02x19 - Two New Stars

[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.

The Star Awards Festival is a ceremony
that will announce

the number of stars to be granted
by the Magic Emperor to the Magic Knights.

The squad with the most stars

is the most active of the year

and will receive unprecedented glory.

The merit announcement
of Magic Knights will start soon.

I heard all the captains are there.

The new captains of Crimson Lion
and Purple Orca are there as well!

All the captains are there?

I'm late.

Oh no. What should I do?

Thank you for coming.

Look!

It's the Magic Emperor!

The Magic Knights merit announcement
will be made by me.

The Magic Emperor will do it himself?

So cool!

After the announcement,
the King will get on stage. Enjoy.

Magic Emperor!

It's the Magic Emperor!
He is super famous!

Anyway…

As we all know,

Clover Kingdom is facing

invasion by the Diamond Kingdom
and the Spade Kingdom.

The Eye of the Midnight Sun,
a t*rror1st group, has risen.

It makes our challenges ahead
even harsher.

Even the capital was att*cked

and many of our people were sacrificed.

I planned to halt
the Star Awards Festival this year.

But, because we are in such a hard time,

we should give more encouragement
to those who fought for us.

This is why the festival goes on.

Now, everyone, please welcome

our country's pride,

captains of the nine Magic Knights squads!

-Captains!
-Captains!

Nozel Silva, Captain of Silver Eagle.

Jack the Ripper, Captain of Green Mantis.

Dorothy Unsworth,
Captain of Coral Peacock.

Rill Boismortier, Captain of Azure Deer.

The new Captain of Crimson Lion,

Mereoleona Vermillion.

The new captain is a woman.

I heard she is the sister
of the former captain Fuegoleon,

and her Fire Magic is as strong
or even stronger than his.

The new Captain of Purple Orca,

Kaiser Granvorka.

This is another new captain.

I heard many things
have gone wrong in Orca.

I look forward to their performance.

Lastly, Captain of Golden Dawn,

William Vangeance.

Mr. Vangeance!

No doubt that Golden Dawn
will come first this year too.

Do you think someone is missing here?

Now that you have said it…

I kept reminding them to be punctual.

I'm not surprised about Yami

but, weirdly, Charlotte is late too.

Come on, is there a problem
just at the beginning?

You are the one causing the problem.

Let's rejoice.

The rankings will now be announced.

The champion is

Golden Dawn.

The number of stars is…

!

It's much higher than their record
of last year.

Amazing!

They are unstoppable!

Golden Dawn is spectacular.

Golden Dawn has given us
their incredible performance again.

Now, let's invite the members of the squad

that has made the most contribution.

The newcomer who has tamed
the Wind Spirit Sylph,

Yuno.

Yuno?

Look, a pretty boy!

He is handsome.

Yuno, well done!

He is good.

Of course.

MEMBER OF GOLDEN DAWN
ALECDORA SANDLER

VICE CAPTAIN OF GOLDEN DAWN
LANGRIS VAUDE

Yuno, I'll catch up with you.

Now, the second runner-up.

Is it still Crimson Lion?

No, they must have been affected
by their former captain's injury.

Is it Silver Eagle?

I hope it's the Blue Rose.

But why isn't Lady Charlotte here?

Hey, girl.

Would you like
to enjoy the festival with me?

That cape

is Black Bull's.

No, I wouldn't.

You will come last like last year, right?

Now, the first runner-up.

We don't need to hear it.
We are always the last.

Black Bull.

-What?
-What?

Seriously?

The number of stars they got is…

!

We came in second place? Really?

Is it true? Oh my.

-Is this a joke? How is that possible?
-Incredible!

I'm surprised.

I thought their ranking would be better,

but first runner-up…

That problematic squad?

Is there something wrong?

Did they thr*aten someone?

They must have used nasty means.

It's fair and square!

Black Bull risked their lives

to fight Eye of the Midnight Sun
to save us!

They couldn't have done
anything dishonest.

Kahono. Kiato.

They have helped us too.

Some of them are rude,
but they are soft inside.

No wonder why everyone is in shock.

Because last year,

Black Bull made history
by getting minus stars.

But this year, it's different.

They made a huge improvement
and got this ranking.

The specifically impressive ones
are the newcomers…

But their captain is not here.

Hey, is there anyone related
to Black Bull here?

My heart can't take this.

Hey, buddy.
Aren't you guys members of Black Bull?

Sadly, there is a man

who is more qualified than us
to get on the stage.

Yes.

Where is that guy?

I'll let you do it this time.

Get on your grand stage.

What?

Little Brat, they are talking about you.

Gosh, that's dangerous.

You're here, Asta.

Yes, Yuno.

Yuno!

Asta!

Their growth
has overwhelmingly surpassed us.

Asta, you got so many stars.

But be wary,

I'm the one who will become Magic Emperor.

It's me!

And your squad took
the champion title with a new record.

You should be wary!

I'll get double your stars!

I'll be your double then.

What did you say?

I'll be your quintuple!

So how many multiples
of my stars will you get?

Well, double my double and quintuple…

Nine?

It's , you idiot.

You're annoying.

What an astonishing way to get on stage.

He is the most active newcomer
in Black Bull,

-Asta.
-Goodness.

Thank you. Hello.

Among the newcomers,
Yuno and Asta's numbers of stars

are the first and second.

They are the new stars.

They have been in their respective squads
for a few months

and made these remarkable merits.

They also grew up together
in the same hometown.

They are both nearly years old.

These two are young but very strong.

I wonder which family they belong to?

They are both peasants.

That guy called Asta

does not have any magical power.

Peasant?

Really?

And no magical power?

Did they really get the stars
with their own power?

-What's wrong with those people?
-Belle.

What?

Use your full power.

This will be fun.

Yuno, what are you doing?

Asta.

Remember the training we did together
when we were little.

Why do you always make surprise att*cks?

That hit was way stronger than
when we were little.

Are you trying to k*ll me on my stage?

You are too weak if that can k*ll you.

But you are still alive.

What?

That power is unbelievable.

But he blocked it.

We're in completely different dimensions.

Those who have witnessed their power

and still doubt their merits,
please step forward.

They were indeed peasants,

but they are more hardworking
than everyone else.

The proud countrymen

of the Clover Kingdom standing here,

please give applause
to these two new Magic Knights.

Let's overcome the difference of class

and lead this united country to victory!

Magic Emperor!

The peasants can be strong too.

True, this is not the time
to care about classes.

Let's fight together!

Yuno.

Yes.

We are…

finally here.

Let's announce the rest of the rankings

in this lively atmosphere!

The second runner-up, Silver Eagle,
with stars.

Fourth, Blue Rose, with stars.

Fifth, Crimson Lion, with stars.

Sixth, Green Mantis, with stars.

Seventh, Coral Peacock, with stars.

Eighth, Purple Orca, with stars.

Ninth, Azure Deer, with stars.

Surprise!

The Magic Knights merit announcement
has now come to an end.

Squads, I wish you all the best
in the coming year.

Last?

Why? Why is that?

It's because you always draw
some stupid pictures.

And never get yourself together.

Oh no.

Asta, how did you get so many stars?

Please, let me go, it hurts…

-Is he really the captain?
-No, unless you answer me.

I lost to Black Bull.

I lost to the squad that Noelle is in?

Congratulations, Noelle.

Sure.

We will come first next time.

Please dance with me until then.

-All hail Magic Knights!
-Thank you, everyone!

This will be the end
of the merit announcement!

Here comes…

the King of Clover Kingdom.

King?

What is the King of this country like?

Yuno, do you know?

No.

It's quite hyped up for entertainment.

Welcome your King
with your loudest cheers.

Come on, my people…

KING, AUGUSTUS KIRA CLOVER XIII

Praise your King!

Don't stand beside your King.

You should show respect.

Yes.

My people, greetings.

I am the King of Clover Kingdom,

Augustus Kira Clover XIII.

All hail the King!

Can't you praise me a bit more?

Why did he suddenly go mad?

What a scene.

It's the King. I am the King.

The greatest person in this country.

Look, this holy power passed on
through generations.

My mind,

my look,

and my everything is correct.

I'm greater than the Magic Emperor.

Can't the Magic Emperor be the King?

I want the Magic Emperor to be our King.

Can't the Magic Emperor be the King?

I want the Magic Emperor to be our King.

My King, please calm down.

Damn you, Julius.

Only this guy is embraced by the people.

Also,

that Golden Dawn came first again.

They wear some weird masks

and step over the squad led by royalty.

I'm so annoyed.

I should show off a bit
to get the support of the people.

I have an announcement to make.

The Eye of the Midnight Sun's base
has been located.

What? Eye of the Midnight Sun's?

We were always the passive ones

and struck back only after their att*cks.

It's different now.

We will finally be launching
an attack against the enemy!

Thus, I must gather the best of the best

from among the Magic Knights

to form an elite hand-picked squad

called the Royal Knights!

One week after this,

I will assess all members
of the Magic Knights.

Only those who pass the assessment

can join my Royal Knights squad.

Then, we will eliminate
the Eye of the Midnight Sun.

Members of the Magic Knights,

sacrifice your grimoires for this country.

-Royal Knights!
-Royal Knights!

This is awesome.

Although Julius did the investigation
and came up with the idea,

it is now my merit.

Why should the King choose them?

I think Magic Emperors and the captains
are the strongest ones,

but not the King.

I've never heard of
any big achievements made by the King.

-Yuno, have you?
-No.

It shows that he has great magical power,

but he never contributes to his people.

You made a point.

I don't have magical power,
so I'm not sure.

I feel that the King

is somehow not that charismatic
or small-minded.

Hey, Asta, mind your words.

You can't tell the truth now.

So, I'm telling the truth, right?

That's an interesting kid.

Execute them!

Execute these two filthy people!

It's your fault.

Don't drag Yuno down.

Execution?

For real?

k*ll…

Hurry and k*ll them!

My King, please calm down.

Please pardon these two men

as a favor for me.

Someday, these two

might become the shields
that defend the king.

Executing your people
for something so trivial

will instead undermine your authority.

I have hopes for the Royal Knights.

Members of the Magic Knights,

show off your great strengths.

Of course we will.

If my squad members are picked,

we will receive more positive comments.

I'm still bothered
with losing to Yami's squad.

I'll try harder,
so I won't come last again.

This is definitely Sir Julius' proposal.

Only he can have these interesting ideas.

Magic Emperor,
I have made the King so mad.

I'm really sorry!

Apologize to me too.

I'm almost ex*cuted with you.

Since you aim at becoming Magic Emperor,

being Royal Knights
will let you gain more actual merits.

Yes.

You are strong,
but you are still a newbie.

Many fierce warriors will join
the assessment for sure.

Their power is unlike anything
you have seen.

It's what I want.

If we lose to that,

it means our power is still weak.

Be humble and keep going forward.

I'm waiting for you.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Royal Knights?

I wonder what it'll be like.

But I'll do my best!

Asta, don't cry
if I'm the only one picked.

Who is going to cry?

I'll pass.

I'll defeat the Eye of the Midnight Sun.

To do that,

I have to get used to using that power.

You idiot!

Crimson Lion is fifth?

How can you be this ridiculous?

All of you…

I better finish you off now

before dying in the missions, right?

What kind of hell is this?

-Petite Clover!
-Petite Clover!

Rill, the Artist.

I can't do it.

Rill, what are you doing?

The King asked me to draw
a portrait of him.

But no matter how hard I try,
I just can't do it right.

I didn't know you would get stuck too.

Should I say that this face can't boost
my desire to create?

I can't feel any flares of art in me.

Let me see.

It's amazing!

Who is this horrible woman?

Captain Fuegoleon's sister?

Black Clover, Page ,

"The Uncrowned, Undefeated Lioness."

It's been a long time since
I've last said it. Get ready.

My magic is in never giving up!
