Magic practice is finally starting
Schtrom’s objective was the Empire.
It seemed he conducted his experiment in the Kingdom because of that. I heard from Gus that before the commotion of the devil occurred, the increase of demons had already been a problem.
This is also probably one of the results of Schtrom’s experiments.
Because Schtrom had already left the Kingdom, they thought that the number of demons will decrease, but it kept increasing instead.
Previously, the increase of demons went unnoticed for an entire year. But this time, the increase had been visible to the eye. It might be because the demons in the Empire had increased tremendously. However, it was something the Kingdom had already expected.
And the Empire… no, it should be called the ‘Old Empire.’ Not a word has been heard there.
Although there has been no movement, didn’t it mean that nothing bad is going to happen? There were a lot of people who thought optimistically.
However, Schtrom is an existence who could care less about the human population. No one can imagine when he would suddenly take action.
Because of that, he might go around killing humans like insects.
Although it was just a ‘Possibility,’ nevertheless, the possibility was quite high.
Therefore, it seemed like other countries had agreed to cooperate and monitor the Old Empire.
Us, on the other hand, we decided to raise our fighting power as much as possible. And because of this, the magic practice for the Research Society is must proceed as planned.
“Alright. Right now, before anything else, I want to confirm how much magic power everyone can control. According to your own limit, collect as much magic power as you can.”
And then, everyone began to gather magic power. Although magic power is invisible to the eye, one can sense it when it begins to gather at one place, because one can feel the magic in the air. When a large amount of magic power has gathered, even those who could not use magic could feel the pressure.
Although the amount of magic power they gathered was small when we first started, thanks to the magic control practice they have been doing since before the war had started, everyone’s magic power had increased by a large amount.
The quantity of magic power one could have in this world was ‘as much magic power as one could control.’ The human bodies have no such thing has a place to store magic. For that reason, in order to use a large spell, it is necessary to be able to control the magic power in the surroundings.
The amount of magic power one can control is equal to how much magic power they have.
“Nn, this is good. Now then, just as you are, create a Magic Barrier.”
With my command, everyone created a Magic Barrier. Nn, the Magic Barriers they have created are thicker than before. I wonder if this much is enough?
“Alright, everyone can release your barrier. This is good, with this much magic power, you’ll have enough to use most magic.”
“Then, will you finally teach us how to use Gate?”
“Well, that will be included. If you rely on Gate alone, your attack and defense magic will only be half-hearted.”
“That’s fine as well. I’ll learn all of them.”
When it comes to magic, Rin is aggressive as always.
“What should we do? At first, I was thinking of teaching everyone individually on what they want to learn… However, with the current situation, attack magic, defense magic, or body enhancement magic, I thought maybe it would be better if everyone learns all of them?”
“That’s right… Previously, we never thought that we would be in this kind of situation.”
“Isn’t it fine? I was also feeling insecure if all I’m going to be learning is defense magic.”
“Me as well. As I thought, I would like to practice healing magic a little more. Of course, I would also like to learn some attack magic.”
“As for me, I’d like to learn body strengthening magic and defense magic degozaru. Because no matter what I do, I’m no good with attack magic…”
“Well then, rather than teaching individually, everyone will learn everything. At the same time, Julius, you’ll also learn attack magic. Don’t say you’re no good at it.”
“Ugh… I-I’ll do my best degozaru…”
Julius is really part of the body strengthening group. Even though he’s a student of a Magic Academy.
What should we do that? Although we want to practice magic, we cannot use the practice field… Ah! I just thought of a good idea.
“Well, for starters, let’s begin with practicing attack magic?”
“Although I don’t mind… What are we going to do about the practice field? If I’m not mistaken, we didn’t make any reservations to use it?”
“I know a good place where we can practice. It’s the place where I used to practice, and because it won’t matter what kind of magic you release, you can practice as much as you want.”
“Heehh, so it’s the place where Shin used to practice. Indeed, if Shin says that we can use whatever magic we want, then…”
“That’s right. If it’s the place that can withstand Shin-dono’s magic, then…”
“Then no matter what magic we use, it’ll be okay!”
…Huh? Isn’t the way they evaluated the place a little strange?
“…For now, let’s go. When we get there, I’ll explain what we’ll be doing.”
After saying that, I connected Gate to the very nostalgic wilderness.
“So this place is the place where Shin-kun used to practice…”
“Hey, doesn’t this place… look like it’s been trashed?”
“Indeed. It looks like it’s been trashed.”
“…There looks to be a crater and places with traces of being melted…”
“It gives the feeling of this place being in a different world degozaru.”
When everyone arrived, they started looking here and there. If it’s this place, everyone can practice attack magic without worrying about other people. It’s a nice idea even if I do say so myself.
“Now then, before we start practicing attack magic, when everyone starts using magic, what kind of image do you have?”
“What you ask, normally, before I use magic, a teacher would be there to give some guidance, and then I will reflect on it, and imagine that…”
“Come to think of it, Magi-sama said the image Walford-kun creates is special.”
“He certainly did say that. He said Shin imagines the ‘Process’ rather than the ‘Result.'”
“That’s right. But what will you guys do if you just imagine the ‘Result?’ That’s why I want everyone to be able to imagine the ‘Process’ as well. That way, that range of your magic will increase.”
“However, even if you tell me to imagine the process, I don’t have any idea how to do it…”
“That’s why, before we start practicing, I’ll teach you guys how to do it.”
After I said that, I took out a desk, a candle, and a beaker from the extra-dimensional storage space. I’ll start with Fire, I guess.
“First, I will ignite this candle.”
I used fire magic to light the candle.
“Well, it will naturally catch fire and start to burn.”
Everyone nodded.
“Then, how do you put this fire off?”
“Eh? If you just blow on it, wouldn’t the fire go off?”
“Well, that will indeed cause the fire to be put out. However, if I put this beaker on top of it…”
“…Ah! It disappeared!”
“Why do you think it disappeared?”
“Why you ask… I don’t know that kind of thing!”
“With fire, if you have fuel, you understand that it will continue to burn?”
“Well, without any fuel, it won’t burn.”
“The fuel you speak of, for example, even this candle has a little of it. However, that’s not all it has.”
“Umm… No good, I don’t understand. What do you mean?”
“For example… When you burn something in a furnace, other than having coal or charcoal, you need to have something else in order to increase the fire, right?”
“Ah! Air is needed, Sir!”
“That’s right, in order for a fire to burn, other than fuel, it also needs air.”
“Heehh. However, if I blow on it, it’ll disappear?”
“That only applies to small fires such as the one on the candle. Do the large fires such as the one from a bonfire disappear if you blow on it?”
“Certainly, it won’t disappear.”
“For now, take a look at this. But if you’re interested, I’ll teach you guys later. In order for this fire to burn a gas in the air called ‘Oxygen’ is necessary. When Oxygen burns, it creates a nonflammable gas called, “Carbon Dioxide.’ So when you’re burning the wax candle inside the beaker, it’s only using up the oxygen that’s inside. It then generates carbon dioxide. Gradually, the oxygen decreases, and carbon dioxide increases…”
I once again lit up the candle, and then covered it with the beaker.
“…Oh, I see. Because what’s left inside the beaker is the nonflammable carbon dioxide, then…”
“…It disappeared.”
“This is the basic structure of simple combustion. Returning to the topic of magic, first, putting out the fire. Does everyone think they can do it?”
I asked them after putting out the fire with a finger. Everyone was nodding.
“Just now, when I imagine the oxygen in the area has decreased…”
“…The fire… started to turn a lot paler…”
“And when you shoot this fire…”
I shot the fire towards the ground.
KABOOOM!
The ground melted.
“And so, it will become this kind of magic. Also, the magic I used during the entrance examination is similar to this. All I did was add a little speed to the flame and shot it.”
After I said that, I shot a flame bullet.
KABOOOOM!
When it landed on the ground, it decimated a large area of the ground and raised sand dust.
“I was intending to teach you guys something like this. What do you guys think?”
Everyone was looking at the spot where the flame bullet landed with serious expressions.
“Amazing. As I thought, it was a good idea to ask Walford-kun to create a Research Society.”
“Amazing… It’s so amazing that I’m afraid of learning it…”
“Shin-kun, does this same principle apply to healing magic? If I’m not mistaken, this uniform was granted amazing enhancement, so does that mean if we cannot use such magic as you’ve shown earlier, there’s no way we can grant such enhancement?”
“There’s a way. However, that is something that’ll come up later. For today, we’ll be practicing fire magic.”
With that, I stood in front of everyone to show them the stance before sending them off to practice. In order for everyone to level up, I’ll do my best to teach them.
Then, Alice suddenly said something.
“Hey Shin-kun, rather than conducting the lecture here, it would probably have been better if you did it in the laboratory with the blackboard before heading here for practice.”
“…”
That is also true…

A day in Cat’s life
Because this chapter was really short, she wanted to do a double release. However, a lot of things happened today and she was unable to work on the next chapter.
What happened today?
Cat was really busy in the morning and was constantly bugged by her parents. Of course, since they were leaving the country, and Cat wanted to just shoo away as soon as possible, so she did their bidding.
In the afternoon, before it was time for Cat to send her parents off to the airport, she spent about half an hour filling up the gas tank. However, she was then informed that there was no space for her in the car. (I was the driver for crap sake!) Because of that, Cat had to drive her butt to the nearest restaurant and ate lunch solitarily. [Poor Cat sniff, sniff]
After buying groceries for dinner, and thinking she’ll finally have time to rest and translate, her most beloved brother and awesome cousins enlightened her that they will be holding a party at the house. When they said it, it was already a done deal and she had no say in the matter.
So once more, Cat drove her butt to the grocery store and buy more food for dinner. She then spent the next two or more hours cooking dinner for more than twenty people. It is currently 11 pm Eastern time and the party is still at its peak. Cat will probably not get any sleep tonight since her cousins always sleep over after parties…
thanks for the chapter

Oh Caterella….get it Cat + Cinderella=Caterella….. no one likes my jokes. Still, if Cat told us she had a wicked Step-momma and wicked step-cousins i’d b’lieve it after reading a day in the life of a Cat. Cat, remember, there is always a heavily fortified translating corner in my basement. If you want us to kidnap you and let you translate for us undeserving leechers, I’m sure someone has a fairy godmother outfit. We can get you to that ball…..you know the one with the chain and shackles…..
I trate you better like a queen dont have to cooking or laundry nothing only have to live for translate and live in a contry with lenguage spanish because I where live XD

Thank you~
R.I.P. cat’s butt
poor Cat, anyway physic 101 lecture by Shin-sensei start today, everyone please pay attention…
and chemistry 101 lecture
I love Shin!
Cat, this too, will pass…
Thanks so much for all your hard work!!!
Thx for the chapter- And I’ll pray for you, Cat.
thx for enduring it cat
Tell me if I’m wrong :
Is it not because you INCREASE oxygène that the flamme turn blue ?
I thought that too… Maybe I shouldn’t skip my classes anymore…
If it is blue (intense in the center and lighter on the outside), it indicates the correct combustion of the gas.
If it is yellow or orange, it indicates the presence of carbon monoxide since the fluid is burned in form
Incorrect.
This info for where buy gas I especially use for the kitchen
Why You must make dinner for THEIR party
Seriously your brother and cousin are too much
Btw thanks for the chapter
Because they’ll die if I don’t feed them, lol.
It wasn’t really that much of a problem. It was just increasing the number of portion I had to make instead of just one.
Satou there XD because like Satou, you love to cook
Cat you like to cook and your nice , I think for that you dont care and You are good in that for that you have soo many people to eat XD
Still too much of nice if at lest they dont going to buy the grocery and cleand after party
If you ever need a loud Latina who will sing them forties tell me, sing is a euphemism of course XD
Thx for the chapter 🙂
orayt! sank you beri macho
E = mc2
let nuclear war begin……………
“However, Schtrom is an existence who could care less about the human population.”
-should be “could not care less”. Someone who could care less implies that he still cares a bit.
Trust me, we know. That’s the sort of thing you check the raws with, even I cant change it if it’s in the raws.
In that case, wouldn’t it be a problem with the “literal” translation as it would then give the opposite intended meaning?
1. they’re idioms and don’t have to follow logic. It’s sarcasm. Give this a read:
http://blog.dictionary.com/could-care-less/
2. We’ve been doing this for years now, we know when to be literal. The point I was trying to get across is our dedication to accuracy. We consider forcibly altering the source text based on our own assumptions to be no better than fanfiction.
Oh well, blame me for being a native English speaker. 🙁 It really does sound backward to me as noted in the link.
because sometimes english are confusing
ex: “i didn”t do nothing”

Poor kitty. I can only send you a virtual cookie with my appreciation for the chapter today. Stay healthy and thank you.
wow id be pissed if someone invited themselves to my house, said they were throwing a party, then i had to spend my money to feed said party.
It happens all the time at my house… But this time, they had it twice this week…
that sucks.
I would grab my katana and swing it like a mad man if they did it to me
lol, you’ll get reported for that. better take out the house power fuse first, grab your katana, then start swing it. no one will know what sliced them, you’ll be save from being reported, and everybody will be happy 😀
It’s impressive you still managed to translate a chapter despite all of that.
Thank you!
thanks for the translation! A day in Cat’s life sounds quite interesting, actually. Any chance it will be made into a series? 😉
Thank you very much!
Crimson Nanashi states happy new years Raph to all my fellow readers
Poor cat..
This is animal cruelty!!
Quick everyone lets go save cat!
My real motive
*After we save her, we can enslave her & make her work for us! But of course .. in exchange for these services~
Food(Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner) = 1 chap, Gallon of water = 2 chaps,
Belly Rubs = 3 chaps, Take her out for walk 5 chaps(we are risking us getting caught..), Catnip= 1 chap, Cuddling = Free*
To those who agrees to my plan, Vote up!
A minion can overthrow his lord!
The f*** is with that cliched plot mechanic at the end? Seriously, cousins/friends invite themselves to a party at your house when the parents are away? You can be more original than that!
/jk XD
Poor Cat. You should charge your brother for those services.
Thanks for the chapter. I’m a little confused about how Shin’s explanation jumped from how to put out a fire to shooting powerful flame bullets, which should require for the process to be inversed, but whatever…
poor cat, heres a virtual cookie o<( ´∀｀)っ
I don’t like it that he wants to teach them all his secrets. Most likely they wont be able to “copy”/learn everything to the same degree as he did – still I get the feeling that he is somehow loosing his own trademark. Maybe I am just an a**hole here and in reality I would also teach my friends if I knew they are about to go into a war.
Well it is just a story ^^
Kkkk Me too. I wish that instead he teach his magic, he teach the modern chemistry, it would be much better for everybody, cause like this the other could think in new magics and help he, or not…
given the world’s low level of technology, teaching them chemistry would be relatively worthless since they likely wouldn’t even be capable of synthesizing HCl. The point is, magic can actually get thigns done, wheras their civilization has no need and no capability for chemical industry.
Therefore teaching chemistry would be a waste of time.
I’ve thought in a chemistry just for them be able of imagine the process, like the basis… ¯_ ( º ᴥ º ) _/¯
Like he just done
so if he’s already doing what you wanted him to do….
why on earth are you complaining?
Kkk I was kind of complainig… It’s just that I was wishing for he doesn’t share all his magics, but the principle for them create their own magic… Just an egoistical thougt.
Yeah its going to bite him in the ass one day…I feel this story will take a twisted turn….sigh should I continue reading lol
-.-
wrong
The oxigen as decreased?
it becomes blue?
What bullshit xD.
Fire burns through using oxygen as catalyst.
yes.
The blue flame is duo the fuel being fully used up and an excess air is needed for that. Such a flame is called whistling flame too, as it whistles doo~
WHen the fuel is used completly, a flame wont make black smoke or carbon (black particles) onto metal held into it. So it’s called simply:
-full combustion state
Normal flame about 1200 degree.
Blue flame about 1700 degree.
It won’t explode … just from being launched at something.
You would need to pressureice it.
Have it surrounded by an layer of hydrogen(fuel) in a stable stated.
And upon impact, flame initatiated spontanous reaction.
Even easyer… make hydrogen in a bubble of magic.
Compress it to an liquid state.
Undo the magic layer of awesome explosion protection.
Hydrogen+Oxygen= Water
And while these two react in an explosion, you got yourself a small scale bomb.
But heck. It’s a stupid author anyways xD.
I searched something too. I think the author exaggerated in the OP… It’s like Shin can creat a mini-sun kkk
Ohhh we have a science expert here xD
Not exactly expert in science. But my work is related. It bugs me … when authors use half-half knowledge or when translation messes up said knowledge.
Like “I’m a bookworm, that read biology books, traveling books and anything in the libary.” … “…. but makeing this papyrus is hard!” … ” ohh .. and killing animals+butchering them makes me faint instantly with agony!”
I was .. “WTF GIRL! NAI WAI!!!!!”.
When i read something like that, it catapults me out of the books world.
Literaly … it seems that the libary for that part, was only holding manga …. and elementary grade picture books.
…basic science classes which you get at around the age of … let me calculate it… 14? Here in germany. And most schools are hardly doing alot… as many children and teens don’t enjoy science or physics. It’s mostly 1/5 of the class with an A~B, the rest D~F.
But yes. I’m working in that chemistry/ science area…
So my knowledge should surpass basic stuff easily.
But really… my dad tought me about the different types of flames.
When we were out camping … literally a gas burner does nothing else, then producing that blue flame. I asked my dad.. “Why’s that flame blue! So cool!” and he went “I don’t remembe rit fully, but it’s cause the gas is burned up completly with the air.”.
…guess what i tried as 5 year old.
Fan the next bonfire to become a blue fire.
I burned up alot of my mothers favorite fan…. and made quite an mess.
I am a science university student and…well, kinda forgotten about that 😛
thanks for the chap
Cat, Party planners also need to plan food prep. If they want a party, then they can prep for it too. If they can’t even plan to tell you, why are you having to be part of it? They declared that is was a done deal. That means the food should have already been a done deal also. I think that is a fair and logical step, and abstaining from being volunteered should be a lesson to them to actually PLAN everything, instead of just dumping work on you.
(And no, this isn’t so you have time to translate more. This is just common courtesy. Just cause you are family doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be extended the SAME courtesy that that they would grant a stranger.)
So this was post in January 2?
Simple question: (not for cat, but the proofreaders):
Not to be impatient (no really, I’m not!) but TL was done a week ago and yet, you’re not done? (I REALLY DON’T want to sound ungrateful). Ahem… ?
how many days does it take to have an update??tnx 4 the chapter anyways… 😀
That one I’m actually familiar with. It’s classed as “slang” brought over from America.
That is true, it seems like they are learning way faster than our MC, it has not even been one month since they’ve started and they’re already ready for advanced magic.
I don’t think this author will lead the story in too dangerous path but all the ingredients are here, it’s probably gonna be a silly story where he beat the enemy in 2 chapters, as he has already showed how shallow this MC is when it comes to friendships, he just trusts people too easily, makes me wonder if the author has forgotten the plot, Shin was supposed to be a twenty-something years old guy… In what kind of Utopia did he live before dying? If he told me it was a 10 years old kid, i would believe him.
This scene kind of reminds me of Harry Potter, when they form Dumbledore’s Army.
To an absurd degree, yes. The how and why they got to this point is almost completely different, but the general template…I doubt it was coincidence. It seems way too similar.
Cat is to nice I think , better putt to cooking the boys want the party and Cat going to a friend to sleep .
Other thing if want party too XD If you want party I say be happy
Thank you for translating!
Shin Walfords room of requirements… an open field.
Thanks for the chapter
