The Clover Kingdom.

In this kingdom where magic is everything,

there is one boy who can't use magic.

His name is Asta.

He puts in blood, sweat, and tears in hopes of becoming the Wizard King.

But there are also those in the kingdom who possess at least a little bit of mana,

yet can barely use any magic at all.

The very few out of the population, those who live in the shadows...

They are also trying to survive.

Those Remaining

Looking back a bit, to just before

Tiulyu Town

the Eye of the Midnight Sun attacked the royal capital...

This town was neither rich nor poor,

neither big nor small.

A very mundane town found in the Common Realm.

Ow...

Endure it. It'll get better soon enough.

Thank you.

It's fine.

Are you all right?

Yes.

I should go.

You can stay a while. No one's going to come by.

I'd love to, but he'll be home soon.

I see.

See you later.

See you later.

It's as delicious as ever. Thank you, Dazu.

It's nothing.

It really is delicious. At least you can cook.

Tell me about it.

Oh, dear. It looks like my soup has gotten cold while we were talking.

I'll reheat it right away.

You don't need to go all the way back to the kitchen for that.

Go on. Warm it up with your magic.

That's a great idea.

Then allow me to borrow some of your flame magic, Mother,

and some of your spatial magic, dear.

Ah, it looks like it's warmed up.

Your catalyst magic really does come in handy.

You can borrow magic from others and use it for yourself.

Impressive indeed.

Indeed.

My, it's delicious.

Run away!

Mommy!

Someone help me!

Accursed humans...

You will face the wrath of the elves!

Now is the time for our revenge!

Dear! Mother! Hang in there!

H-Hurry and help us...

Hurry up, you stupid...

It's too early for it to be dawn.

Curse you, human...

That's... the magic of the Captain of the Golden Dawn.

How beautiful...

Did they save the kingdom?

A Few Days Later

Something wrong?

Look...

"The Devil's Servants"?

"The Magic Parliament will put Magic Knights on trial

on suspicion of communicating with the devil and using forbidden magic."

Apparently that incident affected the entire kingdom.

According to the rumors, those who attacked everyone

were being controlled by the devil and had gained terrifying powers.

Devil... Terrifying powers?

The devil... did this?

I would like all of you to train your squad members as much as you can.

We only have six months,

but do everything you can to raise everyone's magic stages

so that we can face the Spade Kingdom and protect this kingdom.

So, Damnatio, does that work for you?

Whatever do you mean?

In order to defeat the devil, the Magic Knights

will have to get stronger in the next six months.

I'd like you to think about what to do with Asta

after we've taken care of this matter with the Spade Kingdom, if you would.

I have no objections.

What's the meaning of this?!

The Black Bull named Asta and that woman named Nero...

You're going to wait six months to try those servants of the devil?!

It's just as I explained it.

Our top priority now is to cooperate with the Magic Knights and the Heart Kingdom

so that we can face the threats of the Spade Kingdom and the devil.

But—

This has already been decided.

Are you truly okay with that, Lord Damnatio?

I am not. But there is an order to things...

And priorities.

Then that's all the more reason to execute that devil first!

The chaos in our kingdom caused by the Eye of the Midnight Sun

was the work of the devil, was it not?!

My nephew was among the victims...

Enough.

B-But to ensure the safety and peace of our citizens,

we should execute them immediately!

That's why the Magic Parliament—

Take your leave!

P-Please excuse me.

The Wizard King has Lord Damnatio dancing in the palm of his hand.

We're going to leave servants of the devil be for six months? Impossible!

I must bring the scales of justice that

have tilted toward the darkness back to the light.

I must bring peace and harmony back to this kingdom.

That's him?

Yes, there's no doubt about it.

He hates the devil even more than others in the Magic Parliament.

Let's go.

Pardon me.

Master Kabwe, I presume?

I am indeed Kabwe. Have we met before?

No, we have not.

May we have some of your time?

I'm sorry, but I'm a bit busy...

I lost my family in the attack by the Eye of the Midnight Sun.

Not just my family. My town burned, and many perished.

I'm sorry to hear that.

There are many in this kingdom who are suffering just as you are.

Yes, you're exactly right.

Are you not also going through the same thing, Kabwe?

How did you know that?

We want your help so that we can seek revenge for the many victims.

My help?

What do you intend to do?

I... We want to destroy the servants of the devil with our own hands.

The servants of the devil?

It appears that I'll have to hear more about this.

Yes.

That would be appreciated.

As the royal capital began to calm down

after the Eye of the Midnight Sun's attack...

The Wizard King Julius Novachrono was

swamped with paperwork from the aftermath of the attack,

and the Magic Knights were training vigorously daily so that

they could take on the threats of the Spade Kingdom and the devil.

What's wrong, Noelle?

Come at me more! Come on!

I could keep going, but I'm a bit thirsty. Let's take a little break.

I'm not thirsty yet, though!

But I am! And I'm royalty!

You always say that, but that has nothing to do with anything, does it?

Shut up! I said we're taking a break, so we're taking a break!

You just keep working out, then, Meathead Asta.

What's Noelle so mad about? What do you think, Nero?

Dunno.

Guess I will work out, then.

One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six!

Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten! Eleven!

Twelve! Thirteen! Fourteen! Fifteen! Sixteen!

Hey, Gauche, Finral.

Hey, Noelle. Could you get me a glass of water, too?

Get one yourself.

Again, I have seniority here...

The hideout sure is quiet today.

Everyone but Henry is out training.

And you're slacking?

I'm just taking a short break!

What about you? Were you off seeing Marie again?

What?

Wh-What?

I was training this good-for-nothing.

I'm going to go serve my angel, Marie, later.

So you are going.

Yeah, I'm beat.

The combo move we came up with using my spatial magic and his mirror magic...

The timing's just been impossible to get down.

I need to go cleanse my body before I go see my angel.

It'd be rude to go see her drenched in sweat.

Sister Theresa's apparently gone until tonight.

Apparently, all the sisters from the church are getting together or something.

So he's going to go see her before the sister comes back.

Or rather, he's forcing me to take him...

When the cat's away, the mice will, well, you know...

Marie, I'll come to see you soon.

Gauche, I'll wash your back for you.

I hope you'll wash my back, too.

1,090! 1,091! 1,092! 1,093!

1,094! 1,095! 1,096! 1,097!

1,098! 1,099! 1,100! 1,101!

How long is he going to keep that up?

1,102! 1,103! 1,104! 1,105! 1,106!

Maybe I should take him something to eat.

Even I can make a sandwich.

A Town in the Common Realm, Nean

Here it comes, Marie!

There!

Nice kick!

There. That must be her.

Yes. That's Marie Adlai.

The daughter of a fallen noble. Her older brother is a former criminal, and...

She was controlled by a devil during the attack and harmed many innocent people.

Let's take care of this before the old hag from the church returns.

Indeed.

I'm sorry.

Servant of the devil... You're coming with me!

You brat...

What are you doing to Marie?!

Are you planning to take her again?

We won't let you take her!

No way!

Little brats...

Who the heck are they?

H-Hey! Theresa! Theresa!

Theresa's out right now.

Th-They're trying to take Marie!

Wh-Who are you guys?!

Neige!

We are the Devil Banishers!

Devil... I won't let you take Marie!

Snow Magic: Snow Cry!

Of course this happens when Theresa isn't here...

There are more of them?

Snow Magic—

Wh-When did they...

I couldn't sense their mana.

Neige!

Hey! Stop! Let go!

Stop!

Everyone!

You're not getting away again, servant of the devil.

But I'm not a servant of the devil...

We must return the scale that's tilted toward darkness back to the light.

Y-You lot!

What are you going to do with her?!

We need to contact the Magic Knights!

Let's go!

Marie...

Marie!

Marie!

Someone... Save me! Big Brother! Big Brother!

What's the matter?

I thought I heard an angel call for me just now.

You're hearing things.

I'm sure Marie must be anxious to see me, too.

What in the world is that? Is that for the magical beasts?

How rude! It's a sandwich!

If you want a bite, just say so!

No, I don't want it.

Hey, Finral.

Wake up! Let's go.

Sure, whatever.

Seriously, none of you know how to treat a senior comrade.

All right, Noelle. We're going out for a bit.

Not a bit. We'll be gone for a while!

If Yami finds out, I'm gonna get a scolding, too.

Here.

Now, I should...

8,122! 8,123! 8,124! 8,125!

8,126! 8,127! 8,128!

How long are you going to do this?

Until 10,000!

Wait... 8,003?! No!

I lost count because you talked to me!

Now I need to start back at one!

One, two, three, four, five, six...

That must be Asta.

Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve...

Yes. He has no mana and cannot use magic, but somehow he joined the Magic Knights.

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen...

He's nothing but a filthy devil's servant.

Let's do this.

All is according to plan.

131, 132, 133, 134...

135... 136?

Huh? Only one person?

What's the matter?

Hey, talk to me! What happened?

T-Take this, please.

What is this?

Poison?

Your mixing abilities are quite impressive.

Thank you.

I thought we only had the devil-possessed boy here,

but apparently the girl who used forbidden magic is here, too.

Luck must be on our side.

So this is Nero.

Look at those horns... She's clearly a devil.

They're proof that she used forbidden magic.

Now, let us capture them.

Stop!

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! Let go!

How can he be so strong?!

I'm losing consciousness...

Let go of Nero!

Asta...

What are you doing?!

Get away from Asta and Nero!

Sealing Magic: Inverse Release!

My body... Crap! I'm gonna di...

Let's hurry and take them.

Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's...

Plant Magic: The Flower on the Roadside!

Water—

Sand Magic: Sandscreen!

Let's go!

You're not getting away!

It seems really noisy outside...

Asta! Nero!

She's fast!

Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Waterball!

Crap!

Let's give up for now.

Yes.

I a-apologize...

Transparency Magic:

Share the Same Fate!

Hold it! Who are you?!

We are the Devil Banishers.

We wish for the demise of the devil.

You're not getting away! Give Nero back!

I can't sense their mana.

Nero!

Asta!

How could they do that to little children?

Wh-What's going on?

It's terrible! Marie was...

What?!

Asta, wake up!

Asta!

Asta, don't die!

Make one of your stupid faces and laugh! Asta!

They took Nero and Marie... Just what are they after?!
