Okiraku Ryoushu no Tanoshii Ryouchi Bouei - Ch. 33.2

[Quarterdane]

Pond's overpopulated.

Is that the fantasy equivalent of "pool's closed"?

 

[hullmat991]

"King of military"? Shouldn't that be "King of this country/kingdom"?

You expect a translation from Utoons without a mistake?! Their MTL bot isn't that good.

 

[Wildfire]

Cute little boy huffing and puffing and creating a royal heirloom.

What would be the best shape for a 95% antimagic material though? I'm sure small blades like knives would be high-quality, but it sounds like it'd be a waste. A spear to cut incoming spells at range? Or maybe a thin shield you can latch unto the front of a different shield?

Anyway, the biggest conceit of this story remains the fact that Van's family don't understand his power's value despite supposedly being a smart military family. It allows us to have a king freak out for fun though.

I really don't understand why he ended up with a sword, when he was just thinking of a soldier able t solo an army with a shield.
That kind of material should be made in to armor like a chainmail or something.

The last several chapters have repeatedly stated that Van has an absolutely insane mana pool. Normal people have neither the power nor the imagination/knowledge he does, leading normal people with the same magic barely being able to create anything, and one at a time at best. Meanwhile, Van is an entire R&D department and major manufacturing center in one.

You don't need to be imaginative to be incredibly important as a production mage, as long as you got the mana pool of Van.

Imagine mass producting medieval armor by the thousands. Creating a fortress over night. Creating windmills, water wheels and houses by the dozens.

All this is medieval and would not require imagination. Just need Van's mana pool.

Plus dwarves exist and orihalcum. A medieval mage could easily make a sword too, assuming he had Van's mana pool.

If Van had a mana pool of a standard mage, he would have to get creative with limited mana and make something powerful, small, and complex to compensate.

Like a gun.

Perhaps, though you'd think magic power level would also be something a military family checks.

Rather than "military", it kinda feels like Van comes from a family of musclehead warriors obsessed with DPS with their fixation on fire magic, which is VERY different from military.

They mentioned it a few chapters ago. There’s no way to actually test magic power directly. If you have an element based magic, then they’ll test what level of spell you can use but not so with production magic

 

[SlipTrick]

Oh, a smart, fairly all encompassing request there. Not only his dad, but the King himself wouldn't be able to force him to leave if he didn't want to with this. King seems likely to accept, too, given he's planning on sending his own people to learn earlier instead of just taking Van.

 

[AnotherDuck]

King seems likely to accept, too, given he's planning on sending his own people to learn earlier instead of just taking Van.

It's also a good move to get someone like that on his good side. Mistreated, he could rebel, and with his capabilities, that's not what you want.

 

[Romisterie]

He should not make impregnable even for him cause what if in future generations someone from inner circle conspired to usurp the city and the descendant would want it back.

 

[Aqua_Mizue]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[WereMuppet]

I know he's isekai'd, so it throws me off when he acts like an actual child. Playing with a new toy without paying any attention to any of the conversation going on around him.

That's because people get hung up on the knowledge and experience the isekaied person has but forgets that a big part of one's behaviour, thoughtprocesses, feelings, mood and reactions are influenced (or directly dictated) by hormones and brain chemistry and he's just an 8 year old child in that remark, he can offset some of it with the knowledge and experience of his former life but in the end, he is a child and will sometimes succumb to a childs lack of impulse control.

I've stated something like this before in other reincarnation isekai's:
(in most cases) A reincarnated person is kind of like a book smart child that has read a very detailed biography, their brain contains the knowledge of experiences, things and events but their current brain hasn't made the physical neural pathways (the way we store and connect experiences with feelings etc) that someone who actually was there would have made.
And then there's the effect of the "environment", growing up as a child in another world will probably further dull most former experiences and memories due to the formations of real and newer information neural pathways.

ie, he "knows" the things but his brain doesn't really know what feelings and reactions to connect them to since his current self hasn't experienced them

I'm in my 30s and still do it.

I'm in my 50s and doing it as well.

If I remember correctly, one of the earlier chapters Van himself notes that being in a child's body is affecting the way he thinks and acts, so you are right in your view of what is happening to him.

 

[Terluma]

In other words, official recognition of the village's independence from the kingdom. Well, that would be what I would have asked for if I were in his place.
