03x36 - In Zara's Footsteps

Post by bunniefuu »

In Clover Kingdom

where magic determines everything,

the only boy who cannot use magic

is called Asta.

With hard work and determination,
he joins the Magic Knights.


Despite being wounded and bruised,
he is still determined


to keep fighting towards his goal
with all his might.


Peasants or nobles,

poor or rich,

anyone in this world can shine.

He's working hard to prove that

and to become the Magic Emperor.

TOLSA

Are these flowers for me?

Yes. You like this flower, don't you?

Don't you have to sell them?

It's okay because you're my idol, Zara.

Father!

Zora, come here for a second.

I'll take my leave now.

What is it?

Aren't these flowers fragrant, Zora?

I love this scent!

I know.

How troublesome.

I'm not doing this.

Training together is nonsense.

I'm not here to make friends
with you guys.

Who knows what will happen
if I hang out with those Black Bull guys?


That's why I went on this journey
for special training.


But how long do I have to keep doing this?

Right, Father?

ZARA IDEALE

Was it someone from the village?

That's unlikely.

Father was the first peasant
to become a Magic Knight


and it is true that he was called
the pride of Tolsa, but…


That was a long time ago.

Damn it.

He doesn't even have a grimoire.

That's not half bad.

Well, keep doing your best--

Who's there?

I'm sorry.

You hit the target from so far away!

Your Fire Magic is amazing, Kaito!

I can't wait to see your performance
in the Magic Knights Entrance Exam!

That's enough. It's just a simple trick.

He's probably a noble on a vacation
at the nearby summer resort.


Why are you looking at me like that?

Apologize!

How dare you demand an apology from Kaito!

You had better watch it!

Don't be like that.
He doesn't even have a grimoire.

Don't speak
to a peasant's child like that.

Here you go.

Will that do?

Let's go.

Yes, I'm just a peasant.

But just wait until I turn years old
and get my grimoire!

Don't tell me you're going to say
you'll join the Magic Knights?

I will! I'm going to join
the Magic Knights!

I suggest you give up on that.
It's impossible for a peasant.

There are peasants in the Magic Knights
who have promising futures!

Is that true?

There has been a lot of talk
about that lately.

I'm sure they only got in
because they had dirt

on the Magic Knights or something.

Zara Ideale didn't do that!

Zara Ideale?

I've never heard of him.

Which squad?

Purple Orca.

Purple Orca?

Isn't that the squad
that was plagued with scandals

and had its captain replaced?

Zara was an amazing Magic Knight!

How so?

What were his achievements?

What? You can't come up with any?

He d*ed during a mission.

I knew it!

A peasant will be a peasant.
Stay in this village until you die!

Shut up!

What's with that lousy magic?

Teach him a lesson.

Got it!

Peasant!

Apologize to Kaito!

No!

Apologize!

I didn't do anything wrong!

Really?

Stop it already.

Who are you?

-That stinks!
-Wait!

That power just now…

Damn peasant! This isn't over!

Are you an idiot?

You were up against three people.
Don't provoke them in their face.

You don't even have a grimoire yet.

You can't win.

Use your brain for a bit.

However,

you said that Zara Ideale
was an amazing Magic Knight.

That part is true.

Ina, is that you over there?

Father!

Ina, why do you look like that?

Don't tell me…

This masked guy saved me.

What? I'm sorry to have troubled you then.

Ina, tell me what happened.

What did you do that
you can't tell me about?

A peasant will be a peasant.
Stay in this village until you die!


Why am I a peasant's child?

What?

If I weren't born a peasant,

I probably would've had
a better talent for magic.

If you weren't my father…

Hey!

Wait!

The child is right.

What?

If I weren't like this,

he wouldn't need to work
to help out the family.

Then he would have more time
to practice magic.

I am a bad father.

Let go!

Where are you going?

I think I have seen
that young man before somewhere.

What do you want?

Cool Mask Guy.

-What?
-Call me that.

What are you talking about?

Shorty, listen up.

No, Snotty-nosed Shorty.

Who are you calling Snotty-nosed Shorty?

You probably know this,
but I'll remind you again.

The amazing mage you spoke of
was also a peasant.

So what?

Do you want to say that
I'm not at all like him?

It's true that

Zara Ideale never lamented his upbringing

nor did he ever blame anyone
for impeding his progress.

Mask Guy, did you know Zara?

It's Cool Mask Guy.

Anyway, you are right about one thing.

You are not at all like him.

I know that.

I'm aiming too high.

Aiming too high?

Yes.

You're a peasant. How could you think
about getting into the Magic Knights?

I've lost track of how many times
I've failed the entrance exam, Zora.

I still don't believe for a second that
I'm aiming too high.

What?

I'm always talking about getting
into the Magic Knights, aren't I?

That's because I believe
I'll definitely be able to do it!

You said you want to join
the Magic Knights, right?

You heard that?

Do you think I can't?

Nobody said you can't.

But you're saying that

because you believe
you can definitely do it, right?

In that case,
that's not called "aiming too high."

That's what Zara Ideale used to say.

"Because I believe
I can definitely do it"?

Snotty-nosed Shorty,
let me tell you one good thing.

I don't have a snotty nose!

What's that?

Is that doll yours?

This is called Supermage Zora.

I'm already years old.

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

He is a warrior
who secretly protects his kingdom.

What kind of story is that?

Are you into playing with dolls?

Zora is also the child of a peasant,

yet he never envied the nobles or royals

because he can do something that
they can never do.

Don't ignore my question!

What can he do that
nobles and royals can't do?

Guess what he can do.

How would I know?

I figured.

If you don't know,
then you won't get to join

the Magic Knights.

Zora is also the child of a peasant,

yet he never envied the nobles or royals

because he can do something that
they can never do.

Guess what he can do.

Ina, let's have some food.

I can handle
the afternoon's work on my own.

Just focus on practicing your magic.

You were lucky yesterday.

But how dare you embarrass me?

I'm here to return the favor.

Peasant, do you know what this is?

A magic tool?

With this…

Hey.

That's not a child's toy.

Apologize to me.

It's easy, isn't it?

You just have to kneel and bow to me.

I didn't do anything wrong!

What did you just say?

You won't get off
with just a minor injury.

Hurry and…

Moron!

This is the second time.

Stick to playing
with children's toys instead.

You're really strong.

You're not a Magic Knight, are you?

Who knows?

Ina.

Are you that thief?

Is there a problem?

What are you doing to my son?

See?

Is that a magic tool?

Your son stole this from my villa.

I didn't!

Are you denying it?

The magic tool is in your hands, right?

Your son took it!

I only picked it up
after he threw it away!

Is that so?

Kaito.

Don't be fooled by him, Father.

A peasant's word can't be trusted.

Isn't that what you taught me?

I nearly forgot.

Come!

Thief, I'm going to send you
to the Royal Capital to be punished!

Ina!

Let go!

I'm not a thief!

Let go of my son!

And if I don't?

I trust my son.

I won't let you take my son!

Father.

You're just a mere peasant.

Know your place!

Father!

What?

Father, the flowers!

Don't worry.

If you hadn't att*cked,

you wouldn't have to get hurt.

That magic earlier…

You won't be arrogant for long!

I have conclusive evidence
that your child is a thief!

I'll just ask the Magic Knights
to deal with you!

Then allow me to see
that evidence of yours.

Who are you?

That robe.

The Black Bull!

He really is…

Good timing!

I need you to capture
these thieves for me!

Weren't you going to show me evidence?

Right.

You saw him steal it
from the villa, right?

Well…

I happen to have witnessed
your son with a magic tool,

harassing that snotty-nosed shorty.

After I intervened,

this young boy
dropped the magic tool and fled.

I saw it with my own eyes.

I'm guessing your father found
out the magic tool was missing,

so you wanted to pin the blame
on that snotty-nosed shorty.

You're the thief.

It's said that lying is the first step
to becoming a thief.

You're the exact opposite though,

you stupid degenerate noble.

Kaito, is this true?

This is the proof.

What happened?

You're the culprit, aren't you?

Yes, I'm sorry!

Wait, Kaito!

I'll let you off for today!

Are you kidding me?

As the saying goes,
"Like father, like son."

I haven't seen
a worse father and son pair.

I've seen plenty of corrupted nobles,

but you're not even fit to raise a child!

You're a corrupted noble
and a terrible father!

You don't deserve to keep this.

Get lost now or I'll k*ll you!

Okay!

They even flee the same way.

Father.

Father, I didn't know
your magic was so powerful.

I failed the Magic Knights Entrance Exam
many times.

It's embarrassing.

This injury was from
failing the examination.

But still, I can't give up.

Even to this day, I continue
to practice magic while working.


It's because I want to become
like the person I admire.


He also failed many times

before finally getting in.

I'm sure he put in a lot of effort.

Zora is also the child of a peasant,

yet he never envied the nobles or royals

because he can do something that
they can never do.

Guess what he can do.

Cool Mask Guy, I get it now.

Cool Mask Guy?

The thing that Zora can do is--

In that case, don't you have something
to say to your father?

I'm sorry, Father.

I shouldn't have said that.

Ina.

Father, I'm sure you can join
the Magic Knights!

Not just me.

Let's work hard together, Ina.

Okay!

By the way,

why did you help someone like me?

No reason.

All right.

So you really are Supermage.

What?

You're a Magic Knight.
You're wearing a robe, aren't you?

I'm not qualified to be Supermage.

I'm working hard to become
a true Magic Knight.

Just like you.

I will join the Magic Knights!

Do your best, Snotty-nosed Shorty.

Okay!

A Rainbow Stink Bug?

It stinks!

I will be the next Magic Emperor.

No.

It's me.

They're not afraid to say that

because they believe they can do it.

Just watch, Father.

The Magic Stages or something?

I'll first make Stage Zero my goal.

I guess I could help train the other
Black Bull members while I'm at it.

Those jerks are such a handful.

-Petite Clover!
-Petite Clover!


Supermage Zora!

Look, it's Supermage Zora,
an enforcer of justice!

But I'm already years old.

I'm now years old.

So I gave it a makeover to go with my age!

Newly assembled, painted,
and fully mobile.

Supermage Zora, defender of justice!

-Hey!
-Crap!

So you really do like playing with dolls!

Wait, this is--

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

He is a warrior
who secretly protects his kingdom.

Did you really make up
such a delusional story?

No, my father, Zara Ideale, made it up.

Lying is the first step
to becoming a thief.

Zara was an amazing Magic Knight!

He wouldn't have made up such dumb stuff!

I'm not lying!

That totally wasn't my style

as I'm naturally sensitive.

I guess visiting my hometown
made me sentimental.
