[00:06] Nar
    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
    After the Star Festival's main event, the
    announcement of the Squads' achievements,
[00:39] Nar
    the king made an important announcement.
[00:43] King
    The Eye of the Midnight Sun's
    hideout has been located.
[00:46] King
    To that end,
[00:48] King
    I have decided to gather an even more select
    group to form the ultimate hand-picked unit.
[00:52] King
    The Royal Knights!

[00:54] Nar
    Asta and Yuno were unable to
    contain their excitement, but...
[00:57] Mereoleona
    You absolute imbeciles!
[01:01] Nar
    They happened to run into the new
    captain of the Crimson Lion Kings,
[01:06] Nar
    Mereoleona Vermillion,
    scolding her squad in a hellish fury.
SIGN    The Uncrowned, Undefeated Lioness
[02:41] Mereoleona
    The Crimson Lion Kings have
    only ever placed first or second,
[02:45] Meroeleona
    and you had the nerve to
    ruin that by coming in fifth!
[02:50] Mereoleona
    And just because my vacuous younger
    brother ended up bedridden?
[02:53] Mereoleona
    What are you, a bunch of infants?!
[02:55] Asta
    What's "vacuous" mean?
[02:57] Yuno
    She means "foolish."
[02:58] Asta
    Wait, did she say younger
    brother? Who's that?
[03:00] Yuno
    Probably Captain Fuegoleon.
[03:02] Asta
    Huh?! Then that scary lady is...
[03:05] Asta
    Captain Fuegoleon and Leo's older sister?!
[03:09] Mere
    The nerve of that fool, Fuegoleon!
[03:12] Mere
    How dare he raise a bunch
    of spineless cowards?!
[03:16] Mere
    He has the nerve to stay in bed
[03:18] Mere
    and leave me with a bunch
    of useless fools like you?
[03:22] Mere
    That fool isn't fit to be a captain!
[03:25] Leo
    That's not true! Fuegoleon's a
    better captain than anyone!
[03:30] Guy
    He's right! Captain Fuegoleon taught us
    exactly what a true knight should be!
[03:36] Guy 2
    Not only is he strict,
    but he's more passionate about us
[03:40] Guy 2
    and this kingdom than anyone else!
    He's the ultimate Magic Knight!
[03:43] Leo
    You may be my sister, but I will not
    allow you to ridicule our bro—
[03:47] Mere
    Then quit talking and show
    me your true strength!
[03:53] Mere
    Show me that you're the ultimate squad
    that's been led by the ultimate captain!
[03:58] Mere
    That giant fool would never die
    and abandon you or this kingdom!
[04:04] Mere
    Until he returns, you need to show me just
    how strong the proud Crimson Lion Kings are!
[04:14] Mere
    While my vacuous younger brother is gone,
    I'll whip you all into shape myself.
[04:21] Mere
    Where's your answer?!
[04:22] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[04:25] Asta
    She's so passionate!
[04:28] Yuno
    She's smothering.
[04:29] Asta
    What kind of intense training
    is waiting for them?
[04:32] Mere
    All right. Let's go to our
    hot springs training camp.
[04:42] Asta
    Hot springs?
[04:48] Asta
    A training camp like that sounds super fun!
[04:51] Yuno
    Sounds easy...
[04:53] Mere
    I heard that.
[04:57] Mere
    Then you should come, too.
[04:59] Asta
    Uh, something just grabbed me!
[05:02] Asta
    I mean, I belong to a different squad, and I
    shouldn't really be following strangers...
[05:08] Leo
    Asta! You must want to join
    in because you're my rival!
[05:12] Asta
    No!
[05:13] Yuno
    Bye, Asta. I'll see you at the exams.
[05:15] Asta
    Yuno! Wait, you jerk!
[05:19] Mere
    You're coming, too.
[05:21] Yuno
    N-No way!
[05:24] Bell
    Hey! That's too out-of-character for Yuno!
[05:26] Bell
    Take your smothering hand off of him!
[05:31] Mere
    I don't care about your character.
[05:33] Yuno
    Bell, be quiet for now.
    It's even more smothering.
[05:38] Bell
    O-Okay...
[05:40] Leo
    There's no escaping once my
    sister has her paws on you.
[05:44] Leo
    She's a hidden power
[05:45] Leo
    who stayed behind the scenes only because
    she had no interest in fighting or politics.
[05:51] Leo
    But if she were to fight, she'd probably
     be even stronger than Fuegoleon.
[05:54] Leo
    She's the Uncrowned, Undefeated Lioness,
     Mereoleona Vermillion!
[05:59] Mere
    Let's see just how strong you two really are,
     Rookie One and Rookie Two.
[06:05] Asta
    We've been captured by a lady who's crazy!
SIGN    Closed for private party
[06:19] Yami
    Man, the drinks are extra-good tonight,
     don't you think,
[06:22] Yami
    captains of the squads that
    placed below the Black Bulls?
[06:25] Sol
    You okay, Sis?
[06:27] Char
    Call me... "Captain."
[06:28] Sol
    You got it, Sis.
[06:31] Jack
    Get off your high horse. You've been
    last place every other year, damn it.
[06:37] Yami
    And how does it feel to
    be beaten by the squad
[06:39] Yami
    that placed last every other year?
     Tee hee hee!
[06:42] Nozel
    If you don't shut that filthy
    mouth, I'll do it for you.
[06:45] Yami
    I'm surprised you had
    time to braid your bangs
[06:49] Yami
    after you lost to those
     potty-mouthed Black Bulls.
[06:52] Yami
    Aren't you embarrassed? Tee hee hee!
[06:54] Nozel
    I'll kill him!
[06:55] Yami
    Oh? You wanna fight?
[06:57] Nozel
    Mercury Magic: Silver Spears!
[07:01] Guy
    Kind sir, please refrain from using
    attack spells inside our establishment.
[07:06] Guy
    This drink is on the house.
[07:08] Nozel
    I apologize.
[07:15] Nozel
    It's good.
[07:16] Kaiser
    He's right, Nozel. This is
    a place to enjoy a drink.
[07:22] Kaiser
    That being said, Yami,
    you shouldn't have been absent.
[07:25] Yami
    You've got one crazy
    hairstyle going on yourself.
[07:34] Guy
    Kind sir, please refrain from using
    attack spells inside our establishment.
[07:39] Guy
    This drink is on the house.
[07:40] Kaiser
    Oh, please do excuse me. I shouldn't
    have let my temper get to me.
[07:45] Kaiser
    Thank you kindly.
[07:49] Kaiser
    My, my...
[07:51] Jack
    Man, what the hell is your problem?
[07:54] Jack
    I guess I'll just have to—
[07:59] Jack
    Guess I'll let you off the hook today.
[08:02] Yami
    You guys are acting like
    pushovers all of a sudden.
[08:04] Yami
    Is there something sketchy
    in those drinks of yours?
[08:08] Rill
    Yami!
[08:10] Rill
    You're amazing, Yami!
[08:11] Rill
    I'm beyond depressed after
    being ranked last just once!
[08:16] Rill
    Yet you looked unfazed for years,
    despite always coming in last!
[08:21] Rill
    Your heart is invincible!
[08:23] Rill
    It's so amazing! Unfathomable!
[08:25] Rill
    Even your heart has chest hairs!
[08:27] Rill
    You are the epitome of insensitivity!
     You're a total weirdo!
[08:31] Yami
    R-Right...
[08:36] Yami
    I can never understand a damn word you say!
[08:42] Jack
    Just wait until next year, Yami!
[08:44] Yami
    What? Going home already?
[08:46] Yami
    I don't mind having a few drinks
    with you tonight, String Bean Scythe!
[08:50] Jack
    Shut it!
[08:51] Yami
    Then I guess I'll just
    have to drink by myself.
[08:54] Yami
    Gotta celebrate my ridiculous
    ascent to the top!
[08:57] Mere
    You seem quite pleased with yourself
    for climbing up the ranks just once.
[09:01] Yami
    S-Sisgoleon...
[09:02] Mere
    Who are you calling "Sisgoleon"?
[09:04] Yami
    Well, you're Fuegoleon's sister,
    so that'd make you Sisgoleon.
[09:07] Mere
    We siblings are not referred to
    by such ridiculous nicknames.
[09:12] Yami
    What? I thought you just kept
    adding "goleon" to your names,
SIGN    Grampsgoleon Gramsgoleon
SIGN    Daddygoleon
SIGN    Mommygoleon
SIGN    Brogoleon
SIGN    Sisgoleon
[09:14] Yami
    like some sort of verb conjugation.

[09:18] Mere
    Nonsense.
[09:23] Asta
    Oh, heya, Captain Yami.
[09:27] Yami
    Looks like she caught you, kid.
[09:29] Yami
    How'd that happen?
[09:31] Asta
    I'm not... exactly sure myself.
[09:33] Mere
    You're coming, too.
[09:34] Yami
    Huh?
[09:36] Mere
    You weren't even late to the announcement.
    You just didn't bother showing up.
[09:39] Yami
    Uh, wai—
[09:40] Mere
    It appears you need training,
    so I'll help you out with that.
[09:43] Yami
    No, wait. I'm already a captain...
[09:46] Char
    Good. That's what you get, Yami.
[09:48] Mere
    You're coming, too.
[09:49] Char
    Huh?
[09:50] Sol
    What are you doing to my sis?!
[09:52] Mere
    Who are you?
[09:53] Sol
    I-I don't know what's going on,
[09:55] Sol
    but I'll follow you to the ends of
    the earth, so don't you worry, Sis!
[09:58] Char
    C-Call me "Captain"...
[10:00] Noelle
    There you are, Stupidsta!
[10:03] Noelle
    You need to come give Kahono
    and Kiato a proper send-off!
[10:06] Noelle
    Also, just so you know, the reason we got
    second isn't because of you or anything!
[10:11] Noelle
    L-Lady Mereoleona...
[10:15] Noelle
    It's been too long. Have a pleasant evening.
[10:19] Mere
    You.
[10:21] Mere
    Noelle...
[10:22] Noelle
    Y-Yes?
[10:23] Mere
    You're coming, too.
[10:24] Noelle
    Huh? What? Wait, I have
    nothing to do with this!
[10:28] Asta
    We look like grapes dangling
    on a vine right now!
[10:32] Yuno
    My character...
[10:34] Mere
    Quiet down.
[10:35] Noelle
    Hey, where are we going?
[10:37] Asta
    She said something about a hot spring.
[10:39] Noelle
    H-Hot spring?
[10:45] Asta
    Hey, Noelle. Could you wash my back for me?
[10:49] Noelle
    You moron!
[10:50] Asta
    Ow!
[10:52] Mere
    I told you lot to quiet down!
[11:01] Guy
    Thank you for your patronage.

[11:26] Asta
    H-Hot spring?
[11:29] Mere
    All right! Let's go, you bloody imbeciles!
[11:43] Mere
    This is a strong magic region
    known as the Yultim Volcano.
[11:46] Mere
    There's a volcanic belt laced with
    powerful mana deep underground,
[11:49] Mere
    and it spews lava constantly.
[11:54] Mere
    This is a place that no ordinary
    person can set foot in.
[11:57] Mere
    But at the summit, there's a
    splendid and revitalizing hot spring.
[12:03] Mere
    Well? You're getting excited now, aren't you?
[12:06] Mere
    Come! Let us head to the summit!
[12:09] Asta
    I wouldn't say we're excited.
[12:12] Sol
    Zoinks! What fresh hell is this?
[12:15] Sol
    But a hot spring...
[12:26] Char
    Sol, wash my back for me.
[12:29] Sol
    Being in a hot spring with Sis! Yes!
[12:32] Char
    Sol, you didn't have to tag along.
[12:36] Sol
    What are you talking about?
[12:37] Sol
    I told you I'd follow you to the ends of the
    earth, Sis! That includes this hot spring!
[12:41] Char
    Call me "Captain."
[12:42] Sol
    You got it, Sis!
[12:43] Leo
    Let us race to see who can get
    to the summit first, Asta!
[12:48] Asta
    Yeah! Bring it on, damn it!
[12:50] Asta
    I need to work out my aggression!
[12:52] Leo
    You, too, Yuno from the Golden Dawn!
[12:54] Yuno
    You can go right ahead.
[12:57] Leo
    So this is what "cool" looks like.
[12:59] Leo
    I don't like it.
[13:00] Asta
    Eh, you get used to it.
[13:02] Mere
    Quit dawdling and go!
[13:11] Asta
    Here I go!
[13:13] Leo
    We'll get by somehow with magic!
[13:18] Leo
    What's with this heat?
[13:21] Leo
    The atmospheric mana's going berserk!
[13:25] Guy
    My sweat glands are about to explode!
[13:27] Guy
    It's hard to breathe, too.
    My chest feels like it's on fire!
[13:36] Leo
    We're supposed to climb an erupting
    volcano in this condition?
[13:40] Leo
    That's impossible!
[13:45] Yami
    Tch. If I try to duck out,
    Sisgoleon's probably gonna come after me.
[13:50] Yami
    Looks like I'm doing this.
[13:51] Char
    Why did Lady Mereo bring me along, too?
[13:54] Char
    I have no choice.
    I'm starting to sober up, too.
[13:57] Char
    If I can't cross this mountain,
    I'll disgrace women everywhere.
[14:00] Char
    I'll reach the summit in a blink of an eye!
[14:05] Guy
    The captains are amazing!
[14:07] Guy
    The magma's doing nothing to them!
[14:09] Guy
    More importantly, how are they able to
    move like that in a place like this?!
[14:13] Asta
    That's amazing!
[14:15] Leo
    I've figured it out!
[14:16] Leo
    That's Mana Skin!
[14:20] Nar
    To some extent,
[14:21] Nar
    all Magic Knights use mana to boost their
    physical abilities when they fight.
[14:26] Nar
    One fundamental spell in which this ability
    is polished to perfection is called Mana Skin.
[14:30] Nar
    Yami and Charlotte are able to release
    their mana at a constant rate,
[14:33] Nar
    even in an environment where
    mana is going berserk.
[14:35] Nar
    They are always wearing a layer
    of mana, protecting themselves.
[14:40] Guy
    Mana Skin? Sure, every Magic
    Knight uses that technique.
[14:44] Guy
    But sustaining it for so long in
    a harsh environment like this...
[14:48] Guy
    We can't figure it out that fast!
[14:49] Leo
    No, it'll work!
[14:51] Leo
    We'll get a feel for it little by little,
    adapt to the mana here,
[14:55] Leo
    and reach the summit before
    we use up our magic!
[15:00] Leo
    We've gone soft, so this is the perfect
    environment to retrain ourselves!
[15:04] Leo
    Let's go!
[15:05] All
    Yeah!
[15:06] Bell
    It's so hot! What's with this place?!
[15:10] Yuno
    Mana Skin, huh?
[15:10] Bell
    Yuno, where the heck are we? It's so hot!
[15:26] Bell
    Ah, it's so nice and cool.
[15:29] Asta
    Yuno!
[15:30] Yuno
    Asta! You'd better get there before
    I overheat from soaking too long.
[15:34] Leo
    Asta! I'm going on ahead!
[15:36] Asta
    Leo!
[15:37] Leo
    Curse you, Yuno! I demand that you wait!
[15:42] Sol
    I'm gonna be just like Sis!
[15:45] Sol
    Then I'm gonna soak in a hot spring with her!
[15:51] Yami
    Damn that Sisgoleon.
[15:53] Yami
    She must've brought us along to
    serve as examples for the Crimsons.
[16:02] Yami
    Especially Charlotte. Her poor
    affinity with this place makes her
[16:07] Yami
    a prime example of how it should be done.
[16:11] Yami
    Golden's top rookie, Mister Cool, is here
    to stir up the younger guys his age.
[16:16] Yami
    Despite how she looks,
    that lady tyrant is pretty sharp.
[16:21] Mere
    Quit dawdling and get a move on!
[16:25] Yami
    Or maybe not. I'm not really sure anymore.
[16:29] Noelle
    Mana Skin...
[16:30] Noelle
    I'm terrible at controlling my magic,
    so this is basically impossible for me to do!
[16:35] Noelle
    Even though my water attribute should
    be super compatible with this place...
[16:41] Noelle
    I haven't seen Lady Mereoleona in ages,
[16:44] Noelle
    and she brings me straight
    to a place like this!
[16:46] Noelle
    What the heck is going on?
[16:47] Mere
    Did you say something, Noelle?
[16:50] Noelle
    N-No, nothing at all, ma'am!
[16:54] Mere
    Do you have the resolve
    to climb to the summit?
[16:57] Mere
    I asked you if you had the
    resolve to climb to the summit!
[17:00] Noelle
    I do!
[17:04] Mere
    I can tell from your mana.
[17:06] Mere
    The little girl who was always cowering
    around her siblings has changed.
[17:12] Mere
    You're starting to resemble
    your mother a bit.
[17:14] Mere
    Not only on the outside,
    but on the inside, too.
[17:19] Mere
    She didn't just have the physical
    strength of a Magic Knight.
[17:24] Mere
    She possessed a strong heart, too.
[17:38] (Flashback) Acier
    Thank you. Those flowers are beautiful.
[17:42] (Flashback) Mere
    The baby's going to be born soon, right?
[17:45] (Flashback) Acier
    Yes.
[17:47] (Flashback) Mere
    Once you give birth, you're going to
    return to the battlefield, aren't you?
[17:56] (Flashback) Mere
    Why are you crying?
[17:58] (Flashback) Acier
    They must've told you.
[18:05] (Flashback) Mere
    The Magic Knights need you, Lady Acier.
[18:09] (Flashback) Mere
    So why are you risking your life to...
[18:14] (Flashback) Acier
    As a Magic Knight, once you decide you're
    going to step out onto the battlefield,
[18:18] (Flashback) Acier
    you fight for the people and your kingdom
[18:20] (Flashback) Acier
    without thinking twice about
    risking your life, right?
[18:29] (Flashback) Acier
    In a similar way, once a woman
    has a child in her belly,
[18:34] (Flashback) Acier
    she will try to protect that
    baby's life at any cost.
[18:38] (Flashback) Acier
    That's what it means to be a mother.
[18:45] Mere
    Nothing's stronger than a determined woman.
[18:48] Mere
    Just like your mother.
[18:51] Mere
    If you've made the decision to climb,
    then hurry up and climb this mountain.
[18:57] Noelle
    Yes, ma'am!
[19:16] Asta
    Damn it... Everyone else went on ahead.
[19:20] Asta
    There's nothing I can do about this
    just with guts and my muscles.
[19:34] Asta
    I-I can't cut the heat with my sword.
[19:37] Asta
    D-Damn it...
[19:41] Mere
    You can head back.
[19:46] Mere
    It's impossible for someone with absolutely
    no magic to climb this mountain.
[19:53] Mere
    I thought you might have promise since
    you were the number two rookie,
[19:58] Mere
    but apparently your previous
    exploits were all thanks to luck.
[20:03] Mere
    Your luck is magnificent. With that luck,
     you might be able to become
[20:10] Mere
    the Wizard King even if you
    can't climb this mountain.
[20:13] Mere
    If you get the point, go home.
[20:21] Asta
    I'm not going back!
[20:30] Asta
    I...
[20:31] (Flashback) Asta
    H-How...
[20:33] (Flashback) Both
    ...do you become the Wizard King?
[20:35] Asta
    What we're striving for isn't something
    that can be obtained just by luck!
[20:40] (Flashback) Julius
    It's merit.
[20:42] Mere
    Then go on and climb!
[20:44] (Flashback) Julius
    You can't protect others with pride,
    and the trust of others comes with merit.
