Mereoleona and Nozel plow their way through the dungeon to get to Licht along with the other Royal Knights. It is then that the final member of the Third Eye, Raia the Disloyal, appears in front of Mereoleona. Asta and Zora are astounded at how powerful Mereoleona is, but then suddenly, there are two Astas. Mereoleona doesn’t even hesitate and decides to attack both of the Astas.

During the battle at the Black Bulls’ hideout, the hideout suddenly changes its shape, and Gauche and the others are surprised by the mysterious figure that emerges from it. This was the identity of the rumored ghost that lived in the hideout. His name was Henry Legolant, and he was the true master of the mansion. Henry is able to change the mansion into any form he chooses and had been watching over the rest of the Black Bulls ever since Yami had given him a cloak. He fights alongside his precious friends to protect their home.

On Yami’s orders, Asta and Noelle go on their first mission with Magna to hunt wild boars. They successfully complete the mission and go to Saussy Village to meet with the mayor, Seyhe.

While the Royal Knights began their assault on the Eye of the Midnight Sun’s hideout, Rades, Valtos and Sally from the Eye of the Midnight Sun attack the Black Bulls’ hideout. Gauche, Gordon, and Grey who remained back at the hideout end up having to fight. Gauche is worried about the fact that his mirror magic doesn’t work well against Sally’s gel magic, but he works together with Grey and Gordon to do everything they can to protect their hideout.

The Royal Knights arrive at the floating dungeon at the Gravito Stones, which is where the Eye of the Midnight Sun’s hideout is. Mereoleona orders them to split into five different teams and they begin their assault. Asta heads in with Mereoleona and Zora Ideale. Meanwhile, Captain Nozel of the Silver Eagles also heads in, vowing to get revenge for a fallen rival.

Asta, Noelle, and Luck are suddenly taken away by Captain Mereoleona, who suddenly dropped in at the Black Bulls’ base. It just so happened the three of them had passed the Royal Knights Selection Exam. The other Magic Knights who passed had also gathered, including the two Magic Knights who fought a fierce battle in the finals, Yuno and the captain of the Aqua Deer, Rill. They were then informed that there would be one more member of the Black Bulls joining them, and it happened to be... Finally, Captain Nozel from the Silver Eagles also joined them as the captain of the Royal Knights, Mereoleona prepped them for their battle against the Eye of the Midnight Sun.

A few years after Vangeance had saved Yami from the group of bandits, they were still Magic Knight squad members and were assigned a special mission by Julius. It was a mission to track down the Magic Knights that were aiding a group of bandits who were terrorizing places throughout the Clover Kingdom. Yami and William decide to split up to cover more ground and Yami ends up running into the bandits!

For some reason, Captain Yami tells all the Black Bulls to take a bath with him. After not being able to fight with Yuno in the Royal Knights Selection Exam finals, Asta had been acting like his soul was gone. While in the bath, Yami starts to tell the Black Bulls about an incident that happened when he had just become a Magic Knight and had gone on a journey to train.

The final match of the Royal Knights Selection Exam has finally come down to Yuno, Noelle, and En’s team versus Rill’s team. Yuno takes on the captain of the Aqua Deer as Noelle and En guard their crystal. Both Yuno and Rill have extreme amounts of magic and natural skill, and Asta watched their battle, trying to hold back his own disappointment...

Xerx’s magic seems to have little effect against Langris, as well, so Asta decides to use his Black Asta powers. Will he be able to defeat Langris, despite Langris’s tremendous magical powers? Luck’s team then faces off with Rill’s team and then finally, Rill’s team goes up against Yuno’s team...

The Black Bulls are doing much better than anyone expected during the Royal Knights Selection Exam. Meanwhile, Charmy decides that she wants to make something yummy for her Meal-saving Prince and goes to gather some ingredients. However, she ends up eating some poisonous mushrooms and starts to see strange dreams. In that strange dream world, everyone seems to be much smaller... A special episode with a bunch of Petit Clover episodes!

The Wizard King ends up changing the order of the matches. Now, Asta’s team and Langris’s team begin their match. Langris is as powerful as ever and continues to show his deep hatred, meanwhile, Asta faces off with him passionately, angered by the fact that he mocked and injured Finral. Seeing Asta fight, Xerx remembers a certain someone. Meanwhile, something had been bothering Julius for quite a while, so he quietly watches the match.

The Magic Knights: heroes that everyone in the kingdom looks up to and dreams of becoming one day. But the new recruit, Asta, has yet to do anything that seems like what a Magic Knight should be doing, as he’s stuck doing random chores.

Asta is able to stop Kirsch from moving with the help of Xerx, but the Magna appears before them. Magna has always been an expert at controlling his powers and he now has a new spell. He uses the new spell to gradually damage Asta’s team’s crystal. Meanwhile, Mimosa realizes that the enemy team’s crystal is inside Sol’s golem and she comes up with a plan.

The first stage of the Royal Knights Selection Exam comes to a close and the second stage begins. The first match is between Asta, Mimosa, Xerx and Magna, Kirsch, and Sol. Kirsch is as narcissistic and powerful as ever, giving Asta problems. But then he remembers his training back at the volcano and uses his Black Asta powers. Will he be able to defeat Kirsch?

Klaus, Puli, and Luck’s team battle has now begun. Between Klaus’s cautious nature, Luck’s tendency to go beserk, and Puli’s hyperactive personality, they’re able to pull a win. Then Yuno, Noelle, and En end up battling against Alecdora Sandler and Solid Silva in the last battle of the first stage.

The members of the Black Bulls show off strength that far surpasses their ranks of Junior Magic Knights. Finally, round 5 of stage 1 of the Royal Knights Selection Exam was about to begin. However, they can't seem to find the person called "X" on the I team, which is one of the teams that's about to fight. Finally, Mage X shows up, but they're actually...

Asta and the other Black Bulls continue to fight through stage one of the exam, trying to get to stage two. Magna ends up teaming up with the vice-captain of the Coral Peacocks, Kirsch, also happens to be Mimosa's older brother and Sol from the Blue Rose Knights. Kirsch seems to just go on about how beautiful he is and Magna and Sol don't know how to deal with the biggest narcissist they've ever met. Meanwhile, Finral ends up on a team with Leopold and Hamon and Finral was getting fired up, thinking about having to fight his brother Langris soon...

The first round of the Royal Knights Selection Exam... Asta's team is first up to fight. Asta ends up on a team with Mimosa and a mage named Xerx Lügner. The way to win the battle is to destroy the other team's crystal. However, before the match even starts, Xerx upsets the enemy team by being rude to the Wizard King and they heavily damage Asta's team's crystal. Asta and Mimosa panic. Meanwhile, Xerx doesn't seem like he wants to do this at all and takes a break. Asta and Mimosa must now fight alone... What will they do?
