23 Limptfert Dungeon
After receiving the winning prize, the 『Ring of Pursuit』 at the award ceremony, we left the Royal Magic Academy almost as if fleeing.
As for the promise with Maine, I told him that I would visit the Royal Palace after I settled down.
Curiously enough, I didn’t receive any inquiries from Noir-san or the Knights, neither was I questioned by the headmaster Paula nor the head librarian Silk. Maybe since I pretty much became a magicia...

What a lame title for a post.
Oh well, I'm not sure if yoy guys read today's post in the blog. I went to the doctor today since I've been feeling... weird.
I got to say, you dont really appreciate "normal" until you get sick. Today was the first day in over a month that I felt normal.
As to why, medicines.
Seems like I have mild anemia and gastritis.
After checking me and asking me some questions, the doctor said it was most likely due to my "super healthy life s...

Idle Talk - The daily life of the Fan Club
There is a certain organization called 『Second's Fan Club』.
It's a huge organization formed the very same day his short-term abroad studies started in the Royal Magic Academy.
Saying there are 100 members would be an understatement, and among the members, 99% of all consists of female students.
Their activities are only one.

...However, there's one thing I still don’t understand.
That is――
"By the way, Maine. How do you fight in a Magic Tournament? "
With a loud noise, everyone dropped at the waiting room. (TLN: Pretty much what is described here is like when someone asks a stupid question and the other characters simply fall to the ground in anime)
"You're participating without even knowing that!? "
"Sorry. Maybe is that? You kill each other with magic? "

20 Magic Tournament
Ring of Pursuit.
Contrary to its lame name, this is a very powerful accessory.
Its effect 「After using an Attack Magic spell, there is a 10% chance an additional spell will be cast」 although it sounds simple, its benefits can be quite substantial.
For example, let’s say that you're in a situation where you have to use Magic against a boss that has very high HP. If you need 1100 casts to defeat it,...

The next day.
Together with Silvia and Eko, I came to the Headmaster's office.
"Since Eko will be quitting school, I'd like to ask for permission for her to join me as a companion in class A."
"Please."
After I asked for permission, Eko followed.
The headmaster Paula was dumbfounded.
I was conscious of the absurdity of my request, but I was also confident that it will be passed.

I wanted to make a short post about my posting schedule. And other stuff related to chapters.
First of all, thank you.
Okay, so. For every two chapters/parts that are posted on Patreon, I upload a chapter/part to the blog.
I used to have a schedule for public posting, but it was taxing for me, idk why.
Now, about the chapters that are divided. Chapters that are 12 pages long or more I just split them in half. If a chapter is 11 or less pages I translate it as a whole. ...

Episode 76: Spiritual Beasts' encirclement
They were surrounded by a group of five odd-figured Spiritual Beasts.
"Tch... That’s why I told you to run away, Princess..."
The empire's knight Barrès said with a grim expression after clicking his tongue.
(I see, so Barrès and the others were indeed a bait.)
That's how Yamato understood the knight's words.
These five Spiritual Beasts had kept Barrès and the re...

……Somehow, I had a scary dream.
When I woke up, I was in a bed. Looking closely, this is one of the rooms of the inn.
"Hey."

When I called out, Silvia's lively voice resounded and she hurriedly grabbed my right hand.
"……Don’t push yourself too hard. If you had lost this hand, you wouldn’t be able to become the world's number one."
While gently stroking my right hand, Silvia spoke i...

Beyond their eyes stood up an unnatural building made of stone.

Midnight.
I lie on the bed at the inn, trying to think of a solution.
Isn’t there some way for me to save Eko?
"Is she really an incompetent? "
For argument's sake let’s say she is, can an incompetent really enter the Magic Academy? That bothers me.
The Royal Magic Academy divides each year into six groups, ranging from F to A, and the better the student, the closer they are to class A. However, even if ...

She gave a little scream and her eyes then rounded in perfect circles as she looked at me with a lost-in-thought face.
Her blue-green eyes reflected the light of the hallway; sharp, acute teeth stuck out from the edge of her mouth; her pointy ears stood out in her fluffy, chestnut-colored short-cut hair. In addition, a tail was peeking out from the back of her skirt. A cat?
……Anyway, she has an incredible foolish look on her face.
"So handsome! "

We came to the library.
"Is it okay for me to see the Second Form Grimoires of all attributes."
"Yeah, it's fine. Please give me a moment."
After speaking to the librarian lady at the reception desk, she answered as so and went to the back of the library. With a "Here you go", she gave me four Grimoires. She was quite friendly. She's...

At the empty school cafeteria.
Just as I finished my beef bowl, Maine said those words.
Just as I was removing the bad aftertaste of his previous words with this meal, he went and brought it up again.
"Hey. What’s with that condescending attitude? I'm the man who will be the world's top (according to my plans)."
When I answered back, a full smile was plastered...

Our seats were the front row, right in the middle, I can feel a lot of stares directed at us.
"Since we got some new faces today, let’s start by reviewing the basics."
After making sure we were on our seats, Kevin-san immediately began the class.
This would probably be quite boring for me. With that idea in mind, I decided to half listen to the lecture.
The morning class was finally over.
The contents of the class were shockingly unexpected.<...

A week has passed since Operation Deceive.
Ever since then, Silvia and I have fulfillingly spent our days selling the 『Flame Wolf Fur』, and earning experience on the side.
The experience we earned was mainly by killing slimes. If you go deep into the 『Slime Forest』 that is located on the road from the capital to the mine, you can find a rare slime that earns you a good amount of experience.

"Alright, two weeks should do for the period. Can I ask you for a letter of introduction with that in mind?"
"Certainly."
Just as Noir-san answered, his eyes glanced over towards Silvia.
It seems like he is a bit anxious about the second request. And he probably is expecting it to be about Silvia. Noir-san seems to be quite smart. Then I wonder why is he making such a weird misunderstanding? Not that I really mind it since it was thanks to that that I was ...

"I'm happy to finally meet you, Lord Virginia."
――A troublesome fellow.
When I first saw him, that's what my intuition told me.
Gathering from his slight bow, I could tell he had a strength of mind, body and spirit. It was easy for me, a Knight with peerage, to even know that he had the arm of a swordsman after taking a closer look.
His figure was quite eye-catching, that even I, being from the same...

Three weeks have passed.
Me and Silvia roam the Reus dungeon day after day, and now we can clear it six times a day.
The experience from the dungeon laps have piled up, so I think me and Silvia have gone from "Beginner Intermediate class" to "Top Intermediate class". If we were tea in this world, we would be "hand-picked tea leaves", or if we were noodles, we'd be "yellow and blue strap noodles".

"Ro-Rook Archery……! "
Silvia was amazed after seeing her status.
Her eyes were still swollen and red from the crying. She said that while still sobbing like a crying puppy. I wish she wouldn't worry that much about me being unreasonable, or rather, I feel grateful.
……Well then. If my prediction is correct, this is Silvia we're talking about, who values chivalry. I bet she will say something like:

When I said so, Silvia turned a bit of a suspicious look towards me.

Hers was an expression of "I want to believe, but I can’t believe".

Demoted――。
For the knights this might be more like "getting rid of a troublesome person".
While I was assimilating those facts, I accompanied Second-dono to the inn as his escort, and together with him, drank at the first-floor bar.
Even though I refused at first saying I was just an escort, Second-don kept saying "it's fine, it's fine".
There were a lot of shocking events today, so I lost to temptation.

My first impression of him was the worst.
I though he was a young nobleman who grew up in a snugly environment that didn’t know hardships, a man with no common sense that was not thinking about how he would be bothering others as long as they didn’t bother him.
But right now.
He defeated six Scarlet Mantis in thirty seconds. From 20 meters away, and nothing but a long bow, an impossible fea...

Along the way, I took a small detour to the forest. Adding a Soldier Archery strike, I shot an arrow from atop of the horse towards the slime that came out.
It missed. As expected, it wasn’t possible to hit it the first time. I repeated until the shot connected.
"Pikki! " With that cute dying scream, the slime splattered and died. Leaving the forest, I returned to the highway and checked my stats.
