@CheesiBoye Apparently modern Japanese kids start learning English in 5th grade. So, he's had 4 years of early English lessons. So if he had the genius learning abilities of these little girls, he should be able to use those skills to learn the rest of it.


But what's got me wondering now, is if they ever explain why people have dormant holes at all. Porkus seemingly only has the single hole in the top right of his body. Sarah has them centered around the upper part of the spine, which sort of makes more sense.

I didn't realize he was using Ted talks to learn English, I thought he was trying to use Ted talks to learn new things he could imitate in his pocket dimension. Tho in hindsight I guess the entire omake was about how quickly they picked up japanese

 

[saredesu]

Haruto jams it in every hole.
Ted talk bad, don't

 

[SSDCZX]

imagine trying to out geniuses being a brainlet

 

[EvaKim]

the holes made me uneasy

well that's a lot to absorb so quickly. So:

• you're born to this world with N number of "strings". These strings determine your max "level" (aka level of control over magic). As far as society knew, this N was unchangeable at birth. As these strings are not at all detectable, except indirectly through an appraisal spell.
• you have some number of strings bound to the earth and connected to your back, which determines your base level. The remaining strings are "loose", connected to the back but not tethered. This level can increase and strings tether through training and experience. but you are capped at N. Once you hit N your magical prowess cannot grow.

• as usual, Haruto being basically a reality bender is able see these strings. and tug around with them. These strings seem to be connected to the mental psyche, however. Though it's inperceptible to everyone else, the one who's strings are tugged will feel some mental anguish
• On top of that, he can see "holes" in a person's back. These represent untapped true potential. So a person's true max level is N + H, based on the number of holes.
• Haruto previously shown that he can force level ups by tugging these loose strings into the ground.
• As we are learning now, these strings are unseverable and unable to be unthethered. So Haruto cannot as of now reduce levels nor reduce the max level of a person
• Haruto can however, force a loose string into any holes a person has. This causes extreme mental anguish to the point of passing out, but the result is that the string seems to know in this circumstance to split itself. Filling the hole and thus increasing the subject's max level. Something unheard of in society.
• If there is no loose string, an existing tethered string can be forced in as well, also knowing to properly sever itself. I imagine this is even more anguish-inducing, but TBD.
• Lastly, Majins have no strings/tethers. if they possess a human, they also seem to temporarily lose their strings (loose and tethered) and holes. Supposedly a representation that their mental state was taken over.

I think I got everything? Man, I remember when this was a simple little slice of life with a cute little sister and a fox girl maid.

I guess that begs one more question though:

- can holes be created? I assume if strings can't be tethered then holes can't be closed (except by a string)

An additional thought is that these seem to be the way that people take in mana from the world to use, hence them being connected or not being what's necessary. Demons use their own mana entirely though, therefore they lack the strings and affect others when they posses them, probably by replacing that connection to the world or something like that.

Well, this triggered my Tripophobia

I bet even if it makes you a god, many people wouldn't want this ability thanks to Tripophobia

This shit is nightmarish for anyone with trypophobia

Forgot the main takeaway: in a world where your power (social and otherwise) is directly related to your max-level and decided at birth, the solution mc found was to... increase the max level with hole-count H - another number also decided at birth!

So rather than being a salvation to those who was born with a poor lot in life, this is a salvation to some (but likely few as H seems random & independent, and unlikely to be distributed way above the average N) and a curse to others, and once all the re-shuffling has been performed it will be the exact same situation where some are born with a poor lot in life.

 

[LordofLeechers]

Porcus is a good kid.

 

[Shinigamisama]

Haruto doesn't discriminate. He plugged sensei's hole, then proceeds to an old man's hole.

I still wonder what would happen if they connect a string of one person to a hole of another.

Guess I gotta stop this one now. Professors back set off trypophobia

Thank you for the scanlation

 

[aramil31]

Thoughts and prayers to the people here claiming that this (and the prior) chapter is setting off a fictional phobia that they self-diagnosed themselves as having after reading about it on Reddit. They simply can't stop themselves from seeking attention with the made-up condition "trypophobia" and commenting on everything that "triggers" it.

I've got a legitimate fear of heights, but you don't see me commenting about every high space without safety railings I see in a manga and saying how much it triggered me, cause that shit is cringe (not to mention the height is entirely fictional).

I think the majin don't have strings, because they aren't tethered to that world, like they're on wifi, their strings probably get shifted by that miasma/mist Haruto sees to another world. Maybe he will get the ability to mess with the strings of otherworldly stuff later, if he can see where they are from.
