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.

The Man Named Fanzell Continued

Fanzell Kruger: the former instructor of the Diamond Kingdom's magic soldiers,

who also happened to be the one who taught Asta how to use his sword.

You're following up too late with your left foot.

If you're going to attack consecutively, don't pause between each slash.

Got it!

Some time had passed since they met,

and Asta was gravely injured in the battle against the Diamond Kingdom's assassin,

Mars, in the dungeon exploration mission.

Noelle was gathering nourishing herbs that would help him recover faster.

Herbs, herbs...

Here we go!

Hey, you, silver-haired girl...

Yes, you. You have a second?

There's something I'd like to ask you.

Do you have a sec?

I just want you to let me see for a second. Just a quick second.

Just a tiny bit.

Why, you...

Huh?

...pervert!

Wait! I promise I'm not someone suspicious!

Just for a second!

You're obviously very suspicious!

Damn it, what's all that racket?

Get away from me!

I can't get any sleep.

Lady Noe?

La?

Please stop!

You've got it all wrong.

Just for a second, miss... I'm even willing to pay.

"Pan" and "pants" might sound similar, but pants aren't edible! La!

You poor girl, running into a pervert like that.

There, there...

You twisted bastard. What were you trying to do to my squad member?

You better be thankful we didn't kill you.

Y-You've got the wrong idea.

I was the victim of a robbery, and...

No excuses!

Hey, let's fight some more! I haven't had enough yet!

Before he ever has a chance to appear in front of Marie...

I'll kill him.

Hello? Magic Knights HQ?

This is Finral, the hottie from the Black Bulls.

We've apprehended someone suspicious, so we're coming to hand him over to you.

Wait! Please, wait! Honestly, this is all a mistake!

I'm not falling for that. I only use bait when I'm fishing.

Uh, I don't know much about fishing, but...

Zell?

That voice...

Asta!

What are you doing here, Zell?

I see.

So you were able to join the Magic Knights.

Congratulations.

Oh, so it was just a misunderstanding.

To think that you really were robbed...

You should've said so earlier!

I'm pretty sure you guys weren't going to listen.

Who cares about the minor details?

Eat up.

This is the kind of pan you can actually eat, la.

Thanks.

You're my new friend.

I want to know more about you. Let's talk into the morning.

Um, can I help you?

Zell, was it? Have we met before?

No, I'm pretty sure this is the first time we've ever met.

So what are you doing here, old man?

Oh, right.

Noelle, was it?

I'm truly sorry for scaring you.

I wanted to ask you about your wand.

My wand?

Yes.

I'm fairly certain that the wand

you're using was created by Domina, who I'm looking for.

Domina?

Isn't that your fiancée?

But the person who gave me this wand was named Code.

Right. It wasn't Domina.

So I was right. There's no doubt about it.

Her full name is Dominante Code.

Where'd you get that?

The black market in the castle city.

I see...

Thank goodness.

Thank goodness.

Old man! That means Domina's alive!

That's great! Hurry up and go see her!

Yeah, I will.

Thank you. Thank you!

I'll lead you there.

Thank you, Noelle.

Because of you, I should be able to reunite with someone very important to me.

Thank you so much.

I-I didn't do that much.

So, can I go, Captain?

Huh? Sure, why not?

Oh, but don't blab about us trying to get you arrested by mistake.

You actually just admitted you made a mistake.

Shut up.

Oh, yeah. Finral, take them to their destination with your spatial magic.

Then we're even.

I'm gonna take a dump and go to bed.

Sure.

Thanks.

Well, if I stick around too long, it'll make it harder to say goodbye.

See you, Asta.

It wasn't for very long, but I'm glad I got to see you again.

Let's meet again. And make sure you become the Wizard King!

Heck yeah! And you better live happily ever after!

Everyone, get down!

La!

Whoa, what? Are we being attacked?

They're probably the assassins who were after me.

I'll leave immediately.

The hell is this? Who do I need to kill for this, and how?

I don't see any movement.

Knowing Instructor Fanzell, I thought he'd come straight out.

Let's see how things play out.

Diamond Kingdom Assassination Squad Commander Galleo

Squads 1 through 4, maintain formation and advance.

Squads 5 and 6, stand by.

Is that building some kind of apartment complex?

I'm not sure. I'm going now.

Commander Galleo, could you use your spatial magic?

For insurance, just in case this surprise attack fails, huh?

I don't think that's necessary, but fine.

We'd be a laughing stock if a plan like this actually failed.

What's with the glare? Did you forget who let you live?

I know I owe you my life.

Don't forget it.

So I'd like to give you some advice.

My instructor...

is very strong.

Scout from Unit 1 reporting. We're within twenty meters of the building.

All right, prepare to attack.

There's the target. Don't let him get away. After him!

Lightning Creation Magic: Thunderbolt Destruction!

Flame Magic: Prison Death Scattershot!

Hey, what the hell? Our surprise attack actually worked.

Maybe these guys aren't so strong after all.

That works for me. Looks like there are plenty of them,

so let's have them play with us until their kneecaps shatter!

Squads 1 and 2, continue pursuing the target.

Are you the commander?

I'm going to end this quickly so I can go see Marie.

Mirror Magic: Reflect Refrain!

Wh-What is this magic?

Guess I'll get things started.

Darkness Magic: Dark Cloaked Lightless Slash!

None shall ever lay a finger on my food.

Don't go too overboard. Make sure you leave some for me.

That water barrier...

It wasn't created to stop our attacks,

but so their own magic wouldn't destroy the place.

You the commander?

You're Fanzell!

Don't! You can't lay a finger on me!

Don't you care what happens to the hostage?

Hostage? Who?

Dominante Code... Mariella's heading to her now.

Did you think we didn't know where Code was hiding?

Now, let go of me, or—

Man, the captain's amazing.

To think he was exactly right about what's going on.

What?

My teammates are heading out to protect

Domina via spatial magic as we speak.

They've probably already found her.

Wh-Who are you?

Just how long does it take you to come get me, you worthless fiancé?!

How dare you leave a delicate flower like me alone for so long?!

Dominante Code

I... was so worried! I was afraid you were hurt!

You're kind of hurting me right now...

Thank you, young lady.

I never thought you'd do this much for me just because I gave you a little extra.

Looks like Bruce was right about you.

I'm not so sure about that...

And you must be Asta.

Huh? How do you—

You look as gutsy as I've heard!

Who told you that?

Who?

You're Mariella!
