The scene then moves to the present where Asta, engaged in conversation with his sister, is interrupted by Lucius, who is posing as the Magic Emperor.
Surprised by this person's arrival, Asta is initially paralyzed. Lucius stops time, and releases only him and the boy whose antimagic he is trying to study. Asta recognizes this magic as that of the Magic Emperor, and his confusion soon finds an explanation in the man's words.
