Magi’s Grandson

Drink Every Time You Read: Manastone

I somehow persuaded Gus that a wireless communication device will be essential in coordinating the invasion in the vast territory of the old empire, thus received permission to develop it.

Granted, I cant tell anyone anything about it.

Everyone learning Gate marked the end of a very long summer vacation that also included a training camp, two devil attacks in other countries and a trip to the beach.

Well then, Grandpa, Grandma, Im going.(s.h.i.+n)

Yes, safe travels.(Melinda)

Ho ho, take care.(Merlin)

Yes!(s.h.i.+n)

There were various other events going on, but the biggest one for me was

Sicily becoming my fiancee.

She became my girlfriend at the start of the summer vacation, although there was some confusion about how far have we progressed during the vacation, it wasnt by any means bad.

Rather, Im quite pleased with it. (Kaelpie: Well I aint.)

s.h.i.+n, lets go!(Sicily)

Oh! Grandpa, Grandma, Im going.(s.h.i.+n)

We went out and started walking with our arms folded.

By the way, Maria has gone directly to the cla.s.sroom with Gate.

Then why are we traveling to the academy on foot?

Ah! Big news, the Magic King and the Saint!(One)

Beautiful as usual.(Two)

Ha I want a girlfriend just like the Saint.(Three/Five)

Impossible! There is no girl like the Saint!(Four)

What was that!?(Three/Five)

There is somewhat of a disturbance Stirred by the announcement of the Magic King and the Saint of the Ultimate Magicians being fiancs, told for the purpose of telling people that Sicily is off limits.

With this the turmoil will end right?

Im not completely okay with this, but Im doing it because there are many people with grudges against Sicily.

To be honest, Im not to enthusiastic about putting on a show like this, but Ortho told me if the relations.h.i.+p between me and Sicily becomes widely know it will drastically decrease the number of men making advances towards Sicily.

But that cant be the only reason.

Sometimes, those with evil intentions will be dragged away by the guards.

In addition to the declaration of a relations.h.i.+p between the Magic King and the Saint, we are probably playing the role of a decoy.

Im dejected those t.i.tles already spread so much

At least I can experience the springtime of youth by walking with Sicily to school with her, and walking to school is pretty nice in and of itself.

Other than that, the townspeople response was unexpected.

I feel gazes from Magic Academy students(Sicily)

Thats right Although you were the same Magic Academy student as everyone before the summer vacation, you were decorated while on holiday You dont know how to handle it?(s.h.i.+n)

As we approach the school, the amount of students will naturally increase.

Its obvious that the att.i.tude is different from that before the holidays, that is to say stiff

They are making noise while whispering to their friends.

Although it seems that the surroundings wont be noisy for a while

How should I put it Its likely that we will be unable to interact with people outside of the research group(Sicily)

What can you do? The other side probably wont approach us.(s.h.i.+n)

Then what about Mark and Olivia that aren&r

squo;t in S cla.s.s?(Sicily)

I see, I see(s.h.i.+n)

Mark and Olivia are in A cla.s.s. It seems that only those two will be out of place in cla.s.s.

While arriving to school and worrying about those two, we entered the cla.s.sroom after a long absence.

Good morning, both of you.(Maria)

Good morning!(Sicily)

Good morning.(s.h.i.+n) (Kaelpie: Good morning.)

All of them are already here.

Thats right, because everyone learned Gate.

By the way, attending school via Gate required the schools permission.

Because arriving normally would kick up a fuss, the permission was obtained quite easily..

O Alice, your uniform!(Sicily)

Wow(Rin)

Whats wrong? No way(Alice)

No way, I guess this girl ate breakfast this way and then(August)

Wow! Dont tell me!(s.h.i.+n)

Did you come in pajamas?(August)

Uuuuu(Alice) (Kaelpie: You had ONE job!)

Ill.u.s.tration link this time because I couldnt find anything else

Alices face was bright red.

Even though she was specifically warned

I had thought she would do it every now and then but straight from the first day

Go home, change into your uniform, and come back!(August)

Alice didnt fall short of expectations.(Rin)

I dont go out of my way to be an entertainer!(Alice)

So its all natural?(Rin)

It isnt natural!(Alice)

Even though its noisy in the morning, when I look around the cla.s.sroom Something felt off.

But what?

Ohhh, are there more desks?(s.h.i.+n)

Youve finally realized.(August)

Oh, I barely noticed the number of desks increased.(Sicily)

It was unexpected. Until now the arrangement was: three seats, four seats, three seats. Now its all four seats.

That means

Good morning, its been a long time since Walford and Claudes engagement announcement party.(Alfred)

Mr. Alfred came accompanied by two students.

From today these two will also take cla.s.ses with S cla.s.s, theres no need for introductions so you can sit down right away(Alfred)

Treat us well!(Mark)

Thank you.(Olivia)

Mark and Olivia.

Why is it like this?(Yuri)

Yes well, the Ultimate Magic Research Group Now called Ultimate Magicians, since they are the only two students from A cla.s.s in the group and can kill devils they will be considered a special case, and S cla.s.s will be adapted to hold twelve people.(Alfred)

I see, thats good. I was worried whether they would be placed in a different cla.s.s.

However With that, the interaction with other cla.s.ses will disappear

Today is the first day of the new semester, so its over after the opening ceremony and homeroom. Also, you will be commended in the opening ceremony.(Alfred)

Commended?(s.h.i.+n)

Naturally, because the world is in crisis due to the devils, and the students of Earlshyde Advanced Magic Academy saved it from that crisis twice.(Alfred) (Kaelpie: s.h.i.+ns life is just an endless parade of award ceremonies and c.o.c.kblocks)(MeYu: But mine is will always c.o.c.kblocks lol)

So its like that. But what is the award?

Do we get something like a certificate?(s.h.i.+n)

There is a premium award to students with excellent marks at the time of their graduation. Its the highest award that can be bestowed by the Academy, however, the achievement this time is too big, so we are afraid its not enough.(Alfred)

Really? Thats it?

That means that we dont have to do anything until graduation. Its like getting the graduation award in advance.

Well then, well go to the auditorium now.(Alfred)

While being led by Alfred-sensei, we headed towards the auditorium. On the way we felt everyones gazes. Rather than making a commotion, the other students seem confused.

Then we arrived at the auditorium, we got the cla.s.sic greeting speech about paying attention during the new semester by the school director.

Lastly, everyone from the Ultimate Magic Research Group, please go up to the stage.(Aikuro Mikisugi)

We are climbing up to the stage with the invitation of the moderator teacher who is using a voice amplification magical tool

Hoooray! Yeah! Wooo!(Hagun Academy)

Everyone was confused by the sudden thunderous applause

We werent being avoided?(Sicily)

It certainly sounds different.(s.h.i.+n)

They just didnt know how to approach us. More importantly: Move!(August)

Oh, right!(s.h.i.+n)

The two of us can handle it but what about everyone else?

In any case, we are not disliked so thats a relief.

I guess you already know that, Ultimate Magicians became the Ultimate Magic Research Group again. Led by s.h.i.+n Walford, the Freshman Representative, they defeated the very devils that attacked and destroyed the Empire!(Koro-sensei)

When the teacher said that in an excited tone, it infected the students, causing a big applause and cheers.

Devil attacks have never been stopped twice before and those who received this decor up to this time are known to spread the name of our Earlshyde Advanced Magic Academy far and wide!(Walter White)

More cheering.

What is this The teacher seems to be enjoying the spotlight Is he becoming a live MC?

Therefore, we will award the reward originally presented to students with excellent scores only at the time of their graduation as recognition of their achievement. Headmaster, if you will.(Aizawa)

And like that we personally received a present from the headmaster.

I wonder what it is?

Well then, Ultimate Magicians Representative, s.h.i.+en Waelfordi, please say a few words.(Mr.Garvey) (Kaelpie: Alternate misp.r.o.nunciation: Thin Uoruhuodo)

What?(s.h.i.+n)

Because it was so sudden, I unintentionally let out strange voice!

I was distracted by the contents of the gift and completely careless.

The students are giggling! Alfred-san, I wish you warned me!

In any case, now that I was nominated, I have to say something

But what?

Oh, Ultimate Magicians representative s.h.i.+n Walford is it? By the way, when did I become the representative?(s.h.i.+en)

I guess you were the head of the Ultimate Magic Research Group from the start.(Mr.Garrison)

So its like that Well I dont quite consider myself to be a hero and I believe there is no need to decorate us. We fight the devils because we believe that letting them run wild will lead to the destruction of the world.(s.h.i.+en)

Everyone was listening to my story motionlessly.

Everyone in the team probably thinks that getting decorated is an honor, but every one of us think that it is a necessary action. I think we worked hard to protect the world, our country, and our precious friends and family.(s.h.i.+en)

When I looked at everyone, they were all nodding.

Well, although Grandma is a woman, shed rather attack than defend in my opinion.(s.h.i.+en)

Oh, I made a joke again.

But this time the teacher is laughing as well.

The threat of the devils havent disappeared just yet. Instead, the threat of the devils may even be more intense in the future.(s.h.i.+en)

The devils are running wild and Stromm has not appeared ever since he took over the imperial capital.

I think that these two rounds were only a skirmish.

From now on, it might become all-out warfare, and everyone may be called up. Joint training with the Knight Academy will almost certainly be arranged again.(s.h.i.+en)

When I said that, everyones faces turned tense.

Unfortunately, its true. Joint exercises with the Knight Academy are necessary.

Lets keep on working hard so that when the time comes to confront this crisis, you can protect yourself and those who are important to you! Er Thats it from me. Thank you very much.(s.h.i.+en)

Saying that I left the voice amplification tool

UWAAAAAA!!!(U.A. High)

That was the loudest cheer today.

Everyone had determination in their eyes.

Its easier to die during student mobilization. Its imperative they improve their skills with lessons and field exercises.

Magic King!(Todou)

Magic King s.h.i.+n-san!(Nagisa) (Kaelpie: Original text*: Mr. Sue)

Kyaaa-! Magic King-!(As.h.i.+do)

Stop it! I dont need cheers like that!

That was a wonderful greeting. Everyone, there is a joint exercise with the knight school this semester too. Lets subjugate a lot of demons and work hard so that we can improve our skills.(Im running out of names for this teacher)

Yes!(Kunugigaoka Junior High)

The Magic King shouts ceased and the reply of all the students in the auditorium echoed.

I returned to everyone while feeling sick from the sudden Magic King shouts. Gus was desperately holding in a laugh.

Its his fault!

Kukukuku, you seem to have become accustomed to speaking in front of a crowd havent you?(August)

You thats not it. Honestly, Im not used to it yet.(s.h.i.+n)

It was a wonderful greeting, no? You guys are motivated, right?(August)

Oh yeah! If everyones motivation goes up with this, there is nothing to be ashamed of.(Maria)

I just said honestly what I felt at the moment, but if everyones motivation went up, wouldnt it be improper to be embarra.s.sed?

With our commendation, the opening ceremony was over, and we came back to the cla.s.sroom.

By the way, what is this gift?(s.h.i.+n)

Oh? s.h.i.+n doesnt know?(August)

Even though its famous its not strange that you dont know, s.h.i.+n-dono.(Alfred)

Does everyone know?(s.h.i.+n)

Yes, the Knight Academy and the Law School are a different matter, but what is given to excellent Magic Academy students is(Alfred)

What is it?(s.h.i.+n) (Kaelpie: Well jeez if you let him finish then maybe hell tell you.)

A manastone.(Alfred)

A manastone!?(s.h.i.+n)

Whats that? Im from a different world, but why did I never hear about them in this world?

What? Walford, have you not heard about them from Melinda-sama?(Yuri)

This is the first time Ive heard of it.(s.h.i.+n)

When I said that, everyone began whispering.

I cant bring myself to believe Melinda-sama would forget to include something like that in her lessons(Yuri)

But if s.h.i.+n doesnt know then she didnt teach him intentionally.(Maria)

This is probably because Melinda-sama knows if s.h.i.+n finds out about manastones he will create something ridiculous.(August)

Ah! I see!

They synchronized.

Well thats it! We all agree!(Maria)

When you return, tell Melinda-sama you got a manastone at the academy and ask her how to use it? And(August)

What and?(s.h.i.+n)

It seems that everyone knew about it. Is that normal in this world?

Ive never seen it before What is this? Manastone

After all, n.o.body taught me about manastones.

Everyone told me: Learn from Melinda-sama..

Even Sicily told me: Er I think its better to learn about it with Grandmas instructions.

What did Grandma keep secret from me? Im feeling really anxious

The homeroom today ended with a talk concerning the lesson plan.

In any case, our magic practice seems to be self-study.

It seems that there is nothing the Academy can teach us.

The cla.s.sroom lessons wont change.

After listening to that notice, that school day was over. It finished in the late morning and I wanted to ask my Grandmother about the manastone, so I had the study group have a day off.

After that, it seems everyone decided to disguise themselves and go out to town.

How soon will I be able to take a stroll through town without all the stress? I would enjoy something like that.

Its a challenge

Everyone opened Gate and went home at once. It seems that they will converge afterwards.

I also wanted to go home quickly, so I decided to return home by Gate.

Maria accompanied us.

Im home, Alex.(s.h.i.+n) (TN: The gatekeeper)

Oh? Welcome back. Did you return by Gate?(Alex)

Yeah, I wanted to hurry back Is Grandma still here?(s.h.i.+n)

She cant go out without Gate. She doesnt understand Merlin-samas Gate, but(Alex)

Is that so? Thanks.(s.h.i.+n)

Dont mention it. I see youve brought Lady Maria alongside the young wife.(Alex)

Yes, Im home.(Sicily)

The young wife has certainly settled in(Alex)

She has, now that you mentioned it.(s.h.i.+n)

Oh no, I This is probably.(Sicily)

Shes become used to it!(Maria)

Really?(Sicily)

Truly!(Alex)

I can hear chatter behind me.

More importantly, I wonder if Grandma is here?

Are you home, Grandma?(s.h.i.+n)

As soon as youre back youre noisy. Is something wrong?(Melinda)

Good. Shes here.

*** You are reading on / ***

Yeah, I have something I want to ask you about Grandma.(s.h.i.+n)
