TL was indeed a Clown. Or a really bad AI.

Two nice examples of what passed as translation in this chapter (not a comprehensive list, but these were egregious):

"Even for a "child" who is had only just begun their path as a sorcerer are able to one-sidedly trample on experienced warriors"
"You could fight from both a long and short distance they can control your own magic power consumption rate and their effects by how much magic power you apply on the blade itself and you can always still fight with your sword should you run out of magic power I guess?" (No punctuation, except for the very end, so I'll treat this as one sentence)

If I encounter something like this in an in-game chat I am the guy to answer "Bro, please read over what you wrote again before posting", but in this instance someone has to have read this again before posting and actively decided that it was good.

I thought they were trying to write in old/middle English for flavor and just sucked at it.

Thanks for the translation.

The ones Elhao quoted are dialogue of Faestes (Merlin ahh vice prez wizard) and Fissel. That being said, I do think the loli commander old-English kinda a bit forced, though not like I know how that language is spoken back then actually.

old man vs old man.
do it.

More like, Old man vs (very and actual) Old man
😂😂

This, of all manga, shouldn't have gone for the "swords are heavy" trope. Looking at that sword, it wouldn't have been more than a kilogram. Which is not heavy for someone her age, unless she has muscle dystrophy. Sure, it would start feeling heavy if they had went with the thousand swings idea, but they didn't.

 

[SciFiMisc]

Any translation is better than watching this get like 5 chapters ahead in raws with nothing in sight forever

 

[Junomano]

Knowing that he already fought the old hag loli principal and she actually didn't win, i do not think that he would fare badly against the vice principal at all

 

[cancerverse]

Thank you for the chapter.

 

[dexdoujinmanga]

He needs to first learn the joy of seeing a cliffhanger.

Which is not heavy for someone her age, unless she has muscle dystrophy. Sure, it would start feeling heavy if they had went with the thousand swings idea, but they didn't.

to be fair, she was already doing swings beforehand, so she's def able to swing teh sword herself, it's moreso when she has to hold it above her head while Beryl adjusts her positioning that she's properly shown wobbling while holding it (page 23), the one pose on the previous page where she's holding it down with blurry lines is more showing her concentration than weakness based on context. She also holds the sword causally throughout after the fact.

whether or not swords are easy to hold upright for a few seconds is something I can't comment on, but long sticks held like that can be wobbly for sure cause of lever forces.

also, wonder if it a a translation issue, she says "it's heavy" after hitting the mannequin and falling to cut, and when Beryl shares his anecdote about the "heaviness", he says "I bent a sword once", which def feels more like a "hard" issue than a "heavy" one. or tiring, that could also work

 

[Bibliothecarius]

Thnks for the chapter!

 

[tekkenshu7]

Two powerhouse old men about to get it on. I am hyped

This is quite different from the LN.
Firstly they skipped arcs to get to this one. Though, I can understand why, connecting to this one makes Myui’s character development clearer.

More importantly though, the vice principal of the academy wasn’t that involved in Fissel’s class. His stance with spellblade is the same, but he was hands off and made little appearance at this stage, as in at no point the vice principal appeared in Fissel’s class in the LN.

Also, the duel in the class was between Beryl and Fissel in the LN (maybe they will still do it later?)

In any case, the adaptation has been great so far, so I think any changes made is probably gonna be positive.
