Original Title : 落第騎士の英雄譚
Alternative Title: Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan/ Tale of Worst One/ The Chivalry of a Failed Knight
Author : Tao Noritake (田尾典丈)
Manga Artist : Soramichi Megumu
Novel Illustrator : Won (をん)
Publisher : GA Bunko
Status for Novel : 4 on-going


In an era where one’s soul can be morphed into a weapon, there are modern day magicians called ‘Mage-knights’. Kurogane Ikki, labelled as the <Failure Knight/Worst One> is a student with particularly no talent in magic attends an institution that trains Mage-knights. Getting way less than average marks in the scorings, he was forced to repeat a year. But with the arrival of a new chairman (or was it principle?) of the institution, a new rule was created, that compatible knights (ability wise) decided by the board must share rooms and attend practice/training together throughout the school years to bring up their abilities to the max. A rule to implement the absolute verdict of ability.

By a weird (or rather expectable) turn of events, Ikki’s roommate turns out to be a princess of another foreign country called Stella Vermillion. Stella is a <Rank A> knight and a genius in magic who is said to only appear in a decade. ‘Walking in on her’ while she was changing her clothes caused a huge misunderstanding (since none of the sides yet knew of the new rule) which eventually ended up in a duel between the two of them. The punishment (or rather, the prize) of the loosing side is ‘Eternal Submission’ to the winning side.

The story centers around Stella and Ikki’s cohabitation. Developments and failures, all the while their relationship turns sweeter and sweeter.

Its about as clichéd as it gets. its Gakuen Toshi Asterik all over again mixed with STnBD
1. Red-headed lead who gets in an awkward situation with MC challenges MC to a duel
2. Most believe red head will easily win but its not quite true.
3. MC is actually very strong and beats MC
Later on I bet girls will flock to MC as well and that creates the harem.

For the time being, I already have Madan and Gakusen which I translate. And I said that my limit is three series. So I'm looking for another serie to translate. There are already two propositions. Regarding that, look for the details in my blog (http://setsuna86blog.wordpress.com).

Is that supposed to be impressive? The limited is a real turn off.

First chapter's out!

Protagonist looks good. He walks in on the heroine naked and DOES NOT have the "usual" reaction like most harem MCs. Instead, he decides to get naked too for the sake of fairness. No blushing, thank God.

Well, he needs some kind of disadvantage.

That said, all it does is give him the ability to damage people whose aura is too high for his normal strength. He actually beat her by using her own sword skills against her, but couldn't slice through her shield.

According to the spoilers on BT, it seems his family has been pulling strings to make sure he fails. This implies that he would have graduated even with his poor magic skills.

Probably because every harem ln has the same font

and the same cover

and the same story

and the same characters


The last two are untrue in some cases.

But yeah harem ln have lots of similarities in how they style their cover

or just most ln's in general

Btw, why is this LN under harem genre?
Even though this has multiple girls, its not a harem but a romance between the protagonist(Ikki) and Stellar. The story focuses in the development of the couple's relation.

Edit:
The series sold 250,000 copies already with the release of volume 4(released in 15/3/14). So basically 60,000+ each volume. That's quite a high sales for a new LN series. So the announcement for the anime adaptation will be coming out(probably around the release of v5 or v6).

SineMora
2014-04-16, 09:11
No wonder why they'll end up together:

Stella hates anyone who is weak and gives up easily just because their opponent is a genius, Ikki on the other hand is the weakest with the "NEVER-GONNA-FUCKING-GIVE-UP" attitude so big, his family, the reason for all the shit he'd been through, can only slow him down, but not stop him, so he scores big time on that one...

Thanks for the heads up!

The chapter needs some editing, but the translator didn't have one on hand. :heh:

It was pretty good so far. The chairman apparently goes by the name of World Clock, the former 3rd strongest in the world.

And Ikki defeated her with the use of his Ittou Shura. That's completely awesome. :D

Stella is disbelieving that Ikki is the weakest. She thinks that he's some type of ninja. :eyespin:

Also, it's confirmed. Ikki failed because the academy only tested magic and not martial arts.

We get more info on Stella's motivation in this as well, so we'll know a bit more about her.

You do realize that she is still a princess of a country, right ?
If he did anything stupid, he would have a whole country's military after him.
Not a problem. That princess is the main fighting force of that military - and she serves him now - and the country is small and poor enough to not even provide suitable lodgings for her.

I guess that why the princess work so hard to stand at where she is now, for her country. A non-spoiled but a royal who actually do something, I like that trait.

If you looked at the color illustrations, you would know what she does to him; washing his back with the pretense of being his slave.

And she does it so forcefully, commanding him to sit down... not very slave-like, if you ask me.

Nope. Its still not a harem.
His crazy sister kissed him all of a sudden in their classroom.

Isn't it considered harem when there's 3 or more girls that are in love with the MC? Even if it focus more on the relationship of Ikki and Stella though.

An harem is considered an harem when there are 'harem antics'. Many girls liking a guy doesn't necessarily count; specially when there are cases when the rest of the girls just get shafted (which seems to be the case here so far).

Although Stella started with making Ikki an slave, in the end she was the one that wanted to be one hahaha :heh:. Stella showed to be an hiden pervert and likeable character in the end(M?). Ikki is really cool and badass, really liking the main pair so far.

I think that the author of this novel got his inspiration for the main heroine from Julis. Not that is a bad thing though. :)

Naw, I'm pretty sure she still has violent outbursts once in a while. Usually happens when the male MC is found in questionable positions. Maybe the author has been trying to tone it down a notch I guess.

The MC told the girl that he has a dream of his naked spirit( a girl), and Claire just blushed and said that's totally normal for a boy his age.
Anyway, I hope this novel will move from the usual school battle touranment to something more unique, we all ready got a lot of that these days.

You were not expecting her to start beating a memory-loss Kamito right? He was already wary of all people around him, any act of violence there could be disastrous. :uhoh: Besides, Claire herself have those ero-dreams a lot, she would not beat him just because he had one, it was more like she found a comrade.:heh:

That's fair enough then again the sefi kurou thing is odd. They are childhood friends and seemingly rivals but she definitely likes kurou (not the swordsmanship which she likes also) but the person

Only problem I can see with this story is I don't see how the MC can get stronger. Being outmatched is fine, but this is just ridiculous. His limit removal should be an ace in the hole, not a necessary power just for him to deal damage. He needs a raise in his base power somehow.

Other than that, we have an awesome MC who isn't wangsting about his crappy childhood, and an interesting heroine. I like the rest:).

Well, he probably can't get any stronger, he is hard locked by his physical abilities.

That still means he is the perfect companion for Stella, as he is an expert on defense, and would be the perfect person to cover her back.

It does make me wonder how the other chapters will read, but from what has been spoiled it seems that Stella has already claimed/identified him as future husband.

Both for Ikki and Stella. Too many gals around Ikki will just be another excuse to add harem-ness in it so balance out with gals and boys who want Ikki and Stella respectively.

Just in case, lil sister is spelled as "imouto" not "imotou".

A bit of spoiler about vol 1 , i may make some mistakes or misunderstand because i only learn japanese for 2 years so .....
Edit : yep , major mistake , silly me , well , sorry about that =.=
chapter 1 is just like in manga .

In chapter 2 , a Kouhai name Kagami is introduced who claim herself to be Ikki number 1`fan and clinging to Ikki , uh oh , 1st NTR flag , to make thing worse , his sister who last met 4 year ago also appeared and kiss Ikki right off the bat and babbling all sort of talk that only your craziest imoto can think ( like want to do *it* that worth 4 years of waiting , wth )

But Stella just has to barge in and told Shiziku ( Ikki little sister ) that Ikki is her master and roommate .

Yandere flag pop out , kill kill kill .
And Ikki is now go with nickname Siscon , hentai , most likely used by Stella

However , at the end of chapter , Stella offered to wash his back ( swimsuit put on , too bad ) and while she is at it , she asked if Ikki like breast , our MC became a real man and said Yes , 1 point from me dude , And Stella hugs him from behind silently , don't talk son , don't talk .

Chapter 3 , Shiziku and her roommate name Alice begin their plan , Oniisama 's date , Stuffs happen , like how our little imoto want ikki and Stella ( yah , 3 ppl date , seems Stella want to make sure that the Siscon doesn't do anything...weird ) to watch * I made love with my sister , R-15 * .

Time for bad guys to appear , a terrorist group named " the liberation army " just have to crash the date , Ikki was separated from the group after an explosion and the girls were kidnapped . However , a mysterious guy go with the name Shadow offered his help and the duo infiltrate the Terrorist 's base using that guy ability to conceal themselves .

Meanwhile the terrorist leader who also a lolicon pervert name Bijou toying with our girls and managed to beat Stella with his device Charge mental plus Shizuku as his hostage . He demands Stella to strip , grrr , unforgivable .

Too bad for the pervert , Ikki slashed him , but the one who finish him off is the mysterious guy .

Turn out he is from the same school and an ex-representative , but now a bastard who threaten our MC with some sorts of scandal plus challenge him to a mock battle , the prize is Stella , NTR flag again .

Chapter 4 , back to school , The mock battle begin and the bastard utilizes a skill called Hollowed world which conceal the caster and his attack , what a bastard .

Some F-rank can not win 's craps

But our Stella has to convince our MC that Rank have nothing to do with it and CONFESS TO HIM , yah , you surely better than most Tsundere out there .

With that , Ikki finally has resolve to fight . My weakest will defeat your strongest , and crush the spell , the bastard drop their jaw , oh yeah , crushed like a bug .


At the end of the day , Ikki returns to the dorm and finds Stella , he wants to tell her something .

Such vanilla , much HNNNNNNG .
"It's a promise."

May the couple will be happy together , no matter how many NTR flags they must face .

Time for bad guys to appear , an assassin name Bijou (could use a correction in here ) and Alice , yep , the traitor . Alice separate Ikki from the group ( come with a revelation ) , while the pervert Bijou after the girls and defeat Stella using a device call Charge mentoring ( againt i don't know what to call it >.< ) and orders her to strip , 2nd NTR flag pop out , but Ikki crushes it and the bad guys do what they do best , We will be back !

Chapter 3 , back to school , bad guys return and hell , this time the school director is also the bad guy , wth , and they use a dirty trick , a magic spell name hollowed area , which conceal the caster and force Ikki to fight 1 on 1 without any help.

Some F-rank can not win 's craps

But our Stella has to convince our MC that Rank have nothing to do with it and CONFESS TO HIM , yah , you surely better than most Tsundere out there .

With that , Ikki finally has resolve to fight . My weakest will defeat your strongest , and crush the spell , the bad guys drop their jaw and ran away . I still need to read again to understand what happen to the school Director .

Or may be it is some sorts of test for Ikki ?

At the end of the day , Ikki returns to the dorm and finds Stella , he wants to tell her something .

Such vanilla , much HNNNNNNG .

May the couple will be happy together , no matter how many NTR flags they must face .

However , at the end of chapter , Stella offered to wash his back ( swimsuit put on , too bad ) and while she is at it , she asked if Ikki like breast , our MC became a real man and said Yes , 1 point from me dude , And Stella hugs him from behind silently , don't talk son , don't talk .

Chapter 3 , Shiziku and her maid? ( heck i don't know what to call ) name Alice begin their plan , Oniisama 's date , Stuffs happen , like how our little imoto want ikki and Stella ( yah , 3 ppl date , seems Stella want to make sure that the Siscon doesn't do anything...weird ) to watch * I made love with my sister , R-15 * .

Time for bad guys to appear , an assassin name Bijou (could use a correction in here ) and Alice , yep , the traitor . Alice separate Ikki from the group ( come with a revelation ) , while the pervert Bijou after the girls and defeat Stella using a device call Charge mentoring ( againt i don't know what to call it >.< ) and orders her to strip , 2nd NTR flag pop out , but Ikki crushes it and the bad guys do what they do best , We will be back !

Chapter 3 , back to school , bad guys return and hell , this time the school director is also the bad guy , wth , and they use a dirty trick , a magic spell name hollowed area , which conceal the caster and force Ikki to fight 1 on 1 without any help.

Some F-rank can not win 's craps

But our Stella has to convince our MC that Rank have nothing to do with it and CONFESS TO HIM , yah , you surely better than most Tsundere out there .

With that , Ikki finally has resolve to fight . My weakest will defeat your strongest , and crush the spell , the bad guys drop their jaw and ran away . I still need to read again to understand what happen to the school Director .

Or may be it is some sorts of test for Ikki ?

At the end of the day , Ikki returns to the dorm and finds Stella , he wants to tell her something .

Such vanilla , much HNNNNNNG .
"It's a promise."

May the couple will be happy together , no matter how many NTR flags they must face .

Some things different from what I have read.
Arisuin is Shizuku's roommate and another first year. Kirihara<hunter> finished off the terrorist group and wanted Stella as his girlfriend. Naturally Ikki refused and Kirihara challenged him to a fight and Ikki accepted, if he wins he will stop asking Stella? Kirihara was a representative of the previous 7 swords festival so it is natural he is strong and Ikki has never beat him before. The chairman IS NOT the bad guy, she obviously allies with Ikki. I think she made it so those two will fight in Ikki's first match for the representative spot. Kirihara's ability conceals the casters and he shoots arrows but this time, he improved from the last 7 swords festival and could also shoot invisible arrows, which Ikki couldn't track at all. Ikki beats him, and promised Stella that they will reach the end of the 7 swords festival and fight each other. They become a couple.

So this is a ln where the mc powers grow up regularly or the mc is already at his best and at most we see some minor improvements once in a while?

This is what I want to know as well. Right now I can see him picking up some tricks and experience, but I don't see any areas for major improvement. That seems a little boring, so can someone who has read the raw tell us if he gets stronger or not?

I don't think he can get any stronger , the underdog theme is strong with this one .

Also the power creep problem , Bleach for example , in which the power creep have back fired to the author .

But hopefully Ikki will get stronger and may be someday he can steal other Element .

Also , his blade steal ability is quite something...
It is not just a cheap trick that involved watching other 's attack and then quickly make a counter base on their attack , Ikki just only need to watch how they hold their blade and their stance to understand their sword art to the core and master it within a few minute, truly a genius .

And how he defeats the ex-representative in vol 1.
watching footsteps , based on their distance he can guess when the attacker stop and readying their bow , the moment the bastard draw his bow , it is already over .

Ironically, Stella has more to gain from this then Ikki. He may show character growth through the series, but unless he somehow unlocks a way to increase his mana capacity, he will only get minor upgrades to his current abilites.

Stella, due to her mana capacity, along with learning from Ikki's routine and working with him will likely gain much more from cohabitating with each other.

Of course it could be argued that regardless of gaining the lost in a fighting perspective, Ikki wins over-all since he gets Stella, a once in a generation talent with drive to match, as his wife.

Well Stella has much more room to grow no doubt, but instead she will go a long way towards fixing some of Ikki's emotional problems instead. He has done great job of shrugging it off so far, but his family's pettiness seems to have kind of worn him down.

The eraser thing is so superhuman its not even funny, and Ikki just passes it off as nothing. Seriously, its a damn tragedy that he wasn't born with even an average level of mana....

Then again, he might not have had the motivation to train to those heights in that situation. It could've been worse.

Hmmm, I've just been flipping through "Arifureta Shoukugyou de Sekai Saikyou"; the main character is arguably pretty badass too.

Readers even get treated to...graphic explanations of how he gets that way.

He even kind of gets the same result: one consistent girlfriend-lover-something who effectively manages to shaft everyone else. A 'Final Boss' on the road to the harem (which, oh sweet anime lords, doesn't exist yet in this story - down with the harem, up with the OTP. Hell, I'll even take the shuraba if we really must share!), so to speak.

Guessed as much. It's probably got something to do with the fact that 'doubling his physical ability' is his magical trump - in all likelihood increasing his physical ability allows him to keep himself going longer in his 'mental barrier break' state. Let's see how that translation goes though before we start de speculah :D

No , she didn't mention any of them in the memory .

If she did has 1 , she wouldn't act quite.....aggressively in vol 2 and vol 3 , and probably she would claim that she is Ikki 's girlfriend and Ikki would beat the crap out of any fiance .

Hmm , may be that will happen in the final volume .

So far only 3 vols , there will be more .
This serie may appeared to be a harem type but it is not .
Because the couple is already decided so they tend to get more screen times than other .

But indeed they will introduce more girls , for example in vol 2 we got a shy stalker type.......

Nope, Ayato gets an extension on his time limit near the end of vol 4to the point where he can fight an hour or so no problem. The seal isn't completely gone, but it is loosened.

Wrong thread.:heh:

Well , after 3 vols , i think he still stuck with 1 min limit ......

So far his mana is fixed, so if he uses all his mana in one go, the 1 min limit isn't going to change.
Maybe instead of using it all in one go, he can learn to use his maximum mana in spurts, like use ~5 seconds worth when attacking/evading, then return to his normal status. His overall time limit isn't changing, but it can allow him to pace himself in a fight.

Ikki's reaction should be priceless! If he was my father and he was on fire I wouldn't pee on him to put him out but let him burn.

No idea how many volumes but since the 7 swords festival did not occur yet, we can assume at least a couple more.
Ikki did not follow through. Their relationship did progress fast but I like that because now they have to go through challenges. For example the main antagonist of volume 3 was the ethics committee of the knight's association(I think Ikki's father is the leader, not sure). They have a picture of Stella kissing Ikki and things went bad from there since Stella is a princess of vermillion.

The other day i went to buy vol 4 in a large book store , it took me almost 15 mins searching the bookshelf again and again and found it put neatly inside the shelf , if you are someone who is looking for a new novel to read , you won't find this novel easily .

The other time i went to Akihabara , the Novel was put on top of the bookshelf out of my reach :( .

Meanwhile , other Novel like No game no life or Seikoku ryukishi is everywhere , i mean literally everywhere and they keep slamming into your eyes....

According to n0m@n:

Btw, why is this LN under harem genre?
Even though this has multiple girls, its not a harem but a romance between the protagonist(Ikki) and Stellar. The story focuses in the development of the couple's relation.

Edit:
The series sold 250,000 copies already with the release of volume 4(released in 15/3/14). So basically 60,000+ each volume. That's quite a high sales for a new LN series. So the announcement for the anime adaptation will be coming out(probably around the release of v5 or v6).

Wow Ikki's father is still trying to bone him using the ethics committee and everything! Why doesn't he just accept that Ikki has the potential to be the person with the best technique in the world and should be a mage knight but just lacks power? Doesn't Ikki's great grandfather tell the family to lay off after everything? Further more what does two people relationship have to do with them anyhow? Talk about a colossal waste of resources to stalk Ikki to take pictures like that. Wish Ikki would challenge his father to a due to the death and kill him already. How is the little sister taking thier relationship? Are other women still after Ikki?
