Chapter 24

is the 24th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

More people are now aware about Asta's ambition to become the Magic Emperor. Would it be well-received, ignored or ridiculed by any members of the Magic Knights?

Summary
On the outskirt of the Clover Kingdom, a mysterious man is talking to himself with an incapacitated man. After a while, someone else arrives and informs the said man that their preparation is complete.

After Asta's surprising confrontation against the Knights that are attending the award ceremony banquet, three of them immediately try to put him on his place. Asta swiftly nullifies Nebula Silva and Solido Silva's attack but Alecdra Sandler manages to bind him with his spell. Subsequently, Solido tries to attack him once again but Asta summons his other sword and deflects the attack back towards him.

Seeing the embarrassing actions from his younger brother, Noselle Silva who is the captain of the Silver Eagle squad steps in as he releases his magical power. Fortunately, the captain of the Crimson Lion squad, Fuego Leon Vermilion, interferes as he points out the House Silva's shameless act of attacking a boy. On the other hand, Leopold Vermilion recognizes Asta's skills and quickly announces the latter as his rival. Fuego Leon's comments were not received well by Noselle as the latter gives him a condescending remark which lead to a brief confrontation between the captains.

The confrontation is cut short when someone enters the hall and informs the Magic Knights that the royal capital is under attack. The attack is led by the mysterious man who is taking an army of incapacitated men with him.
