Sure, okay? Compared to the successful melee classes of the world, my fighting might look plain to the eye. Lightning doesn’t crackle, and things don’t explode. But, you see, if you ask me, all of that is waste. Superfluous. Not beautiful. You don’t need explosions; if you cut the appropriate part at the appropriate time in the appropriate way, the enemy goes down. Just like this!
My sword, swung with great momentum, made a clean hit on the Skeleton’s head, blowing its skull away in flashy fashion.… Read more
I Tell You Monster. Volume 2 Chapter 2 part 3
Shizuku’s transfer had been decided the very day Rebecca visited the office.
Norman negotiated with the headmaster of Evergrace Academy, and the matter was settled. By the next day, Shizuku was enrolled. Though she’d made up her mind to return, even she was surprised by how quickly things moved. Whether it was because the headmaster took the situation seriously or because Norman was just that good at negotiations—
—to Shizuku, none of that mattered.
She’d come back to Evergrace to uncover the truth behind the ridiculous rumors about Sisel.… Read more
Delta and Gamma Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 6
“What are you going to do with that?”
“I thought I’d take it home and make a pressed specimen or something.”
A pressed specimen is, simply put, a specimen where plants are flattened and dried like pressed flowers. I already have a katakuri specimen at home, so I could just throw it away here, but I felt reluctant to do that in front of Iwama. I put the plastic bag back in my backpack.… Read more
Scientist for an Evil Organization Volume 1 Chapter 28 part 3
Sayuki felt like she was floating.
They had lunch together, went to the cat cafe, and walked around the mall chatting.
They even drank a couple’s juice at the cafe – something she’d wanted to try ever since reading about it in a shojo manga as a kid. A small childhood dream had come true.
Just walking beside Haruhiko made her cheeks loosen up.
But fun times pass by so quickly.
Before she knew it, the sun was setting.… Read more
Mastermind Behind the Scenes Volume 1 Chapter 1 part 7
A sharp female voice rang through the classroom. And at that same moment, Narumiya’s fist stopped. I turned toward the voice, and there stood Akabana—her face twisted in anger, which I’d never seen before.
“Oh, Akane. I was just exterminating the pests for you.”
“Who asked you to do that? And stop calling me by my first name so casually… I’ve told you this before!”
It seemed Akabana and Narumiya had some history, but the air between them felt heavy and oppressive—definitely not the kind of relationship between mere friends.… Read more
A Teacher, But I’m Feared as a Witch Volume 3 chapter 3 part 3
However, Gem exhaled deeply with a face as if a possessing spirit had been exorcised, and shook his head left and right once more.
“I was wrong. I cared only about my pride and made unseemly attempts to defend my beliefs……Aoi-dono. You have reached the depths of magical arts, haven’t you? And Crown, Awad, and Balbrea noticed this and were frantically trying to absorb that knowledge……Only I was foolish and couldn’t see anything.”
Speaking of his regret, he bowed his head deeply, deeply.… Read more
It Turned Into a Battlefield Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 3
I don’t like imagining Tsuchiya embracing a handsome guy, but that completes the mission. After that, I just need to spread the word about them dating. Then Tsuchiya will fall from the princess throne. If Ayane doesn’t screw up, she’ll obtain the princess throne and everything will be settled nicely.
The backup plan I had prepared of hooking her up with a handsome guy is possible. In this case, since it’s the princess Tsuchiya who’s fallen for him, I just need to negotiate with the handsome guy.… Read more
Spirit Master Who Is Volume 2 Chapter 6 part 6
“Don’t regret losing.”
“Hate to break it to you, but I’ve never regretted anything. Please, enlighten me.”
“Fine. I’ll cut you down along with that Demon King!”
Words met with words.
Rourke poured all his spiritual energy into his sword spirit and the evil spirit, not caring about the consequences or the future.
All that mattered was this moment, with every fiber of his being.
“Go, Kuro!!”
At Rourke’s command, spiritual energy burst from the evil spirit, sending debris flying into the air.… Read more
Misunderstood Villainess Volume 1 Chapter 6.5 part 2
“Ah, to maintain secrecy, choose from among your retainers internally. Forced abduction would be exposed somewhere.”
“…Fine by me, but what is [Plan B]? What do you intend to do with my retainer?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
Zax raised his wine cup.
The next moment, the cup was engulfed in flames and shattered.
“!?”
“If we burn him to just before carbonization, there won’t be any facial features left. Then we can show the people ‘This is Weiss’s corpse!'”… Read more
C-level magic student Volume 2 Chapter 7 part 1
Chapter 7: The Vanguard Battle
The Crawford Magic Academy and the Alvarez Knight Academy’s head-to-head tournament would be decided when one side secured three victories first.
While every match was important in securing a win, the vanguard battle—the first match—was especially crucial, as its outcome could dictate the momentum of the following battles.
For students with little real combat experience, the atmosphere of the arena heavily influenced their mentality and performance.
In a serious match, a charged atmosphere of “We can do this!”… Read more
