Biography
Asta is an orphan since he was an infant where he was left at the doorstep of a church in Hage, alongside Yuno. Since then, he spends most of his childhood in the said church and growing up side by side with Yuno. One day, during their trip home from buying groceries, Asta overhears a couple of villagers coveting the lifestyle of those whom live at the Noble region. On this day, Asta learns the discrimination that the people of the Forsaken region received and reveals his intention to be the Magic Emperor for the first time. Sometime later, Asta sees a thug trying to take away Yuno's necklace and immediately steps in to get his friend's item back. He succeeds on his endeavour but left with injuries on all over his bodies. Fortunately, the sister of the church manages to help him with her magic. Years later, Asta can be seen confessing to the sister whom saved his life and quickly rejected. He keeps insisting even when the said sister forcefully silences him. He finally stopped when Yuno interjects him. After many failed attempts to show his skills while being overshadowed by Yuno, Asta storms away to train on his own. A few days later, a grimoire acceptance ceremony was held in a tower near Hage.

Unfortunately, Asta fails to receive his grimoire and consulted to try again next year. Later in the evening, Asta can be seen being left in daze after Yuno also brushed off his declaration of rivalry. In the distance, Asta sees that Yuno is in trouble and quickly steps in to save him. However, due to the lack of magical power, Asta is cornered by Lebuty whom is armed with a grimoire. Unable to retaliate, Asta can be seen submitting as his spirit is shaven off by Lebuty. He manages to regain his will to fight after Yuno reveals his respects of Asta during their time as children. Preparing to fight back, a grimoire suddenly flew towards Asta and gives a him a sword. Using his newfound power, Asta manages to defeat Lebuty and reinforce his promise with Yuno.

Six months later, Asta attends the Magic Knights entrance exam where he meets Yami Sukehiro, Finral Roulakes and Gordon Agrippa for the first time. During the exam, Asta did not manage to perform any of the task given to him in which resulted on him being followed around by a man named Sekke. At the end, during the combat test, Sekke asks Asta to be his partner in which Asta gladly accepted. Sekke then reveals his reason behind him choosing Asta for his partner in a condescending manner. Asta quickly defeats him while revealing his intention to become the Magic Emperor.

Unfortunately, due to his use of unfamiliar magic, none of the captains are willing to recruit him. The captain of the Black Bull then steps in to test Asta's determination. Asta manages to impress the said captain as he is offered a place in the squad. He then travels to the squad's headquarters via a spatial magic where he is introduced to the other members of the squad. One of the members, Magna Swing, decides to give Asta an initiation test to prove his worth for the squad. Asta manages to impress Magna when he deflects Magna's attack back towards him. Asta then receives his robe while Vanessa Enoteca branded his headband with the squad's insignia. After the test, while being taken on a tour of the headquarters, Asta had a chance meeting with Noelle Silva whom he learns to be the other new member of the squad. Asta tries to be friendly with her but quickly dismissed as she is of royal blood. Later that night, Asta finds Noelle while she is training on her own where he also witnesses her magic getting out of control. Asta is then ordered by Yami to stop her magic while throwing him towards it. He manages to save her and quickly shown his admiration over her immense magical power. He then encourages her to grow stronger alongside their squadmates in which she consented.

During meal time, Asta asks about the duty of a Magic Knight in which he is quickly being berated by Magna for his ignorance. Later on, Magna reveals to Asta and Noelle that their first mission would be a boar hunting in Sosshi village. He rejected the mission at first but quickly accepts it after being threatened by Yami. Asta then travels with Noelle and Magna to the village on Magna's broom because he cannot ride one himself and Finral is unable to transport them with his magic. Upon arriving, they discover that the village is covered in mist where Magna quickly asks Asta to cut a path for them. After reaching the center of the village, they find the villagers are being held hostage by a group of mages led by Heath. After Magna saves the villagers, Heath launches a second attack in which Asta manages to counter with his sword before confronting Heath for his actions. Asta begins his assault while tries to find out on Heath's reasoning for his actions. The answers that he got from Heath quickly infuriates him and claims that he will protect the villagers from him. Heath and his group launches a combination spell that keeps Asta and Magna occupied and unable to protect the villagers. Fortunately, Noelle casts a protection spell that shields all of them from their attacks. Asta quickly dashes towards Heath as soon as he sees an opening but fails to give an effective damage due to Heath dampens Asta's momentum by freezing his standing ground. He then begins to receive a lot of damage from Heath but manages to keep standing up. Magna then steps out of Noelle's spell and asks Asta to redo their initiation ceremony. Their strategy succeeds and Asta quickly delivers the final attack and defeats Heath.
