Chapter 22

is the 22nd Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

The mission is over and the Magic Emperor himself offers them his gratitude for their accomplishment. However, at the same time, he also shows them several Knights that had performed even better than them.

Summary
Returning back from the mission, Asta finally awakes after a long sleep of recovery. During a meal, Yami Sukehiro informs him that Asta needs to report to the Magic Knights headquarters at the Noble region while assigning Rack Boltia to another mission with Magna Swing. As he arrives at the Noble region alongside Noelle Silva, both of them encounter Klaus Lunette, Yuno and Mimosa Vermilion whom are also asked to report to the headquarters. Out of nowhere, the noblewoman of House Vermilion reveals to her cousin that she seems to have feelings towards Asta.

After a while, they finally arrive at the designated venue and quickly being graced by the Magic Emperor, Julius Nova Chrono, himself. The Emperor then proceeds on examining both Asta and Yuno's new magic with him able to identify the latter's magic as a wind spirit of the four great attributes, Sylph. On the other hand, Julius is unable to decipher the writings on Asta's grimoire and had his magical power drained by touching the sword that is coming out of it.

Afterwards, Asta and Yuno ask Julius about the method that they have to use to become the Magic Emperor in which the latter simply said that results are the vital component to achieve the title. Julius then asks the six young members of the Magic Knights to join him in a ceremony to honor the Magic Knights that have produced the most results while asking them if they could give him better performances.
