The Black Annihilation Dragon realized that this time, he would be completely killed.
–Should I attack first, in a desperate gamble? Or should I try to avoid this attack with all my might? Even if the chance of escape is low, should I bet everything on running away?
In the Black Annihilation Dragon’s mind, which instinctively tried to avoid “death,” several options arose.
The chances were slim, no matter what.
But if I did nothing, I’d surely die here and now.… Read more
A Teacher, But I’m Feared as a Witch Volume 2 chapter 7 part 2
Maple Leaf is said to specialize in sacred magic also known as holy magic, or healing magic. Considering that the predecessor of the Holy Empire was a religious organization called the Maple Leaf Holy Church, it somehow makes sense.
However, if they focus too much on healing magic, other talented magicians might not have sufficient environments to research their respective types of magic. While specializing in one area might sound good, it eliminates the possibility of combining multiple types of magic from the start.… Read more

Spirit Master Who Is Volume 2 Chapter 2 part 4
At first glance, Rourke and the spirit master seemed evenly matched. But Rourke knew he was being pushed back, and he was inwardly panicking.
The reason was simple: the sheer weight of each strike, the difference in power.
It wasn’t a matter of skill but something more fundamental—the difference in output between a temporary contract and a full spirit contract.
Of course, the grade of the sword spirit also played a role, but the fact that the spirit master was fully contracted meant he could unleash his power to its fullest, putting Rourke at a disadvantage.… Read more

“Use that money to buy your parents a thank-you gift for raising you!!”
The two tough-looking men agreed with Edel’s words, but Kurtz remained unyielding.… Read more

And yet right now, these three were bonded by an intense sense of fellow feeling. Any lingering hostility from the previous day had dissipated, replaced by a profound kinship befitting comrades.
Between bites of the spicy curry, Hakua invoked that legendary tale of friendship.… Read more
