The manga series is back after a one-week hiatus. The official release of "Black Clover" Chapter 266 is a few days away, but spoilers are out hinting Asta's training session with Nacht.

The last chapter storyline focused on the elves and Noelle. Now, "Black Clover" Chapter 266 is speculated to explore Nacht training Asta as they prepare for the rescue mission. Twitter user MoeSand tweeted a spoiler hinting Nacht taking Asta somewhere and that he will likely resume his training.

Nacht and Asta barge into the hall where the captains are discussing Yami's abduction in "Black Clover" Chapter 263 titled "Shadow Intel." After gaining their trust, Nacht explains how they will get inside the Spade Kingdom and take out the Dark Triad. Nacht wants Asta to train with him as the latter's Anti-Magic will play a key role against Dante Zogratis Vanica Zogratis and Zenon Zogratis.

"Black Clover" Chapter 266 is likely to showcase Nacht helping Asta train his devil. In the last chapter, Noelle finds herself surrounded by the elves. She sees Secre Swallowtail, Mimosa Vermillion, Luck Voltia, Leopold Vermillion and Cherry Pappiston. Noelle wonders where she is and Patolli tells her that she is in Elysia, which is a secluded area in a strong magic region located deep within the Heart Kingdom.

Noelle observes that Elysia is a place filled with strong concentrated Mana. Meanwhile, two children appear and Noelle asks who they are. Patolli reveals they are the descendants of Clover Kingdom's family and Licht, leaving Noelle and Mimosa shocked.

Later, Noelle announces that she and others need to get stronger to face Vanica. After Lolopechka's abduction, Noelle is feeling helpless and she wants Patolli to train them. Patolli wonders if Noelle can get stronger in such a short time. Patolli adds that Noelle trained for six months but could not defeat her enemies.

However, Noelle is determined to train harder. Patolli agrees and states that she and her friends can get stronger using the elves' esoteric art – Ultimate Magic.

"Black Clover" Chapter 266 is scheduled to release Sunday. Fans can read the latest chapter online on Manga Plus and Viz.
