Oh man, I am happy that this is getting more attention, but sad that we won't have more fan translation, at least if anyone doesn't do it, but it is what it is.

But truth be told... I don't like the "official" translation, I mean... Agothe, seriously?

Anyway, cool chapter, thanks for your work in this series.

Qifrey, shows why he is boss XD.

Old fart couldn't even own to the fact that he was doing evil to help himself.

A shame about the localization.
As someone who has a bit of knowledge about the medical industry in the US, I can see where the former Sage's feelings are coming from. After untold years of peace, a lack of needing to confront death and face up to the mortality of humanity, nobody understands what it means to be mortal. Miracles (technological or magical) are everywhere! Nobody should die because that's the end which can't be fixed.
All the other arguments against it (no dignity when stuck for decades on a bed with a tube down the throat, no quality of life for a 96 year old going through a surgical operation to remove tumors, no humanity for someone who'd unleash a giant leech on a city to live longer) don't register because death is, to The Society, the worst imaginable fate because it can't be undone.
All the power and miracles at hand, and people are still unable to get past their fear, unable to confront their cowardice, unable to accept the natural order of life.

thanks for all your hard work on this series. it's a shame that manga is, like western TV, getting harder to get "all in one place" because everyone's launching their own platforms. it makes business sense, but, it's frustrating for readers.

Not only that, but K Manga, specifically, is only available in the US. Those of us who live elsewhere will have to either wait for local publishers, use VPN... or piracy.

Thanks for all your work on the past chapters Project Vinland , and /a/ scans before you. :salute: I'm gonna miss the scanlation scene for this manga, but here's hoping for the best.
Qifrey... wow man, you really popped off this chapter. Battle magic... this is such a normally cheery and kind hearted series, so getting to see stuff like this is pretty awe inspiring. It's nice to see Qifrey being a badass role model for his students. I'm sure that somewhere down the line, a compromise between the two ideologies will be reached, I can only hope the path to a saner world won't be paved with too much blood, though the brimhats are making that more of a pipe dream every day.

Sucks when actually good scanlations drop stuff just because there's an official translation even if that official one is crap. I get the code of honor thing but like... Cmon
Luckily that's not the case here as the official translations are wonderful.

It's never about which is a better translation but who releases first, which is why everyone cries about chapter "sniping" despite the quality of the faster releases. Scanlators can't compete with official translations that will get copies in advance so it's better to just leave the race.

Yeah, I've bought some of the official releases before, and I just prefer these TLs more. Still, this is only a good thing for witch hat.

Qifrey being based, it did seem weird how slow his casting was for a water specialist.
