Black Clover: Power Magic

[Training 5]

[Completed]

[You have gained a small improvement to avoid falling asleep so quickly]

'What a great achievement.'

I was lying in a crib, having just barely completed the same training of resisting sleep five times, though I wasn't sure if it was actually working.

'Two days, time passes so slowly.'

[Do you wish to stop the training?]

'Is this training even working?'

[Of course]

[Previously, you could resist for 10 seconds. Now it has increased to 15 seconds.]

'So, it only increased by 1 second per training session?'

[Exactly]

At that moment, I heard the door open, so I looked over and saw a child staring at me.

He slowly approached and touched my cheeks with his finger.

"How cute."

'What's with this guy? I don't want him touching me.'

I tried to swat his hand away, but I didn't have enough strength to push it off.

Suddenly, he grabbed me and tucked me under his arm.

"I have to show you to the others!"

He started running with me under his arm, which made me feel dizzy.

'I'm going to throw up.'

[Training 6]

[Resist your urge to vomit]

'This is bullshit!'

After a few minutes, I was surrounded by a bunch of damn kids who started poking my face, which I didn't like at all.

"Hey, why isn't he laughing?" one of the kids asked.

"Maybe he's hungry."

The kids started discussing what to give me until one of them handed me a piece of bread.

'Are you guys stupid? I just got over my nausea because of this brat.'

[Training 6]

[Completed]

[You have gained a small improvement against nausea]

'You know what? I would've preferred being born in a bigger body instead of being a baby.'

[If you want, your consciousness can be frozen for a certain period of time. Your body will continue acting normally until the set time passes and your consciousness returns.]

'How long can it be frozen?'

[A maximum of 5 years is recommended, as any longer would result in adopting too much of a child's behavior, potentially affecting your past memories.]

"You guys!"

A loud voice echoed through the area, and I saw a girl who looked much older than the rest.

'How old is she? Around 10 years old?'

"The Sisters are really worried because you took Regis!" the girl scolded them.

"B-But Helena, we just wanted to see him," one of the kids said.

'So her name is Helena… Hmm? What is that?'

Around Helena, I could see a strange, bright yellow aura.

'What a weird thing.'

"Do you know how worried the Sisters were when they saw that Regis was gone?"

"B-But…"

"No buts!" Helena scolded them.

She kept scolding the kids for several minutes before picking me up in her arms.

"I'll take him inside, and if you take him out again, I won't interfere if the Sisters decide to punish you."

She kept walking while carrying me, allowing me to get a better look at where we were.

It was a very clean place, and people were walking and flying on broomsticks.

'Yeah… Wait a second, are they flying on broomsticks?'

[Indeed. People in this world can fly using broomsticks.]

'This reminds me of Black Clover.'

[That's because it is.]

'What?'

[When you died, the last fantasy world you saw was Black Clover, so you were sent to that world.]

'So that aura I see around Helena is because of her magic?'

[Correct.]

'That changes everything… This is amazing! I can't wait to grow up!'

[Understood. Beginning consciousness freeze. Duration: 5 years.]

'W-Wait…'

I started feeling sleepy again, but before I completely blacked out, I saw another screen.

[So, granting an upgrade to the system would be the best course of action.]

[Awakening consciousness]

[Estimated time asleep: 5 years]

[Integrating past memories with new memories]

[Integration complete]

[Analyzing for any neural damage]

[No neural damage detected]

[Good morning, Regis]

Regis slowly opened his eyes, the sunlight hitting his face directly.

"The sun is too bright," Regis muttered.

He heard his own voice—it was quite childish.

"It really worked," Regis said.

He closed his eyes and recalled certain memories of his life as Regis.

"What happened?"

[That is because people generally start forming memories from the age of 3, so anything before that would be almost impossible to remember.]

[Additionally, since it is difficult to remember everything clearly, the system was designed to avoid overloading you with information and causing you to faint.]

He looked around and saw multiple beds, but they were all empty.

"Did they leave early?" Regis wondered.

He got out of bed and looked at his clothes, which consisted of gray pants and a red shirt.

"This feels weird."

He left the dormitory and looked around to see if anyone was nearby.

'It should be this way.'

Regis followed a path he had taken many times with the other kids, leading him outside the church.

He reached a small room with a window and was about to open it when he saw his reflection in the glass.

His hair was white, and his eyes were a deep blue.

"How curious."

He ignored his appearance for now and quickly opened the window, slipping out without looking back.

He ran for several minutes until he reached a small forest near the church.

"I think this is far enough," Regis said. "Hey, why do I have some kind of system? If this is Black Clover, it doesn't make sense for me to have one."

[That is because, in the past, people were granted wishes, but either they didn't know how to use them or they died because of them. So, it was decided that every reincarnated person would receive a system to help them survive in their new world.]

"And you help me with training that improves my body."

[And your mana as well.]

"Of course. Alright then, I want to start training."

[Understood. But before that, I'd like you to check the current state of your body.]

"My body? How?"

[Just say Status.]

"Status."

Name: Regis

-Strength: 3

-Agility: 2

-Vitality: 3

-Senses: 20

-Mana: 2

[This is your current physical state. Compared to normal children your age, you are below average.]

"How far below?" he asked, a bit concerned.

[The average stats for children your age range between 5 and 10.]

"That's way below average."

[However, you have an unusually high amount of Senses.]

"Twice the maximum a child can have… Is that because of you?"

[No, I only help you improve. Your stats come from your genetics.]

"Is there a limit to how much I can increase my stats?"

[Yes.]

Regis waited in silence for an answer, but the system said nothing.

"And what is it?" he asked, curious.

[The limit is whatever you decide it to be.]

Regis grinned and started stretching.

"I want to start training."

[Understood.]

[What type of training would you like?]

"What do you recommend? I don't know where to start."

[The most important thing is to increase your Strength, Agility, and Vitality first, then start with Mana.]

"Then let's do that."

[Training 7]

[Run 1 km]

"1 km, huh? I think I can do it."

He finished stretching and started running, determined to grow stronger as quickly as possible.

"First, I have to max out the stats for my age."

And with his first goal in mind, he began his training.
