Black Clover Volume 13 opens the Royal Knights exam with teamwork as the entry requirement. The Clover Kingdom wants a force to confront the Eye of the Midnight Sun, and the selection process requires mages to compete in teams. Asta receives a particularly difficult teammate. For readers following the recruitment sequence, this is the starting setup to have in place before buying the later tournament rounds; the purpose of the contest matters alongside its winners.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The exam makes cooperation something that can be assessed, rather than a virtue everyone can simply claim to possess. VIZ identifies both the strategic purpose of the Royal Knights and Asta's difficulty working with his assigned partner. That combination gives the contest a useful constraint: personal ability has to survive contact with somebody else's habits. A strong competitor can still be a poor teammate. The interest here is therefore in selection as a practical problem, with the kingdom trying to build a usable force rather than merely finding an impressive individual.
