Black Clover (ブラッククローバー)

It appeared as though humanity would be destroyed by the demons.

But a single mage saved them all.

He was called the Wizard King, and he became a legend.

And so, we're giving you your first mission.

Our first mission...

...as Magic Knights.

Wh-What is it?

It had better be something worthy of me as a royal.

Yeah, you should be honored.

You'll be hunting wild boars in Saussy Village!

Wild...

...boars?

Boar!

What kind of lame mission is that?

What are you calling lame?!

I can beat a wild boar with my bare hands!

Don't you dare underestimate wild boars!

Are you going to go, or are you going to die?

Which will it be?

We'll go!

Even if it's just hunting wild boars, this is our first mission as Magic Knights.

I'm so excited!

I'm supposed to get rid of wild boars?

What? You're still complaining?

I'm not complaining... It's just...

I was just wondering if I should go, since I can't control my magical powers.

Her name is...

Crazy Cyclone!

Crazy Cyclone

So cool!

I know, right?! Isn't she a beaut?

Yeah, she is!

Lame.

A man never goes back on his word!

Here we go!

Fly!

Yahoo!

This is amazing, Magna! We're one with the wind!

And if you don't want to die, better squeeze up closer, Stupidsta!

Yes, sir!

So this is where the magic stone is located.

We're going to find it.

Yes, sir!

Be lost in the mist.

Beasts

Grey words can't make anything happen

I know, yeah I know

Wishing to fly freely across the sky

I dreamed it all my life

Step by step I go, though it's a doubtful world

Don't care how much I fall

Instinct is my guide, I never give up

To faraway future, I burst out running

Go beyond even the unseen fears

The vision I had, so I can be myself

Someday I will write the next page

You are my hope

Like that page from someday

I was able to meet you

I call this a miracle

A wild boar's after me! It's huge!

Actually, is that even a wild boar?!

Isn't it using some magic of its own?!

It's super fast!

Shouldn't we rescue him?

I'm taking a break.

My magical powers are pretty much drained after flying you two this far.

I'm sure he'll be fine. He's pretty tough.

But...

If you're so worried, you go save him.

I can do this.

Why me?!

I've got you now!

I finally got 'im.

Great job, Asta.

But it ain't over yet.

What a haul!

You're pretty amazing.

Three or four wild boars ain't nothing.

You've got some impressive brute strength.

This should make Old Man Seyhe happy. Let's have ourselves a wild boar party.

This mayor of Saussy Village... Seyhe? You know him?

Yeah. I've known him for a long time.

I'm from Rayaka Village, which is just past here,

but I used to be a bit of a handful when I was a kid.

Used to be?

Like you aren't now?

I got a big head after I got my grimoire

and went into Saussy Village with the intent of taking over, too.

And then...

Take that!

Hey, you little brat! What do you think you're doing?!

You wanna get hurt, old man?

You're the one that's gonna get hurt!

Take that!

Time for your punishment!

That's dangerous!

And now...

Wh-What the hell are you doing?

Time for an ass whoopin'!

Hey! Damn it!

Since then, I've challenged that old man many times.

Real men don't make trouble for others!

Take that!

Help the weak and humble the strong. That's what a true man does.

Golden!

Real men don't make others worry about them.

He whooped my ass every time.

He must be strong.

I found this out later, but Old Man Seyhe

had enough magical power that he aspired to be a Magic Knight when he was younger.

He's the one who suggested that I take the Magic Knights Entrance Exam.

Oh? Looks like you've improved a bit.

W-Well, I'm getting the hang of using my grimoire.

In that case, why don't you try taking the Magic Knights Entrance Exam?

Huh?

M-Me? Take the entrance exam?

You've got skill.

There's... no way that'll happen. I'm a commoner from the boonies.

Nothing's written in stone!

What does being from the boonies or being a commoner have to do with anything?

It's up to you to take hold of your own future.

I'm sure you'll be able to fulfill the dream I couldn't.

Old Man...

Be a man, Magna.

So what do Magic Knights do, anyway?

You don't even know that?!

It's all because of him that I'm here right now.

When I passed the Magic Knights Entrance Exam, he was happier for me than anyone.

He must be a nice person.

Yeah.

And he went to the royal capital...

well, to get rich quick so he could make some money for his village,

but I think he also came to see me.

He did take me for every bit of change I had, though!

But he's the one who showed me what a real man should be.

I wanted to be like him, the person I respect most after Mister Yami...

Magna?

The hell is that?!

The village...

It's covered in mist.

Wow, the weather sucks in that town.

You idiot! That's magic.

What?!

Saussy Village

A magical mist?

Once we enter it, we probably won't be able to get anywhere.

We'll lose our sense of direction and end up wandering around in the mist.

Magic that can cover a whole village...

None of the villagers have magic this strong.

Of course, this isn't Old Man Seyhe's magic, either.

What's going on?

Hey!

Yes, sir?

Cut through the mist with your sword.

Sure thing!

Huh?

That's a dumb thing to say. You can't cut through mist with a sword.

You're the dumb one!

Since it's magic, you can cut through it with your sword!

Oh, yeah!

Good. Now, let's go.

Right!

Take a right there.

Got it!

Take a left there.

Right!

You seem to know where you're going.
