Chapter 248

Luck vs. Svenkin (ラックスヴェンキン) is the 248th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
Since the Heart Kingdom works better with nature-based magic attributes, Asta has brought the Black Bull's special assault duo to train in the Heart Kingdom. Asta introduces Gadjah to Magna, who uses Fire Magic, and Luck, who uses Lightning Magic. Asta comments about how he wants to bring Zora too, but Magna says that Zora is a loner even though he keeps telling him that peasants like them have to stick together while Luck says that he fight again some Trap Magic.

Gadjah says that he will first start by teaching them to create runes since they will need to create runes before they can create an array. Magna tries to but can't be able to create the runes, which Gadjah comments about how he figured since Magna's mana is too low. As Magna is shocked by this, Gadjah says that Magna is a stage five mage and that Magna would need to be a stage three mage to handle an array in combat. Luck comments about how cool it is as he is able to create runes, which Gadjah says that Luck has good instincts for it. Magna then leaves, which Luck says that he will be getting stronger on his own. Asta tries to stop Magna, but Luck stops him and says that if Magna lets this stop him from getting stronger then that was all Magna was worth.

Gadjah then brings Luck to another location and starts to explain how forming arrays with runes will allow a mage to issue an order to their magic. Gadjah also explains how more complex arrays will make their magic stronger, and that Luck will have to create an array that suits his combat style which Luck agrees with. Luck asks Gadjah to teach him to cast True Lightning Magic, which Gadjah explains how True Lightning Magic generates real lightning. Gadjah also says that it too him two years to master the technique, which Luck comments about how that is disappointing and how it looked like fun. Gadjah tells Luck that he specializes in discharge spells. Gadjah tells Luck that he is good at equip spells and instantly forming array around his hands and feet, which Luck should put those to work and create powerful magic that is all his own.

Back at Luck's fight with Svenkin, Svenkin says that Luck can't beat him with just speed alone and that Luck should just surrender since Luck's spell doesn't work and that Luck is also torn all up. As Luck charges forward, Svenkin tries to tell Luck about how he won't win but is shocked when Luck uses multiple arrays to get behind Svenkin. Luck then kicks Svenkin's head, but Svenkin uses his Skin Magic to make sure the attack doesn't work. Svenkin explains how Luck's attacks won't work since his Skin Magic detects magic and activates automatically. Svenkin grabs a hold of Luck's leg, but Luck uses an array to split his Thunder God's Boots and escapes. Svenkin thinks about what Luck had done to escape and says that that was a pretty clever trick. Svenkin then says that he will show Luck how clever he can be and uses his Skin Fort spell. Svenkin starts to fire blasts at Luck, which Luck tries to avoid. While jumping around, Luck comments about how he has to get faster. Svenkin thinks about how Luck won't last for longer, and how he gets mess up Luck real good when Luck can't move anymore. Luck thinks about how he has to get faster and manages to use an array to lift Svenkin onto a building's roof. Svenkin is shocked that Luck was able to inflict some damage. Svenkin wonders if Luck's speed is faster then his skin detection. Svenkin then decides to use his magic to hard his skin to the max and explains how he will harden his skin so much that Luck can't put his dent in him. Luck thinks about how he has to get faster, and then creates multiple arrays under his feet. Svenkin wonders what is this feeling is that he is feeling, and says that Luck can't win since his magic negates Luck's magic. Luck uses his True Lightning Magic spell Keraunos on Svenkin, which Svenkin thinks about how Luck had turned himself into spear of lightning to punch right through Svenkin before falling unconscious. Luck tells Svenkin thanks since that fight was fun.
