It appeared as though humanity would be destroyed by the demons.
But a single mage saved them all.
He was called the Wizard King, and he became a legend.
How'd you like that? Some lowly commoners just won.
How'd you like that, damn it?!
Asta!
Honestly, he's so ridiculous.
You finally awake, you jerk?
So my magic is sealed.
You're going to spill everything to the Magic Knights,
including who you guys are and what your motives are!
I refuse.
It appears the end has come.
Ice Magic: Ice Burial.
Talk about resolve.
You idiot!
What do...
What do you think life is?!
What Happened on a Certain Day in the Castle Town
Grey words can't make anything happen
I know, yeah I know
Wishing to fly freely across the sky
I dreamed it all my life
Step by step I go, though it's a doubtful world
Don't care how much I fall
Instinct is my guide, I never give up
To faraway future, I burst out running
Go beyond even the unseen fears
The vision I had, so I can be myself
Someday I will write the next page
You are my hope
Like that page from someday
I was able to meet you
I call this a miracle
Sounds like you guys went through hell!
Why does he sound so happy about that?
Someone even died.
Hey, Captain, I don't think this is a laughing matter.
Being depressed isn't going to bring Old Man Seihi back. Right?
Yes, sir! It's just as you say, sir.
Old Man Seihi liked to see everyone happy and energetic.
Come on. You guys should be laughing, too.
Come on!
Louder!
You, too, Lady Noe!
That's how it should be.
What happened to Old Man Seihi really is a shame,
but you three were able to protect the villagers.
Be proud of that.
Well done. Great job, you idiots.
Yes, sir!
Thanks.
What's that?
You moron! You don't even know the Magic Knights' salute?!
Take a good look!
These fingers symbolize the clover.
Go on, give it a try.
Yes, sir!
Well done!
We're back.
Great job, you three.
Miss Vanessa! Finral!
Captain, we went to the Magic Investigation Department.
Good. Did you find anything out?
Who the heck's behind all this?!
I'll find their hideout and raid it!
I'll beat the crap out of the guy who got away, too!
Well, you see,
they investigated the item he left behind,
but still don't have a clue.
How useless can they be?
You fools!
Stop breaking stuff!
Sorry!
But that pocket watch is pretty nice.
Yes, and from what you said about how they were acting,
they were all of very high status.
So they're royalty or nobles.
Oh, who's this little guy? He's adorable.
How's it adorable?!
I-It is adorable!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Why, you little!
Hey, come here.
You ugly little bird! I'll turn you into fried chicken!
I won't let you turn him into fried chicken!
Say your prayers!
Don't you dare!
Are you two trying to break the building?!
We're sorry!
You're the one breaking everything, though.
All right, listen up.
It doesn't matter if the ones behind this are royalty or nobility.
We're going to let the Investigation Department
take care of this, and we'll wait for their report.
More importantly, I've got some good news.
Good news?
Wanna hear it?
Of course!
Your actions have been acknowledged by the Wizard King himself!
The Wizard King?!
You've been given a star!
Whoa, seriously?!
All right!
Yeah!
Wow.
Heck yeah!
Congrats.
So, what are stars?
Don't get so excited if you don't know what they are!
Stars are awarded by the Wizard King based on our performance.
What are they good for?
Well... They're like an honor.
Honor?!
That's right, Asta! Honor!
It's a badge of honor for a man!
There's a lady here, too.
It's a badge of honor for a man and a woman!
That makes no sense.
The various Magic Knights squads compete to get the most stars.
The number of stars indicates how much work a squad has done.
I see!
Speaking of, the Golden Dawn is currently at the top with seventy stars.
Seventy?!
What about us? How many do the Black Bulls have?
We can't lose to the Golden Dawn!
We...
finally have a nice, even negative thirty.
Negative?!
What?
We're finally only a hundred away from the Golden Dawn.
A hundred?!
It's going to take forever to catch up and beat them! Damn it, Yuno!
Not happening.
Should I really be in this squad?
One other thing.
Here's your pay for this month.
Huh?
It's money! There's at least 200,000 yuls here!
Thanks!
Thanks, Captain! I'm going to eat lots of yummy things with this!
Yeah, eat up.
Hey, Captain! How much would it take for you to fight me?
Well? Well?
I won't.
Aw, come on!
I was thinking about buying new clothes for my goddess, my little sister, Marie.
What do you think will look best on her?
Don't ask me.
No idea.
Tomorrow's gonna be a day off, so don't let it go to waste.
I'm gonna go on tons of dates!
Do whatever you want.
Thanks!
Thank you for everything, Captain.
We should all go out somewhere and have fun. What do you guys think?
This isn't much.
You moron!
You could buy at least ten years' worth of tatoes with this money!
Tatoes? What are those?
Potatoes from Hage Village that taste bland and have a questionable texture.
That sounds awful.
They aren't! Sister Lily can make anything taste good!
And who's that?
The woman I'm going to marry someday!
What?
But aren't sisters women of the cloth? I don't think they can get married.
I-It'll work out somehow! I'll go beyond all limitations!
Are you stupid?
Congrats on your first payday!
What do you plan to do with it?
I haven't decided.
What about you, little boy?
I-I'm going to send some money back to the church in Hage.
That's a great idea, Asta! That's the manly thing to do!
Right?! Do you send money back, too?
Of course I do! But...
But?
Only after I've increased it a hundredfold!
You never learn, do you?
A man's gotta take risks!
By "man," you must mean "moron."
Sending some money back is fine, but don't send it all.
Use a little bit for yourself.
Sh-Should I?
But what should I use it for?
Let's go shopping in the castle town tomorrow.
You, too.
Shopping?
I'll take you both.
Sister Lily, how are you doing?
I'm doing well.
All of the kind senior squad members are taking good care of me.
Asta, stand right here.
What are we doing?
Don't move.
Flame Magic:
Exploding...
Fireball!
Hot! Hot, hot, hot, hot!
I told you not to move!
I didn't!
Also, I did really well on my first mission,
and received a star from the Wizard King for my excellent performance.
At this rate, I might be able to become the Wizard King by next month.
I want to become the Wizard King and make this a world where everyone can be happy.
Then I'll come for you, so please marry me.
"Oh, I just had my first payday, so I'm sending you the money."
I'm done!
This is an awesome letter, if I do say so myself.
I wonder if Sister Lily will be moved to tears.
The Wizard King...
The Wizard King, huh?
I wonder what he's like...
Have you ever been to the castle town?
I haven't.
I guess royals and nobles wouldn't really have reason to go very often.
How about you, little boy?
I just passed through when I went to take the Magic Knights Entrance Exam.
Then let's have a lot of fun today.
Hey, stop touching me.
I can't help it! Do you want me to fall?
I can't stop thinking about him for some reason. Ugh...
Again?!
The Clover Kingdom is split between the Noble Realm, where royalty and nobility live,
Saussy
Spade Kingdom
Forsaken Realm
Rayaka
Heart Kingdom
Common Realm
Noble Realm
Diamond Kingdom
the Common Realm, where the commoners live,
and the Forsaken Realm, where the peasants live.
The Castle Town of Kikka, where Asta and Yuno took
the Magic Knights Entrance Exam, is in the Common Realm.
It's still amazing!
It's very lively.
I hope I can bring Sister Lily and the kids from the church here someday.
What about me?!
Oh?
Marie, my goddess, I'll be there soon.
I want to see your smiling face as soon as possible. I can't contain myself.
Mister!
That voice...
So you've come again.
I have.
I'm not going to lose this month!
I won't, either!
The ultra ultimate super large serving of everything!
I dare you to eat all of it!
Thanks for the nummies!
Munchy, munchy, munchy, munchy, munchy...
I'm getting heartburn just watching her.
Do you have some time, miss?
Want to have some tea with me?
Do I look like I have time?
You can bring your kids along. I know a great place—
You actually think they're my kids?!
They're my brother and sister!
I have to hurry home so we can open the shop.
I don't have any time to mess around.
Man, I love tough young ladies.
Miss, want to have some fun with me?
Don't get too far ahead, little boy.
I'm so excited!
Don't you two want to buy anything?
There are just so many things, I don't know what to get.
I don't really...
Hey, those robes... They're Magic Knights.
That mark... Ugh, it's the Black Bulls!
That's the lush witch Vanessa.
Are the cute girl next to her and the little kid also Black Bulls?
It's probably best to stay away.
They're starting to get a bit restless.
It's fine. Magic Knights being in town helps deter crime.
Not to mention, some fine gentlemen might approach us.
I've bought some healing herbs,
as well as some shique ointment, which acts as a poison antidote.
That should do it.
I bought what I needed, so why don't we go somewhere a bit more quiet?
Somewhere quiet?
I know just the place.
This way.
That way?
Isn't this just some alley?
It's a dead end.
Huh?!
Come now.
Whoa!
Black Market
This is the Black Market.
The Black Market?
It's a bit dangerous, but they have some very effective magical items.
Hey, Vanessa. I got some good stuff in.
Hey! I'll take a look later.
Awesome!
Oh, you don't seem too excited.
Well, no.
I guess I can't blame you.
Royals and nobles won't set foot in here because of their prejudices.
But you can't control your magical powers yet, right?
Th-That's right. Why?
They have items that can help you control your magical powers here.
If you can find an item that's a good fit for you, and adjust your powers,
you might be able to control them.
Control my powers...
Why don't we take a look around?
S-Sure.
It's really lively over there.
You two are a bit too young to go in there yet.
Amateurs shouldn't spend too much time in there, or it could ruin their lives.
All right!
Let's do this! Let's do this!
I'm going to make my paycheck grow a hundredfold!
Hey, I know that guy!
Damn it, I lost again! Bah-ha...
I can see the future.
Bah-ha! That old lady's strong.
I really shouldn't be wasting time here, anyway. I have work to do.
Well, the job's to catch a purse-snatcher.
Is that even a job for a Magic Knight?
Bah-ha...
But the captain would get real scary if I refused.
You got a problem with that? I'll slice you in two!
Bah-ha! I finally managed to join the Magic Knights,
but it's the Green Praying Mantises.
I'm a praying mantis. A frickin' bug.
All I do every day is run errands.
When I finally got an actual mission, I got used as bait and almost died.
I'm constipated and my hair's thinning.
Bah-ha, damn it.
Hey, she's cute!
What about this? You could probably use this to stabilize your powers.
It looks so cheesy.
Well, just give it a try.
Bah-ha?!
You shouldn't have been walking there!
Bah-ha! Well, well, what brings you two down here?
The Black Market is no place for you lovely ladies. Bah-ha!
Did you get lost?
As an elite member of the Magic Knights, I shall guide you out of here.
Get lost, you insect.
Bah-ha...
Hey! I found something really cool!
You didn't actually buy that, did you?
It talks!
So you did.
Look!
We are hoomans.
See?
What, exactly?
Bah-ha!
Th-That's...
Huh? Hey, you're Bah-ha!
It's Sekke! Bah-ha!
How've you been, Bah-ha?
The name's Bah-ha! No, wait, Sekke!
Who's that?
I took the Entrance Exam with him.
Ah, you're a member of the Green Praying Mantises.
He's with two beautiful girls?! Wait, no...
They're both members of the Black Bulls, too.
Asta, you bastard! You're making me jealous.
Besides, it's all your fault that I ended up in the Green Praying Mantises.
Bah-ha! You infuriating bah-hastard!
Th-Thief!
My winnings! Stop!
No one can escape from here
Once again in the small closed off classroom
The star of the class was shining yet again
They shine so bright that I close my eyes
I've thought many times
That the revolution was within my hands
Isn't it strange? If you want to laugh, go ahead and laugh
The rest of us who were left behind wanted to become something
We repeat the same morning over and over
You're the only one who can choose your tomorrow
Let's go beyond our current selves
Petit Clover
Petit Clover!
Sekke's Bah-Ha Seminar
Sekke's Bah-Ha Seminar!
Bah-ha!
Bah-ha.
Wrong! It's...
Bah-ha!
Asta, you have yet to learn the ways of the bah-ha.
Bah-ha!
The ways of the bah-ha?!
Bah-ha! This is my chance to make a name for myself!
I'm going to catch the thief and get praise from the Wizard King, ha!

Not giving up is my bah-ha!
