02x33 - The Victors

[bunniefuu]

It appeared as if humanity will soon
be destroyed by the demons.

But there was a mage who fought alone
and saved everyone.

He was called the Magic Emperor
and became a legend.

Next, it's the finals
for the Selection Exam.

Rill, Nils, and Ruben of Team I,
please come forward!

Young Master Rill.

Here's some vanilla tea to help
clear your mind and improve concentration.

Thank you.

Ma'am would be very happy

if she knew how well you performed today.

My mother?

Will she be happy?

Of course.

If so, I have to win.

Show them the strength
of the youngest captain.

As expected of the captain of Azure Deer.

He remains calm
even in the face of a big battle ahead.

That's because
he has won the previous match.

All thanks to him,

we made it to the finals
without actually doing anything.

If this goes on,

even if we win, there's no guarantee
that we'll be selected as Royal Knights.

Are those two guys participating?

-We need to stand out.
-We need to stand out.

Next, En, Yuno, and Noelle of Team P.

Please come forward!

Team I, please go easy on us.

I'm going to take everyone down

and crush all of you into pieces
like sawdust!

All your inner voice is revealed.

I get so worked up
that I can't hold back my emotions.

Noelle, show them what you've got!

What's the matter?

Your expression
is as hard as rock truffles!

Let's fire things up!

Shiitake mushrooms taste better
when they are cooked!

It tastes as good
when they are dried or frozen!

Let's rally to victory, Mushroom Muscle!

Come on!
Let's do this together, Mushroom--

Shut up!

Jeez.

The situation with Asta alone
makes me unable to concentrate.

I'm just worried because he's my teammate.

It's not like I care
that Mimosa is with him!

Your cheeks are red!

You're finally getting fired up?

Shut up!

He's really annoying.

If it affects Yuno's performance,
I won't spare you!

Belle.

We need to go all out.

Awesome!

It's finally my turn!

What did you say?

Are you saying
that you haven't gone all out earlier?

He's so cool.

That's what I like about you.
You have my admiration.

I'm looking forward to it.

If my opponent is you,

perhaps I can create
the greatest masterpiece.

I, too, would like to know
how much have I improved.

Young Master Rill
is going to win for sure.

It's Yuno!

Young Master Rill!

-Yuno!
-Young master!

-Yu!
-Young!

RUBEN, NILS, RILL, TEAM I

YUNO, EN, NOELLE, TEAM P

Finally.

This match will determine the winner.

Although I, the protagonist, am not there,

I still look forward
to a beautiful battle.

To move towards higher goals,

I will watch this battle intently!

Asta.

You're finally awake?

Where is this place?

Langris!

You need to lie down.

Despite what you said…

It's over!

Right, our team…

How's Finral?

His wounds are too deep.

He's been sent
to the city's Healing Tower.

How about Yuno?

How about his team?

They won the second round in a breeze.

The next match is going to start
to decide the winner.

Yuno.

Next, the final match

is between Team I…

-I'm so excited.
-I have to do well this time.

…and Team P.

I'll take care
of the captain of Azure Deer.

We'll leave it to you then.

The match begins!

Here they come!

I'm over here!

There's no need for him to call them over.

-Here I am! Come over!
-In short, as we expected,

that rookie has set his eyes
upon Captain Rill.

This is our chance.

Wind Magic, Wind Blades Shower!

Painting Magic, God's Play!

What?

Indeed, he's unlike the opponents
that I've fought with.

Nice one for a top rookie.

This is going to be good.

In other words, they used their magic
to greet one another.

From the looks of it,

they haven't given their all yet.

Those were just greetings?

That's totally on a whole different level!

Look!

The battle is also starting
on the other side.

The opposing team's crystal
is right in front of us!

Let's do it!

Ice Magic, Ice Needle!

Sandstone Magic, Rock Fall!

Both attacking at the same time?

I'll take care of the Ice Magic-user.

I'll leave
the Sandstone Magic-user to you.

Mushroom Magic, Towering Mr. Mushroom.

Hey!

Bring it on!

What?

Water Creation Magic,

Sea Dragon's Nest!

Such a strong defense!

If so, we should strengthen ours

and fight them!

Whatever it is…

We have to destroy their crystal!

-We have to stand out!
-We have to stand out!

As we planned,
they have split into two teams.

We have to protect the crystal!

So…

I'll leave that to you!

Wind Magic,

Tornado Fang!

Plus Crescent Kamaitachi!

There you go!

Belle.

Yes, here I come!

Wind Magic, Gale White Bow!

Not bad!

That was close!

That was close!

Watch me!

Once more!

Was I wrong about this?

Perhaps, I need to do something about it.

It's such a colorful
and powerful Wind Magic.

As expected of the rookie
who wields the Clover Grimoire.

He's so strong.

But

his opponent is the captain of Azure Deer.

He blocked everything beautifully.

Your Spirit Magic is so cute.

This is starting to get more fun.

But I still didn't get

any inspiration
for the greatest masterpiece.

What's wrong with him?

He sealed all the att*cks
we launched with his weird painting.

It's so annoying!

Belle, let's use that move.

I was saving it for my battle
with Asta in the finals.

But my opponent is
a Magic Knight squad captain.

You're well-qualified for it!

In the previous battle
where he lost his five senses,

his concentration was raised to its limit
to control the magical power.

On top of the training to use Mana Skin
to protect himself at all times,

Yuno has learned to control
the tremendous amount of power

within his body.

He fine-tuned the method

and successfully held
the Spirit Magic's power within him too.

The feeling of becoming one with Yuno

is overwhelming!

Asta.

I'll blow past you with this.

It doesn't matter when,

I'll always be the one who defeats you!

Spirit Assimilation,

Spirit Dive!

This is…

Where does this impressive
magic power come from?

It's so beautiful.

This power comes from

your extraordinary talent
and great efforts.

Yuno, you really are…

Impressive.

Young Master!

Yuno, you're really impressive.

I think I can draw anything now!

Wind Spirit Magic.

Painting Magic!

Spirit Storm!

Phantom Dragon Vouivre's Shout!

This is awesome!

Rill, stop painting already.

No one can withstand your magic!

Someday, ma'am will be able
to understand that your talent…

Is the best!

Being able to go all out

-feels so great!
-Feels so great!

Yuno, that's amazing!

Damn it!

Damn it!

Why am I not Yuno's opponent?

I must win.

I want to defeat the captain
of a Magic Knight squad.

I must win!

Awesome!

This is good. So good!

Bring it on. Keep it coming.

Let's paint
the greatest masterpiece together!

What?

Why?

The best is yet to come!

He didn't hit the crystal!

What happened? Why was it destroyed?

Perhaps, the crystal couldn't withstand
the enormous magical power from Rill.

His own power…

Made it self-destruct?

-We still failed to stand out.
-Captain Rill destroyed his own crystal.

Thus, Yuno, Noelle, and En
of Team P are the winners.

What an impressive battle.

The final battle of their magical powers
gave me goosebumps.

That rookie and Captain Rill
are on the same level…

No, he probably has magic
beyond Captain Rill.

Awesome!

He won only because
his opponent self-destructed.

Don't get all smug because of that.

I can't lose to them either.

I need to step up my game as well.

How can this be?

Young master!

-Please wipe away your tears.
-No way!

Based on my personal and biased judgment,

it was you who won the tournament.

Is that so?

Did I win?

A landslide victory.

Jeez, how is that possible?

It's impossible!

Perhaps, in the eyes of others,
you aren't the victor.

But you should use this frustration
as motivation

to come out
with the greatest masterpiece again.

Ma'am would want you to do that.

You're right!

Thank you, Old Man.

You too, Yuno.

We won!

-Noelle, this is awesome!
-Mushroom Muscle!

But this is expected.

What should we do?
I can't believe we actually won!

This concludes the Selection Exam.

First of all, congratulations
on winning the tournament.

Although you didn't win,

you came in second and did well.

As for other teams,
although you didn't win,

it doesn't mean you won't be selected.

We'll evaluate your performance
based on today's battle

and select about to Royal Knights
at a later date.

Does it mean I still stand a chance?

They are all extremely
outstanding Magic Knights.

This is a little tricky
and I have no idea who to pick.

Lastly, His Majesty
has a few words to say.

All of you did well today.

All of you demonstrated
high levels of magic powers

by combining creativity and efforts
with adaptability to various situations

as well as displaying team chemistry
through careful planning and strategies.

No matter which team wins,

it won't come as a surprise.

He actually said something of substance.

-Something of substance.
-Really something of substance.

He's like a real king.

But, I'm the one who works the hardest!

Without me,
this day would never have come!

I was the one
who announced the formation of

Royal Knights,
the best of all Magic Knights!

I'm the all-mighty who held this exam,
so praise me!

What are you waiting for?

Give praise to me already!

Your Majesty, please calm down.

Everyone is here because they agreed
with the formation of Royal Knights

from the bottom of their hearts.

They're are here to protect our kingdom
from the Eye of the Midnight Sun.

Don't you think

their actions and words
are better than any words of praise?

If only the Magic Emperor was the king.

If only the Magic Emperor was the king.

Shouldn't we just have the Magic Emperor
become the king?

For those selected as Royal Knights,
we'll be counting on you.

-Yes!
-Yes!

Damn it, you always stand out
more than I do.

This concludes
the Royal Knights Selection Exam.

Today's exam went well.

Yes, your other intention

of finding out which Magic Knight
was being used by the Eye of Midnight Sun

was a success.

Once Langris recovers,

we can start conducting the investigation.

I don't want to suspect anyone.

But I think there might be more to this
than we know.

We can't let our guard down.

Mimosa, thank you for staying with me.

Asta.

Even if my magic can heal physical pain,

it can't heal a broken heart.

Mimosa, we have to go.

Yuno.

But…

Right, Asta…

Mimosa, don't worry. I'll take over.

Don't misunderstand!

As members of the same squad,

it's my job to look after him.

Yuno.

Yuno, is this a good idea?

Yuno!

I'll surely catch up to you!

I'm the one who's going
to become the Magic Emperor!

I don't think you can.

-Hey, Yuno!
-Yuno!

You made this yourself?

It's Supermage Zora.

Although he is a bit cheeky,
he is a man of his word.

He is a warrior
who secretly protects his kingdom.

We trust in each other

and get through life-or-death situations!

Partners?

Why would I believe anything like that?
That's just not me.

Are you leaving already?

Thank you for pointing out the mistakes
of those who lost.

Even though you said it harshly,

those who want to become stronger

will take your advice.

Your Trap Magic and knowledge
are indispensable.

So you'll pass
the Royal Knights Selection Exam.

I look forward to it.

What nonsense is that?

I bet you knew right from the start

that I'm not the real
Vice-Captain of Purple Orca

or Xerx Lugner.

See you again.

Indeed.

You can't replace others

but it's not a problem
since you're a Magic Knight,

Zora.

I once met a Magic Knight
on the b*ttlefield.

His name was Zara Ideale.

He did his best to protect his kingdom

and he was the very image
of a Magic Knight.

I got to fight alongside an incredible man
on the b*ttlefield today.

He's skilled in using Time Magic!

Someone like him
will certainly make it to the top!

Novachrono is a cool name.

I came up with the star system
so that people like Zara

will get the evaluation they deserve,

through merit regardless of their status.

Even so, we still can't rule out
those who aren't well behaved.

I think it's time for you to put on
your squad's Magic Knight robe,

Zora Ideale.

Zora Ideale?

I don't know who you're talking about.

I'm just

a passer-by dabbler
who couldn't become a Supermage.

Hi, it's me, the beautiful
Kirsch Vermillion.

An extremely beautiful Black Clover.

The ultimate beauty will be heightened
to its peak on Page .

"Together in the Bath."

My naked body
is a national treasure of beauty.
