Second question. Mayumi isn't a sadist. By definition, a sadist is someone who derives enjoyment from the suffering of others, and Mayumi definitely isn't that. What makes Mayumi (and to a lesser extent Mari) tick is that they enjoy watching other people react/squirm to what they do. An example of this is in Chapter 5, where we are formally introduced to the VP Hanzou for the first time. He loathes being referred to by his name, preferring his family name. Yet Mayumi does it anyways, just to get a reaction out of him. She's more a tease than a sadist. Part of what makes Tatsuya frustrate and intrigue Mayumi and Mari is that he's, well, genre savvy. For certain reasons, he doesn't step in most pitfalls or word traps that are baited for him. (The ones he does end up stepping in turn into pure comedy gold.) And yes, the meeting between Mayumi and Tatsuya before the ceremony was deliberate on Mayumi's part. The test scores were only an introduction, one of the many red flags that Tatsuya is no normal Course 2 student. The jury is still out on whether or not the two of them were acquainted as children (my gut says yes, but there's no actual confirmation in the text), but there's a distinct feeling that Mayumi knows Tatsuya from somewhere else. |

^ no, Tatsuya asked her that because she acts differently toward him (while as for other people she acts all nice), she's showing her true self to Tatsuya.
Mayumi acts all natural to Tatsuya even though they're just met not so long ago. so he thought maybe she already know him before, hence the question. (Mayumi shows her true color only to people she regard highly enough, she considers Tatsuya are one of them) |

Generally, I don't post my first draft for translations piecemeal. The reason behind this is because I generally proofread and verify my own wording before submitting the material to BT. I know that there are editors who can do this for me, but I prefer to fix what errors I can catch myself before letting the general public at it. This way, if I can think of a better way to translate something 20-30 pages back, I can do it quickly and easily.

I am unsure they do. I don't really see why they would, though I guess they might have a general idea, since he can act completely rationally at all times. |

Congratulations on the chapter, and thanks for the good work. 100 pages is beastly. I'll say this in advance, though it will be a bit before you reach there, but good luck on chapter 4. That one is 124-ish pages? You should take your time with 2 and 3 since 4 is so long.

In term of thickness, 1 volume of mahouka is not that different from your average ln, although 1 arc usually take around 2 volumes. Horizon is just too abnormal. 1 volume of horizon is 3 times thicker than your average ln, and each arc in horizon took 2-3 such volumes.
