We've been introduced to a few new characters and Leopold and Fuegoleon are my favorite so far. Fuegoleon sees Asta's potential and seems to be developing a mentor student relationship with him. It would be cool if he starts training Asta further down the road. Leopold is definitely a new friend that matches Asta's energetic personality. I can't wait to see the development of that relationship. Still don't know what the Eye of the Midnight Sun group wants with Asta, but it's concerning to say the least. Hopefully will have more answers next volume.
