Summary
Asta figures he need to active his newly obtained power to progress and attempts to clear his mind or even consider putting his life in danger to active it, but fails to do so. Thinking more about it, he recalls Mereoleona Vermillion words that he does not know himself and how Yami Sukehiro thought him to use ki, and decides to use ki detection on himself. He sees his ki flow and something black flowing into him from the sword. He decides to strengthen that power by creating a ring of flow and grabs the blade of the sword with his other hand. As more Anti Magic flows into him, he manages to activate Black Asta, but then suddenly flies up. Leopold Vermillion and Noelle Silva face a magical lava beast, but see Asta going through it with his magic. Asta continues to fly towards the mountain summit passing Yuno on the way and then heading towards Mereoleona due to her enormous mana. He tells her to run, however Mereoleona refuses and using her Fire Magic knocks Asta down.

All of Crimson Lion reach the summit and Mereoleona scolds them as being late as they had to reach it during the day and not during the night when the volcano becomes dormant. However, she allows them to use the hot springs and tells everyone to take off their clothes. Everyone starts to wonder if its okay to do so as there are women with them. Charlotte Roselei starts to panic and gets excited that she will be with naked Yami Sukehiro in the hot spring, however Sol Marron not wanting a man to see Charlotte's body uses Earth Magic and creates Mud Wall Partition to split the hot spring in two, warning the men that if they climb the wall, they will die.

While soaking in the hot spring, Mereoleona offers Charlotte a drink, but knowing she cannot handle alcohol and not wanting Yami to see her passed out, she refuses, but Sylph wishes to drink. Sol helps Noelle wash her hair and asks her to join their magic knights squad, but Noelle refuses as she is already in the Black Bulls. Sol comments that the Black Bulls are full of men, while on the Blue Rose the males are only errand boys. Thinking about naked Yami, Charlotte passes out. Sylph also passes out as she cannot handle alcohol too. Mereoleona tells Noelle that her mother, Acier Silva showed her this hot spring and that she was a strong warrior, but Mereoleona could never beat. Although Noelle is splitting image of her, her sloppy magic abilities makes it hard to believe she is her daughter. But because of that she must surpass her with her own strength. Noelle gets fired up, but also realizes the water had gotten hotter.

On the boys side, Leopold is heating the water, trying to make Yuno unable to handle the heat, however Yuno states he is alright and even starts using Wind Magic to cool himself. Leopold finds that as cheating, but Yuno states magic is his strength and he is also using magic to heat the water. Yami tells them there is a better way to spend time in the hot spring and states they must peep at the women's bath. He tells them that if they are true men, they will do it even if it costs them their lives. Yuno states he is not interested, which only annoys Yami, but Asta explains that Yuno is really not interested and had only bathed with men before. Leopold thinks of his brother, Fuegoleon Vermillion, and states he would not do that and even will try to stop them. Yami wonders if Leopold wants to be like Fuegoleon or surpass him. Yami inspires the men, who then start running towards the wall. The women hear their voices and realizes they will try to peep. Sol wanting to protect Charlotte, creates even a bigger wall, but the men are not stopping and try to climb it. Yami tells Asta to go and peep, however, Asta recalls Lily Aquaria, and yells that his heart belongs to her and he refuses to look, which shocks everyone.
