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.

Finral manages to make it through the first stage and is now about to face off with his younger brother, Langris. Finral leaves destroying the enemy crystal to Leopold and Hamon and he faces off with Langris. However, it’s not easy to defeat his younger brother that has been blessed with superior magical powers since they were younger. Even then, Finral faces off with him fair and square, but he underestimates just how much his little brother loathes him...

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?

The exam to determine the Royal Knights that will fight against the Eye of the Midnight Sun. Asta and Yuno participate along with the Black Bulls, Noelle, Magna, Luck, and Finral, as well as Mimosa and Klaus from the Golden Dawn. Other Magic Knights include Leopold from the Crimson Lion Kings as well as many other notable Magic Knights. The Wizard King then announces the teams that will be participating in the Royal Knights Selection Exam.

Asta and some others get dragged on a training camp at a volcano by Mereoleona. Yami and Charlotte use an ability called Mana Skin and quickly get through. The other Magic Knights try to follow. However, Asta has no magic, so he's unable to use Mana Skin. Asta gets a hint from something Mereoleona said on how he can get through this and he remembers what happened to him back at the Witches' Forest.

Asta and Yuno end up seeing Mereoleona scolding the members of the Crimson Lion Kings after the Star Festival. Mereoleona is the older sister of their former captain, Fuegoleon, and was unhappy with their performance at the Star Festival. She calls her brother a fool and Leopold and the other squad members defend him. She then says they're going to a volcano for a training camp and also ends up taking Asta, Yuno, Yami, Charlotte and Noelle with them as well...

The Star Festival finally reaches its climax. The ranking of each Magic Knight squad is about to be announced. As the crowd watches in anticipation, the Golden Dawn is announced as taking first place, but then the Black Bulls get announced as taking second place?! On top of that, Asta and Yuno both get called up to the stage for the excellent work they had done. Both of them had worked hard to achieve everything they could for their respective squads and now, they'll get a chance to achieve something even more!

As a new member of the Black Bulls, Asta is thrilled to receive his very first private room, even though it's tiny. Everything Asta sees as Magna shows him around the squad's base is new and exciting to him.

Asta ends up passing a group of guys at the Star Festival who all seem to be looking in the direction of a beautiful woman. This beautiful woman happened to be the captain of the Blue Rose Knights, Charlotte, who was forced to wear a dress by one of her squad members, Sol Marron. Charlotte isn't very fond of men, so she was getting frustrated by all the staring, but then she happens to see Yami. Yami teases Charlotte for wearing a dress and she tries to keep her cool. Vanessa then shows up and starts to feel a fierce rivalry against Charlotte...

A huge crowd of people are enjoying the Star Festival. Asta coincidentally stumbles upon Captain Yami and Captain Jack staring each other down. The two are well-established rivals and decide to hold a competition at the festival, and Asta gets dragged into helping Yami out.

The Star Festival, the biggest festival of the year in the Clover Kingdom was about to take place. Every year the festival, the number of stars each Magic Knight squad had acquired would be announced. Captain Yami and the other Black Bulls prepare to go all out for this festival. Noelle tries to use this chance to enjoy the festival with Asta, but Asta ends up inviting some guests to the festival. The guests happened to be Kahono and Kiato...

Asta and the others safely return to the Black Bulls' base after defeating the Eye of the Midnight Sun and the Diamond Kingdom in the Witches' Forest. Now that Asta's arms have healed, the Black Bulls as well as Yuno, Klaus, and Mimosa are relieved. However, there's no telling when the Eye of the Midnight Sun or the Diamond Kingdom will try to attack the Clover Kingdom again. Klaus then brings up a proposal to Yuno and Mimosa.

The Queen of Witches had been waiting patiently for Vanessa to awaken to her true powers, but ironically, it was those powers that helped them defeat the queen. The Queen of Witches realizes that she was wrong and heals Asta and the rest of the party, and tells Vanessa that she may do as she pleases now. They ask the queen if she knows why the Eye of the Midnight Sun is after the magic stones and she explains that both the swords Asta has as well as the magic stones all belonged to the legendary elf tribe that no longer exists...
