| THIS IS A NOVEL ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS VOLUME. ---------------------------------------- at least this becomes an interesting transfer student, is it only me who likes the Miko girl? Oliver is a vegetarian? Are you serious, lol. The Magic Palace Kimberly - It's difficult enough to justify "what kind of existence" this huge and extremely eccentric magic building is. Even the specialized graduate students on campus occasionally disagree, and there is even a separate academic field called "Kimberly Structural Studies". Kimberly's appearance is more of a fortress than a school, and because of its ornate façade and soaring spire, the current prevailing opinion is that Kimberly adopted the Cigan style popular in the eighth century. There are at least 20 large halls on campus, and more than 300 small rooms, and the number of rooms not only increases or decreases daily, but sometimes even "discover" new rooms. The size of the exterior and the volume of the interior are clearly inconsistent - but that's nothing compared to the myriad of mysterious monsters this palace contains. Oliver stared at the clock's text disk in a gloom and noticed some "little creatures" clutching the hour and minute hands. The creatures were translucent, with a pair of what looked like wings or fins growing on their slender bodies. The young man nodded his head in a flash of realization. Perhaps it was a bit of a bad sleep, the blanket Pete had covered himself with had fallen near his stomach. After putting on his uniform and inserting his cane sword, Oliver was careful not to wake up his roommate and re-blanket him – he wanted to get along with this difficult roommate. Although Pete made no secret of the subtlety of his expression yesterday when he learned that the two had been assigned to the same room. After getting a rough idea of the exterior of the building, Oliver turned his attention to the garden between the girls' dormitory. There are no plants and trees in the garden, but instead there are several small fountains around a large fountain, which is a place for conversation with chaise lounge around it. In addition to allow students to interact with each other across grade levels, the place is also used as a meeting place for couples to meet up. Arriving at the central fountain, Oliver began to look around at the other six small fountains and spotted human figures at one of them. He looked over there curiously, then was immediately startled. From there came the sound of water splashing. The eastern girl draws water from the fountain in a basin and dumps it repeatedly on her head - she pulls her blouse down to her waist, leaving her upper body naked. As soon as Nanao spotted Oliver, he waved at him. Oliver immediately rushed to the girl's side with all his might, then turned around and raised his cane sword, chanting a spell at the boys' dormitory. The space in front was suddenly and gradually dyed black, hiding the two figures like a cloth curtain. Witnessing the magic up close made Nanao exclaim in surprise.  Even though he was feeling shaken, Oliver maintained his masking magic and shouted at the person behind him.Many questions came up in the teenager's mind one after another, but he couldn't ask any of them. What exactly is this fight she's talking about? What on earth did a young girl of her own age go through to be so wounded? What had happened in her hometown before coming here - they were not familiar enough to ask such questions. Even so, the teenager still couldn't take his eyes off of it. The bones and muscles that move underneath the scarred skin, the strong and supple flesh that is exercised through unrelenting practice, and the clean magic that continues to circulate within. In these few seconds, Oliver vaguely glimpses the background that makes up all this - the straightforward and honest personality of the young girl. |
OK, it's been a while since I've read a new LN that I enjoyed as much as this! WTF this was absolutely amazing! The world is really intresting and reminds me a lot about Harry Potter, which isn't the norm for LNs. An endearing main cast of which 3 already have managed to have good enough growth to last them for a couple of volumes. Plenty of twists throughput the book but the twist at the end was amazing to say the least. Now I really can't wait for the next volume to arrive in March! Also I have to say, Bokuto's writing style is a pleasure to read! |

| I read this a while ago, but a belated post is better than never. A very solid fakeout intro. The intro segment is pretty convincing, and you would not be faulted for assuming that Oliver is a generic, morally perfect protagonist. The main twist has also stealthily been located in the epilogue, even though it is the most important part. It goes to show you that you have to read until the last few pages. The title also carries a double meaning. The obvious is the literal one, and the less obvious one refers to the seven instructors who reign over the academy. It's also worth noting that the narration can be eloquent sometimes, and has a very broad vocabulary. I had to google a few words here and there because I wasn't familiar with some of the more archaic terms. The debate on speciesism (the rights of demi-humans), while not a philosophical masterpiece, was pretty solid by novel standards. |

| I read this after watching the anime and it goes into way more detail about the mentality of mages in this world and how twisted they often are which is something I really appreciated. The ending does a good job of hooking you and making you want to read more. |
