Summary
Returning to the headquarters, Yami Sukehiro congratulates them for a job well done. Vanessa Enoteca joins the conversation and confirms that Heath and his group are under investigation by the Magic Forensic Division, but it seems to have reached a dead-end. Yami informs them that the Wizard King has bestowed them with a star for their service. With the addition of the star, the Black Bulls currently have -30 stars, which places them at a 100 star difference with the Golden Dawn. Yami also gives Asta and Noelle Silva their first salary, which prompts different reactions from them. Vanessa then decides to take the two new members on a shopping trip to one of the castle towns of the Kingdom.

When they arrive at Kikka, Asta quickly becomes very excited by the new experience. He hopes to bring his friends from Hage to the town someday. Vanessa and Noelle also gather quite the amount of attention due to their appearances and because of being members of the Magic Knights. After they finish their errands, Vanessa takes them to the black market where she informs Noelle that there may be items on sale that could help her control her magical power. Asta also sees Magna Swing spending his salary at the casino.

At the other corner of the market, Sekke Bronzazza is gambling against an old lady but he loses and starts whining about his status in his squad after becoming a Magic Knight. He then sees Vanessa and Noelle in the distance and quickly tries to flirt with them only to be coldly rejected. He is then taken by surprise when he sees that Asta is an acquaintance of theirs. Seeing him, Asta tries to remember his name but fails, and starts bragging about his achievement on his first mission. This leads Sekke to lie about his experiences since the last time they met each other.

Suddenly, a thief snatches the bag of the old lady who had gambled with Sekke. Asta immediately pursues the culprit with Sekke following suit. Asta manages to negate the thief's magic while Sekke rams the thief with his magic. Unfortunately, the thief manages to paralyze Sekke before fainting. As Sekke thinks that he is dying, he decides to give a final speech to Asta who cuts him off and tries to motivate him to achieve his dream on his own. Sekke then leaves after realizing that he is not in a mortal danger. Later on, Asta, Noelle, and Vanessa return the old lady's bag and leave without realizing that the old lady is the current Wizard King in disguise, Julius Novachrono. Julius is impressed by Asta's magic before being contacted by his aide, Marx Francois. Marx tries to inform Julius of an abnormal situation, but to his surprise, Julius is already aware of it. He tells Marx that he has already chosen someone for the task.
