03x31 - The Lion Awakens, Continued

[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.

Mereoleona Vermillion paid the Black Bull
a sudden visit at their base.

She took Asta and the others with her
without telling them why.

Their destination was

the Grand Magic Zone,
Ultime-Volcano Mountain.

This was where Asta, Noelle,

and the Crimson Lion squad
attended special training.

Mereoleona and Fuegoleon told them that

to prepare for the subsequent combats
with the devils,

they need more specialized training.

Okay, let's work hard and head
toward the hot spring at the peak!

Hold on.

This time, we are not climbing up.

You are going to go
to the bottom of the volcano.

The Ultime Underground Cave.

Asta and the rest had to take on fiery
magic unrivaled at the ground surface.

Their destination was the deepest
hot spring in the underground cave.

However…

Let me do it!

Fire Magic,

Spiral Flame!

With Leopold's full force blow,

the spider retreated.

They also found out about the shocking
secret of the underground cave.

Is that…

A dungeon?

This is getting more and more interesting.

Ms. Mereoleona, what was that?

You're too slow.

You idiots! How can you stroll around
with the Black Bull members?

Do you call yourselves Crimson Lion?

I'm sorry.

If Vice-Captain Randall was on his own,

he would have gotten here sooner.

It's our fault that we're so incompetent.

Also…

Why are you still eating?

Charmy, this is wrong.

Please read the situation.

I've reported back to Royal Capital
that a dungeon has appeared.

Before further instruction,
we should stand by.

-Aye.
-Aye.

Were you att*cked by that big spider too?

It could have gone anywhere,
but it had to hide in the dungeon.

I'm so looking forward to it.

You're crazy!

I was careless
and let the spider get away.

But I won't give up.

Mereoleona,

let us explore the dungeon.

Don't be arrogant.

You're an amateur who lets a bug get away.

How dare you talk big now?

But next time, I'll…

There's no next time on the b*ttlefield!

Correct your naive temperament
in the dungeon.

Aye.

You're as passionate as ever.

She still let him go
to the dungeon in the end.

Pay attention.

I just got an update from
Captain Fuegoleon.

It seems that in the dungeon,

there must be a powerful magic tool.

According to a historic record
Lord Julius found in the library,

someone was worried that a magic tool
would be used for evil,

so it was sealed at the bottom
of the Ultime-Volcano Mountain.

No further descriptions, other than that.

It is indeed a mystery.

Right, that is it.

Here you are again.

Please be quiet.

I'm sorry.

But I'm curious.

What kind of magic tool
is hidden in there?

I'm going there to see the others.

Absolutely not.

I will masquerade myself.

That's not the problem.

Who is he talking to?

Who knows?

It's the Magic Emperor.

The Magic Emperor.

In short, other than the magic tool,

the treasure in the dungeon

is also the invaluable wealth
that can reconstruct our kingdom.

Guys, please explore carefully.

Got it.

In that case…

Idiots, listen up!

Stake your honor as the Magic Knights,
the kingdom protectors,

and search the place thoroughly.

-Aye!
-Aye!

Mereoleona, next, let me,
the current captain of Crimson Lion…

Okay, hurry up and announce your plan.

Firstly, we'll form a pioneer team.

Asta with Noelle,

Leo with Randall, and Luck with Magna,

you'll take charge of finding
the magic tool hidden in the dungeon.

Once the others' magic recovers,
they will meet up with the advancing team.

And I will observe them in secret.

You can't go.

Okay, let's go!

-Aye!
-Aye!

It's hot in here.

Why is it so hot?

The heat just now is no match to this.

We haven't sensed
the magic of that spider yet.

But…

You're a commendable rival.
You've got rid of a trap right away.

No, that was an accident.

It's bad if we get stuck in this place.

He controlled his power to a degree
that won't trigger the Trap Magic.

He could pull off such difficult magic
so easily.

The Crimson Lion's Vice-Captain
is impressive indeed.

That way,
we will know where the traps are.

I'll go first.

Lightning Creation Magic,
Thunder God's Boots!

Wait up!

Fire Reinforcement Magic, Base Run Gamble!

You prick!

Don't step on the traps on purpose.

There are only two ways left.

My rival,

let's compete and see
who finds the magic tool first.

Let's!

He can move freely
in this magic-filled space.

Vice-Captain Randall, we have to hurry.

Okay.

By the way,
you truly are training more strictly

and have better results
than anyone else in the squad.

This level of training won't make
me catch up to my rival,

let alone catch up to him.

In the previous combat,

Asta had fought the devil.

He even managed to att*ck him.

I heard that other members of Black Bull

were very active at the frontline too.

My standard isn't good enough.

I see.

No wonder Captain Fuegoleon
and Ms. Mereoleona

had to get members of Black Bull
for the joint special training.

Leo, you learned something

from the battle as well, didn't you?

When my body was possessed by the elf

and I was fighting you…

What is this endless and wild magic?

Let's check it out.

Noelle, we can't keep going on like this.

Let's dash through it.

This is the dungeon.

Maybe only a muscular idiot
like you can do it.

Don't put me through this.

Well, I can piggyback you.

I'll carry you and dash forward.

Noelle, you will cover me from the back.

Carry me?

What are you talking about?

I'm a royal.

Noelle.

Asta?

Why are we going back?

We must retreat for now!

What's this…

Look.

Are these
the sculptures of the protectors?

Be careful.

The blow just now

was like an announcement of our position.

It's possible that it was to lure us here.

There you are.
You're not getting away this time!

What an agile prick.

Interesting.

Let me use the blazing flames
and burn everything down.

The Trap Magic near the entrance
has all been removed.

Okay, replenish our magic first.

Then, expand the area.

Aye.

Here, eat more.

Did you learn anything?

It was all for nothing.

Asta got us running away from the lava.

It was humiliating.

It was my fault?

We didn't learn anything either.

But I found a bunch of weird cases.

Here's one.

That's…

Why did you take it with you?

Don't ever open it!

-Close it up!
-Close it up!

Is that delicious?

I suggest you don't find out.

What is that?

Are Randall and Leo the only team members

who haven't got back yet?

They must have hit the jackpot.

Leo, let's go!

Okay!

-Burn away!
-Burn away!

Damn it!

There are too many of them.

The proud Crimson Lion

will never run away
with tails between our legs.

Wait!

Leo!

Randall!

Leo, retreat for now.

At least you must survive.

Leo, you're the man
who will be leading the squad one day.

We will buy you some time.

Take everyone who can't fight anymore
and get away from here!

It is just like the other day.

Why do I keep training for then?

This is…

Leo, you learned something

from the battle as well, didn't you?

That's right.

Back then, I was also fighting under
the powerful magic that Randall put up.

I couldn't even att*ck properly.

I had to rely on reading the mana
and grasp the way to create calm flames.

Leo!

-Are you all right?
-Asta!

Okay, let's wreak havoc!

Are you ready?
Even if you're not, I'm going forward.

I won't forget what you did to the food.

Gobbling the unknown ingredient up
is a grave sin.

See what you did to my friends?

Okay, we will strike back now.

Water Creation Magic, Sea Dragon's Roar!

Has the power of my magic gone up?

Is it because of the special training?

Eat this!

Fire Magic, Maximum Exploding Fireball!

Lightning Magic,
Thunderclap Crumbling Orb!

Poison Curse Magic,
Dwelling of the Poison Cloud!

Cotton Creation Magic,
Sleeping Sheep Strike!

Go help Leopold and Randall.

Roger!

There's more?

If we don't finish off the spider
that manipulates them,

they will keep coming.

-We have to go at it one more time.
-No.

Let me do it.

I have to fully master
what I was about to learn.

Leopold optimized his senses

and calmly read the flow of the mana.

This way, he is able to make
the surrounding mana his aid

and significantly increase
the explosiveness of his magic.

Incredible.

Leo!

This is the original form of the spider.

It seems the magic tool hidden here

can make the user lose control
of his life force

and turn into a devilish creature.

Great work on finding the treasure.

The experience gained
in this extreme environment

is going to be useful
when you fight the devils in the future.

-Aye.
-Aye.

I've grasped the key to Mana Skin.

The power of my magic
has increased significantly as well.

Speaking of magic,

Leo's last strike was amazing!

I felt quite foggy then.

What was that magic about?

If I can use it at will…

My rival, praise me more.

After learning that magic,

I'll be more powerful than you.

If so, I'll be more powerful than you.

Then, I'll be more,
more powerful than you.

I'll be more, more
and more powerful than you.

I'll be more, more, more,
and more powerful than you.

-I'll be more, more, more--
-More, more, more--

Stop it!

-Aye.
-Aye.

We are not done talking yet.

Let me see the magic tool you got.

Here.

What is this?

It's our goal, the magic tool.

You two super idiots!

Collecting the magic tool
is the priority this time.

How could you burn it down to charcoal?

Aye.

I'm so sorry!

Get back into the dungeon
and do a thorough examination.

Don't come back before you get something.

-Aye.
-Aye.

What?

You're kidding with us again, aren't you?

She's serious.

She is.

She's serious.

The other idiots can go to the hot spring.

-Aye.
-Aye.

Do you want a sip?

Try it.

It will moisten your throat right away.

This drink is made with ingredients
taken from the underground cave.

It's an elixir.

The hot spring feels great
this time around too.

You've gotten closer this time.

Closer to your mother.

The form you displayed
previously in combat

reminded me of the well-respected
Steel w*r Princess, Lady Acier.

But you are not up to her level yet.

The power of your magic
is still far inferior to hers.

Yes.

Your mother, Acier Silva.

She d*ed because of some devil's curse.

Whoever says it will die in the same way.

That was the curse that

your mother was under.

But I want to get more powerful.

I must.

Really?

Could you

tell me more about my mother?

It'll take a while.

No problem.

The hot spring feels great.

By the way, Crimson Lion's captain

has a totally different stubbornness
from Yami.

Listen.

Bathing in a hot spring has more to it
than what you know.

-Aye.
-Aye.

When the heat is radiating,
you have to keep calm.

Make sure your body is warm enough first.

After using cold water to stimulate
your mind and body,

go back into the warm water.

This is like a place for you to speak
to your own mind.

-Aye.
-Aye.

Don't forget, everyone.

Before going into the pool,
you must shower first.

Don't immerse your towel into the pool.

The cleansing items in the shower area,
like the basin,

-I can't hold on anymore.
-must be rinsed using hot water.

-How much longer do we need to listen?
-Until the place is restored.

Are Asta and Leo done?

Speaking of the hot spring,
we must scrub each other's backs

to improve our friendship.

We looked until the morning
and found nothing.

Did the hot spring really feel great?

It took all our exhaustion away.

With the collagen in the food,

our skin is glowing.

That's right. If it wasn't located
at the Grand Magic Zone,

I would go every day.

Noelle is glowing too.

You're getting too close!

It was so much fun.

When is the next special training?

What are you talking about?

We were dragged there suddenly
and tortured.

I really don't want to see her soon.

She might be waiting inside.

How's that possible?

You're so late!

-She's really here!
-She's really here!

-Petite Clover!
-Petite Clover!

-Reinvestigation.
-Reinvestigation.

Where's the treasure?

There are only strange-looking cases here.

My rival,

I found an incredible treasure.

What do you think? The legs are very long.

Awesome!

Well, I'll…

I found one with muscular and hairy legs.

What?

It can also do squats with me.

Impressive. You're my rival indeed.

If so, let's compete
to see who can find the most awesome case.

Fine by me!

-Where is it?
-Where is it?

It turned out that, Asta and Leopold
forgot their original purpose.

They ran around in the dungeon
until morning.

Today is a matter of life and death
for House Vermillion.

That's right.
It's the day we invite her here.

Black Clover, Page ,

"Those Who Have Been Gathered."

We must accept them with much sincerity.
