As the Magic Emperor Julius thanks all the magic knights for coming today, Julius also tells them that they will be starting the exam. A few minutes ago the vice-captain of the Violet Orca, Zax Lugner, confronts a rogue mage. As the rogue insults that Magic Knights Order, Zax says that he will have to punish the rogue for his comments and launches a spell. The rogue easily defeats Zax and takes his robe while also insulting Zax. The rogue then heads towards the venue, hoping that someone will leave more of an impression on him.

At the venue for the Royal Knights selection exam, some of the magic knights notices members of the Golden Dawn and comments about how many of the Golden Dawn members will pass that exam. Asta then meets up with Klaus, Mimosa, and Yuno and starts to talk to them. Asta also tells Yuno that he will be the one to pass the exam, which Leopold comes over and joins in on the conversation. Finral then comments about how he is nervous but the others don't recognize him since he had changed him hair. As Finral, Asta, Magna, and Luck start to talk about Finral character, Noelle comments about how they are embarassing to be around. Suddenly Noelle notices her brother Solido, but remembers what Meleoleona had told her and how she will show everyone how much she has grown.

Julius then arrives and thanks everyone for comes, while also saying that they will be starting the exam. Augustus tells Julius that he will explain the exam since he is royalty. Augustus tells the magic knights that that exam will be a team competition of a crystal destruction tournament. Augustus also tells what the magic knights will have to do in order to win against the other teams. As Augustus tries to explain why they choose this method for the exam, Julius takes over and fully explains that reason why they choose this method. Marx then shows the magic knights the teams, which Mimosa is shocked to find out that she is on Asta's team. Asta wonders who the last member of their team is, Zax Lugner, which the rogue suddenly appears besides Julius. As Asta wonder who the rogue is, the rogue says that his name is Zax Lugner.
