Would you question someone who can kill you with a simple snap of a finger?

Most people in Mahouka has a very strong sense of preservation. I think they would avoid messing with someone called the Demon of the Far East.

I'd assume that the other families know that the Yotsuba select their heir based on ability rather than lineage, so they'd probably just think that Miyuki is a more talented magician than Tatsuya.

Nobody dare ask Maya anything like that, don't forget Yotsuba is the most shrouded in secrecy.

But you have to admit, hailing Tatsuya as her son and yet not naming him as her heir, that should make them suspect that something is amiss. Though they would be cautious in calling her out on it.

Not really that weird? Considering Maya's twin sister's child is named as the next heir. There's no reason to believe Maya is that much superior to Miya that Tatsuya is sure to be heir over Miyuki. Do remember other clans in general don't know Tats is Taurus Silver or a Strategic Magician.

My ordeal for now...

Why is the author keep on pushing Misaki to Miyuki? With volume 18 cover i dont know why he keeps on doing that, it just sound so forced for unknown reasons.

Koichi doesnt have any shame, after learning Tatsuya is the son of Maya, he considers giving one of her daughters to his enemy he cant even move on. Saying its because of genetiv reasons or more powerful magicians for the future doesnt sound that good, he could have set his daughters to Misaki.

since the Shiba siblings are out as Yotsuba, their "mothers" are revealed but did anyone actually cared about the father? If Tatsurou was revealed to be their father wouldnt that link FLT is related to Yotsuba?

Volume 18 still wont cover their last 9SC I guess since it would be focused on Misaki getting Miyuki and the latter rejecting the former.

But if 9SC will be covered in Volume 18, there would be a chance that the Kuroba siblings will face Miyuki in a game right? It would be epic.

This is just random but did anyone actually realize how powerful Miyuki is with cocytus?
Is mental interference magic that unique to Yotsuba?


Urgh... Its nearing the end of October and no spoilers yet for volume 18.

Not at all. First one's always the hardest to let go, but remember it's really his dad pushing him into this. It's nothing to complain about either. Many of my kind are eagerly waiting to see the turd let down hard.

The identity of Tatsuya's father is a personal matter. Not something she's required to divulge.

The next 9SC should be in the third year and the current arc is still in the 2nd year.

Spoilers for Vol 18 should be out few days before release date.

Speaking of which, the Ten MCs did take issue on Tatsuya's victory over Masaki in the 9SC Competition. Now that Tatsuya has been revealed as a Yotsuba, and officially , Maya Yotsuba's son no less, Tatsuya's victory probably, on hindsight was not surprising.

They will be more surprised if they know Tatsuya is a Silver

[Echizen777]

The main event is supposed to be the Tatsuya, Masaki, Katsuto and possibly Mayumi hunting Jiedo. I can see Masaki talking with Miyuki in the first chapters but it should not be too long. As for the 9SC it can't possibly start before vol 21, with vol 20 as the introduction of the 3rd year.

That's if they don't take their time like for volume 17.

bah... is it only me that thinks that mahouka plot get stupidier and stupidier?
i mean if the 10 families specialise in diferent types of magic how can it make sense for them to marry each other frequently? it would simply dilute their specialized magic power and make them worse at their familly special magic...
then how can ppl be loyal to their new familly when they were raised by rivals? they won t ever put their new familly first... how can ppl from the new familly believe in the loyalty of the new members? they could simply be there spying...
marriage between the 10 famillies would simply destroy the boundaries between them and their specific magic... it doesn t make sense!
what should happen is they marrying ppl with genetics and magic compatible with their familly type of magic so that they can grow stronger and execute even more powerful magic related with their familly magic (like tats and miyuki)
this whole marriage probs in the current vols are simply ill conceived like the plots from the previous vols. since this stoped being a web novel the story just keeps getting worse

[bietchie11]

Well, that's how big families control each others. Learnt frim real life Chinese clans.

I think you just don't understand Asian culture, but I get what you're saying because I was skeptical, too. But it's a fact that stuff like this happened all the time in the past and even today.

For instance, in feudal Japan, Oichi sided with her husband, Azai, when he became Nobunaga's enemy.

they're called political marriages for a reason. The weaker families in the 10MC have to form alliances in order to be able to compete with the Yotsuba and Saegusa. There are plenty of real world examples of arranged marriages between royal families of different countries in order to secure treaties and prevent war.

There's nothing stupid in this, they do so to have strong descendants to keep the level of magicians high. Where has it even been said that their specialized magic get diluted? It's not been explained how the innate magic of the offspring is decided but so far, characters from a certain clan all have the innate magic fitting their names. Arranged marriage is common in Japan and it's the reason why their magicians are more gifted than in all the countries. In the end all clans think about their own interest but the 28 families and the 10MC system is an alliance.
