Asta's magic was unique. There was no one else who could cancel out another
person's magic, so why didn't the other captains see the possibilities of that
strong power?

Why didn't the other Captains see the potential in Asta during the admission exams?


There were many reasons. The biggest one would be the Nobility bias a majority
of the captains had. Asta had also failed every task EXCEPT the final fight
with him and Sekke, so his failures from those would also overshadow his one
success.

Another major reason is that while we know now that he explicitly cancels
magic with his swords, from just the one fight with Sekke that the Captains
saw at the time, it looked like he simply overpowered Sekke with physical
prowess alone. When he started his attack against Sekke, this is what was
said:

**Vangeance:** He's fast! Is he using some kind of high-speed movement magic?

**Yami:** No, he's just physically powerful!

In the end, it was Asta's determination despite his shortcomings that won Yami
over while everyone else only saw his shortcomings, and magic-cancellation
wasn't on their radars at all.
