Thanks for you work on this series.
Also, Ive been wondering - now that the whole DMCA mess seems to have blown over, could you please reupload the older chapters?
Maybe I'm off base, but it seems like quite a lot happened in these two chapters. This sudden rush kind of feels like what happens in other series when the manga is about to be axed. Are other people getting that vibe or is it just me?
Since this is adapted from a light novel series, it may just be the pacing of the series.
Having this kind of development happen during the final match of the tournament is also a way to lead up to the next conflict, and it's an escalation of the current "noble vs commoner" tension of the tournament.
