Chapter 23 PAGE 2 There wasn’t much that I knew about Through. But they were from Makoku and could use magic. And they belonged to the Grass Snakes, whose headquarters was in Makoku.

Chapter 22 PAGE 2 That night, I sensed a presence outside of my window. Someone was there. “…” I tried widening my senses from inside the room. I couldn’t hear anything, but there was definitely someone there. “Everyone is asleep.” The two second-years had fallen asleep before Ark finished talking. Perhaps they were…
Chapter 21 PAGE 2 “During an age when Ryukoku was much poorer than it is now, the country fought not only against the Moon Beasts, but also Makoku…” Ark talked as if he was remembering it himself. “Uh, how long ago are we talking about?” “Hundreds of years ago.” He wasn’t even born yet.…
Chapter 20 PAGE 2 The day after Ark came, the second year students returned from their training. Some of them were in pretty bad shape. Well, their faces, anyway. Not that they were hideous, or anything. They just looked tired. The dormitory became very noisy all at once. I could hear voices…
Kapricorn Shteiner PAGE 2 “Good work.” “Ah, that was fun.” Daniela said as she returned. As for Neyti, it was as if the ghost that had been haunting him was gone. He seemed refreshed. “Miss Daniela. Thanks to you, I feel a renewed sense of purpose.” “That’s nice. Well, it’s my turn now.”…
Chapter 19 PAGE 2 “You do know that there are dragons of different sizes?” “Yeah, of course.” “Large, medium and small. It is said that no students will get a large dragon this year.” “Really? I thought no one knew which dragons they will get? Even if larger dragons are rare, how can…

Chapter 18 PAGE 2 Three days had passed since I started working at the bakery. Every morning, I would travel through the underground waterway and visit the Fluffy Bouloire in order to help with the bread. I avoided the surface. It was a hassle to go around the training grounds, and it took too…
Chapter 17 PAGE 2 “Well met, Young Leon. How’s the Royal Capital been treating you this time, eh?” The man who sat in front of me with a big grin and looking very portly, was Mister Rob. He was the owner of ‘Fluffy Bouloire.’ “The Dragon Master Grounds north of the castle was…
Rise of the Lucky Boy PAGE 2 Newt, the D-Ranker pyromancer. Baz, the man in the blue bandana with the underhanded tactics. I had assumed that Newt would make it a rather one-sided battle… I was wrong. Surprisingly, Baz showed that he could fight one on one as well. He was discerning enough to read…
Another World Dictionary PAGE 2 We were in Jeanne’s room. It was smaller than I was expecting. Apparently, Eve had tried to assign her a larger room, but Jeanne said that she found them unsettling. She didn’t have much in the way of clothes or hobbies. She just wanted a room to pray…
Chapter 16 PAGE 2 The morning came as I sat in the dormitory. I had finished my audience with the Queen last night. Safely…safely, I think? But there was no one there who could reassure me. At least, I had fulfilled my duty as a Shadow. While I was Her Majesty’s Right…
Chapter 15 PAGE 2 That day, the Queen’s Left Hands gathered together for an emergency meeting. Aside from four of them who were on the night watch, every Left Hand in the royal castle was to attend. There was only one subject. “Complete absolution has been granted to the Right Hand from Sol.…
