I love how Asta's hard work was one of the main focuses of this volume. Asta may not have magic, but he has perseverance and determination on his side. Klaus was in for a surprise when he saw Asta face Mars. I hadn't noticed how in shape he is physically until now so that was interesting. By the end of that fight, it seems like Mimosa and Noelle both may be developing a crush on Asta. I can see how his confidence and determination can be attractive features, so I don't blame them. I'll have to keep reading to see where it goes.
