Goodreads Synopsis:

In a world of magic, Asta, a boy with anti-magic powers, will do whatever it takes to become the Wizard King!

Asta is a young boy who dreams of becoming the greatest mage in the kingdom. Only one problem—he can't use any magic! Luckily for Asta, he receives the incredibly rare five-leaf clover grimoire that gives him the power of anti-magic. Can someone who can't use magic really become the Wizard King? One thing's for sure—Asta will never give up!

As the Royal Knights selection test enters its final stage, a surprising team is still in contention! Can Asta or Yuno take the crown? And after the test is over, the real battle begins when the members of the Royal Knights are decided! What will be their first mission…?

Review:

After Asta's battle, it feels like the rest of the competition just rushes through. The crystal is broken quickly for the remaining battles, and while Asta's battle didn't go as he planned, Yuno gets to show off, pretty much.

After that quick ending, we move onto the next round of competition pretty quickly, competing again to be a Royal Knight.

Just as we're learning there's a member of the Black Bulls we didn't know about, the story switches back to the home base, where we find out another aspect of the Black Bulls we never knew about. The member we meet is creepy as fuck. The other surprise, though, I find quite interesting. I'm intrigued to see where these new characters go next.
