    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.
[00:35] Nar
    At the royal capital of the Clover Kingdom,
    the entrance exam for the Magic Knights,
[00:39] Nar
    who protect the kingdom under
    the Wizard King, had begun.
[00:44] Nar
    In the final part of the exam,
    the candidates were paired off
[00:49] Nar
    to battle using their grimoires.
[00:54] Guy
    Begin!
[00:56] Sekke
    No holding back, all right?
[00:58] Sekke
    Let's do this, Asta! Bah-ha!
[01:08] Sekke
    Bronze Creation Magic:
    Sekke Magnum Cannonball!
[01:13] Sekke
    How do you like my magic?
[01:15] Sekke
    It's bronzified and protects me
    as it shoots out magical bullets.
[01:18] Sekke
    It's offense and defense all in one!
[01:21] Sekke
    It'll block all of your lame attacks,
    which will show off my defensive powers,
[01:26] Sekke
    and then I'll finish you off
    once you've worn yourself out.
[01:29] Sekke
    There's no need to hold back.
    Come at me! Bah-ha!

    Grey words can't make anything happen
[02:02] ---
    I know, yeah I know
[02:05] ---
    Wishing to fly freely across the sky
[02:10] ---
    I dreamed it all my life
[02:12] ---
    Step by step I go, though
    it's a doubtful world
[02:16] ---
    Don't care how much I fall
[02:18] ---
    Instinct is my guide, I never give up
[02:23] ---
    To faraway future, I burst out running
[02:28] ---
    Go beyond even the unseen fears
[02:33] ---
    The vision I had, so I can be myself
[02:38] ---
    Someday I will write the next page
[02:44] ---
    You are my hope
[02:47] ---
    Like that page from someday
[02:50] ---
    I was able to meet you
[02:52] ---
    I call this a miracle
[03:06] Synana
    Well, we know who's going to win.
[03:08] Synana
    There's no way some kid from the
    boonies can break through that.
[03:12] Gayaya
    Man, I wish I was fighting that kid.
[03:16] Koza
    What's the deal with that shabby grimoire?
[03:19] Gayaya
    Can he even use magic?
[03:22] Synana
    Stupid hick peasant.
[03:24] Tanoso
    You're never going to make it
    into any of the squads, kid!
[03:29] Sekke
    There's no need to hold back.
    Come at me! Bah-ha!
[03:32] Sekke
    Now... Make sure you struggle as much
    as you can to make things exciting!
[03:37] Asta
    Sure thing.
[03:38] Asta
    Here I go.
[03:49] William
    He's fast. Is he using some kind of
    high-speed movement magic?
[03:52] Yami
    No... He's just physically powerful.
[04:04] Tanoso
    Huh?
[04:04] Bumoda
    Huh?
[04:05] Koza
    Huh?
[04:11] Asta
    I'm not joining
[04:12] Asta
    the Magic Knights so I can have a
    good time and avoid working hard.
[04:17] Asta
    I'm here to work my butt off
    and become the Wizard King!
[04:22] William
    That grimoire...
[04:25] Yami
    Well, well...
[04:27] Yuno
    I'm the one who's going to defeat you...
[04:31] Yuno
    Asta!
[04:32] Synana
    Is that sword... magic?
[04:35] Bumoda
    Wasn't he just some loser from the boonies?
[04:38] Bumoda
    What the heck?
[04:40] Tanoso
    Who is he?
[04:41] Koza
    He just...
[04:43] Gayaya
    ...said something about the Wizard King.
[04:44] Asta
    All of you shut up! I told you,
    I'm going to become the Wizard King!
[04:48] Asta
    You got a problem with that?!
[04:51] Gayaya
    Is he stupid?
[04:52] Koza
    What the heck is that peasant
    from the boonies saying?
[04:56] Synana
    Must be embarrassing,
[04:58] Synana
    being a completely delusional idiot.
[05:01] Bumoda
    Just get outta here already, you stupid brat!
[05:03] Asta
    Who're you calling a stupid brat?!
[05:07] Finral
    Could it be some kind of creation magic?
[05:08] Gordon
    Amazing...
[05:13] Finral
    Judging from the other parts of the exam,
[05:15] Finral
    it didn't seem like he had
    that much magical power.
[05:18] Yami
    He's not using magic.
[05:22] Finral
    Huh?
[05:23] Yami
    Actually, maybe it's not
    that he's not using magic...
[05:25] Yami
    It's that he doesn't have any magical power.
[05:30] Yami
    Come to think of it, I didn't
    sense any mana from him.
[05:35] Yami
    And yet, he wants to become
    the Wizard King, huh?
[05:40] Yami
    Looks like we've got a
    strange one on our hands.
[05:47] Sekke
    Bah... ha...
[06:10] Gayaya
    Man, royalty's so strong.
[06:13] Koza
    They have way too much magical
    power and talent to begin with.
[06:21] Asta
    S-S-S...
[06:31] Asta
    S-So cool!
[06:33] Synana
    On second thought, maybe the shrimp
    really is just a small-time lame-o.
[06:40] Bumoda
    No kidding. His opponent must've
    just let his guard down too much.
[06:44] Salim
    "Yuno," wasn't it?
[06:48] Salim
    You seem to be having a hard
    time finding an opponent.
[06:51] Salim
    Why don't you pair up with me?
[06:58] Koza
    Isn't that...
[06:59] Synana
    Salim?
[07:01] Gayaya
    From the famous Hapshass family?
[07:06] Salim
    You may have been chosen by the
    four-leaf, but you are no noble.
[07:11] Salim
    I'll show you just how far below us nobles
    you are, both in status and power.
[07:15] Salim
    Oh, and of course, in wealth, too.
[07:27] Guy
    Begin!
[07:29] Salim
    You should know that it's an
    honor just to be able to fight
[07:33] Salim
    the great Salim de Hapshass.
[07:35] Salim
    You can tell the tale for the rest of your
    life when you go back to your village.
[07:42] Salim
    I'll at least treat you to
    a noble's ultimate attack:
[07:45] Salim
    The Holy Lightning Rising Salim.
[08:03] Asta
    Yuno...
[08:21] Salim
    I'll even pay for your trip back home.
[08:29] Yuno
    Wind Magic: Towering Tornado.
[09:13] Gayaya
    Salim, a noble, was defeated in an instant!
[09:15] Bumoda
    Y-You can't be serious!
[09:17] Asta
    That was awesome!
[09:20] Nozel
    Oh?
[09:21] Gordon
    Amazing. I want to be his friend, too.
[09:24] Finral
    Wow, not bad.
[09:26] Yami
    Yeah.
[09:34] William
    This concludes the exam.
[09:36] Willam
    Now...
[09:37] William
    Candidates whose numbers are
    called, please step forward.
[09:42] Charlotte
    The squad captains will raise their
    hands if they would like you
[09:45] Charlotte
    to join their squads.
[09:47] Charlotte
    The candidates will decide if
    they would like to accept or decline,
[09:49] Charlotte
    and if they are chosen
    by more than one captain,
[09:52] Charlotte
    they may choose which
    squad they'd like to join.
[09:56] Fuegoleon
    But if no one raises their hands,
[09:59] Fuegoleon
    that candidate will not
     join the Magic Knights.
[10:01] Nozel
    And you will leave immediately.
[10:07] Guy
    Candidate #1, step forward.
[10:10] Number 1
    Y-Yes, sir!

[10:39] Fuegoleon
    I shall welcome him.
[10:40] Guy
    The Crimson Lion Kings.
[10:42] Guy
    Number 99, the Coral Peacocks.
[10:47] Guy
    Number 116,
[10:49] Guy
    no offers.
[10:51] 116
    Damn it!
[10:52] Guy
    Number 141...
[10:55] Guy
    No offers.
[10:57] 141
    Well, I guess I expected that.
[11:00] 141
    I'll just go back to my
    village and till my fields.
[11:05] Asta
    Scary...
[11:11] Guy
    Next, #164.
[11:13] Yuno
    Yes, sir.
[11:19] Asta
    Yuno!
[11:23] Guy
    All who wish to offer, please raise your hand.
[11:29] Koza
    What?
[11:30] Gayaya
    Seriously?
[11:32] Synana
    All of the captains...
[11:33] Bumoda
    ...raised their hands?!
[11:35] Rooney
    Th-That's amazing.
[11:37] Tanoso
    I-I thought that only royalty and
    nobles could join the Golden Dawn.
[11:43] Gayaya
    Even the Silver Eagles? Seriously?
[11:45] Koza
    But he's a kid from the boonies!
[11:49] Asta
    All of them! That's amazing!
[11:51] Asta
    N-Nothing less from my rival!
[11:58] Yuno
    I'll take the best path to
    becoming the Wizard King.
[12:03] Yuno
    Please allow me to join the Golden Dawn.
[12:10] Finral
    They took a good one.
[12:12] Gordon
    But I wanted to be his friend...
[12:14] Yami
    Oh, well. Can't be helped.
[12:16] Guy
    Next, #165.
[12:18] Finral
    Oh. I guess that kid's next.
[12:21] Asta
    I can't let Yuno get ahead of me!
[12:27] Asta
    I'm ready!
[12:29] Guy
    All who wish to offer, please raise your hand.
[12:35] Asta
    I don't care which squad it is...
    Someone, please raise your hand!
[12:43] Guy
    Number 165...
[12:48] Guy
    No offers.
[13:01] Asta
    N-No way...
[13:03] Koza
    Go on, scram! I'm up next!
[13:08] Asta
    Not yet... I'm not done yet!
[13:09] Gayaya
    You're a disgrace!
[13:15] Asta
    No... I... I'm...
[13:19] Yami
    Well, that's no surprise.
[13:25] Finral
    Yami?
[13:28] Yami
    No matter how high your combat skills are,
[13:32] Yami
    if the source of your power is unknown,
    no one wants anything to do with it.
[13:42] Yami
    In the end, the only thing
    desired from a Magic Knight
[13:46] Yami
    is their magical powers.
[14:00] Koza
    Wh-What's going on?
[14:06] Finral
    Hey, Yami?!
[14:18] Asta
    S-So much pressure!
[14:25] Asta
    This is...
[14:27] Asta
    the magical power of a
    Magic Knights Squad captain?
[14:32] Yami
    And since you have no magical powers,
     no one wants you.
[14:38] Yami
    That's the cruel reality.
[14:42] Yami
    You said earlier that you wanted to
    become the Wizard King, didn't you?
[14:49] Yami
    Which means you're going to surpass
    the nine captains here, right?
[14:58] Yami
    Now that I'm standing before you,
    do you still have the nerve
[15:01] Yami
    to say that you're going to be the Wizard King,
[15:03] Yami
    even without any magical powers?
[15:12] Asta
    E-Even if I can't join the Magic Knights today...
[15:17] Asta
    No matter how many times I fall,
[15:20] Asta
    no matter what anyone says to me,
[15:24] Asta
    I'm still going to become
    the Wizard King someday!
[15:47] Yami
    You're funny, kid.
[15:50] Yami
    Join my squad.
[15:53] Asta
    Huh?
[15:58] Yami
    I'm telling you that I'll let
    you join the Black Bulls.
[16:03] Yami
    By the way, declining isn't an option.
[16:07] Asta
    What?!
[16:09] Yami
    I'll make life so miserable for you in the
    Black Bulls that you'll be torn to shreds,
[16:14] Yami
    so be ready for that.
[16:17] Asta
    What?!
[16:20] Yami
    And then, someday,
[16:22] Yami
    become the Wizard King.
[16:45] Asta
    Yes, sir!
[16:53] Guy
    Number 512, no offers.
[16:56] Guy
    This concludes the Magic
    Knights Entrance Exam.
[16:59] Examinees
    Good work!
[17:01] Examinees
    Don't worry about it.
[17:02] Examinees
    Try again next year!
[17:10] Yuno
    Asta...
[17:11] Asta
    Yuno! You're Golden! I'm a Bull!
[17:15] Asta
    This is where our true battle begins!
[17:17] Yuno
    Yeah. Let's see who'll—
[17:25] Asta
    N-Nature's calling pretty loud!
[17:26] Asta
    Was it the grilled purple snake
    I ate to psyche myself up?!
[17:31] Asta
    It's coming! It's ready
    to stick its head out!
[17:40] Sekke
    After humiliating me in front of everyone,
[17:43] Sekke
    don't think I'm just going
    to let you leave, Asta.
[17:48] Sekke
    Because of you, I was only offered a
    position in one of the lower ranking squads,
[17:53] Sekke
    the Green Praying Mantises!
[17:55] Sekke
    I'm a frickin' bug!
[17:59] Sekke
    You're just a hick from the boonies.
    You think you can become the Wizard King?
[18:04] Sekke
    Life ain't that simple.

[18:13] Sekke
    I'll test your luck for you.

[18:19] Sekke
    If your luck's bad, you'll be
    bedridden for life. Bah-ha!
[18:26] Sekke
    Huh?
[18:27] Yuno
    What are you doing?
[18:32] Sekke
    Four-leaf...
[18:37] Sekke
    B-Bah-ha! I was just going to give him a
    little scare. You know, as a parting gift.
[18:44] Sekke
    T-To see who'll make it
    further in this world.
[18:49] Yuno
    Then get lost.
[18:50] Yuno
    You're no match for Asta.
[18:56] Sekke
    Oh, I just remembered! I have somewhere to be.
[18:59] Sekke
    Tell Asta bye for me. Bah-ha!
[19:08] Asta
    That feels so much better.
[19:10] Asta
    Man... It all came right out.
    I have no regrets or poop left in me.
[19:15] Both
    All right.
[19:17] Both
    Let's go.
[19:28] Yami
    You've got some nerve, making me wait.
[19:31] Yami
    How long does it take you to take a dump?
[19:34] Asta
    Actually, it was really something!
[19:37] Asta
    It was long and huge...
[19:40] Yami
    That's not what I meant!
[19:43] Yami
    Who asked you to start talking
    about your turds, you moron?!
[19:49] Yami
    Let's go, Finral.
[19:51] Finral
    Right-o.
[19:59] Asta
    What's that?
[20:01] Yami
    Since you can't magically fly,
[20:04] Yami
    you're going to have to learn
    some transport magic, too.
[20:08] Yami
    Oh, wait. You don't have any magical powers!
[20:09] ---
    Ow! What the heck?!
[20:14] Finral
    Er, sorry to bug you, Yami, but it's a
    bit hard to keep a gate this size open,
[20:19] Finral
    so could you just go through quickly?
[20:22] Yami
    Who do you think you're ordering around?
[20:25] Yami
    Tough it out, and surpass your limits.
[20:28] Finral
