the pieces are moving forward, finally?

There are so many things that can go wrong when you start branching away from time and go on a new path.

I guess the author either is planning for a temporal correction, or a paradox.
There is a reason why most series which deal with time say either Fugit or Parodox only waits those who play with time.

That... is the dumbest idea for a test. Dying if you fail is already stupid enough, but the fact that someone could end up getting killed for someone else's mistake is even worse. The fact that they just take it at face value is... uhg, dumb.

 

[EclipseKing]

So theyre willing to just murder students

 

[AxeBurningfire]

I doubt that's legal

 

[Athanova]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

 

[dkuro]

thanks for the chapter.
Finally, we could start a new arc !

 

[pandacard]

@AxeBurningfire the problem is that fantasy worlds often don't hold the same values as real life, so where it wouldn't be legal here, their common sense may put less value on a stupid or weak individual life, darwinism at it's finest. The nobles are the biggest thing, they would have probably died if they didn't listen to Eleonora... and that would have just been their lot in life because they're placing too much on status and not wanting to listen to a commoner.

 

[Colomopri]

eiii isnt that illusion though?? so in the end no one will die and there are teachers around to provide support amirite

 

[Kyujyu]

@icekatze @EclipseKing What part of all that being an illusions you guys don't understand?

Btw its nice seeing mc in reincarnation/time travel story disclose the events and getting help instead of being a retard and tackling it solo.
Especially he waits until people can actually believe him to disclose it.

 

[icekatze]

@Kyujyu
The parts where they said:
• "All of you might have been killed had you decided to continue fighting."
• "...but for the students to retreat safely without casualties... it has been 10 years since the last time such a thing has happened!"
• "To return back alive, that is the passing grade of this test."

While I admit something may have been lost in translation, they never said that the illusions were harmless, only that they were not a real attack on the town. In English, at least, illusion does not necessarily imply intangibility, rather it implies a deceptive appearance.

 

[Jpwong]

@icekatze I took that to mean that if they died in the illusion fight they would then be told they failed when they pop back out of the dungeon. I mean it's possible they were deadly illusions, but it would probably reflect poorly on the academy if people kept just dying, especially if it was anyone important.

 

[Kyujyu]

@icekatze Maybe its the fact that I'm non-native but I understand it as:
The illusion will kill you in the test but you will not really dead as it was all inside the dungeon.
You just return from the dungeon and failed the test same as @Jpwong said.
Sort of like VR.

 

[Disguised22]

@icekatze Not sure where you're from, but illusion literally means that it is intangible and does not exist, and I've never heard is used in another way. They were clearly talking about casualties within the illusion. The translation is fine.

@Disguised22
Illusion, noun (Oxford Dictionary)

If you're looking for a word that implies incorporeality or intangibility, you might consider using Mirage instead.

 

[EclipseKing]

@kyujyu did you bother actually reading?

 

[Disguised22]

@icekatze The appropriate definition of a word is decided based on the context in which the word is used, and intangibility was heavily implied considering that it existed purely in their heads. You have to be pretty far on the spectrum to defensively copy and paste a list of definitons instead of explaining your reasoning to try and clear up misunderstandings with your own words. To copy and paste a definition myself: "MIrage: Something illusory or insubstantial".

 

[icekatze]

@Disguised22
If you're talking about context, they explicitly said that people died and were casualties in previous years. I don't see how this heavily implies intangibility.

Some of the most common kinds of illusions are where things exist and appear to not exist, like camouflage, or things like motion induced blindness.
