02x20 - The Uncrowned, Undefeated Lioness

[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.

After the main event
of the Star Festivals Award ended,

which is to announce
the Magic Knights' achievements,

the King made an important announcement.

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

Thus, I will form
an elite hand-picked squad

from among the Magic Knights

called the Royal Knights.

Asta and Yuno,
who were still excited about it…

You idiot!

They ran into Mereoleona Vermillion,
the new captain of the Crimson Lion,

who scolded her squad
like the devil of fury.

The Crimson Lion

had only placed first or second.

You actually got such humiliating results
and came in fifth!

Because my inane brother is bed-ridden,
you let this happen?

Are you infants?

What's "inane"?

It means her stupid young brother.

Younger brother? Who might that be?

That's Captain Fuegoleon.

So this scary lady

is Fuegoleon and Leo's sister?

Crap, this idiotic Fuegoleon

raised a bunch of idiots!

He left behind a bunch of trash

while he sleeps soundly
like a young master!

That idiot doesn't deserve
to be a captain!

That's not true!

Fuegoleon is a much greater captain
than anyone else!

That's right.

We have learned how to be a true knight

from Captain Fuegoleon!

He might be strict,

but he is passionate about
us than anyone else!

And he cares about this kingdom!

He is the best Magic Knight!

I won't let anyone insult him,
not even you--

If so, don't just be all talk!

Show me what you are made of!

Show me that you are the strongest squad

led by the best captain!

That fool won't die

and forsake you or the kingdom
just like that!

Until he returns,

show me how strong

the Crimson Lion squad
that you are so proud of!

I have no choice but to train you

until my inane brother is back.

Why are you not answering?

-Yes!
-Yes!

How passionate!

So embarrassing.

I wonder
what extra crazy training awaits them!

All right.

Let's go to the Hot Spring Training Camp.

Did she say hot spring?

If it's what I think it is,
that's so relaxing, isn't it?

Indeed.

I heard that.

If that's the case, you should come along.

I think I have been grabbed.

I can't. I'm from the other squad.

Besides, I can't just leave
with some strangers.

Asta, do you want to come along
as my rival too?

No!

Well, see you at the exam, Asta.

Yuno, wait for me!

You need to come too.

Are you serious?

Wait, that doesn't seem appropriate
for Yuno given his character!

Get your paws of fire off him!

I don't give a damn about that.

Belle, say no more.

It will just make her more passionate.

All right.

Since you have been caught by my sister,
there is no escaping for you.

She has no interest in w*r or politics.

That's why she is a hidden power
who has never appeared in public.

If she were to fight, she might just
be more powerful than Fuegoleon.

She is Mereoleona Vermillion,

the Uncrowned, Undefeated Lioness.

Let's see how powerful the two of you are,

the two best rookies.

We got caught in a real problem!

CLOSED FOR PRIVATE PARTY

This wine is really good.

All the captains of the squads
who are below Black Bull.

Charlotte, are you all right?

Call me Captain.

Yes, Charlotte.

You always come in last place every year.

Stop being arrogant just because
you were ranked among the best.

How does it feel to be beaten by a squad
that always comes in last place?

Shut up already,
or I'll shut your filthy mouth.

To think you still have the time
to braid your bangs

after being beaten
by the filthy-mouthed Black Bulls.

Don't you find that embarrassing?

I'm going to k*ll you!

Do you want to start a fight?

Mercury Magic, Silver Spear!

Sir, please do not use magic in here.

This is on the house.

Sorry about that.

It's good.

That's right, Nozel.

This is a place for drinking
and entertainment.

Speaking of which, Yami,

you can't be absent.

By the way,
you have an interesting hairstyle.

Sir, please do not use magic in here.

This is on the house.

Sorry about that.

So sorry.

Thank you.

This is good.

What are you doing? Sore losers.

If that's the case, let me--

I'll spare you today
for the sake of the wine.

What's going on?
Everyone is behaving today.

Did you slip some strange medicine
in the wine?

Yami.

You are awesome.

Unlike me.
I have only come in last place once!

It's so depressing
that I'm about to have a mental breakdown.

But you have always come
in the last place.

Yet, it didn't bother you at all.

You have such an extraordinary heart.

You are just so awesome.
Just so unbelievable!

There must be a lot of hair on your heart.

You are the embodiment of insanity!

You are such a freak!

Right.

Gosh. I'm not following you at all.

Yami, we will see it next year.

Are you leaving already?

I can have a few rounds with you tonight,
Skinny Monkey.

Cut the crap!

Well, I'll just drink by myself then.

A celebration for climbing up the ranks.

You get carried away
for climbing up the ranks once.

Sisgoleon.

Who are you calling sister?

You are Fuegoleon's sister.
Doesn't that make you Sisgoleon?

My siblings and I don't randomly
use such nicknames to address ourselves.

What?

I thought you used the same term
as endings for your names.

Nonsense.

Hi, Captain Yami.

Little Brat, you got caught?

What's going on?

Actually, I'm not so sure myself.

You are coming too.

You weren't late for the announcement.
Instead, you were absent.

Wait a second.

It looks like you are slacking off,
so I'll help you train again.

No, wait a second. I'm a captain.

Serves you right, Yami.

-You are coming too.
-What?

What are you doing to her?

What are you doing?

I don't know what's going on.

But don't be afraid.
I'll come with you, Charlotte!

Call me Captain.

Idiosta, here you are!

You should come along
and send Kahono and the others off.

Also, we got second place
not because of you alone.

Mereoleona…

Long time no see. Take care.

Are you…

Noelle?

Yes.

You are coming too.

What? Wait a second!
This has nothing to do with me!

We are caught like a bunch of grapes!

There goes my image.

Shut up!

Hold on. Where are we going?

I heard it's the hot springs.

Hot springs?

By the way, Noelle,

help me scratch my back.

-Don't be silly!
-It hurts!

Didn't I tell you to shut up?

Thank you for your patronage.

Things seem to be getting
more interesting.

GRAND MAGIC ZONE
ULTIME-VOLCANO MOUNTAIN TRAIL

Hot springs?

All right. Let's get moving, you idiots!

This is the Ultime-Volcano Mountain Trail,
a fiery Grand Magic Zone.

There is a large concentration
of magic deep underground

and it constantly ejects lava.

Usually, no one will come near this place.

At the top of the mountain,

there is a magnificent hot spring.

So? Are you excited or what?

Get moving and start climbing!

As if we will get excited about it.

What kind of hellish place is this?

But the hot spring…

Sol.

Help me wash my back.

I can get in the hot spring
with Charlotte. This is great!

Sol, you don't have to come.

What are you talking about?

Charlotte, I'll follow you
wherever you go.

Even to the hot spring.

Call me Captain.

Yes, Charlotte.

If that's the case, Asta,

let's see who will race
to the summit first!

Sure, challenge accepted, idiot!

Bring it on!

Join us, Yuno of the Golden Dawn.

Whatever.

Is this what being cool is like?

I'm not good at this.

You will get used to it.

Stop dragging your feet!
Get your asses moving!

Here we go!

Watch me use my magic to get through it!

What's with the heat?

The magic in the atmosphere is going wild.

My sweat glands are about to explode!
I can’t breathe!

My chest is burning.

And we have to climb up
this erupting volcano in this condition?

That's just impossible.

Will Sisgoleon come after me
if I try to duck out?

Jeez. No turning back then.

Why did Mereo bring me here?

I have no choice.
I just sobered up anyway.

If I can't cross this mountain,
it will bring shame to the women.

I must get to the top in a flash.

As expected of the captains!

The magma is nothing to them!

No, a better question is,

why are they able to move freely
in this condition?

Amazing!

I get it!

It's Mana Skin!

All Magic Knights use magic power
at one point or another

to improve their physical abilities
during battle.

One basic spell where this ability
is polished to perfection is Mana Skin.

Yami and Charlotte can release their magic
in an orderly manner

even when they are in a magically
unstable environment.

They are always using a coating
of magic to protect themselves.

Mana Skin?

That's indeed something
that every Magic Knight can do.

But to maintain it for a long time
in such a harsh environment,

that's not something
that can be done overnight.

No, it can be done!

We need to slowly get the feel of it
to adapt to the magic here

and get to the summit

before we use up all our magic!

This is the best environment
to retrain ourselves!

-Let's go!
-Yes!

It's so hot! What kind of place is this?

-Mana Skin?
-Yuno, what hellish place is this?

It's so hot!

It's so cooling.

Yuno!

Asta, you'd better be there before I faint
from oversoaking in the hot spring.

Asta, I'll get going first.

Leo!

Damn it!
Yuno, aren't you going to wait for me?

I want to be like Charlotte

and soak in the hot spring with her!

Damn it, Sisgoleon.

She must have brought us here

to set an example for the Crimson guys.

Especially Charlotte,

because places like this aren't suitable
for her magical attributes.

That makes her the best example.

As for Mr. Cool Guy,
Golden Dawn's top rookie,

he will inspire the youngsters
of the same generation.

Sisgeloen sure is a shrewd lady.

Stop dragging on your feet and get moving!

No, maybe it's an instinct?
I can't make heads or tails of it.

Mana Skin?

This is a tough one for me

considering how bad I am
at controlling magic.

My water attribute should put me
at an advantage here.

I just said that I haven't met Mereoleona
for some time

and she dragged me here all of a sudden.

Why did she do that?

Noelle, what did you say?

Nothing!

Have you resolved to climb to the top?

I'm asking you a question!
Have you resolved to climb to the top?

I have.

I can tell

that the girl who was always afraid
of her siblings has changed.

Not just on the outside,

but even on the inside,
you are starting to be like your mother.

Not only did that lady

had the strength of a Magic Knight,

but she also had a strong heart.

Thank you. The flowers are beautiful.

You are going to give birth soon, right?

Yes.

After giving birth, you can go back
to the b*ttlefield again, right?

Do you have to cry for that?

Did the kids tell you?

You are an indispensable member
of the Magic Knights, Acier.

Yet, why are you risking your life…

As a member of the Magic Knights,

once you have resolved
to go to the b*ttlefield,

you have to fight to the end

for the kingdom and the people
even if it means risking your life, right?

Likewise, once a woman is pregnant

with a child in her belly,

she will do whatever it takes
to protect the child's life.

That's what a mother is.

There is nothing more powerful
than a woman

who has resolved herself
just like your mother.

Since you have decided to do it,

get moving and climb.

Yes!

Damn!

Everyone has gone up ahead.

There is no way I can overcome this
with just muscles and guts.

I can't cut the heat with my sword.

Damn it!

You can go home.

It's impossible for someone
who has no magic

to climb this mountain.

They said you are the second place rookie.

Here I thought
there was something special about you.

It looks like your luck

has only brought you this far.

You have impressive luck.

Since you have such good luck,

you might just become the Magic Emperor

even if you can't climb this mountain.

If you get it, just go home then.

I'm not going back!

We…

What do I have to do

-to become a Magic Emperor?
-To become a Magic Emperor?

We can't achieve our goal

just by relying on mere luck.

It's achievements.

Keep on climbing then!

Dignity alone can't protect people.

Trust comes naturally
when you have achievements.

There's only one requirement we ask
of a Magic Emperor.

It would be impossible for a fool

who doesn't even know his own limits
to climb the mountain!

It's what we called
the strongest achievement.

I will climb up to prove to you

that our dreams are built on
actual achievements!

-Petite Clover!
-Petite Clover!

Let's Talk with Dorothy!

Dorothy, let's talk.

Dorothy, do you have any interest
other than sleeping?

Let me guess.

Let's see. Perhaps dancing?

Or perhaps, cooking?

Is hamburger steak your signature dish?

As for dessert, it's caramel pudding?

I'd love to try your cooking.

Right, let's play.

If I win, you will cook for me.

Ready? Rock, paper, scissors!

And you call yourselves
members of the glorious Magic Knights?

Don't give up till the end!

Then, get into the hot spring!

Black Clover, Page ,

"Saint Elmo's Fire."

My magic is in laying
all the cards on the table!
