his hair was full of dirt. "BUT NOW I'M MORE ENERGETIC! LET'S HURRY, THE CAPITAL IS FAR AWAY!"
At an absurd speed, Asta began to run towards an undetermined destination.
"Are you serious?" Yuno asked with fatigue in his voice before receiving a few taps on his back. Yuno had the urge to roll his eyes when Natsu smiled at him before starting to run after Asta.
"You better hurry, Yuno! You don't want to LOSE against your rival!"
Yuno rolled his eyes with a small frown. "You two..."
Asta ran with a silly smile on his face as he laughed, "Surely they can't catch me!" Asta thought with a proud smile before turning back.
"Stop running so much!" Yuno shouted with annoyance in his voice. He was behind a mocking Natsu as he began to eat Asta's heels.
"WHAT?!" Asta's eyes popped out of their sockets as he watched Natsu come closer to him with a funny smile. Squeezing his buttocks tightly, Asta swallowed a breath of air before screaming. "I WILL NOT LOSE!"
From that day on, the adventures of Natsu, Asta and Yuno began on their way to becoming the Wizard King. They went through difficulties on the way, from fog, desert, and wild animals that wanted to eat them, but ended up being eaten by them. After so much effort, finally they were able to reach the closest thing to the capital where the very Wizard lived and lived.
"So, here it is".
Natsu guessed as he crossed his arms and observed the kingdom that was built on a giant mountain. The birds were flying on the top of the kingdom. Natsu could feel the amount of natural mana surrounding the giant capital.
Standing on a hill next to Natsu, Asta hunched over with happiness as he watched with stars in his pupils. "It's bigger than I imagined! That's the capital?!"
Yuno only nodded in agreement before looking at his two traveling companions. "Hurry up, we have to get to the exams quickly".
"Hai!" Asta shouted with determination before starting to run up the hill while dodging the rocks. "I will become the Wizard King!"
Yuno smiled at his rival's determination before he started running after him.
Natsu was silent as he watched the sky and the sun's rays fall on the clover capital. Moving his neck noisily with a snort, Natsu smiled and began to run after them as well.
End of Chapter.
This was a chapter to just give you a point of view of what Asta and Yuno think of Natsu.
The next chapter will follow the Cannon and I have it almost finished.
Well, I hope you liked it!
Goodbye!
