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, the king
made a very important announcement.
[00:39] King
The Eye of the Midnight Sun's
hideout has been located.
[00:41] King
We are going to launch an
all-out attack on the enemy!
[00:45] King
To that end,
[00:47] King
I have decided to gather an even more
select group from the Magic Knights
[00:50] King
to form the ultimate hand-picked unit.
[00:54] King
They will be called... the Royal Knights!

[02:38] Xerx
Good grief. We finally return from
our expedition, and now this.
[02:43] Xerx
Do anything else, and you'll
be obstructing public duties.
[02:45] Xerx
As a Magic Knight,
I'll have to dispose of you.
[02:48] Guy
Do you have any idea who this is?
SIGN Vice Captain of the Purple Orcas
Xerx Lügner
[02:52] Guy
This is the Vice Captain of the
Purple Orcas, Lord Xerx Lügner!
[02:56] Guy
His power and virtue are what made
the Purple Orcas who they are today!
[03:01] Guy
He's the Saint of Pure Ice!
[03:03] Zora
Why the hell would I know
about this pompous jackass?
[03:05] Zora
"The Saint of Pure Ice"?
Where's this ice of yours, then?
[03:10] Zora
He looks more like a zombie
covered in mud to me.
[03:13] Guy
What?!
[03:15] Zora
Two-bit flunkies shouldn't be boasting
about supposed glories.
[03:21] Zora
Is your great master there such
a piece of trash that he needs you
[03:24] Zora
to make introductions for him?
[03:25] Guy
Wha—
[03:27] Zora
Obstruction of public duties?
Must be nice being such a bigshot.
[03:32] Zora
You can say whatever the hell you
want about things you don't like.
[03:37] Zora
Go on. Give it a try.
[03:40] Zora
Try to strike me down in the name of justice
with this all-powerful magic of yours,
[03:44] ---
great vice captain of some band of thugs
who likes to throw his weight around.
[03:48] Guy
You swine!
[03:51] Xerx
How dare you insult the Magic Knights?
[03:54] Xerx
I shall make you regret your very
existence with my magic!
[03:57] Xerx
Ice Magic: Ice Slicer!
[04:09] Zora
The Saint of Pure Ice...
[04:12] Zora
Really?
[04:14] Zora
Yet you lost to someone like me?
Your title as vice captain is obviously a joke.
[04:26] Zora
That Magic Knight's robe is wasted on you.
[04:31] Zora
Now, then... Let's see if there's anyone
else around worth humiliating even more.
[04:43] Winston
The Royal Knights Exam! I don't know what
kind of exam it is, but I'm all fired up!
[04:49] Winston
I can finally show everyone my true powers!
[04:53] Mimosa
I beg your pardon,
but even that level of power
[04:56] Mimosa
is enough to disturb the people around you,
[04:59] Mimosa
so could you consider calming down a bit?
[05:03] Winston
M-My apologies.

That's Mimosa Vermillion!
[05:08] Guy
I hear she's an expert
at healing and support,
[05:11] Guy
but she's been learning attack
spells lately, too.
[05:13] Guy 2
So she's a jack of all trades?
That's royalty for you!
[05:17] Klaus
Mimosa, don't start any
trouble before the exam.
[05:21] Klaus
Pointing out the lower magic level
of someone who's your elder...
[05:25] Klaus
I see you're as obliviously rude as ever.
[05:28] Mimosa
And you're so serious, a worrywart,
and a four-eyes, Klaus.

Four-eye—

[05:35] Guy

few months, and his steel magic

out on a date tomorrow! Right now!
[06:00] Yuno
No.
[06:01] Bell
Ugh! Fine! The day after tomorrow works, too!

that far into the future.

You're far too relaxed.

Hey! Klaus, Mimosa!

Y-Yes! I-I'm fine!

I'm nervous since I haven't seen
him in so, so, so, so, so, so long!
[07:08] Yuno
I see you're as loud as ever.
[07:10] Asta
Heya, Yuno! Weren't the hot
springs great the other day?
[07:14] Yuno
Yeah.
[07:15] Mimosa
H-Hot springs? What's this
about hot springs, Yuno?
[07:19] Asta
I lost to you in that race up the volcano,
[07:22] Asta
but I won't lose to you today, Yuno!
[07:24] Yuno
Did you do some image training to
prepare for when you fail today?
[07:27] Yuno
We wouldn't want you crying.
[07:28] Asta
What?!
[07:30] Mimosa
Y-Yuno, what's this about hot springs?
[07:34] Asta
You seem to be having fun, Yuno.

It's me.
[07:51] Leo
No, it's me!
[07:52] Mimosa
Seriously, what's this about hot springs?!
[07:56] Finral
Wow, am I ever nervous.
[07:58] Finral
I guess I just have to give it all I can.
[08:01] Magna
Who the hell are you? You've got some nerve
wearing a Black Bulls robe, jerk face.
[08:05] Magna
Who gave you permission, huh?!
[08:07] Luck
I dunno who you are, but wanna fight?
[08:11] Finral
It's me, Finral!
[08:14] Finral
I wanted to pump myself up,
so I changed up my hairstyle!
[08:19] (Flashback) Vanessa
You want to change your hairstyle?
What brought this on?
[08:22] (Flashback) Vanessa
Change of mood? Did you get dumped again?
[08:25] (Flashback) Finral
No.
[08:27] (Flashback) Vanessa
Oh, of course. If you changed your
hairstyle every time you got dumped,
[08:30] (Flashback) Vanessa
you wouldn't have any hair left.
[08:33] (Flashback) Finral
So mean...
[08:36] (Flashback) Finral
In all seriousness,
I wanted to pump myself up.
[08:38] (Flashback) Vanessa
You got it! I've got just the thing!
[08:43] (Flashback) Finral
Whoa, wait! S-Stop!
[08:47] Finral
So, yeah. I wanted a fresh start,
so I came here with a new hairstyle.
[08:51] Magna
Stop lyin'! Like that wuss
would ever come here.
[08:55] Finral
I'm not lying, and I have seniority here!
[08:57] Finral
"Wuss"?! That's so mean!

Oh, come on, you two! Stop being so mean!
[09:02] Asta
It's obviously Finral!
[09:05] Finral
Asta!
[09:07] Asta
But I think that's a bit over the top.
[09:09] Magna
Yeah, it totally is!
[09:11] Magna
The fact that you changed your hairstyle
to pump yourself up is over the top!
[09:15] Luck
Yeah, totally over the top.
[09:17] Luck
The fact that you frosted
your tips is way over the top.
[09:21] Finral
Who cares if it's over the top?!
"I'm only human!" by Finral.
[09:25] Noelle
Ugh, they're so noisy. How embarrassing.

Over the top! Over the top! Over the top!

[09:32] Noelle
Solid...
[09:35] Solid
Really? You came to embarrass us again?
[09:39] Solid
Give me a break.
[09:41] Solid
When you lose so miserably,
it tarnishes the Silva family name.
[09:46] Solid
There's still time. Hurry up and leave.
[09:50] (Flashback) Mere
Her magic was refined beyond belief,
[09:54] (Flashback) Mere
and it had dignity.
[09:56] (Flashback) Mere
Your magic is so crude and unsightly,
it's hard to believe you're royalty.
[10:00] (Flashback) Mere
And that's why you must surpass her.
[10:03] Noelle
I-I'm not leaving!
[10:05] Noelle
N-Now, if you'll excuse me...
[10:08] Noelle
That's right. I'm not afraid anymore.
[10:11] Noelle
I'm going to show my brothers

Now, let us begin the
Royal Knights Selection Exam.
[10:32] King
I shall explain the details of the exam.
SIGN The King of the Clover Kingdom
Augustus Kira Clover XIII
[10:34] King
I am royalty, and this is the Royal
Knights Selection Exam, after all.
[10:39] King
All of you, work harder to make
me more popular with the people.
[10:44] King
The exam will consist
[10:46] King
of a team competition: a magic
crystal destruction battle tournament!
[10:55] Noelle
Team competition?
[10:57] Luck
Crystal?
[10:58] Magna
What kind of rules does that have?
[11:00] Asta
Huh? We aren't going
head-to-head with each other?
[11:03] Asta
Don't make the rules too complicated, okay?
[11:05] King
The rules are simple!
[11:08] King
Protect your own team's crystal,
which will be placed in your area,
[11:12] King
and destroy the other team's crystal.
The first team to do this wins!
[11:16] Asta
You're right! That is simple! Heck yeah!
[11:19] King
If no team is able to destroy a crystal
within the 30-minute time limit,
[11:24] King
the one that has done the most
damage to its target wins.
[11:28] King
Er... We've chosen this format because...
[11:32] King
Er... Um...
[11:35] King
Let's see...
[11:37] King
I believe it's...
[11:39] Julius
Ahem.
[11:40] Julius
In battles against the
Eye of the Midnight Sun,
[11:42] Julius
several squads will have to work together.
[11:45] King
He took the best part!
[11:48] Julius
We thought this would be
the best way to measure
[11:51] Julius
the cooperation and strategy skills
you'll need at times like that,
[11:54] Julius
rather than simply fighting with brute force.
[11:58] King
Precisely!
[12:00] Julius
Also, I bet I'll get to see lots of their
non-combat spells this way, too.
[12:06] Hamon
Ah, I see.
[12:08] Alec
Which means we'll have to team up
with members of the other squads.

Now, let us announce the teams.

[12:49] Zora
But I bet our great Wizard King will
forgive me for being a tiny bit late.
[12:55] Asta
Who's that guy?
[12:57] Zora
I'm Xerx Lügner. It's a pleasure.
[13:08] Zora
I'm Xerx Lügner. It's a pleasure.
[13:15] Zora
Man, I just happened to run into
a little old lady in distress.
[13:19] Zora
I helped her out, since I'm a Magic Knight,
so I ended up a little late.
[13:23] Zora
My bad.
[13:25] Julius
I see. Is the old lady all right?
[13:27] Zora
Yup! She's doing great!
[13:31] Guy
Who is that guy?
[13:34] Marx
Step away, you cur.
[13:38] Zora
Hey, come on, now. That's not very nice.
[13:40] Zora
What's the big idea?
[13:42] Marx
That would be my line.
[13:44] Marx
Xerx Lügner? But that's—
[13:48] Marx
Wizard King?
[13:50] Guy
What are you trying to pull, you bastard?
[13:53] Guy 2
How dare you act like that after arriving late?
[13:55] Sol
The Wizard King is one of
the only guys Sis respects!
[14:00] Asta
What do you think you're
doing to the Wizard King?!
[14:02] Julius
Now, now. Calm down, everyone.
[14:05] Zora
Oh, right. I guess everyone
respects the Wizard King.
[14:10] Zora
But I don't.
[14:13] Zora
Don't push your values on me,
you worthless rabble.
[14:19] Marx
That's definitely Xerx's robe.
[14:22] Julius
Looks like he gave himself quite the
makeover after that long expedition of his.
[14:28] Marx
This is no laughing matter, sir!
[14:32] Zora
Well, it looks like we're on the same team,
[14:36] Zora
so let's get along.
[14:40] Asta
Sure.
[14:45] Asta
That stinks!
[14:49] Zora
The stinkiest bug in all the
Clover Kingdom, the rainbow stinkbug.
[14:54] Asta
I'm being assaulted by
the scent of the rainbow!
[14:57] Asta
Are you actually trying
to get along with me?!
[15:00] Zora
Of course not.
[15:02] Zora
Why would I bother getting along
with an airhead with a moronic face,
[15:06] Zora
who's a hyperactive dumbass, too?
[15:09] Zora
You're just a noisy shrimp.
[15:12] Luck
That's pretty smelly.
[15:17] Asta
Why, you...
[15:18] Asta
You jerk with a cool-looking
thing wrapped around your face!
[15:22] Magna
Why are you complimenting him?
[15:25] Asta
Are you even trying at all?!
[15:28] Zora
Looks like all you can do is try.
[15:31] Asta
Didn't you come here to get
chosen as a Royal Knight?!
[15:35] Zora
Me?
[15:37] Zora
I came here to make fun of you people.
[15:40] Asta
Huh?!
[15:42] Winston
Was Vice Captain Xerx always like that?
[15:45] Adrian
He's not at all like the rumors.
[15:48] Adrian
I heard he was the Saint of Pure Ice,
[15:50] Adrian
but he's been stationed in the borderlands,
so only a few people actually know him.
[15:57] Marx
Are you really okay with this?
[15:58] Julius
Yup. It looks fun.
[16:02] Asta
Pardon me!
[16:04] Asta
I don't wanna be on the
same team as this guy!
[16:08] Julius
Now, now... We're all Magic Knights here,
so let's all just get along.

And here's the tournament chart,

Battle wins and losses won't directly
affect whether you pass or fail.

La! La!
[20:40] Charmy
I can't see, la!
[20:41] Charmy
At this rate, I'm going to miss my
meal-saving prince's heroic deeds!
[20:46] Charmy
La?!
[20:48] Julius
All right. Are both teams ready?
[20:51] Charmy
Yup.
[20:56] Asta
I'm getting hyped!

SIGN What's This
About Hot Springs!?
[22:40] Mimosa
What's This About Hot Springs?!
[22:44] Asta
Heya, Yuno! Weren't the hot
springs great the other day?
[22:47] Yuno
Yeah.
[22:48] Mimosa
H-Hot springs? What's this
about hot springs, Yuno?
[22:52] Yuno
Soon.
[22:54] Mimosa
What do you mean, "soon"? Is it
a secret just between you two?
[22:59] Mimosa
Your own private hot springs?
[23:02] Asta
The water's great!
[23:03] Yuno
Yeah.
[23:04] Mimosa
They bathe together...
[23:06] Asta
Does it itch anywhere?
[23:08] Yuno
A bit below the back of my right ear.
[23:10] Asta
This must be it!
[23:11] Yuno
It is.
[23:12] Mimosa
They shampoo each other's hair!
[23:16] Asta
So what did I write?
[23:18] Yuno
Tatoes.
[23:19] Asta
Correct!
[23:21] Asta
It's your turn next, Yuno.
[23:22] Mimosa
Then they draw words on
each other's backs!
[23:25] Mimosa
Hot springs? Hot springs?
[23:28] Asta
Is she okay? Looks like she got overheated
just thinking about the hot springs.
[23:34] Yuno
She must love hot springs.
[23:36] Mimosa
Hot springs...
[23:39] Mimosa
Our battle is about to begin.
[23:42] Mimosa
I, Mimosa Vermillion, will do my
best not to get in anyone's way!
