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!

The Magic Knights Squad Captains

held a meeting to decide who would go train in the Heart Kingdom.

From the Black Bulls, Asta, Nero, Luck,

Finral, and Noelle.

From the Golden Dawn, Mimosa.

From the Crimson Lion Kings, Leopold.

From the Blue Rose Knights, Charlotte nominated herself.

And Rill from the Aqua Deer also nominated himself.

These were the members who were about to train with the Spirit Guardians.

At the special decoration ceremony that followed...

Those who shone brightest in the battle against the Eye of the Midnight Sun,

Leopold, Sol, and Mimosa, were promoted.

Also...

Yuno of the Golden Dawn,

you have been promoted to 1st Class Senior Magic Knight.

Yuno was promoted to 1st Class Senior Magic Knight.

And then, the king decided he had to have his way...

With my authority as king, I give Sekke...

the title of 1st Class Senior Magic Knight!

F-First Class Senior Magic Knight?!

What the bah-ha?!

And Sekke was also promoted to 1st Class Senior Magic Knight.

Meanwhile, there was a member of the Black Bulls

who was fretting over the fact that he wasn't picked to go to the Heart Kingdom.

Please! Let me go!

I'm a true man, and I can't be left behind again!

Even if you tell me not to go, I'm going to go!

You up to that?

Yes, sir!

Who the hell cares about how much mana you have?!

I'll surpass the limits of a peasant!

Fine. I'll try asking Julius.

Back at the Golden Dawn's headquarters,

not everyone was happy about the fact that Yuno was

promoted to 1st Class Senior Magic Knight...

The Golden Dawn's Headquarters

So Yuno's a 1st Class Senior Magic Knight now.

That's the same rank as Vice Captain Langris.

The kid's only been in our squad for about a year.

Yes, but I can't say I'm surprised, given how powerful Yuno is.

Vice Captain Langris hasn't been

on a mission since what happened with the Eye of the Midnight Sun.

That probably means Yuno's going to be the next vice captain.

Everyone in our squad is talking about that right now.

I'm sure they are.

Langris and Yuno... They're both amazing mages,

but if we're talking about who's actually fit to be vice captain...

V-Vice Captain Langris!

H-Hello! Are you out for a walk?

It is a lovely day for a walk, isn't it?

Please enjoy!

Farewell!

That probably means Yuno's going to be the next vice captain.

Vice Captain Langris Vaude

Don't you think it's about time?

Time for?

For you to resume your duties as vice captain.

Our battle with the Spade Kingdom draws near.

I'd like you to watch over the squad mem—

May I just...

have a little more time?

Has my brother contacted you lately?

Look at these.

Letters?

Finral could just use his spatial magic to come visit.

But he's been regularly delivering letters to me.

I'm sure he believes that distancing himself from you

is a part of his training.

What? Did you catch a cold?

Looking cute again today, Noelle!

Why don't we get some tea—

You'll never break your curse this way, Finral!

So what has he been writing in his letters?

That he'll be going to the Heart Kingdom to train soon.

He actually told you that?

If he's having to go to another kingdom to train,

does that mean there's another big battle drawing near?

Huh?

I tried asking Finral personally...

Since, you know, he's terrible at keeping secrets.

Langris?

There's nothing for you to worry about, Miss Finnes.

Is something on your mind?

You're terrible at keeping secrets.

You and Finral really are alike.

Please don't compare me to him!

I'm sorry.

N-No... I should apologize.

Are you all right?

Yes.

You should head back inside. I'll take my leave, as well.

Don't worry. It's just my usual cough.

Well, despite how I may look, I am rather busy.

Oh, did you return to your duties as vice captain, then?

Thank you for the tea.

Check.

So that's your play.

See? I told you that you should've bet on Shiren.

The game isn't over yet.

Say, Yuno! Isn't today a perfect day for a date?

Where should we go? I'm okay with wherever.

Hey, are you listening?

Vice Captain Langris...

Hey, you!

Just because you're jealous of Yuno and me doesn't mean you need to scowl like tha—

Do you need something?

I'd like to spar with you.

You're a 1st Class Senior Magic Knight now, aren't you?

As another 1st Class Senior Magic Knight, let's see if you're qualif—

All right.

Yuno?

W-Wait, Yuno!

Vice Captain Langris, I ask that you calm down, too!

You calm down, Klaus.

I'm not trying to pick a fight.

Come in.

Please excuse me.

Vice Captain Langris has asked Yuno to spar with him.

Langris did?

I have a bad feeling about this. I hope nothing happens.

You can count on me, Yuno!

You don't need to hold back!

A normal sparring session is no fun.

How about we agree that the loser...

leaves the Golden Dawn?

Honestly, what a vulgar bunch.

You should be more careful about who you associate with, Yuno.

Aren't you embarrassed to be seen with them?

Why?

I've never thought that, not even once.

I'm proud of Asta, and he's my rival.

Rival? That guy?

Rival in what? Are you guys competing for something?

Yeah...

We're both working to become the Wizard King!

What's your problem?! I won't allow you to make fun of Yuno—

There's no rule that says commoners can't become the Wizard King.

Huh?

So first, I'll become the Captain of the Golden Dawn.

I see. Meaning you're completely ignoring my existence as vice captain.

You mentioned that before you became the Wizard King,

you'd become the Captain of the Golden Dawn, didn't you?

If you win, then I, the vice captain, will leave.

Meaning you'll be another step closer to captain.

Not a bad deal, right?

Let's just get started.

That's like adding fuel to the fire.

This probably won't be over quickly.

Yes.

There will definitely be blood.

Who are you betting on?
