Tbh, I got confused myself while translating this chapter with many inverted sentence structures and such. I only had time for one quick proofread pass.

Edit: feel free to point out the errors in the TL. I do make revisions in my translations.
was there no proofreading? the dialogues are a mess

How did the sentence structure being confusing turn mana into manner, and summoner into summer?


So another chapter where he refused to draw an elixir on the ground and summon it heal the bloodletter. He did the same when she was turning into a ghoul, and he does it again. He really seems to dislike her.

It seems to me like Akira very much stopped attacking and is instead just staring at others fighting, with his mouth hanging open. Once again his greenhorn nature is showing. He needs to grow up quickly if he's planning to save anyone.

Then here's one:
On page 12, should be "she" not "he". "She's not here?!" or "She's gone?!".

From what I remember, Akira isn't able to draw an elixir is because he needs a something to draw it unto. Unlike summoning, it appears that items like the elixir he drew previously needs to be drawn on magic paper, which he failed to replicate on a prior chapter.

From what I remember, this was never a thing that was mentioned. I even returned to ch1&2 to verify, and nothing like that is ever stated.
And it makes absolutely zero sense why he would have such an arbitrary limit on the ability to summon potions, but he can summon divine stuff and swords and other objects willy-nilly on any surface around him, including choppy waters and uneven ground.

But either way, doesn't matter. If there was any such restriction, he would constantly be carrying a bunch of those papers in his pockets and luggage and companions pockets. So the fact he doesn't pull one out to heal her is purely by his own will.


ps: > "unlike summoning" - it IS summoning.

Chapter 8, page 15.

He needed a magic scroll infused with Magic in order to "Draw" an item. Which in chapter 9, he calls it Item drawing.

Chapter 24, page 16.

He tries to create another elixir, but the scroll turns into flames.

Also, the "items" he summons are just creatures he "transmute/transforms" into items. Golem into swords, and Divine beings into divine spears.

No as if there is any difference in summoning "creatures" or "items". They are just mana constructs either way, and it is exactly why he could summon items like the elixir in the first place.

But like I said, even if we were to assume he truly had such a limit, he would obviously be carrying a bunch of the needed papers everywhere he goes. So it is not as if it would change anything, practically speaking.

Have you check the chapter references?

As far as we know there is a difference.

And of course this difference is important because he can no longer use the magic scrolls because of his repaired mana nerves (= Magic Power) the scrolls turnes into flames when he try to draw an elixir.

Again, easy enough to fix: just use less power.
Or I suppose he could change what the paper is made of - like he could just carry a metal plate treated the same way (or something otherwise flame retardant). Or he could use the same paper, but treat it with some flame retardant gel. Or he could soak it in water before using it.

But I still call doubt on there being any difference between items and creatures - yes, even though actual chapters has claimed there to be. Because it is the exact same process either way and in both cases he creates something from nothing (he doesn't actually summon those creatures, unlike how actual summoners contract with an actual creature/spirit to summon).

You're just clearly ignoring facts that the manga has already stated. With the chapters I referenced, there is a clear difference between summoning and item drawing; one can be done without magic scrolls and one requires it.

For him not using Item draw again, you're going on the fact that it fails because of his mana pool being larger, but we don't know that, even he doesn't know why it turns into flames when drawing items.

Unless the manga states it as fact or has previously shown it to be true, we can't just state what he can or cannot do.

I am not ignoring them, I am calling them into doubt. Because to me it reads far more like author realized it would be hard to balance stuff/make drama if mc kept that ability, and decided on some random reason for why it should no longer work. But then be content seeing problems [for the process], instead of looking for/seeing solutions to the problem (because the problems were their goal, so the latter would be counterproductive to them).
But it makes no sense for such a plot-convenient issue to show up and for there to be a difference in the two processes to begin with. And like I keep on iterating, even if it actually really had, there are plenty of potential solutions to it (which in the absence of having been tried, we have to assume would work).

And, on the topic of trying, I think it is odd that he [in this and similar situations] doesn't even attempt to create elixirs again even if he would expect it to fail, simply because it costs him nothing to try. While if he somehow does succeed, he can save someone he wants to save.
