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.

It's the first round of the second stage of the Royal Knights Selection Exam.

Sol's attack left Mimosa unable to move.

Asta was forced to face off with Magna, who came to attack their crystal on his own.

Also...

What do you think you're doing without me?

Crap! I'm not gonna be able to take both of them on!

The one who saved Asta was a mysterious mage named Xerx.

Attack the cherry blossom guy, you little shit!

I'll take care of this in an instant!

And that instant's all I need!

With the help of Mimosa's plant spell that lets her control the enemy's movements,

Asta and the rest of B Team were able to claim victory.

And now, the destined battle between the brothers Finral and Langris is about to begin.

Special Little Brother vs. Failed Big Brother

There you go.

Th-Thank you, Vanessa.

That's perfect! You look awesome!

Could you do mine, too?

You already lost, though.

It looks fine. You look like the failure that you are.

What?! Who're you calling a failure?!

Now, now. Try to stay calm, Magna.

Like a loser should.

You bastard! I'm gonna kill you!

I'm so gonna kill you!

Good! Let's do this now!

Wait, you guys—

As I thought, that guy is a very skilled flame magic caster.

The lightning guy is also one to look out for.

I know.

Luck is trying to cheer him up...

La, la. Gimme more noms.

My, aren't you a hungry little one?

Marie... Marie... Always Marie.

What's going on over there?

The Black Bulls, huh?

I guess bulls will be bulls.

Come on, you guys, stop! This is embarrassing!

Why are you so stiff?

I'm sure this next match

will be complicated for you, given who you're up against.

Uh... Y-Yeah, I guess.

Not to mention, I've never beaten my little brother in anything.

Don't worry.

I've fought alongside you, so I know.

You changed after meeting Asta.

The same goes for me.

I was able to face something hidden deep within my heart that I'd been ignoring.

You're not going to lose so easily now.

Now get out there and show everyone how cool you are. Just like your hair.

Vanessa...

You've got this, Finral!

Don't lose like Magna, and come fight me.

Yeah! Don't lose like— The hell did you say?!

I-I'm rooting for you, too!

You've got this. You've got this. You've got this. You've got this. You've got this. You've got this...

You'd better not embarrass the rest of the squad.

Yeah.

Charmy... Even Gauche.

Thanks, you guys. I'm so happy I joined the Black Bu—

Please, more noms.

I want to see Marie as soon as possible, so win this in one second.

But I have seniority...

I'm sure Captain Yami's cheering you on from the base, too.

Yeah. He seemed a bit antsy this morning.

He said his stomach was acting up, but...

I'm sure he just wants to see you work hard even without his help.

Those guys must be going beyond their limits and kicking ass right about now.

I'm kicking ass, too.

This one's gonna be a killer.

And damn it, kid! I told you to restock the damn toilet paper!

Good grief. As if you could actually defeat me, Brother.

Langris, I managed to change after meeting my friends.

We'll be the ones who win this.

Whatever. Don't blame me for whatever happens, all right?

Would you let me handle him?

I don't see why not.

A battle between brothers, eh?

I also want to fight my brother for real one day.

I accept your passionate request!

Bah-ha!

I'm going to burn the image of me gallantly riding

my Shooting Star into everyone's eyes!

You will not lay a single finger on our crystal!

It's finally starting!

Now I'm getting nervous.

Finral, I know you can win this.

And now,

E Team: Leopold, Hamon, and Finral versus G Team: Langris, Fragil, and Sekke.

Fragil

Langris

Sekke

G Team

Leopold

Finral

Hamon

E Team

Round two of stage two, begin!

You two concentrate on destroying the enemy crystal.

Leave it to me.

Let's find out where it is.

Glass Magic: Verre Détection.

I can see every inch of this battle stage as the light reflects off the glass.

It will take a little while, but I will definitely be able to find the enemy's crystal.

I expect you to take me all the way to the enemy base again, Mr. Bah-ha.

Leave it to me! Also, I'm Sekke.

Please call me Sekke.

You can even call me Sek, bah-ha.

Understood, Mr. Bah-ha.

Bah-ha. No, really, it's Sekke!

Please call me Sekke!

You brought shame upon the House of Vaude.

There's no way you can defeat me, Brother.

You see, you aren't my child.

So the only one that I love is my dear little Langris.

Mother, it's a bit cruel to be so blunt.

What is that pathetically weak spell?

Learn from Langris's attack spells!

Goodness.

I see my dear little Langris is better than you at both academics and sports.

You're so amazing, my dear little Langris.

As I should expect from my own child.

What are you doing, Finral?

You disgrace the Vaude name!

How pathetic. He's older than me, but there's not one thing he can do better than me.

What? A fiancée?

Yes.

Finnes Calmreich

This is Lady Finnes, the fiancée of the next head of the House of Vaude.

Good day to you.

Her chronic illness keeps her from going out often,

but the king is her great uncle, so she comes from a prestigious family

and has splendid magic.

So basically, in the future, this woman and I will...

Ugh. What a dull-looking woman.

My dear little Langris, make sure you get along with her.

She's going to be your bride someday.

Of course!

Seriously... When I become the lord of this house,

I'll be able to bring us fame like they've never seen.

Ugh... I'm so bored.

I'm very sorry that you got stuck with a fiancée who's sickly and older than you.

N-Not at all! You're b-b-beautiful, Miss Finnes.

It's just... I'm not the one who'll become the next head of the House of Vaude.

Huh?

My little brother is better at everything than me,

so he'll be able to make you happy.

His magic is amazing, and he's a very decisive person.

I'm just a failure.

Exactly. There's not a single thing he can beat me i—

That's not true.

Huh?

I've only met you a few times, but I can tell.

You're a very kind person.

To me, you're a much more wonderful mage, Finral.

O-Oh, stop! D-Don't tease me like that!

Oh, but I wasn't teasing you at all.

Who do you think you are, you dull woman?

You have the nerve to call me inferior to my brother?

Don't be ridiculous.

That loser left the family because he couldn't handle the pressure.

He's not better than me at anything! Not a single thing!

Bah-ha! Found it!

Here he comes. As we planned, we'll leave him to you, Finral.

Just as a reminder... Don't blame me if you lose any limbs.

I'll end this in a single blow!

What?!

I tested this out earlier with another spatial magic user, Cob, and found out...
