What They Say
It’s time for the main event of the school festival: the Magic Research Battle! All of Trinity Seven (plus Arata) are arming themselves for battle against tough opponents from the rival Royal Magical Academies, but first, they’ll have to face…each other?! It’s a knock-down, drag-out fight to the finish with only one team left standing!
Content: (please note that content portions of this review contains spoilers):
Coming off the last volume, this series has entered full harem mode not that every girl in Trinity Seven has some sort of feelings towards Arata. But, we all knew that would happen eventually, so it’s time to just enjoy the ride.
While this story is a magic school, it is still a school and ever school story needs its festival story. However, these kids don’t have a regular old sports festival. They bring together all the different magic schools to one campus for a week of lectures from students that culminated in the magical battle competition. Since this year Arata’s school is hosting the festival, it will be the Trinity seven split into teams of two that kick off competition. Once all those teams have battled, they will then battle the best team from the other schools.
Should all be fun and games, but things get complicated when the best team from Liber Academy has Arata’s cousin, Hijiri, on the team. To double the trouble, the team from Royal Akasha Academy has a mysterious girl that might be the saint prophesized to destroy demon candidates. In other words, the spell caster powerful enough to destroy Arata before he can become the Demon Lord and destroy the world. Add a surprise resurrection for a dead character and this volume is full of shocking story revelations!
In Summary
I thought I had figured out the author’s story formula and could guess how the school’s magic battles during their festival would go. So halfway through this volume, I was getting a little bored. But amazingly, the author threw a huge monkey wrench into the storyline and it snapped me right back into the story. It was such a shock that I had to know what would happen next. Thus, this is a good volume that did manage to stick to standard storytelling by leaving this volume in a cliffhanger. Readers will just have to wait until the next volume to see how the drama sorts out. Even if I do still feel that all the magic terminology drags on the story, I’m pleased with this series ability to throw in some excitement in unexpected ways.
