Black Clover (2017) s01e20 Episode Script
Assembly at the Royal Capital
[NARRATOR]
Threatened by a ruthless demon,
humanity was on the
brink of destruction.
[NARRATOR] All seemed
lost until a lone mage
stepped forward and
took up the fight.
[NARRATOR]
After his triumph, he was hailed
as the Wizard King,
and his story became legend.
[ASTA]
What?!
I seriously slept
for a whole week?
Really, I swear.
Must everything be
dramatic with you?
[VANESSA laughs]
Our poor Noelle.
She was so worried, kiddo.
I dunno how many times
she checked in on you.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
I wasn't worried.
I was just wondering
what would happen
if he never woke up, that's all.
Hate to tell ya, but I think
they call that "worrying."
Checking up on me, huh?
Thanks, Noelle.
[mumbling] I was worried
about you, too.
I'm glad all three
of you made it back.
Well, you obviously
needed the rest.
Ya know, conquering
a dungeon and getting
a major wound in the gut'll
really take it out of a guy.
I still think a whole week
is a little excessive.
Enough of this boring chit-chat.
Think of my goddess, Marie.
Would she enjoy such dull
conversation? Not one bit.
I need something
interesting to tell her.
Like a story. I only
have 3,210 left.
And that's not enough to
tide her over for a while?
How many stories
does one girl need?
So, how are you?
That stomach wound
all healed up now?
Are you ready to take
me on? Can we fight?
I don't think it's
completely healed yet.
Although, maybe
I'm just really hungry.
[CHARMY]
Hey, everybody!
Hope you brought your appetites,
'cause the Sheep Cooks'
breakfast is ready.
[ASTA]
Oh, wow! This is delicious!
Will you slow down?
That's disgusting.
Thank you.
[ASTA gulping]
Ah!
Honestly, you are such a pig.
Hey, now.
The kiddo needs his
sustenance to recover.
Wine to wash it down?
[NOELLE]
Sure, because that'll help!
[sobbing] Ah! So good!
That's it, don't be shy!
Show 'em how it's done, Asta!
The Sheep Cooks love a guy
who knows how to eat!
[sighs] Gonna grab some chow,
then it's back to bed.
Oh, hey, Captain Yami!
Good morning!
--[MAGNA] Good morning,
--[ASTA] Heya, Captain,
--Captain Yami, sir!
--how's it going?
So, kid, looks like
ya finally woke up.
Didn't die after all.
[ASTA]
Nope. Still alive, sir.
Well, good job out there.
Even if you did get
yourself wrecked again.
[laughs]
Thank you, sir!
Right. Now, then.
Knights Headquarters wants
a report on the dungeon, ASAP.
So, if you can walk,
you're going.
Huh?
A report?
Oh, at Knights Headquarters?
Ah!
[LUCK] I bet there are
tons of tough guys there.
Wonder how many I can fight.
I know that look on your face,
and it means trouble.
No way you're goin'.
Aw!
I'm sendin' you out on
a battle mission instead,
with Magna babysitting.
[LUCK]
A battle mission?
We'll make a great
team, right, Magna?
Uh, what's with you?
How can I be sure
you're really Luck?
You could be Grey in disguise.
[GREY growls]
Never mind.
Hey, sir! You can send me.
I don't mind going. Really!
Just think of all the
delectably decadent treats
the Noble Realm has to offer!
Don't take this the wrong way,
but why the heck
would I send you?
All you do is sit
around eating all day.
What?!
[CHARMY sobs]
[CHARMY]
La, la, la, la, la ♪
[GAUCHE] Captain, sir.
I'm sorry, but I can't go.
I'm busy writing
letters to Marie.
Okay.
It's not like anyone
asked you to go, anyway.
[mumbles] I'd like
to go with Asta.
[gasping]
[ASTA]
Whoa! This is awesome!
I mean, I knew it was big,
but up close, it's huge!
Keep it down, would you?
You're embarrassing
both of us right now.
So cool!
Stop yelling.
[gasps]
[NOELLE] We're alone again.
Just me and him.
[ASTA]
Enormous. Gigantic!
[NOELLE] Are you still
going on about that?
It's not all that
special, you know.
Oh, it's them.
Why, if it isn't the members
of the Golden Dawn.
Hello, there!
Hey! We haven't seen you
since the dungeon, Asta.
I assume you've come
to make your report, too?
Is your wound all healed up?
Yeah.
My stomach still hurts a bit,
but after lots of food
and sleep, I bounced back.
Such a child.
Who's a child here?!
[YUNO]
You.
[ASTA] You're the same
age as me, you know!
[MIMOSA gasps]
Hey, I really owe
you one, Mimosa.
Thanks so much for
patching me up!
What's wrong?
Why'd she run away?
She was probably shocked
to see how much
shorter your arm is than
she imagined it would be.
So
And what the hell's that
supposed to mean, huh?
See?
[ASTA]
Seriously!
[YUNO]
Just give up.
[NOELLE]
What's wrong, Mimosa?
[sighs]
You all right?
I don't know what to do.
Please, help me!
It's, um, Asta.
Whenever I see him, I get this
weird feeling in my chest.
Since that day in the dungeon,
he's all I can ever
seem to think about.
It's awful. I don't know
what's gotten into me.
Wha?!
And the way I just
ran from him
Do you think he's
going to hate me now?
What can you
possibly see in him?
He's a low-born, little-brained,
loud-mouthed runt.
[giggles] I think those
things are all just
part of his charm, honestly.
So much life in such
a compact package.
Could this be?
No, no, no! Not that
muscle-bound freak.
[NOELLE]
Wait, hold on.
Why am I so worked
up about this?
No, not a chance.
Me and him? Never!
[BOTH moaning]
[KLAUS] Hm? What's all
the moaning about?
[ASTA] Huh. Maybe their
heads are hurting?
[KLAUS] Knights Headquarters
ought to be just through here.
Guess there are some things
even you don't know,
huh, Four-Eyes?
Even we Four-Eyes
can't know everything.
[YUNO]
I guess somewhere along the line
he accepted his new nickname.
[MIMOSA] Wow, look how much
better he's treating Asta.
Anyway.
We don't often come
to Headquarters,
so it's easy to forget.
[gasps]
[BOTH gasp]
[KLAUS]
No, is that really?
I never dreamed you would
greet us personally, sir.
He's flashy. Who do
you think this guy is?
You idiot!
This is none other than
the current Wizard King:
Sir Julius Novachrono.
[screams]
[YUNO]
It's actually him.
[ASTA]
The Wizard King!
I'm pleased you were
able to obtain this.
This magic is very powerful.
It could easily be that
dungeon's greatest relic.
You can really read it, sir?
[JULIUS]
A little of it, yes.
[ASTA] The greatest
relic in there? Go, us!
[JULIUS]
Hm. Let's see here.
Ah!
[KLAUS]
Such excitement.
So the rumors of the
Wizard King being
an unparalleled magic
geek were true.
What do ya say?
Will you cast this spell
for me, pretty please?
I'd love to see it!
I'm sorry, sir.
I believe it somehow activated
once while we were
in the dungeon.
But I haven't been
able to use it again.
[sighs] Oh, I see.
Well, too bad.
[JULIUS]
Sylph, spirit of Wind,
one of the four major elements.
[JULIUS] So he's the one
she's chosen for this era.
[JULIUS]
I'm glad that you found this.
All I can tell you now is that
this spell will grow as you do.
I believe it will be a
tremendous help to you someday.
Make sure you take
good care of her.
Sir.
Wizard King, sir!
Some weird writing showed
up in my grimoire, too.
Please take a look.
Don't be impertinent.
[JULIUS]
Hm This looks like
Like what?
Something I can't read.
[ASTA groans]
Huh. I've never seen
writing like that anywhere.
And this comes out of it!
What do ya think, sir?
Ooh!
A second Anti-Magic sword?
That's excellent!
[chuckles]
Mine's workin' just fine.
Oh! The power of Anti-Magic.
May I Do you think
I could hold it?
[ASTA]
Go for it!
[JULIUS]
Thank you so-- Whoa, man!
[ASTA]
Are you okay, Wizard King?
I'm amazed you can
swing this thing around.
[gasps]
[JULIUS] My magic power.
It's being sucked away.
Now I understand.
Thanks for letting me
take a look. Here you go.
I think you'd better
hold onto it.
You may be the only one who can.
It's too much for me to handle,
but you can wield it because
you have no magic power.
I don't understand.
How'd you know that
I don't have any magic?
And about what my sword can do?
Well, you know, that's
an excellent question.
Anyway, well done. You did
a marvelous job out there.
Much appreciated.
[ASTA]
U-Uh, uh, just-- Can I, can I,
can I maybe ask
you something, sir?
Sure, what is it?
I was just wondering.
[BOTH] How can I become
the Wizard King?
[laughs]
I see, so the two of you
are looking to become
the Wizard King, are you?
Not surprising, given that
you are Magic Knights.
You two must realize
how rude it is
to ask a question
like that so directly.
Now, listen.
The Wizard King must
be noble of heart
and have the implicit
trust of all of his peo--
No, Klaus.
It's about results.
[JULIUS] A noble heart alone
cannot protect anyone,
and the trust of the people
is earned, not granted.
You want to know
what you need to do
to gain the title
of Wizard King?
Get results. Prove that
you're the strongest.
Do what it takes.
Devote yourself to getting
results. That's all there is.
Anyone who's not capable
of that cannot hope
to stand at the summit.
[BOTH]
Exactly what I wanted to hear.
[JULIUS]
Not bad, William, Yami.
I like the look in
your newbies' eyes.
[laughs]
Now I hope you're ready
for something special,
because today, we've
gathered those knights
with an exceptional
number of stars
for the Distinguished
Service Ceremony.
[ASTA]
The Dis-- What now?
The Distinguished
Service Ceremony.
We give awards and
commendations to those
who have performed
extraordinarily well.
Oh
[JULIUS] I would appreciate it
if you would join us for it.
This Distinguished Service
Ceremony sounds fancy.
I wonder what it's
gonna be like.
[NOELLE] Why us? I have
a bad feeling about this.
[KLAUS] I hadn't expected
this turn of events.
[JULIUS]
Here we are.
The question is:
can you achieve greater results
than these Knights have?
[gasps]
All right.
Let the Distinguished
Service Ceremony begin.
[NARRATOR] The Clover
Kingdom's Magic Knights
are given ranks based upon the
caliber of their performance.
With the Wizard King at the top,
the ranks are divided into five,
from First through Fifth Class.
Knights gain rank through
exemplary performance.
They must obtain the
required number of stars
before the annual
Distinguished Service Ceremony,
when the Wizard King will
bestow new ranks accordingly.
With a total of seven stars,
from the Crimson
Lion Kings squad,
Leopold Vermillion,
step forward.
I hereby bestow
upon you the rank
of Intermediate Magic
Knight, Second Class.
[JULIUS]
Like your brother,
captain of the
Crimson Lion Kings,
your use of Flame Magic
can be a bit overwhelming.
You may wanna consider
toning it down a little.
[JULIUS chuckles]
There's no room for mercy
when you're fighting
against evil, sir.
Next, with a total of six stars.
From the Blue Rose
Knights: Sol Marron.
I grant you the rank of
Intermediate Magic
Knight, Third Class.
Your vitality, a match
for any man's,
is amazing, as is your
unique Earth Magic.
But perhaps you have
a bit too much freedom.
The only person who can
tie me down is Charlotte.
I mean, my captain.
Now, with a total of six stars,
hailing from the Silver Eagles.
I call Solid Silva.
I grant you the rank of
Intermediate Magic
Knight, Third Class.
You exhibit great skill
in controlling your magic,
but it would be better
if you could work with
those around you rather than
showing off your own powers.
I'll keep that
in mind going forward.
With a total of nine stars,
from the Silver Eagles,
is Nebra Silva.
I grant you the rank of
Senior Magic Knight,
Fifth Class.
The illusions that you create
with your Mist Magic
are truly incredible.
But you have a habit
of using them to toy
with your foe
more than necessary.
It may backfire someday.
Thank you for the advice.
I'll take it to heart.
With a total of seven stars,
hailing from the
Golden Dawn: Hamon Caseus.
I hereby grant you the rank of
Intermediate Magic
Knight, Second Class.
Looking at you,
one wouldn't think
you'd wield Glass Magic.
I imagine that often
confuses your enemies.
Yes, sir, it does. Thank you.
[laughs]
Next, with a total
of eight stars,
also from the Golden
Dawn: Shiren Tium.
I grant you the rank of
Intermediate Magic
Knight, First Class.
Behind your eloquent magic
is a reticent mage
who rarely speaks his own mind.
I encourage you to make
your thoughts and opinions
known more often.
Sir.
And now, with a
total of 11 stars,
from the Golden Dawn:
Alecdora Sandler.
I grant you the rank of
Senior Magic Knight,
Fourth Class.
I commend you for both
your flexible magic
and your diligent demeanor.
However, you might consider
relaxing occasionally.
Welcome words, sir, thank you.
[JULIUS]
Your efforts have helped bring
the Golden Dawn's
total to 71 stars.
A commanding lead.
The rest of you will
have to work hard
not to be left behind.
Well, that concludes
the formal bit.
We've also prepared
a simple banquet
to celebrate the occasion,
so please enjoy yourselves.
And you may not have noticed,
but I invited
some special guests.
I hope you'll mix and
mingle with them, as well.
[JULIUS laughs]
[MARX]
Pardon, sir.
I'm sorry, but
something's come up.
You'll have to excuse me.
Have an excellent time, now!
[JULIUS laughs]
[gasps] Their contempt
is almost palpable.
How are we supposed
to enjoy this?
Just look at them.
Why would the
Wizard King subject us
to this kind of treatment?
The man himself couldn't even
stick around to witness it.
[SOLID, NEBRA chuckle]
[ASTA]
What is this?!
I've never had
anything like this!
Though it doesn't seem
to have affected him much.
As unashamed as ever.
I wouldn't say unashamed,
more uncivilized.
Uh. Excuse me.
I was thinking If you
don't mind, maybe I'd join you.
[ASTA]
Oh, sure, Mimosa!
So you've been eyeing
this meat, too, huh?
[MIMOSA] Oh, yes!
It looks very delicious.
Filthy, gluttonous commoner.
Why would the Wizard King
invite such a vulgar guest?
[NEBRA] I can't sense
any magic power in him.
If he did clear that dungeon,
I'm sure it was purely by luck.
What a positively
atrocious eater!
[laughs]
It's much like having
a rat in the throne room.
His presence here is unnatural.
[HAMON, NEBRA laugh]
You guys really don't
pull your punches, huh?
Oh, well, nothin'
I'm not used to.
[MIMOSA, KLAUS] It doesn't
even seem to bother him!
[LEOPOLD] If I remember
correctly, you've got
a commoner in your squad, too.
Everyone thinks he's a big deal
because of his four-leaf
clover grimoire.
But he's a commoner,
through and through.
They might've pulled off
the dungeon-crawling mission.
But I have no doubt I would
have done a better job.
Well, Crimson Lion cub,
aren't you full of yourself?
His work may be sub-par,
but it's not as if we
expect much of a commoner.
True, he's Golden Dawn,
but it is we nobles
who embody the ideals
of our squad and captain.
Now, with all due respect--
[ALECDORA]
And what about you, Klaus?
A man of your caliber
ought to be ashamed
to be seen in the company
of those commoners.
[KLAUS gasps]
As for you, Mimosa.
I hear you were
promptly wounded
in the dungeon and removed
yourself from the front lines.
Your ineptitude is making royal
House Vermillion
a laughingstock.
I I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
No, she performed admirably!
Come, Alecdora.
We all know who the most
inept person here is.
[NOELLE gasps]
And it's not poor little
Mimosa. Right, Noelle?
[gasps]
Why, Solid? Why
would you do that?
And to your own sister!
[ASTA growls]
[SOLID] You can't even
control your magic properly.
Could there be any greater
disgrace than you?
You were as good as
banished from House Silva
for being an abject failure.
How dare you come waltzing
back into the Noble Realm
as if you belong?
Nebra, please, stop this.
[NOZEL] You let a single
success go to your head,
and now you've
come here to sully
the Silva name
with your presence.
But, we were invited.
This is no place for a
pathetic creature like you.
Now leave. Wasn't killing
our mother enough?
[ASTA growls]
[gasps]
You don't need to run away
from people like this, Noelle.
But I
[BOTH gasp]
[ASTA] You were invited here
by the Wizard King,
so I figured you had
to be pretty amazing.
But you're just like all the
rest of them, aren't you?
[gasps]
[ASTA] Commoner! Rat!
Disgrace! Failure!
Do you think I care if
I fit in with you people?
Watch! Because I will--
That's enough out
of you, little rat.
We will not be spoken to in
such a manner by your kind.
Be quiet!
Not a chance!
[ALECDORA]
How dare you!
Now you better listen up,
'cause I wasn't done talking.
I'm gonna get results
like no one has before.
I'll do whatever it takes
to become the Wizard King,
and prove you wrong!
[FULL CAST]
Clover Clips!
[GORDON]
"My Magic."
[mumbling] There's something
I'd really like to show you.
It's my curse magic.
Within the next ten minutes,
you will blink your
eyes. Let's Gordon!
[KLAUS] Asta, you're
being incredibly rude
to your Magic Knight superiors.
Now hurry up and
say you're sorry.
I'll apologize along with you.
Black Clover , Page 21:
"Capital Riot."
My magic is learning to accept
some brat calling
me "Four-Eyes."
Threatened by a ruthless demon,
humanity was on the
brink of destruction.

took up the fight.

[screams]
[YUNO]
It's actually him.
[ASTA]
The Wizard King!
I'm pleased you were
able to obtain this.
This magic is very powerful.
It could easily be that
dungeon's greatest relic.
You can really read it, sir?
[JULIUS]
A little of it, yes.
[ASTA] The greatest
relic in there? Go, us!
[JULIUS]
Hm. Let's see here.
Ah!
[KLAUS]
Such excitement.
So the rumors of the
Wizard King being
an unparalleled magic
geek were true.
What do ya say?
Will you cast this spell
for me, pretty please?
I'd love to see it!
I'm sorry, sir.
I believe it somehow activated
once while we were
in the dungeon.
But I haven't been
able to use it again.
[sighs] Oh, I see.
Well, too bad.
[JULIUS]
Sylph, spirit of Wind,
one of the four major elements.
[JULIUS] So he's the one
she's chosen for this era.
[JULIUS]
I'm glad that you found this.
All I can tell you now is that
this spell will grow as you do.
I believe it will be a
tremendous help to you someday.
Make sure you take
good care of her.
Sir.
Wizard King, sir!
Some weird writing showed
up in my grimoire, too.
Please take a look.
Don't be impertinent.
[JULIUS]
Hm This looks like
Like what?
Something I can't read.
[ASTA groans]
Huh. I've never seen
writing like that anywhere.
And this comes out of it!
What do ya think, sir?
Ooh!
A second Anti-Magic sword?
That's excellent!
[chuckles]
Mine's workin' just fine.
Oh! The power of Anti-Magic.
May I Do you think
I could hold it?
[ASTA]
Go for it!
[JULIUS]
Thank you so-- Whoa, man!
[ASTA]
Are you okay, Wizard King?
I'm amazed you can
swing this thing around.
[gasps]
[JULIUS] My magic power.
It's being sucked away.
Now I understand.
Thanks for letting me
take a look. Here you go.
I think you'd better
hold onto it.
You may be the only one who can.
It's too much for me to handle,
but you can wield it because
you have no magic power.
I don't understand.
How'd you know that
I don't have any magic?
And about what my sword can do?
Well, you know, that's
an excellent question.
Anyway, well done. You did
a marvelous job out there.
Much appreciated.
[ASTA]
U-Uh, uh, just-- Can I, can I,
can I maybe ask
you something, sir?
Sure, what is it?
I was just wondering.
[BOTH] How can I become
the Wizard King?
[laughs]
I see, so the two of you
are looking to become
the Wizard King, are you?
Not surprising, given that
you are Magic Knights.
You two must realize
how rude it is
to ask a question
like that so directly.
Now, listen.
The Wizard King must
be noble of heart
and have the implicit
trust of all of his peo--
No, Klaus.
It's about results.
[JULIUS] A noble heart alone
cannot protect anyone,
and the trust of the people
is earned, not granted.
You want to know
what you need to do
to gain the title
of Wizard King?
Get results. Prove that
you're the strongest.
Do what it takes.
Devote yourself to getting
results. That's all there is.
Anyone who's not capable
of that cannot hope
to stand at the summit.
[BOTH]
Exactly what I wanted to hear.
[JULIUS]
Not bad, William, Yami.
I like the look in
your newbies' eyes.
[laughs]
Now I hope you're ready
for something special,
because today, we've
gathered those knights
with an exceptional
number of stars
for the Distinguished
Service Ceremony.
[ASTA]
The Dis-- What now?
The Distinguished
Service Ceremony.
We give awards and
commendations to those
who have performed
extraordinarily well.
Oh
[JULIUS] I would appreciate it
if you would join us for it.
This Distinguished Service
Ceremony sounds fancy.
I wonder what it's
gonna be like.
[NOELLE] Why us? I have
a bad feeling about this.
[KLAUS] I hadn't expected
this turn of events.
[JULIUS]
Here we are.
The question is:
can you achieve greater results
than these Knights have?
[gasps]
All right.
Let the Distinguished
Service Ceremony begin.
[NARRATOR] The Clover
Kingdom's Magic Knights
are given ranks based upon the
caliber of their performance.
With the Wizard King at the top,
the ranks are divided into five,
from First through Fifth Class.
Knights gain rank through
exemplary performance.
They must obtain the
required number of stars
before the annual
Distinguished Service Ceremony,
when the Wizard King will
bestow new ranks accordingly.
With a total of seven stars,
from the Crimson
Lion Kings squad,
Leopold Vermillion,
step forward.
I hereby bestow
upon you the rank
of Intermediate Magic
Knight, Second Class.
[JULIUS]
Like your brother,
captain of the
Crimson Lion Kings,
your use of Flame Magic
can be a bit overwhelming.
You may wanna consider
toning it down a little.
[JULIUS chuckles]
There's no room for mercy
when you're fighting
against evil, sir.
Next, with a total of six stars.
From the Blue Rose
Knights: Sol Marron.
I grant you the rank of
Intermediate Magic
Knight, Third Class.
Your vitality, a match
for any man's,
is amazing, as is your
unique Earth Magic.
But perhaps you have
a bit too much freedom.
The only person who can
tie me down is Charlotte.
I mean, my captain.
Now, with a total of six stars,
hailing from the Silver Eagles.
I call Solid Silva.
I grant you the rank of
Intermediate Magic
Knight, Third Class.
You exhibit great skill
in controlling your magic,
but it would be better
if you could work with
those around you rather than
showing off your own powers.
I'll keep that
in mind going forward.
With a total of nine stars,
from the Silver Eagles,
is Nebra Silva.
I grant you the rank of
Senior Magic Knight,
Fifth Class.
The illusions that you create
with your Mist Magic
are truly incredible.
But you have a habit
of using them to toy
with your foe
more than necessary.
It may backfire someday.
Thank you for the advice.
I'll take it to heart.
With a total of seven stars,
hailing from the
Golden Dawn: Hamon Caseus.
I hereby grant you the rank of
Intermediate Magic
Knight, Second Class.
Looking at you,
one wouldn't think
you'd wield Glass Magic.
I imagine that often
confuses your enemies.
Yes, sir, it does. Thank you.
[laughs]
Next, with a total
of eight stars,
also from the Golden
Dawn: Shiren Tium.
I grant you the rank of
Intermediate Magic
Knight, First Class.
Behind your eloquent magic
is a reticent mage
who rarely speaks his own mind.
I encourage you to make
your thoughts and opinions
known more often.
Sir.
And now, with a
total of 11 stars,
from the Golden Dawn:
Alecdora Sandler.
I grant you the rank of
Senior Magic Knight,
Fourth Class.
I commend you for both
your flexible magic
and your diligent demeanor.
However, you might consider
relaxing occasionally.
Welcome words, sir, thank you.
[JULIUS]
Your efforts have helped bring
the Golden Dawn's
total to 71 stars.
A commanding lead.
The rest of you will
have to work hard
not to be left behind.
Well, that concludes
the formal bit.
We've also prepared
a simple banquet
to celebrate the occasion,
so please enjoy yourselves.
And you may not have noticed,
but I invited
some special guests.
I hope you'll mix and
mingle with them, as well.
[JULIUS laughs]
[MARX]
Pardon, sir.
I'm sorry, but
something's come up.
You'll have to excuse me.
Have an excellent time, now!
[JULIUS laughs]
[gasps] Their contempt
is almost palpable.
How are we supposed
to enjoy this?
Just look at them.
Why would the
Wizard King subject us
to this kind of treatment?
The man himself couldn't even
stick around to witness it.
[SOLID, NEBRA chuckle]
[ASTA]
What is this?!
I've never had
anything like this!
Though it doesn't seem
to have affected him much.
As unashamed as ever.
I wouldn't say unashamed,
more uncivilized.
Uh. Excuse me.
I was thinking If you
don't mind, maybe I'd join you.
[ASTA]
Oh, sure, Mimosa!
So you've been eyeing
this meat, too, huh?
[MIMOSA] Oh, yes!
It looks very delicious.
Filthy, gluttonous commoner.
Why would the Wizard King
invite such a vulgar guest?
[NEBRA] I can't sense
any magic power in him.
If he did clear that dungeon,
I'm sure it was purely by luck.
What a positively
atrocious eater!
[laughs]
It's much like having
a rat in the throne room.
His presence here is unnatural.
[HAMON, NEBRA laugh]
You guys really don't
pull your punches, huh?
Oh, well, nothin'
I'm not used to.
[MIMOSA, KLAUS] It doesn't
even seem to bother him!
[LEOPOLD] If I remember
correctly, you've got
a commoner in your squad, too.
Everyone thinks he's a big deal
because of his four-leaf
clover grimoire.
But he's a commoner,
through and through.
They might've pulled off
the dungeon-crawling mission.
But I have no doubt I would
have done a better job.
Well, Crimson Lion cub,
aren't you full of yourself?
His work may be sub-par,
but it's not as if we
expect much of a commoner.
True, he's Golden Dawn,
but it is we nobles
who embody the ideals
of our squad and captain.
Now, with all due respect--
[ALECDORA]
And what about you, Klaus?
A man of your caliber
ought to be ashamed
to be seen in the company
of those commoners.
[KLAUS gasps]
As for you, Mimosa.
I hear you were
promptly wounded
in the dungeon and removed
yourself from the front lines.
Your ineptitude is making royal
House Vermillion
a laughingstock.
I I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
No, she performed admirably!
Come, Alecdora.
We all know who the most
inept person here is.
[NOELLE gasps]
And it's not poor little
Mimosa. Right, Noelle?
[gasps]
Why, Solid? Why
would you do that?
And to your own sister!
[ASTA growls]
[SOLID] You can't even
control your magic properly.
Could there be any greater
disgrace than you?
You were as good as
banished from House Silva
for being an abject failure.
How dare you come waltzing
back into the Noble Realm
as if you belong?
Nebra, please, stop this.
[NOZEL] You let a single
success go to your head,
and now you've
come here to sully
the Silva name
with your presence.
But, we were invited.
This is no place for a
pathetic creature like you.
Now leave. Wasn't killing
our mother enough?
[ASTA growls]
[gasps]
You don't need to run away
from people like this, Noelle.
But I
[BOTH gasp]
[ASTA] You were invited here
by the Wizard King,
so I figured you had
to be pretty amazing.
But you're just like all the
rest of them, aren't you?
[gasps]
[ASTA] Commoner! Rat!
Disgrace! Failure!
Do you think I care if
I fit in with you people?
Watch! Because I will--
That's enough out
of you, little rat.
We will not be spoken to in
such a manner by your kind.
Be quiet!
Not a chance!
[ALECDORA]
How dare you!
Now you better listen up,
'cause I wasn't done talking.
I'm gonna get results
like no one has before.
I'll do whatever it takes
to become the Wizard King,
and prove you wrong!
[FULL CAST]
Clover Clips!
[GORDON]
"My Magic."
[mumbling] There's something
I'd really like to show you.
It's my curse magic.
Within the next ten minutes,
you will blink your
eyes. Let's Gordon!
[KLAUS] Asta, you're
being incredibly rude
to your Magic Knight superiors.
Now hurry up and
say you're sorry.
I'll apologize along with you.

some brat calling
me "Four-Eyes."
