Spoiler for .:

The third one was a bit disappointing, I know the story is about the grandson, but still, since there are cases of badass grandpa & grandma in a lot of manga and novel, so ..

Well, the web novel only have 57 chapters so far, who knows in the future.

Thanks btw.

1. Will the mc friends become 'useful' later? Up to chapter 22, they seem to be just a tag along, contributing and doing basically nothing other than being amazed and conversation partner.
2. Is the relationship between Shin and Sicily developing later on? The author didn't give her much interaction with Shin so far (well, she only appears for 13 chapters, but still).
3. Will the grandpa and grandma ever fight later in the story?
4. Harem?

It'll be fine if you answer it with yes or no. Well, if you want to add more spice, it's fine too, as long as it's not too spicy.

Far from the latest chapter, but most of these questions are explained quite early.

Spoiler:

- The class has to do mandatory study groups to take their knowledge further; the MC becomes the leader of his group naturally since he is the school representative / best student. The group gets an embarrassing name in the lines of "super ultra amazing ultimate magic study" or something, and the topic is the MCs skills, meaning that everyone in his study group start using his custom magics.

- After being royaly teased and accused of homosexuality by his best friend fiance & the prince's imouto "Awawa! an adult relationship!" He realizes of all the "cowardly things" that he is doing in his "approaches" to Ceclily (like, he takes no risks and is afraid of doing anything until he is sure of success); he then confesses to her in an onsen around chapter 40. Pretty much almost every character so far was spying on them when it happened Cecily spilled tears of joy, since she thought that it was just a one sided infatuation from her with no future prospects from her perspective; we also learn that MC had actually "fell for her" at first sight (he used his monologue from that time to confess). When he confessed, he was teased that he set up a death flag by confessing before war

- Dunno about the gramps fighting, to the point I have read, the war hasn't broken out yet; but I'm betting they'll serve as advisors and will let MC's squad be the aces. The enemy is the magic race which recently destroyed an empire and is building up forces, basically a danger to the whole human race. The oldies are also acting as instructors for MC's squad.

- In most people eyes, The MC is surrounded by beauties that shower him with attention, but I'm not sure it's building up as an harem per se (most girls joke around that they can't stand the intense lovey-dovey aura that usually forms between Cecily and Shin). Time will tell? (I would like the blacksmith shota & chef girl childhood friend combo pairing up btw).

Spoiler for Some corrections:

First of all, who the heck is Will? The MC's name is Shin.

- The MC's study group is "Ultimate Magic Study Group." And he rather than teaching them his custom magics (since nobody can understand the scientific concepts even when he explains as simply as possible), he only teaches them the proper way to practice magic (no need for chant, controlling magic/mana is the most important thing) and that the mental image is what makes magic happen. Though of course he'll teach em how to use Gate at some point or another since one of the members really wants to learn it.

- Prince's imouto was being all flustered at how Shin and Sicily were being all flirty despite not even dating yet. Not at how Shin and the prince were getting along so well. As for the onsen, Sicily's family's territory is an onsen resort kind of area and they were staying at her family's mansion there during summer vacation for training camp. You got the death flag thing a bit wrong too. The prince said he urged Shin to get it over with now instead of later cause it seemed like Shin would be the type to say "let's get married after this war is over" which is a typical death flag. In other words, it was to avoid a death flag.

- The society in this world is monogamy, so harem is not a thing, even within nobility. Also, blacksmith kid's childhood friend girl is a the postergirl of the inn her family runs. Not a chief or whatever else it was you were saying she was.

On another note, I love the prince as a character. The sadisity is right in tune with me.

I somehow thought that the MC got called Will in the previous page and overloaded my poor little brain?

About the "chief", I was thinking on typing "chef" (she cooks right (or is expected to in the future)? I actually don't remmber it)....


...... I'll probably should stop posting after a stres inducing full nighter?

[arthand]

Another hax main character and a reincarnated one at that , i wonder where did i heard this before ?

[BakaRanger]

Edit:someone else already answered

……I think you should
full nighter is fine but while induced with stress? bed calls me~

[Kyureki]

Whee~ Fully caught up now and mai gash, I think I might get diabetes from the scenes of a certain bakcouple~ That girl is just moe incarnate at times. And I wonder what kind of thoughts gramps and grandma will have once the first volume of the new legend is published.

[El Rue]

Been reading through this...quite a fun read.

Sicily is very cute. Bakacouple, haha. Cheers for monogamy! It just seems so rare nowadays...

Prince can such a troll. Though also amusing when things turn against him (rare but satisfying).

His pals kept remarking how he keeps breaking the world's common sense but they end up like him in a way.

Funny how he dies a bit inside every time he hears their group name.

His lack of common sense usually leads to funny stuff though his reincarnation background is rarely used or addressed (well, his past knowledge justifies his effective & efficient magic methods). He must have been a lacking-common-sense-innocent guy even in his past life.


Currently in the chapters where Shin & his group fight off the majin guys as well as him trying to crush the stories to be told of his exploits (only to find out that publication has already started of his earlier ones). Just like Grandma & Grandpa...

Just wait til you see how his second name gets granted to him due to one of the tsukkomi he made.

[amatsunagi]

encore of their name all-night long. There's publication of the book as well, and I guess followed with theatrical drama.

[bludvein]

Not a particularly original or deep story, but an interesting light read nonetheless. The whole reincarnation angle could've been dropped in this story though. Honestly that's the most jarring thing because he actually acts age-appropriate most of the time. The only time it's even brought up is as an excuse to integrate some simple scientific concepts into his magic or use kanji in enchanting.

It would honestly flow better and be more believable if he was just a smart kid raised in a sheltered environment.
