Thanks for the TL!

This chapter is soo fun, even though I'm the reader I can feel I'm the students running from Beryl sensei lol.

Also he still can't forgot about his drinking friends

Yeah! The artist framed those scenes perfectly

 

[AlphaFlow]

the translations rough, like very rough, some speech bubbles felt AI translated level of rough

 

[Bladist]

Just nitpicking, but he's calling Beryl with -dono (殿) not -sama (様)

Tacking onto this, Faustus is treating Beryl as an equal worthy of respect, instead of as a blatant superior. Context is important in all forms of literature.

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

people are getting spoiled these days. I remember reading the occasional jp->ch->sp->en translated scans.

Daaaammmn....this chapter gives me a lot of surprises. It takes a completely different direction compare to the LN. It almost felt like the author realized his mistake in storywriting in his LN and ended up revised it in the manga. 😅

Also, because Shuppe is a character with strong and meaningful background, his death really have an impact on Beryl, huh? Both of them had the same level of swordmanship and the same wavelength. Because of that, they can casually share their thought without holding back.

 

[Vergift]

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.

I don't think the mangaka will skip it. They probably change the sequence of the events that happened. That arc is too important to skip because it's still related to Bishop Reveos before.

 

[Vergift]

This is quite interesting in that its completely different from the light novel, fledora did not exist and faeutus was far more antagonistic from the get go and did not help Fissel at all for her classes and beryl never sparred with the student, only against Fissel as a demo of the peak.

In LN, Fledora is exist (her name was Fredra in the LN), but she didn't put under the spotlight like this. Also, it seems there's a bit different characterization between the LN and the manga.

 

[NickieTheFool]

Anyone else disappointed with how the anime looks

 

[Tds-PdV]

I don't think the mangaka will skip it. They probably change the sequence of the events that happened. That arc is too important to skip because it's still related to Bishop Reveos before.

Of course, the skipped arcs are important for the following arcs (present arc in the English LN so far). I guess as you said, my use of the word “skipped” is a bit too strong, “rearranged” would have been more appropriate.

 

[Junomano]

It has been some time since I read that, but wasn't it a draw? Like they could both keep fighting but they stopped because the loli was just testing him?

Also, I don't think he is going to win against the old man wizard guy, my guess it that they are going to draw too, if he wins then it could discourage people from learning magic at all tho.

yes it was pretty much a stalemate between them, she probably though she would win while testing him but in the end she couldn't, i would say that they are both the pineacle of their arts, they didn't even go all out

 

[Kevadu]

I hate hate hate this stupid "swords are so heavy I can barely lift them" trope in manga so much. It is so stupid. Swords are not heavy. They are light, nimble weapons that are balanced so that the center of mass is close to the grip and they can be maneuvered quickly.

Many historical military swords were less than a kilogram. If you can't lift a kilogram you should call a doctor.

 

[Plum34]

This is getting an anime, btw, which is airing this spring!!! 🥳🥳

 

[Uke17]

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

Long sticks can be wobbly because the centre of mass is often half a ruler's length or more out from the grip. Swords are specifically designed to have that centre of mass overlap the grip area by way of a tapered edge and (relatively) heavy pommel. There's zero reason why anybody would shake with a sword unless they were horrifically out of shape and couldn't even lift 2lbs, which is less than 25% of the weight and effort of lifting the arm itself.

 

[Sliiime]

About swords, 2 handed swords weigh around 1.1-1.5kg (around 2-3 pounds I guess ?).
It's not very comfortable to wield with one hand, but again, it's made for 2 hands.
Lifting a sword with 2 hands over your head is very easy, swords are balanced around the guard, so I'd say it's "lighter" than lifting a milk bottle over your head with one hand, as the sword's weight is split between your hands.

I'm sure kids cound lift those swords (well, not use them properly tho lol).

One a side note, the "good" length for a 2 handed "standard" sword is "ground-to-armpit" length (the pommel should be at your armpit, and the tip of the blade should touch the ground

We gotta see that fight!!! I wanna see that fight!!!

 

[letmereadmangas]

Old man got fired up XD

i already see it coming that the old man will ask beryl to become his sword teacher...

how difficult is it doing minute adjustments with the sword raised above your head, not just holding it in place? tho that's cool to hear about

 

[Lame_Security]

Old man fight

 

[Claith]

It's pure pro-wrestling booking. You have a guy that's your standard of strength (Beryl), so when you introduce a new character, you book them against the standard to showcase where they lie in comparison to the standard.

I fall back to describing it as "The Worf" from Star Trek. Being the warrior of the crew, when ever a character shows up and they want them to be powerful and threatening, they beat Worf in combat, so the show's audience knows he is a serious threat.
