Black Clover Volume 16 sends the selected Royal Knights on their first mission. Asta and Yuno join the attack on the Eye of the Midnight Sun's base. Read it after the selection test, since the new force's membership is already settled in the publisher's setup. The buying distinction is the change from qualifying for a role to carrying out its purpose: the exam selected people for an expedition, not simply for a ranking.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The new arrival advertised by VIZ can control the Black Bulls' base itself. That is a useful introduction because the publisher also places the base under attack: an apparently fixed background becomes something a member can actively defend through an unusual ability. Meanwhile, Asta and Yuno are away with the Royal Knights. The division makes institutional success look incomplete. Selecting an expeditionary force solves the problem of who will attack, but it does not remove the need for people who protect the squad's home. The base is part of the conflict, not merely its waiting room.
