God, I really can't wait another whole month for this. There's so much material to cover and we get 25 pages every 30 days. If at least the page count was much higher I might be able to wait, after all weekly releases would be incredibly taxing to the mangaka. But at this point I'm sitting here praying that each conversation they start will get wrapped up before the chapter ends.
Anyway, about the chapter. I'm really wondering if these people have anything to teach Makoto. I mean don't get me wrong, he doesn't know any spells, and he lacks a theoretical understanding of magic that would let him release mana at higher speeds and greater volume but... Aren't these things that the Shiki and the orc priestess could teach him? I'm ok with him going to Magic High School or whatever, because at this point this is unavoidable. However, I really want Makoto to get useful information here, and get actual access to their libraries or something and learn some shit. I couldn't tolerate it if he has to scrape through battles anymore.
Well to be fair, if he ends up as a teacher, that overrides my criticism, because he wouldn't be wasting his time learning the absolute basics alongside people who only know how to float 2 ft. off the ground and take an hour to cast a spell... he'd be forced to teach them. In the interim, perhaps he could do self-study and try to get access to the info he needs.
