    It appeared as though humanity
    would be destroyed by the demons.
[00:14] Nar
    But a single mage saved them all.
[00:26] Nar
    He was called the Wizard King,
    and he became a legend.
[00:34] Nar
    Asta and Yuno arrived at the royal
    capital of the Clover Kingdom.
[00:39] Nar
    Everyone in the kingdom dreams
    of becoming a Magic Knight.

    The Magic Knights Entrance Exam
    was about to begin.

[02:33] Asta
    Whoa, this is awesome!
[02:41] Asta
    Awesome!
[02:41] Grocer
    They're fresh!
[02:43] Butcher
    One sec. It's almost done roasting.
[02:47] Asta
    That looks so good!
[02:50] Asta
    Wow! They have so many different
    kinds of staves and items!
[02:53] Asta
    But they're so expensive!
[02:55] Yuno
    It's so different from our village.
[03:01] Asta
    Is that where the Wizard King is?
[03:04] Yuno
    And probably the king, too.
[03:07] Asta
    So that means that'll be my castle someday.
[03:12] Yuno
    You mean mine.
[03:14] Asta
    Don't worry. I'll let you live there, too.
[03:18] Yuno
    That's my line.
[03:23] Rebecca
    There, there. Don't cry. Let's hurry
    back and get ready to open up the shop.
[03:28] Asta
    Reminds me of everyone back at the church.
[03:32] Asta
    I'm sure Sister and the others
    are lonely now that I'm gone.
[03:36] Yuno
    Not a chance.
[03:38] Asta
    Hey, Yuno!
[03:39] Asta
    Hey!
[03:46] Nash
    Ah, it's so nice and quiet.
    What a relief to have Asta gone.
[03:52] Lily
    Oh, there you go again.
[03:54] Nash
    I-I really mean it!
[03:57] Lily
    They've probably reached
    the royal capital by now.
[03:59] Lily
    I hope the Magic Knights Exam goes well.
[04:04] Nash
    Me, too.
[04:05] Lily
    Huh?
[04:07] Nash
    N-Nothing!
[04:10] Lily
    Asta, Yuno...
[04:12] Lily
    Do your best.
[04:18] Asta
    So where do they hold the
    Entrance Exam, anyway?
[04:21] Yuno
    Probably over there.
[04:24] Yuno
    What is that?
[04:26] Asta
    Grilled purple snake. It was super cheap.
[04:30] Old lady
    Anyone want some grilled purple snakes
[04:32] Old lady
    that I just happened to
    catch somewhere or other?
[04:36] Asta
    Want some?
[04:37] Yuno
    No.
[04:38] Asta
    It's super nutritious and will
    give you lots of energy!
[04:41] Yuno
    Not a chance. Let's go. This way.
[05:00] Mob
    Do your best on the exam!
[05:02] Mob
    You are the Clover Kingdom's hope!
[05:05] Mob
    The future of the kingdom is in your hands!
[05:07] Mob
    Stay focused!
[05:08] Asta
    I'll do my best!
[05:11] Yuno
    You don't know him...
    You don't know him...
[05:18] Guy
    You're #163. All right, next.
[05:23] Yuno
    I'm Yuno from Hage Village.
[05:25] Guy
    Yuno from Hage...
    Could I see your grimoire?
[05:30] Guy
    A f-four-leaf clover...
[05:32] Guy 2
    So that's who everyone's talking about.
[05:35] Koza
    Hey, that grimoire...
[05:37] Gayaya
    Is it really a four-leaf clover?!
[05:39] Amy
    Wow...
[05:41] Guy
    You're #164. All right, next.
[05:45] Asta
    I'm Asta, also from Hage Village!
    Here's my grimoire!
[05:51] Guy
    This is pretty filthy.
[05:53] Guy
    Is this really a grimoire?
[05:55] Asta
    Huh? Of course it is! Take a good look!
[05:58] Asta
    See? See?
[06:00] Guy
    All right, all right...
[06:03] Guy
    You're #165.
[06:05] Asta
    Got it!
[06:07] Asta
    All right!
[06:09] Sekke
    Bah-ha! He must be a real go-getter if he
    came here all the way from the boonies.
[06:21] Synana
    Man, I'm getting really nervous.
[06:24] Bumoda
    Hey, ow! What the heck are these birds?!
[06:26] Tanoso
    The infamous anti-birds of the exam venue.
[06:29] Bumoda
    Really? These things?
[06:30] Tanoso
    The weaker your magical powers,
    the more these guys flock to you.
[06:34] Bumoda
    Little pests...
[06:37] Bumoda
    Hey, look at that guy.
[06:39] Bumoda
    None of the birds are going to him.
[06:42] Koza
    Hey! It's the guy from earlier.
[06:45] Bumoda
    From earlier?
[06:46] Gayaya
    He's from some remote village called Hage,
    yet he's got a four-leaf grimoire!
[06:51] Bumoda
    Wha... A four-leaf? Seriously?
[06:59] Asta
    One of us is going to become the Wizard King.
    Our legend's beginning now, Yuno!
[07:05] Koza
    Wha...
[07:06] Bumoda
    Become the Wizard King?
[07:09] Asta
    I'm gonna show you just how much
    I've grown in six months...
[07:13] Asta
    Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
[07:15] Asta
    What the heck are these birds?!
[07:18] Bumoda
    What's with that kid?
[07:19] Gayaya
    Talk about a loser!
[07:21] Koza
    That's pretty bad, even for
    someone from the boonies.
[07:24] Asta
    Get away from me, you stupid birds!
[07:30] Asta
    They finally flew off somewhere.
    Hey, sorry for bumping into you.
[07:34] Yami
    I'll kill you, brat.
[07:36] Asta
    What the heck's his problem?!
[07:38] Asta
    Oh, crap. He's got the eyes of a killer.
[07:40] Asta
    His neck's so thick! No mage looks like that!
[07:43] Asta
    Talk about an intimidating presence!
    Is he really my age?!
[07:47] Asta
    No, wait, wait... You shouldn't
    judge a book by its cover!
[07:51] Asta
    Be friendly. Just be friendly.
[07:54] Asta
    Man, you look old!
    You must've had a hard life!
[08:03] Yami
    It appears you're ready to die.
[08:07] Asta
    His looks weren't a lie at all!
[08:09] Finral
    Oh, there he is!
    What are you doing down here?
[08:13] Yami
    I'm about to end this little twerp's life.
[08:16] Synana
    H-Hey... Isn't that...
[08:19] Rooney
    Is that the great Finral Roulacase?
[08:22] Rooney
    The user of rare spatial magic?
[08:24] Finral
    Hey, you're cute.
[08:26] Tanoso
    He's famous for being so girl-crazy
    that it gets in the way of his duties!
[08:30] Koza
    And that's... Gordon Agrippa!
    The expert on incantation magic!
[08:35] Koza
    I heard that he's impossible
    to talk to... and also scary.
[08:41] Finral
    Whoa, cut it out! A Magic Knights Squad
    Captain shouldn't kill an exam candidate.
[08:46] Finral
    Why did you even come down here, anyway?
[08:49] Yami
    I went to take a dump and got lost.
[08:51] Koza
    Squad Captain? You mean he's...
[08:56] Bumoda
    The Lord of Destruction, Yami Sukehiro?!
[08:56] Yami
    Ten... Nine... Eight...
[08:58] Asta
    What're you counting down to?!
[09:00] Yami
    The end of your life.
[09:03] Amy
    Yami?! The Captain of the Black Bulls?
[09:06] Rooney
    The Black Bulls...
[09:08] Rooney
    The cost they incur in damages exceeds
    the successes they're credited for, right?
[09:12] Koza
    Apparently, there isn't a single
    decent Magic Knight on that squad.
[09:15] Gayaya
    A playboy and a guy who
    can't communicate... I see.
[09:19] Gayaya
    Yeah, I wouldn't want to join that squad.
[09:24] Asta
    I picked the wrong guy to mess with!
[09:26] Asta
    My head's seriously going to explode!
[09:35] Yami
    One...
[09:41] Finral
    Come on, the exam is about to start!
[09:48] Yami
    Guess you get to live a little longer, brat.
[09:51] Yami
    Better take good care of
    the life you just got back.
[09:54] Yami
    Or I'll kill you.
[09:56] Asta
    What?!
[09:59] Finral
    Bye!
[10:02] Gordon
    I wish the captain would kill me, too.
[10:07] Asta
    Man, that sucked.
[10:10] Sekke
    Bah-ha! You okay?
[10:13] Asta
    Y-Yeah...
[10:15] Sekke
    Must've been rough, having Captain Yami
    of the Black Bulls in your face like that.
[10:20] Sekke
    Oh, I'm Sekke. Sekke Bronzazza.
[10:24] Sekke
    Nice to meet you. Bah-ha!
[10:25] Asta
    I'm Asta! Nice to meet you!
SIGN    Captain of the Silver Eagles
    Nozel Silva
[10:46] Sekke
    That's the Captain of the
    Silver Eagles, Nozel Silva!
[10:52] Yuno
    That's...
[10:54] Asta
    ...one of the captains of
    the Magic Knights Squads.
[10:56] Asta
    That's some hairstyle! Isn't it hard
    to see with that thing in his face?
SIGN    Captain of the Crimson Lion Kings
    Fuegoleon Vermillion
[11:02] Sekke
    The Captain of the Crimson Lion Kings,
    Fuegoleon Vermillion.
[11:07] Sekke
    As the name "Crimson" suggests,
[11:08] Sekke
    he's a user of flame creation magic.
[11:11] Asta
    Whoa...
SIGN    Captain of the Green Praying Mantises
    Jack the Ripper
[11:13] Sekke
    The Captain of the Green Praying Mantises,
    Jack the Ripper.
[11:18] Asta
    What's a praying mantis?
[11:20] Sekke
    You know, a mantis. Like, the bug.
[11:22] Sekke
    Apparently, Captain Jack's severing
    magic can split the earth in two.
[11:26] Asta
    Whoa, that's awesome.
[11:28] Sekke
    But I don't want to be a mantis.
    Bugs are super lame.
SIGN    Captain of the Blue Rose Knights
    Charlotte Roselei
[11:35] Sekke
    The Captain of the Blue Rose Knights,
    Charlotte Roselei.
[11:40] Sekke
    She's so beautiful.
[11:42] Asta
    Yeah, but Sister Lily's prettier.
SIGN    Captain of the Purple Orcas
    Gueldre Poizot
[11:46] Sekke
    The Captain of the Purple Orcas,
    Gueldre Poizot.
[11:50] Asta
    That's all?
[11:51] Sekke
    I have no interest in seamy guys like him.
SIGN    Captain of the Coral Peacocks
    Dorothy Unsworth
[11:54] Sekke
    The Captain of the Coral Peacocks,
    Dorothy Unsworth.
[11:58] Asta
    Is she walking in her sleep?!
[12:00] Sekke
    Apparently, all she does is sleep.
[12:02] Asta
    Then how'd she become a captain?
[12:05] Sekke
    She probably has an amazing power
    you'd never expect her to possess.
SIGN    Captain of the Aqua Deer
    Rill Boismortier
[12:10] Sekke
    The Captain of the Aqua Deer,
    Rill Boismortier.
[12:14] Asta
    Isn't he pretty young?
[12:16] Sekke
    Captain Rill is nineteen, I heard.
[12:19] Asta
    Nineteen?! He's only four
    years older than me?
[12:22] Asta
    The path to becoming the Wizard King
    might be shorter than I thought!
[12:25] Sekke
    Bah-ha! Wizard King, eh?
    That's a pretty big dream.
[12:30] Sekke
    But for the next Wizard King...
[12:33] Sekke
    They say he's the most promising candidate.
[12:43] Sekke
    The Captain of the most powerful
    Magic Knights Squad, the Golden Dawn,
SIGN    Captain of the Golden Dawn
    William Vangeance
[12:48] Sekke
    William Vangeance.
[12:53] Sekke
    The members of his squad
    have utmost faith in him,
[12:55] Sekke
    and it's said that in the last battle,
[12:57] Sekke
    it was Captain William who
    took the enemy general's head.
[13:02] Koza
    If only I could get into the Golden Dawn...
[13:05] Koza
    The Silver Eagles would be great, too!
[13:07] Gayaya
    You idiot. Only royal and noble elites make
    it into the Golden Dawn and Silver Eagles.
SIGN    Captain of the Black Bulls
    Yami Sukehiro
[13:17] Yami
    Pain in the ass... Can't we
    just get this over with?
[13:22] William
    This is an important exam that will
    decide the futures of these youths.
[13:26] William
    We need you to take
    this a bit more seriously.
[13:28] Yami
    Yeah, yeah, Mr. Serious.
[13:32] Sekke
    The captains are all gathered in one place.
[13:35] Bg
    Wow...
[13:37] Nar
    It is said that each of the Magic Knights
[13:39] Nar
    Captains has the strength
    of a hundred mages.
[13:43] Nar
    One of these individuals will
    become the next Wizard King.
[13:48] Asta
    Where's the Wizard King?
[13:49] Sekke
    Bah-ha! The Wizard King wouldn't
    bother coming down to the exam.
[13:54] Sekke
    It's a miracle in itself that all the
    captains have gathered in one place.
[14:00] William
    Candidates.
[14:03] William
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
    I will be conducting this exam.
[14:12] William
    Magic tree, descend!
[14:29] Finral
    That's still amazing.
[14:43] Both
    So this is the man who's
    closest to the Wizard King.
[14:50] William
    We will now begin the Magic
    Knights Entrance Exam.
[15:02] William
    We will now have you all take several tests.
[15:07] William
    The nine of us will evaluate
    your performance,
[15:10] William
    and then we will select the candidates
    that we would like to add to our squads.
[15:16] William
    If chosen, you will join that squad.
[15:17] William
    If you're chosen by more than one squad,
[15:20] William
    you may choose the squad
    you would like to join.
[15:22] William
    On the other hand, those who
    are not chosen by any captain
[15:26] William
    are not qualified to join the Magic Knights.
[15:30] Asta
    I'm gonna get into the Magic
    Knights, no matter what!
[15:33] William
    For the first exam, we will have
    you get on those brooms and fly.
[15:37] Amy
    But that's...
[15:39] Bumoda
    I've never done that before.
[15:41] William
    Mages who can control their magical powers
    should be able to this instinctively.
[15:45] William
    It is the most basic way for mages to travel.
[15:49] William
    If you cannot fly on a broom,
    you shouldn't even be here.
[15:52] William
    All right, begin.
[16:04] Charlotte
    Just by observing this, we can get a good
    idea of what kind of mages they are.
[16:09] Charlotte
    There are quite a few candidates this year.
[16:17] Gayaya
    For a kid from the boonies,
    he's really amazing.
[16:21] Koza
    The genius chosen by the four-leaf...
[16:29] Fuegoleon
    What's the meaning of this?
[16:31] Fuegoleon
    No matter how much one might be lacking
    in talent, they should at least float.
[16:39] Nozel
    If you'll excuse me for a moment.
[16:43] Synana
    Talk about pathetic.
[16:45] Koza
    Guess we're down one rival already.
[16:47] Tanoso
    What is he even doing here?
[16:50] Sekke
    Come on, this should be easy.
[16:53] Sekke
    Loosen up a little bit. Just like this.
[16:58] Asta
    That's amazing, damn it!
[17:00] Sekke
    Loosen up, all right?
[17:02] Asta
    Hey, you're a decent guy.
[17:07] Asta
    I still can't float...
[17:13] Noelle
    Okay!
[17:15] Nozel
    What are you doing?
[17:18] Noelle
    Oh, I'm... um...
[17:19] Nozel
    I told you. There's no need for royalty
    to take the same exam as the peasants.
[17:26] Noelle
    But...
[17:27] Nozel
    Your destination has already been decided.
[17:30] Nozel
    Do not take unnecessary action.
[17:32] Noelle
    Yes, Brother Nozel.
[17:35] Nozel
    Your existence itself is unnecessary.

[18:08] Sekke
    Bah-ha!
[18:09] Asta
    Not yet! Not yet! Not yet!
[18:17] William
    All right. The next exam
    shall be the last one.
[18:20] William
    You will engage in actual combat.
[18:24] Fuegoleon
    You'll be battling!
[18:26] Fuegoleon
    You will pair off and fight with your partner.
    You may use your grimoires to attack.
[18:33] Koza
    If we lose, it'll severely
    affect our evaluations.
[18:36] Gayaya
    Picking the right opponent will be key.
[18:39] Fuegoleon
    Fighting is our duty.
    Show us your true abilities!
[18:44] William
    As soon as one of you yields or becomes
    unable to fight, the exam will be over.
[18:49] William
    There will be mages who can use
    healing magic on standby.
[18:52] Fuegoleon
    So fight to your heart's content!
[18:54] Asta
    C-Crap! All I've been doing so far is yelling.
[18:59] Asta
    I have to stand out by fighting
    someone who looks strong.
[19:02] Asta
    Come on... I need to find
    someone to fight me.
[19:06] Sekke
    Bah-ha! Fight me, Asta.
[19:10] Asta
    Sekke! You're willing to
    fight a loser like me?
[19:15] Sekke
    But of course! Bah-ha!
[19:17] Asta
    You're such a great guy!
[19:19] Guy
    First combatants, come forward.
[19:22] Asta
    Yes, sir!
[19:24] Sekke
    Bah-ha!
[19:29] Asta
    Let's both give it our all and fight fair,
    so we can achieve our goals!
[19:38] Sekke
    You don't have to try so hard anymore,
[19:42] Sekke
    you filthy little rat that
    wandered into the wrong place.
[19:45] Sekke
    Thank you for making me
    look even better so far.
[19:49] Sekke
    I'll get into the Magic Knights and
    do my best for the both of us,
[19:53] Sekke
    and have a great time.
[19:55] Sekke
    Got it, you miserable peasant?
[19:59] Sekke
    Hurry back to your village in the boonies
[20:02] Sekke
    and continue enjoying your crappy little life.
[20:05] Sekke
    Bah-ha!
[20:09] Koza
    Sekke chose the weakest-looking guy.
[20:14] Amy
    Sekke...
[20:16] Guy
    Begin!
[20:18] Sekke
    No holding back, all right?
[20:20] Sekke
    Let's do this, Asta! Bah-ha!
[20:29] Sekke
    Bronze Creation Magic:
    Sekke Magnum Cannonball!
[20:34] Sekke
    How do you like my magic?
[20:37] Sekke
    It's bronzified and protects me
    as it shoots out magical bullets.
[20:40] Sekke
    It's offense and defense all in one!
[20:43] Sekke
    It'll block all of your lame attacks,
    which will show off my defensive powers,
[20:48] Sekke
    and then I'll finish you off
    once you've worn yourself out.
[20:51] Finral
    That's pretty decent for an exam candidate.
[20:55] Yami
    Doesn't he look like that spiky bug
    from the Mimo Amazon?
[20:59] Sekke
    There's no need to hold back.
    Come at me! Bah-ha!
[21:02] Sekke
    Now... Make sure you struggle as much
    as you can to make things exciting!
[21:06] Asta
    Sure thing.
[21:08] Asta
    Here I go.
[21:18] Sekke
    Huh?
[21:26] Tanoso
    Huh?
[21:26] Bumoda
    Huh?
[21:27] Koza
    Huh?
[21:32] Asta
    I'm not joining
[21:34] Asta
    the Magic Knights so I can have a
    good time and avoid working hard.
[21:39] Asta
    I'm here to work my butt off
    and become the Wizard King!
[21:53] ---
    No one can escape from here
[22:00] ---
    Once again in the small closed off classroom
[22:08] ---
    The star of the class was shining yet again
[22:15] ---
    They shine so bright that I close my eyes
[22:21] ---
    I've thought many times
[22:24] ---
    That the revolution was within my hands
[22:28] ---
    Isn't it strange? If you want
    to laugh, go ahead and laugh
[22:35] ---
    The rest of us who were left
    behind wanted to become something
[22:42] ---
    We repeat the same morning over and over
[22:49] ---
    You're the only one who
    can choose your tomorrow
[22:56] ---
    Let's go beyond our current selves
