The Clover Kingdom; In this place where magic is everything, there lives one boy who was born without it. His name is Asta. His strength and determination helped him become a magic knight and despite the many challenges he faces, he aims for the top and refuses to give up.

Rich or poor; Royalty or Commoner. Asta believes anyone can shine. His mission is to prove that to the whole world and to become the next Wizard King.

Magna, Sol, Asta, and Noelle are challenged by a mage from the Heart Kingdom named Amoris Cupid. His challenge came in the form of a battle challenge where the Clover mages have to defeat him in 15 minutes. After the time out with Magna and the knockout of Sol, Amoris faced Asta and while they traded spells, he ultimately placed Asta in a mental spell where Asta had to communicate with the person he believes he loves the most.

Having a chat with Sister Lily, Asta realizes that his feelings are not for her anymore but for Noelle and thus it was time to let go. There was only one thing left to do.

"Here goes!"

After swinging the sword, he woke up to find Amoris standing on the other side. His grip on his blades tightened.

"Looks like you woke up, good job."

"You sure bet I did! Now, time to get this fight over with!" Asta dashed at Amoris with The Demon Slayer and Demon Dweller swords in his hands. "Take this!"

Amoris casually dodged the attack and jumped back. "You're right, it's over!"

"I'm not done yet!" Asta placed the Dweller sword back in his grimoire and dashed at Amoris with both hands on the Slayer sword. "Ahhh!" He charged in ready to swing the sword.

The sword connected with the shield. Just as Asta was about to do the follow-up attack, Amoris jumped back. "Time is up!"

"What, already?!" He whined. "But you haven't seen what my anti-magic is capable of."

"Au contraire, I've seen more than you know." Amoris chuckled. "You got out of my spell Love Note in record time. It usually takes others an hour and a half even after they know they're in their mind. You did it in 12 minutes." The heart mage smiled towards the boy. "I'm sure you had some enlightenment while in there as well. Anyway, this brings me to the last fight, Noelle Silva."

Noelle walked out from the waiting area, relieved that Asta was alright. "Alright, I'll show you how it's done, Dorksta." She folded her arms as she locked eyes with Amoris. "I've seen a lot of your spells so you will have your work cut out for you. Unless you plan on putting me in a mind spell like you did Asta."

"Well, I don't need to use Love Note on you. Thing is, you're going to be facing your greatest enemy."

"You sound really confident that you can top the experiences I had in life." She got her grimoire out. "Very well, I'll show you why you shouldn't underestimate royalty!"

As Asta made his way to the stands to watch, Amoris smiled towards Noelle. "Oh no no, I'm not underestimating you at all. See your greatest enemy is one you will struggle to beat."

"Well let's try not to waste any more time!" Her grimoire opened up as she pointed her wand out towards Amoris. "Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Waterball!"

Just like before, Amoris brought his shield up to defend against the waterball. "Time to show you more of what I can do. Love Creation Magic: Match Bow!" A pink and black recurve bow formed horizontally in front of him similar to the wind bow that Yuno uses. Drawing five arrows, he fired them at Noelle who casually dodged each arrow. What she didn't know was the arrows could change direction and they did just that. "It'll take more than dodging to get rid of them."
