Black Clover (ブラッククローバー)

The Clover Kingdom.

In this kingdom where magic is everything,

there is one boy who can't use magic.

His name is Asta.

With guts and hard work, he made it into the Magic Knights,

and he never gave up, despite how much he got hurt.

He continues to diligently aim for the top!

Even if you are a peasant,

or even if you're poor...

Anyone in this world can still shine!

He's working hard to prove that,

and to become the Wizard King!

Yuno, we're family, right?

Yeah.

But we're not related by blood.

Yeah...

But we're closer than anyone who's related by blood, aren't we?

What brought all this on?

What I'm saying...

is that we don't have any blood relatives,

but all of the friends we've met,

and all of the friends we'll meet someday,

are people we should treasure as family.

Yeah.

The Golden Family

Golden Dawn Headquarters

Ah, are you here to deliver your reports, as well?

Yes. We just returned from Kiten.

Member of the Golden Dawn Shiren Tium

Member of the Golden Dawn Hamon Caseus

Ah, yes. Kiten is famous for

being a gourmet town, due to the Diamond Kingdom's influence there.

Member of the Golden Dawn David Slower

Member of the Golden Dawn Letoile Becquerel

For real? I wish I could've gone there instead of patrolling the royal capital.

Member of the Golden Dawn Alecdora Sandler

This isn't a game, David.

Yuno, aren't you tired from these back-to-back missions?

I'm fine.

Getting enough calories is important at times like this.

Would you like one?

I'm fine.

This conversation's going nowhere.

There's that insolent attitude of his again.

After insisting he was going to be the Wizard King,

he earned more merit during the Eye of the Midnight Sun conflict,

and now he's grown even more impudent.

If only I hadn't been possessed by an elf, I could've helped Lord Vangeance!

You were just lucky! That's it!

The captain is waiting. Let's go.

Sure.

Yuno, why not try to be a bit friendlier?

What? I am, though.

He doesn't even realize it.

I know... Why not try to smile more when speaking, or throw in a joke here and there?

I know I'm the one who just suggested it,

but I can't even picture you doing that myself.

I apologize.

Sure.

Looks like we have a long road ahead of us.

Indeed.

But that cool side of Yuno is what makes him so amazing!

Thank you all for your reports.

Klaus, Mimosa, Yuno...

We've received thanks yet again from the people of Kiten.

Captain of the Golden Dawn William Vangeance

Vice Captain of the Golden Dawn Langris Vaude

It looks like you did well.

Yes, sir.

You honor us with those words.

Now, I realize that you've just come back,

but I have another mission for you.

It seems a herd of wild boars has come down from the mountains

to Saussy Village, putting it in danger.

I'd like to send another squad there, but everyone else is already out.

Allow me to handle it! I can handle wild boars on my own!

If they were regular wild boars, perhaps.

According to reports,

the wild boars near Saussy Village are magical beasts covered in flames.

The villagers are anxious.

I'd like all of you to go there as a squad and take care of the situation.

I will have Alecdora lead this mission.

Yes, sir!

I'm counting on all of you.

Yes, sir!

I don't care who or what we're up against!

Saussy Village

I will earn more merit than you!

T-To think that the Golden Dawn would come to our rescue.

I guess it's not the Black Bulls...

Yeah. I was hoping to see Asta again.

You know Asta?

Yeah!

Asta, Noelle, and Magna protected this village from the bad guys!

Come to think of it, Saussy Village was the place

where the Eye of the Midnight Sun was first sighted.

But did you know? The Black Bulls beat up some wild boars, too!

Oh? Then why don't we make a little bet?

Let's see who can beat up more wild boars: the Golden Dawn or the Black—

David.

We've heard the boars are covered in flames and very dangerous.

Yes, and they've grown even more violent than last time.

We just don't know what to do anymore.

Yikes, what's that?

I sense a powerful mana from them that's unique to magical beasts.

The villagers stand no chance against them.

Shiren, get us a closer look.

As you wish.

Stone Creation Magic: Stone Model of the World.

We'll split up and take care of those things before they harm the villagers.

Yes, sir!

Please wait.

If we don't find out what caused them to grow violent,

the same thing will happen again.

He does bring up a fair point.

Know your place, Yuno!

It is I that Lord Vangeance put in charge of this mission, not you.

If merely defeating them would suffice,

the Black Bulls would be capable of that, too.

Why, you...

Y-Yuno...

If you feel that strongly about it, then prove it!

The rest of us will wipe out the boars!

Yes, sir.

Roger!

Let us make a grand entrance.

So what do you plan on doing?

There's something I want to find.

Mimosa...

Y-Yes?

Sand Magic: Suppressing Sand Mass!

I am quite curious as to how these creatures taste.

Dice Magic: Gambler's Fallacy.

A one, eh? Too bad.

I guess this is enough for you guys, though.

Wind Magic: Crescent Moon Sickle!

Steel Magic: Blazing Spiral Lance!

There's an area just ahead where mana is highly concentrated.

Let's go.

Right.

It looks like that fruit is what's causing all this.

I see. No wonder they've turned violent.

We'll have to get rid of all the trees that bear this fruit.

All right. You and I will take care of the trees in this area.

Mimosa, try to find out if there are any trees with the fruit around here.

Of course.

I was worried about what might happen earlier, but...

If it's to protect the people,

he's willing to defy his superiors to do what he needs to do.

I doubt he even realizes he showed any defiance.

Thank you so much, knights of the Golden Dawn!

I can't believe you even tracked down the reason these things went berserk!

Now we probably won't need to trouble you again!

I'm glad to hear that.

You think you got one up on me, do you?!

What in the world are those collars?

Aren't they adorable?

Apparently they decided to keep the boars that have now calmed down.

Tell Asta, will ya?

I want him to know I'm training real hard with my magic!

I'm gonna become a Magic Knight, so he has to become the Wizard King!

Okay. I'll be sure to tell him.

But it's not Asta who's going to become the Wizard King. It's me.

Wait, really?

Well done, everyone.

Now the villagers won't have to live in fear anymore.

I'd like you to be able to relax now, but I have an urgent mission.

A newly-appeared dungeon has been occupied by someone.

It is located near the Diamond Kingdom's border.

It's near Kiten.

There are reports that people have seen Spade soldiers fighting in this area.

We can't deny that the Spade Kingdom may be involved.

This is an emergency,

but as long as the chaos continues in the kingdom, I cannot make a move.

Langris, I'd like you to take the lead if you can.

I'd love to, but my wounds have yet to heal.

Why not let someone else handle it?

I see. If you insist.

Alecdora, I ask that you take the lead once again.

Yes, sir!

This time I'll prove once and for all

that I am the one more useful to Lord Vangeance!

Are you sure Alecdora was the right choice?

What do you mean?

I was just thinking there's another candidate who may be more qualified.

And who might that be?

I heard that he was able to wrangle countless Magic Knights

from around the kingdom in mere moments during the battle

with the Eye of the Midnight Sun.

He also has plenty of talent and the skill to lead.
