**[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.
***SIGN*** Magical Ability Exam
**[17:49] Sekke**
Bah-ha!
**[17:51] Sekke**
It's okay. Just relax!
**[17:54] Sekke**
Bah-ha!
***SIGN*** Magical Ability Control Exam
**[17:57] Sekke**
Don't worry about it. Just do your best.
***SIGN*** Creation Magic Exam
**[18:01] Sekke**
Bah-ha!
**[18:03] Asta**
I'm not done yet!
**[18:05] Sekke**
Next, next...
***SIGN*** Developmental Magic Exam
**[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.

**[21:32] 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!

*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*
