Bahamani Kingdom (13471527) The Bahmani Sultanate or Bahmanid Empire was a Muslim state of the Deccan in southern India
and was one of the great medieval Indian kingdoms. It was North Deccan region to the river Krishna. According to some Muslim historian a rebel chieftain of Saulatabad (an area around Ellora), was under Muhammad Bin Tughalaq. The sultanate was founded on 3rd of August 1347 by the Turkish Governor Ala-ud-Din Hassan Bahman Shah/ Hasan Gangu/ Allauddin Hassan, possibly of Tajik-Persian descent, who revolted against the Sultan of Delhi, Muhammad bin Tughluq. Nazir uddin Ismail Shah who had revolted against the Delhi sultanate stepped down on that day in favour of Zafar Khan/ Hassan Gangu who ascended the throne with the title of Alauddin Bahman Shah. His revolt was successful, and he established an independent state on the Deccan, including parts of present day Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh within the Delhi Sultanate's southern provinces. The Bahmani contested the control of the Deccan with the Hindu Vijayanagara Empire to the south. The Bahmani capital was Ahsanabad (Gulbarga) between 1347 and 1425 when it was moved to Muhammadabad (Bidar). The sultanate reached the peak of its power during the vizierate (14661481) of Mahmud Gawan. About eighteen kings ruled during the nearly 200 years. After 1518 the kingdom got divided into four smaller ones like Barishahi (Bidar), Kutbshahi (of Golkonda), Adamshahi( of Ahmadnagar), and Adilshahi (of Bijapur), known collectively as the Deccan sultanates.
Bahamani Dynesty of Deccan History of Bahamani Kingdom : Allauddin Hassan, a man of humble origin assumed the name of Gangu Bahamani in memory of his patron, a brahmin. Hasan Gangu declared the founder of the Bahamani Dynasty and ruled it under the title of Bahaman Shah. Bahamani was in constant war
with south, kingdom of Vijaynagar. Firuz Shah Bahamani left his remarkable foot prints over the Bahamani history. He was a learned man and having knowledge of many religions and natural science. He always wanted to develop the Deccan region as the cultural hub of India. He waged three battles against Vijaynagar Empire, and also extended his territories of Warangal. He gave up his kingdom and throne to his brother Ahmed shah I. Agriculture was the main economic activity of Bahamani kingdom for earning the main revenue of the state. The nobles in the Bahamani Kingdom were classified into two categories, Deccanis (old comers) and the Afaquis (new comers). They were always having problem of difference of opinion. Mahmud Gawan was a minister in Bahamani Empire who expanded and extended the Bahamani Kingdom rapidly. He was categorized as Afaqui and hence it was difficult for him to win the trust and confidence of the Deccanis. He was executed at the age of seventy by Muhammad Shah of Deccan in the year 1482 for his policy which made matters worse in Deccanis and Afaquis. Culture of Bahamani : The Bahamani kingdom flourished in architectural monuments. In the field of architecture, the Bahamanis paved way for the distinct style by inviting architects from Persia, Turkey, and Arabia and blended it with local styles. The culture that developed during this time was a blend of both north and south styles and also had its own distinct styles. Gumbaz (the largest dome in the world) and Charminar located at Hyderabad are the world famous examples of Bahamani architecture. The Bahanamis of Deccan left an important heritage of Indo-Islamic art, language, and spread of Islamic tradition in South India. Hazrat Banda Nawaz (1321 - 1422 CE) the great Sufi saint was patronized by the Bahamani kings and his Dargah of Gulbarga is a place of pilgrimage for Hindus and Muslims alike. Mahmud Gawan arrived in Bidarfrom Persia in 1453. A great scholar of Islamic lore, he founded the Madarassa (institution) from his own funds on the line of universities of Samarkhand and Khorasan. A selefless worker, he became a primeminister of Bahamani king Mahmud III (1462- 82) whom he tutored in earlier days. But Gawan became a victim of the palace intrigue and was beheaded by the drunkern king. The later kings of the Bahamani dynasty were too weak to keep the kingdom in tact, and this led to the breakup

Sayeed said... Well researched and equally very well compiled article on the history of Bahmani Kingdom. Except a few typo errors and missing photographs of the monuments of this period. I belong to Gulbarga and have created a site - www.gulbargs.com for
it. I can provide photos and even have coins of Bahmani Kingdom if somebody wishes to see.
Background [Bidar]
1318 A.D Badarkot (Bidar) and other places were occupied by Khusrau Khan 1320 A.D Kakatiya pratap rudra reoccupied Badarkot and other places. 1322 A.D Bidar Town which was on the frontier of Telingana and Baswakalyan forts were taken by Ulugh Khan(Muhammad-Bin-Tughluq) who was then a prince. The town and fort were left incharge of trust worthy officers with strong garrison. 1336 A.D The Vijaynagara empire founded. 1341 A.D Muhammad Bin Tughluq honoured Shihab-Ud-Din of Multan with the litle Nusrat Khan and conferred on him the Government of Bidar( One of the aqlims or provinces) with its dependencies on the condition that he should pay a revenue of one Crore of rupees annually into the kings treasury. 1345 A.D As Nusrat Khan could not fulfil the condition, he was expelled. Sadah Amirs (who were revenue collectors as well as military commanders under Mohd. Tughluq) rebelled. They elected one of their members Ismail Mukh as the sultan of Deccan. As he was aged, he readily abdicated his charge in favour of Hasan Gangu. 3rd August 1347 Zafar Khan (Hasan Gangu) was crowned and assumed the title of AlaUd-Din Hasan Bahman Shah at Daulatabad.
Formation of Bahamani Kingdom
In A.D.1347 an independent Muslim State, the Bahmani kingdom was established in south India by Alla-ud-din Hasan Gangu who revolted against the Delhi Sultanate. On 3rd August 1347, Zafar Khan (Hasan Gangu) was crowned and assumed the title of AlaUd-Din Hasan Bahman Shah at Daulatabad. He waged wars to annexe the two neighbouring Hindu kingdoms, Warangal, under the Musunuri Nayakas, and Vijayanagar, which was under the Rayas. He occupied the area up to the river Tungabhadra in A.D.1358, and shifted his capital from Daulatabad to Gulbarga. The Hindu rulers, reoccupied their some territories during the period between A.D.1358--75. Harihara Raya II of Vijayanagar conquered many areas which were under the Bahmanis during the period of Muhammad Shah II (A.D.1378-1397). The successors of Muhammad Shah II also waged wars against Rays. But they were defeated by the Vijayanagar armies. During the reign of Muhammad III (A.D.1463--82), the Bahmanis, for the first time, extended their empire from west coast to east coast, sea to sea.
Formation of Five Independent Bahamani States
By the end of the 15th century the Bahmani rule was plagued with faction fights and there came into existence the five Shahi kingdoms. There are the Nizamshahis of Ahmadnagar, the Adilshahis of Bijapur, the Imadshahis of Berar, the Qutbshahis of Golconda and the Baridshahis of Bidar[Mahabubnagar]. Thereafter, the rule of the Bahmani dynasty came to an end in A.D.1527.

"The best one yet," claims New York's Will Skudin. The 8th Annual NY Surf Week dedicated to George "Geeza" Gieser went off with a bang. A small groundswell all week set the tone for another jam-packed week of events. Skate contests, Vending Village, movie nights, parties and more fills the town of Long Beach, New York every year in memory of Geeza and this year was the biggest in attendance in 7 years thanks to the help form our sponsors: Yeti Coolers, Honest Tea, Essentia Water, La Colombe, Teton Gravity Research, Outside TV, Clif Bar & Skudin Surf . Not only do we know George was smiling down on us, but once again he sent us waves.
"The skateboard competition was next level this year," explains director Brian Adamkiewicz. Kids and adults alike were launching themselves onto the podium, literally. Held at the Long Beach Recreation Center we had sunny skies, more than eighty competitors, a Stoke Mobile/Teton Gravity research van, and $1K in cash prizes, trophies and giveaways. We started off with our street contest. Kids from age 5-18 competed for the 1st place prize with Tim drake from Bethpage taking home 1st place with a notable backside 180 over the quarter pipe and just edging out local shredder Oscar Johnson who had extremely consistent lines around the park.
Adult street's 2016 1st place winner Brandon Johnson from the Bronx won Best Trick, landing a backside 360 nose grab from the quarter pipe over the grass all the way to the wooden boardwalk. Tyler Collins took 1st with a huge frontside flip over the A-frame rail. Nico Ramos took 2nd place with the most consistent runs in his heats and late frontside shuvit down the 4 blocks. T.J Higgins took 3rd with frontside feebles and a frontside overcook. Tyler Collins skated the best that day and took home the 1st place cash prize from the Bowl jam as well. Frontside flipping over the copping landing on his bolts in the 6ft deep end of the bowl is what made him $400.00 richer that day. 2nd place was Nick McDonough with super technical variations and a mid run rock to fake-kick flip out.
The best surfers in NY traded off air for air in the first ever NYSEA Expression Session. A new addition this year's events thanks to one of our main sponsors, Yeti coolers. Local Pro TJ Gumiela and visiting Pro Logan Hayes went home with the cash.
After all the fun during the day, the nights were almost as highly anticipated. Movie night at Bridgeview Yacht Club presented by Hurley Surf Club premiered two epic films, and featured a chance to put down the star of the movie Will Skudin in the dunk tank. "Hurley Surf Club was started to bring the community of surfers together whether it be at the beach, coffee shop, local barbecue or at events like this. What better event for us to come forward and support than this awesome movie night in celebration of New York Surfing," says Chris Hamlet of the Hurley Surf Club. After the groms drenched Will a few times, friends and families settled in for the premiere of both "Green Means Go" by Jason Belsky and Will Skudin and "Time & Tide" by Drew Maloney. Awesome raffle prizes, free pizza from Gino's New York and popcorn kept everyone entertained between films, and it would be safe to say everyone left stoked.
which would lead us to the NYSEA OPEN.
This contest is set up in the same format as a world championship event with numbers on the backs of the jerseys and last year's champion Leif Engstrom holding down the yellow jersey (as seen in the world surf league). With Man-on-Man format it was a 10-hour day. Local underdog and Hurley Surf Club manager Chris Hamlet fell just short of the final and ended with a veryrespectful equal 3rd place. Semi final two put Rob Kelly up against Leif Engstrom, the rail game versus the air game. Leif landed a couple of big rotations to start off the heat, but Rob ended up pushing his rail game past the semi and into the final. The final boiled down New Jersey's Rob Kelly against Puerto Rico's Bryan Laide. Bryan was flying at a different speed than all his other competitors throughout the day. The boys went blow for blow, keeping their boards in the water and focusing on the vertical surfing that got them to the final. In the dying minutes Rob edged out Bryan and was carried up the beach as our new, NYSEA OPEN New York Surf Week Champion!
Major thank you to all of our sponsors: Yeti Coolers, Honest Tea, Essential Water, Clifbar, Teton Gravity, Outside TV, La Colombe Coffee, Hurley Surf Club, Skudin Surf Jonathan Tand and Associates & the Gnarmads.
"On behalf of NYSEA and everyone involved in this years NY Surf Week, we would like to thank everyone for all your support and participation over the years. This has definitely been the best one yet," – Will Skudin.

Gaza Rocket Strikes Central Israel, 7 Injured Including 2 Children, 1 Infant – 4 Dead Pets
An early morning rocket from the Gaza Strip, Monday (25th), struck a house in central Israel, wounding seven people, an attack that could set off another round of violence shortly before the Israeli election.
The sounds of air-raid sirens woke up the residents of the Sharon area, northeast of Tel Aviv, sending them scurrying to bomb shelters. A strong explosion-sound followed.
The Magen David Adom rescue service said it was treating seven people, including two women who were moderately wounded. The others, including two children and an infant, had minor wounds. The rocket also killed the family's four dogs.
The rocket smashed through the roof of the family house and exploded on the floor creating a crater in the ground and sending shrapnel flying through all areas of the house. The rocket was stuck in the ground and efforts are being made to extract it.
Images from the scene showed massive destruction. Most of the house collapsed, showing a bedroom, a baby's crib and toys covered in shingles and tiles.
The family believes their secure room saved their lives.
"It's a miracle that nobody was killed," said Assi Dvilanski, a Magen David Adom paramedic who was one of the first responders at the scene.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently in Washington and set to meet later today with President Trump, announced his intention to cut the visit short in light of the "criminal" rocket fire.
IDF statements have consistently said that "Israel holds Hamas responsible for any artillery or rocket fire emanating from the coastal enclave, and it will deal accordingly as is its practice."

MORE: "I Would Be Burying My Family If We Hadn't Gotten To The Bomb Shelter"
Miracles saved the seven members of the Wolf family from certain death, when a rocket destroyed their home in Moshav Mishmeret just before 6 a.m. Monday (25th).
"I nearly lost my family," said Robert Wolf, as he stood outside the shell of his house, on a tree-lined street with single-family homes in the middle of the country, close to Kfar Saba.
"If we had not gotten to the bomb shelter in time, I would now be burying all my family," he said. "We would all be dead if we didn't do what we were told to do."
At Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba where most of the family was treated for light injuries, his son Daniel spoke with reporters.
Daniel said he had slept in the living room and heard the siren. He woke his parents, and all headed to the shelter. His mother was between the kitchen and the safe room and was moderately injured. She is undergoing treatment at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva.
He said one of the shards had cut the gas line and there was the smell of gas throughout the neighborhood, but no explosion.
Following the attack, the children were sent to school, to put on a face of normalcy. Meanwhile, Robert Wolf and his neighbors began the process of trying to clean up the damage, while reporters watched.

Israel Moves Two Brigades To The Gaza Strip, Calls Up Some Reserves
Two Israeli military brigades are moving to reinforce the Gaza border. The Israel Defense Forces also announced a limited call-up of reserves after a rocket attack on an Israeli home.
IDF spokesperson Brigadier General Ronen Manelis said, "Due to the security assessment led by the Chief of Staff, we are currently bringing two brigades who were training, and a division commander for the Southern Command. We are calling in some reservists, for specific tasks. We are prepared for a wide variety of situations."
Maj. Mika Lifshitz, a military spokeswoman, said the IDF has concluded that Gaza's Hamas rulers fired the rocket from one of their launching pads in the southern part of the coastal strip, near the city of Rafah. She said it was a self-manufactured rocket with a range of 75 miles.
The rocket made a direct hit on a home in central Israel, northeast of Tel Aviv, wounding seven and prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cut short a trip to Washington.

IDF Strikes Hamas Target Following Cross-Border Attacks
An Israeli tank hit a Hamas position near the Gaza border on Sunday evening (24th) following a day in which Palestinian terrorists mounted several cross-border attacks on Israel.
According to a statement released by Israeli security forces, "An Israeli Defense Forces tank attacked a military post belonging to the Hamas terror group in the northern Gaza Strip in response to explosive devices that were thrown at the security barrier and balloons carrying explosive devices that were launched throughout the evening," Times of Israel reported.
Earlier Sunday (24th), the Israeli Air Force conducted airstrikes against Hamas targets in Gaza after terrorists conducted nighttime riots along Israel's border, scrambling jets less than an hour after Israeli communities ran for shelter as a rocket warning alarm sounded.
Two Hamas reconnaissance posts were struck in the Israeli reprisals.
Hamas' "confusion units" said on Saturday (23rd) that they would begin rioting with sound grenades, burning tires, explosives and rocks starting at 7 p.m. until dawn and that they would launch more bomb-laden and fire-armed balloons into Israeli communities.

Arab Village To Name Street After Killer – Jordan Honors Him With Quran Reading
An Arab Village declared it will name a street after terrorist Omar Abu Leila, Arutz7 reported on Sunday (24th). Leila killed IDF soldier Gal Keidan, 19, and Rabbi Ettinger, 47, in a terror attack last week.
The village, Bruqin, is located near Ariel, the opening scene of the attack, which took place at two junctions.
Leila killed First Sergeant Gal Keidan, a combat soldier in the 334th Battalion in the Artillery Corps, and Rabbi Ahiad Ettinger, a father of 12, on Sunday (17th). A third victim, IDF soldier Alexander Drovsky, is improving after undergoing surgery and is expected to survive.
Leila was killed in a shootout with Israeli forces last Tuesday (19th).
The Palestinian Authority has a history of naming streets and squares after terrorists. The PA also has a Martyrs Fund to pay a monthly stipend to the families of terrorists killed or jailed for carrying out attacks against Israelis.
Meanwhile, the Jordanian Parliament on Sunday (24th) honored 19-year-old killer, Omar Abu Leila by reading a Quran chapter in his memory.
The eulogy for Abu Leila on Sunday was organized by MP Khalil Atifeh, who last week saluted him [Leila] – before he was killed – for "killing the Jews." During the same session Atifeh called Israel's ambassador "a descendant of monkeys and pigs."
On Sunday, Atifeh stood up to salute Abu Leila again and recited the Quran passage, after which all those present in the parliamentary hall rose to honor him.

Rafi Eitan, Israeli Master Spy Who Caught Eichmann, Dies At 92
Rafi Eitan, a legendary Israeli spy who led the capture of Holocaust mastermind Adolf Eichmann, died Saturday (23rd) in Tel Aviv. He was 92.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Saturday evening (23rd), "My wife Sara and I, together with the people of Israel, mourn the passing of Rafi Eitan," to whom he referred as "a personal friend of our family."
Netanyahu continued," Rafi was among the heroes of the intelligence services of the State of Israel on countless missions on behalf of the security of Israel. He took part in the capture and bringing to justice in Israel and Jerusalem of the infamous Nazi Adolf Eichmann."
The Israeli prime minister also lauded Eitan's work "to return Jewish property that was taken during the Holocaust," concluding, "His wisdom, wit and commitment to the people of Israel and our state were without peer."
Eitan was perhaps most well-known for his role in the 1960 operation to capture Eichmann in Argentina and bring him to trial in Jerusalem, which remains one of the Mossad's most historic missions. It brought to life the horrors of the Nazi "Final Solution" to commit genocide against the Jewish people, of which Eichmann was the architect.
In addition to other security officials, Mossad Director Yossi Cohen also expressed sorrow over Eitan's passing announcing, "Eitan was a pillar of the intelligence community in general, and the Mossad in particular. We will always remember his contribution to the security of the State of Israel from his days as a young fighter in the Palmach. His work and his actions will be etched in gold letters in the annals of the state."
Cohen added, "The great majority of his operations cannot be publicized but they contributed greatly to the security of the State of Israel. The foundations that Rafi laid in the first years of the state are a significant layer in the activities of the Mossad even today. The people of Israel owe him much. May his memory be blessed."
Rafi Eitan was laid to rest on Sunday (24th). He is survived by his wife Miriam and three adult children.

Eleventh Episode 〜 Shisho
Translator's Corner: Mou, I've been up all night. It's past 4 in the morning now. Guess I'll head to be after this. Enjoy the chapter!
I thoroughly enjoy the morning scenery, and walk to the open plaza.
There Achilles-san is swinging a black spear around in the plaza, training.
Every time the black spear moves, a faint swishing sound is made.
"–Oh? It's early."
"Achilles-san is early too."
"It's my daily routine. Recently I go to the 【Training Course】, like this, it's practicing the art of the spear before dawn-Humph!"
Achilles-san swings the black spear which is a long metal rod around, repeating the movement of stabbing with the tip.
"Does Shuya also train? There's a rod and spear there."
Urged by Achilles-san I look where his eyes pointed.
There are several black spears and iron rods propped up.
A spear. I'll try it.
"Well then, it's the first time, for me."
I picked up the leaning black spear.
Taking a suitable fighting stance, I thrust, and brandish it–
Mimicking Achilles-san's movement, I move the black spear.
"Ho, amazing. You really are of the vampire lineage; your physical ability isn't ordinary. The spear is made with heavy tanza steal, yet you're so "lightly" swinging it around."
Mm? It's light.
"This is a heavy metal?"
While I ask a question about my doubt, I brandish the black spear, and thrust several times. My physical ability reinforcement contributes to the fact that it feels light.
"It's heavy? It's heavy but this much, it's stronger than the normal spear. The metal rod and blade are one piece? But, the sharpness isn't very good……"
Achilles-san points the spear tip here, and talks.
"Certainly……"
The tip is sharp but it's a flat impression.
The tip of the metal was dulled from use.
Normally, the rod is different from the tip of the spear.
I can't see a part where the blade was joined to the handle.
I move my eyes from the black spear point to the hand grip. That way I light the black spear with one hand and swing it around to the left and right, extending both arms moving the black spear.
"U〜mu, that speed is enough, but if it's that, it's only stabbing."
"Something is insufficient?"
"That's so. First of all, the movement that transfers from the lower back to the spear head, look."
Achilles-san is deliberately making it easy to understand and demonstrates, showing the movements of the stab slowly.
His waist sinks slightly–the action begins.
At first glance…….
It's a casual movement, but therein was a certain expertise.
Power flows from the lower back with a twist in the waste to transmit the power from the feet firmly planted on the ground. The flow of power passes through midline of the abdomen, from the shoulder to the arm, the power was surely transmitted to the fingers grasping the spear.
The black spear is "twisted" being struck forward with a swish.
It's definitely entirely different.
The movement of the body I was aware of, was the "twisting" of the spear.
"The 'twist' is important to thrust. It's the basic of the spear school."
"……"Twist" I understand."
This way, Achille-san first performs the movement striking with the spear, and I imitate tracing the movement–
It's repeated over and over again.
Being aware of the "twisting" movement permeating the whole body, I understood that the thrust of the spear changed.
Achilles-san conducted the movement of the spear little by little, but I'm firmly making it my own.
To the extent that I forgot the time, while and concentrated and training, results are immediately produced.
I understood the feeling–
※Pikon※ ※Condition for Spear User Met※
※Pikon※ ※<Thrusting> Skill Acquired※
"Oh, I seem to have become a spear user. I learned the skill <Thrusting>."
To what I said Achilles-san face showed surprise, stopping the movement of the spear midway, he stared at my face.
"–What? In these few hours? In addition, together with a skill? To change one in ten, if there's talent and luck, I heard that you can get the skill and Battle Occupation with slight training, but……Never, in front of my own eyes……"
It seems to be unusual.
"Is it that unusual?"
"Ah, it's unusual. Shuya's talent is rare, somehow or other, do you have inborn skill?"
"Eh, well……"
It was easy to learn the battle occupation with the permanent skill <Natural Demon Ability>……
"I see. If it's that I can understand. Mimicking my movement, carried out autolysis by slight practice."
"That's so. Is it the feeling understood by mimicking the sensation?"
"Humu. Splendid……a class up will also probably come quickly…… Let alone full mastership of the wind spear style, even emperor class may be easily passed."
Class up to wind spear style?
For now, I'll ask about the details of class up.
"Class Up? What is that?"
Achilles-san in response to my question, slightly moves his eyebrows, and then began explaining with a feeling that it can't be helped.
"Did you forget even that? When oneself accomplishes growth by acquiring experience and various abilities the class up, that indicate the battle occupation can change to a new one. The next for spear use will probably be around 'Spear Dancer' or 'Spear Warrior.' By the way, there are cases where the name of the battle occupations I mentioned may change subtly according to the individual. It's said if one becomes strong it will change."
Hoa〜, there's a time when the name of the battle occupation changes because of the individual.
"Having done that, after all there are other ones? Battle Occupations."
Of course I felt what Achilles-san said, and turning the black spear in hand, he left the butt of the black spear on the surface of the hard stone and answered.
"–You know that? It changes even learning various weapons and magic like the Sword, Axe, Short Sword, Dual Swords. An enormous number of battle occupations are confirmed. One theory is they might exist endlessly. It is said."
"Well, infinite……"
"That's right. In addition to magic related jobs there battle occupations with names that change depending on race as well. The names of jobs are different in various ways amongst humans themselves. There are many jobs that I don't know. This seems to be a blessing from the god of jobs but the details aren't understood."
God of Jobs. If I remember correctly his name was Refoto.
"God……Infinity is profound."
When I say I really learned the sensation of battle occupation, there should be a relationship, I imagine. It would be part of this world.
"Ah, certainly. It's also the indicator to feel growth. The way of the world, I receive it without know the benefit of the great gods."
Gods, when old people such as Achilles-san say it, I can strangely understand it.
"Even so, you learned the <Thrusting> skill, but I've heard that to learn a skill talent requires luck. Even if the battle occupation does class up, the people who can't learn the skill exist. I may acquire the occupation at the same time as Shuya, and I may "suddenly" learn it concerning growth and heredity. Accumulation of experience and teaching the student the 'significance of the skill is understood for the first time.' The circumstances are multifarious and it depends on individual differences."
While hearing what he said, I stare at the tip of the black spear in my hands.
"Indeed. When I learned <Thrusting>, it was a strange sensation. The movement that I practiced even more sublimated and was acquired by my body, the sensation that I remembered from before……"
Now I see my ability from how I carry the black spear.
"It will be a sensation that Shuya himself doesn't understand. If you can understand the skill immediately, even if the skill is acquired, it's not the kind of thing that may be understood. At last I've begun to understand the meaning of the skill through special training. There is such a case."
I see. Unexpectedly.
Surely I myself, even if I acquire the skill, there are times where I don't understand the significance of the skill.
"I see. Well, this <Thrusting>, it's the simple feeling to thrust."
When I say so, Achilles-san's expression becomes stern.
It's a serious look.
"It's surely simple, it's the most basic of the basics of 'One of the Great Spear Techniques.' Such things are said in the world of the spear. Is it profound that 'It starts with <Thrusting> and ends with <Thrusting>'? Well, even I didn't understand the significance at first……"
For example, even if going to the world championship the boxer must first conquer the left jab……that feeling?
"<Thrusting> in the end……I remember it happening."
I take in the morning sun while talking about expanding the ability, and an expression as if remembering something floats of Achilles-san's face.
"–D, damn! I forgot to feed the livestock, I was too absorbed in teaching Shuya and was immersed……we're late for breakfast, but will you help me?"
Feeding. Of course I'll help.
"I'll do it. It's my fault too."
"Then, this way."
Achilles-san goes to the foot of the cliff with the ladder in a hurried state.
A ladder led to the bottom from the foot of the cliff of the steep slope.
I see a little plateau area spread out at the bottom.
I'm urged on by Achilles-san.
I follow too, and placing my foot on the ladder I go down.
Before I climbed down to ladder, Mm? It's a door.
Next to the ladder, the side of the wall, there's an old wooden door.
When Achilles-san gets off the ladder, without taking notice of the door, he goes along the right side of the wall.
However, I'm interested in where the door leads.
Does it lead underground?
I'm curious, I open it.
I whom is won over by curiosity.
To look inside a little, I pull the door nob.
I set foot in the entrance.
Cold air penetrates my whole body–I unintentionally tremble with excitement.
The dark damp underground was filled with cold air.
The dark brown wood is piled up just before the underground. I can see mushrooms growing on the wood.
Are they being cultivated?
There was passage that went deeper into the open space.
I'm curious about the interior, but I'll return for now.
Achilles-san will be waiting too.
When I return back and push the door open I am met with warm air.
After all, the difference in temperature is noticeable.
While feeling warm in my body as the door was behind me, I looked at the plateau outside once more.
A gentle slope spreads out, flowers growing here and there.
A lot of sheep seem to inhabit the plateau area.
The air feels delicious.
A young woman living in the alpines comes to mind. (TN: The Hills are alive…)
"Oi, where did you go? –This way."
I hear Achilles-san's voice calling. I go straight to the rock wall where I heard the voice come from.
The place was suddenly a stable pen.
The stables were made using the rock face.
In order to dig a cave, the rock is dug through. Reinforced with wood and building materials similar to mortar on the ceiling, the building was built to be considerably strong.
The entrance of the stable is surrounded by a fence; the inside is divided with a smaller fences.
I'm guided there.
"Eh! Dinosaur……"
A surprised voice comes out.
This is because there is an animal that resembled a dinosaur in the animal pen.
Resembling a dinosaur……but, it seems completely different.
The length is three to four meters. The flat head gives the impression of the reptile family.
It's close to a lizard. The head has two triangular horns growing on the side, its entire body is cylindrical.
However, the eyes are small and pretty.
"Bubo, bubo."
A cry. It's a sound coming from the back fold of the nose.
It called while eating feed.
Not only the fodder but things like and meat and potatoes are included.
It seems omnivorous.
"This a dragon? Puhhaha. Shuya really doesn't seem to have any memories."
Achilles-san laughs while seeing my figure pull back.
"This is Popobum. It's a demon beast. Its appearance may certainly be similar to a small dragon, but……isn't it an important mount in these mountains?"
"Mount. Like a horse?"
"A horse is surely able, but there's steep slopes here. You can go on a horse, but……there's sometimes places where it's hard for horses to carry things. In that respect Popobumu is a sturdy demon beast. You can look at its feet and understand. Also, it will eat anything you feed it. Well, it like grass growing on the plateau most."
Surely……there are strangely six thick-legs.
"Now, I will teach you how to ride these fellows, the movement is like that of a horse, and its speed is faster."
"Aah……well, I wonder if I'll learn it."
"It will be troublesome if you don't learn it. Should I help you? It's necessary to take care of the livestock. This plateau is vast."
"I understand. I'll do my best."
In addition to there being a pig in this stable, a cow, there were also a lot of animals similar to the alpaca.
The animal similar to a pig has abnormally big hind legs, and a small tusk grows from the nose.
When I reached the cow, two utters were strangely formed and accompanied by a head so the amount of milk wasn't normal.
As for the Alpacas there was one who had all of his hair shaved off and one who had hair left.
It's a plateau area, I though the animals resembling sheep resided here, instead it's this guy.
The food is mainly grass fodder, there's also feed with something like mushrooms mixed in. Looking at the mushrooms put in the feed, I remember the space I found earlier.
Do hey cultivate mushrooms there?
"Achilles-san, this mushroom."
"Ah, it's cultivated in the store house. Did you see it?"
Leaving the stable, I'm lead to the store house by Achilles-san.
After all, the store house is where the old wooden door from before was.
They seem to cultivate a large number of the mushroom resembling shiitakes here.
Thoroughly, they resembled shiitake mushrooms.
The artificial cultivation of the shiitake I remember should be difficult.
Or rather, nowadays successful artificial cultivation is on track.
But, here is a different world.
There will be plenty of possibilities for cultivation methods.
The cave had many rooms that branched off going deeper.
In each side room, wooden barrels, curing meat, dried vegetables, were kept separately stored in wooden boxes.
The humidity is surprisingly different in each room.
Achilles-san gave a difficult explanation.
I return back to the area near the entrance.
While looking at the wood where mushrooms grew, I suddenly asked.
I'd like to see several kinds of mushrooms, how to ascertain poisonous mushrooms, I talk with Achilles-san for a long time.
Then, I heard a voice "Ojii cha〜an."
"Ah, after all you were here."
"Refaa."
"Yup. Good morning, it hasn't come yet. Oka-san, was angry. Oto-san, is hunting. A tree also needs to be cut."
And, the black cat Rollodinu is under Refaa's feet.
Meeting my eyes, the black cat Rollo ran over.
For short, Rollo is good, "dinu" is attached for the feeling.
Rollo lifts her gaze, and appeals to me with round red eyes.
"Mm? What is it?"
"Nyaa〜"
When I ask Rollo, she rubs her small head on my foot. Coming and going, the tail is entangled. Satisfied rubbing several times, she gets on my shoulder. (TN: Kawaii)
While resting dexterously on my shoulder, the feelers extend and touch my face.
『Uneasy』『Found you』『Play』
Ah, such strange feelings were conveyed.
She seems to have been lonely. Rollo is a cute fellow.
"A〜h, Rollo-sama, hogging〜. That, I want it too〜"
Refaa seems to have watched the exchange between me and Rollo, and said such a thing.
I take another look at Rollodinu sitting on my shoulder,
"You're so wanted?"
I speak quietly.
Rollo called "Nya" saying something like 『Been Found Nya』, and got down from my shoulder with a supple movement. Walking at a comfortable pace and stopping beside Refaa, turning red eyes to Refaa, feelers come from the scruff of the neck, and the feels brushed Refaa's cheeks kindly.
Conveying a feeling, a strange look.
"Waa〜, Rollo-sama, I want to play."
"Nn, Nya."
Achilles-san watches the exchange between Refaa and Rollo curiously. He turns to face me.
"Do you intend to let the Divine Beast-sama go around freely?"
"More freedom, some words me and everybody seem to understand."
"I see. That explains why……"
Achilles-san looked at the black cat which was a Divine Beast.
"Besides, it's said there it the treasure genju's sake ball of light or the stone of wisdom, with which she can recover her true form."
"Is that the story I heard yesterday? I think we can't obtain the power ourselves, but the humans and different races which live in different areas, there may be a person who knows something."
"When you mention humans, where is there a 【Town】 or 【City】?"
"That's right. There's that but by becoming an 'adventurer,' you can collect information fast."
Adventurer, after all, there's such a thing in a city.
"An adventurer. That's good. It's also more convenient for looking around the world. ……One day, I should able to become an adventurer too."
Achilles-san hears my casual mutter, and shows a please look.
"You want to become one, there, there. Let's return to the top, after slowly eating breakfast, we'll talk."
I went up the ladder and returned to house on top of the cliff.
I carry a late breakfast to the entrance with Achilles-san.
Breakfast is leftovers from yesterday and hard bread.
I eat it silently.
Refaa who had returned with us was being taught by Rabbi-san. Sitting down at a desk in the next room she wrote characters on a black board resembling a shiroishi. The stone looked like chalk but I didn't ask about it. (TN: I think he's saying the board is slanted up for easier writing)
When I finish the meal, I hear every little thing I have questions about.
"I have a question, but is it okay?"
"First, how many hours are there in a day?"
Achilles-san raises a single eyebrow, with an expression of whether I had forgotten even such a thing.
"Ha? Did you forget something so commonplace? Generally, one day, has 28 or 30 hours, I don't know how much exactly. Generally, it's like that."
"Is that so. 30 hours……"
About 30 hours, that explains long time between day and night.
Is the rotation of the habitable zones different from earth? Is the rotation slow?
Or is this planet big, the difference in temperature doesn't change very much, but……
From such a thing, I've heard the familiar thing.
"Do you know the word Status?"
He doesn't seem to know.
It must be true that other people can't see my status.
"No, it's nothing. Then, one own ability values, for example the skill this morning, I learned it, is there something which can check those skills I got?"
When Achilles-san hear what I say, tilting his head, hatena? In that way, with a questioning expression.
"Checking your Skill yourself? Do you mean to say an appraisal skill to feel around the soul of a person?"
After all, there's such a skill.
It's slightly different but let's talk about it.
"Yeah. Would there be such a skill?"
"There is. Not only a specialized skill that appraises an item, but also a person having a skill which can appraise another person, there seem to be people having the skill present in this world. But I haven't met any."
"Appraisal, I know a little……"
There's a person with an appraisal skill. It's enviable.
I didn't see anything like that among the four extra skills.
Satori is a skill which seemed convenient, but it might cause trouble.
"……From such a thing, there's a room I haven't shown Shuya yet. It's a good time, come. So I'll tell you about adventurers."
Achilles-san talking with a proud air goes to the room next to where Refaa and Rabbi-san are and heads to the back room.
Even if I say back room, it has a feeling like a store-room.
Empty barrels are piled up and put in flax sacks along with salt barrels.
It looks like where food is put the ferment, a little smelly.
But, there were stairs leading down to the left.
Achilles-san quickly goes down the stairs.
Bright light was leaking from the basement where I come down the stairs.
It's very bright.
The real nature of the brightness, wasn't a lamp but a "furnace."
The hot light from the furnace to the left of the inside lit up the room. The thing which seems to be a huge ventilation device made with a frame following the chimney is seen in the upper-left corner of the ceiling.
Near the furnace, there was an anvil as well as bellows and smithing tools. A number of metal rods are lined up. (TN: I think this fight translate better to forge, but I'm not sure.)
Is that a pedestal for grinding things in the right corner?
It seems like a mortar and appears to be a metal pedestal
As the small brush and pestle are assembled on the pedestal, I think medicinal herbs are ground hard here. A bottle similar to a flask is used for heating it, there are scales and a large pot too.
The large pot, if compared to a game is like alchemy in dragon quest eight.
In the cupboard near the pedestal, there's ground ingredients, a bunch of grass and multicolored flowers and shining stones are piled up. Medicines with strange shades have been put in bottles so the liquid can be displayed.
Is it glass fiber? This is only glass.
Though all the other bottles are ceramics.
Elsewhere, there's seems to be a shogi board.
There are pieces too, is it Achilles-san's game?
"This furnace seems to be a thing made in ancient times by the dwarfs. It has existed since before I was born. It doesn't exist in the village of other Goldiba. At present none may exist anywhere else. Same as the god tower, it's technology that was only inherited."
He explained the shining furnace.
"As for the furnace, does it have a name like god tower?"
"It doesn't. It was probably forgotten with time. Otherwise completely hand-crafted, it's the works of an excellent dwarf individual."
The possibility seems high.
"The tanza steel and iron with similar properties are processed using this furnace."
A furnace, you say that, but though it's bright it isn't hot.
"Heat doesn't leak out, and isn't it amazing technology?"
To my words, Achilles-san, in order to remember begins talking.
"This furnace is surely that. From the story I heard from my father and an old man, the technology of the dwarfs swept over the world in ancient times, the perspective of the world now, it's difficult to talk about. But, eventually it may be very different. When I spent time with the humans……the story nearly 300 years ago, the world at that time, there were no furnaces identical to this."
After all the technology of this guy is lost?
"It's a mystery……"
"Ah, I hear there were many wars and disasters, and even now there is probably war. The lost technology and magic will probably exist in the mountains."
The dwarf which made this……
Speaking of dwarfs, an image of a short figure and think hair, muscular, and, a plump impression.
It's an image that comes from the famous movies and novels, The Lord of the Rings.
As for the figure of Loirr living underground, it was the actual figure of a dwarf.
For now, I'll ask about it.
"It seem excellent, but what kind of race is the dwarf?"
"When I continued my trip in the past, I lived in a city for a long time where a lot of dwarfs lived, but I mostly lived with humans. Their characteristic is being short. And, strong, tough, and above all having a cheerful personality it's a strange race that is fun to be with."
Indeed, Loirr had such a feeling.
"They're proud of their smithing and mining technology, but Dwarfs have abundant methods and unknown skill which strengthen unique metals. I'm confident to some extent too, but technology I didn't know served as reference. ……But, this king of 'technology to make the furnace,' or 'god tower,' I was told about in the areas I traveled. I didn't see all of Southern Maheim divided, but……at that time, there were probably 'one of the lost technologies,' I thought so and recognized it."
I see. After all, lost technology.
I have a feeling it's a fragment of the story I had heard from Loirr.
"……was it a long journey?"
"Ah, I traveled about in various ways. I said a little while ago……the country of the dwarfs once called 【Mine City Tandart】, I lived there for many years, I went to the god of swordsmanship head temple. To the east there's the 【Ancient Ruins of Rochemail】, while there I trained with others in the 'wind spear style.'"
Oh, ancient ruins. A man's romance.
"Are there monsters in the ancient ruins?"
"That's right. The place is the remains of an ancient battleground. A large number of dead monster souls are collected there. Well, on the other hand isn't it a good place for adventurers? Furthermore, there's a legend, it's said that there exists an 'underground kingdom' built by the survivors of the ancient dwarfs, 'a secret underground passage way exists there,' I have heard such a rumor."
An Underground Kingdom……
Is it the Langur Empire which Loirr spoke of?
Such a question passes through my head, but it's not related to me.
Apart from that, I'm curious about the furnace in front of me said to have been made by the ancient dwarfs.
This, is probably full of lost technology.
How can something so small contain so much heat?
I can see unusual steel like lead surrounding around it and understand that. Maybe the steal uses magic to suppress the heat, or……
"……The ancient technology of the dwarfs, the furnace is still active?"
"Humu. I occasionally use it even now. As the way it's used isn't different from an ordinary furnace it's easy to use. In addition to weapons and armor displayed here, I also make the horseshoes for Popbumu and farming tools here. It's the skill ?"
Achilles-san turns his gaze to the shelf.
"I made pieces such as the chair and table with <Greater Woodworking>. The flowers in the cupboard, the magic crystal stones, and medicinal herb are used in my alchemy. There's also the "initial skill" <Second Alchemy> I've mastered."
It's such a skill name.
There's also a sewing kit like thing.
"Amazing. Can you sew too?"
"I can sew. Rabbi uses the superior sewing skill using the hair of reme, though in my case because I acquired from experience I can sew a little. Even then, repairing the cuirass and gauntlet Shuya had equipped, it's put there."
I armor I was equipped with was put on the desk.
Still, there are production skills as well.
Can I learn it if I do my best……
"……Ah, yes. Than you."
This old man, seems to be able to do anything.
"Sorry, when I finished carrying Shuya, I took off everything other than the necklace."
"–It's fine. This equipment……is something which I picked up underground."
And, I put on the cuirass he had repaired.
"Ho, however, didn't you pick up a good thing? the cuirass is made from serpent family scales. The gauntlet is a splendid gem as well. Most of the armor is made of landtide ore. Leather from the zerdotaiga which appears frequently in labyrinths was used for the lining. It's unfortunate there's only one, but."
Mm, I picked it up and profited. Well, scales.
I don't know the name of the monster.
"……the serpent cuirass is made from sea dragons? ……I don't understand anything……"
"Oh? The sea dragon is right, but you don't understand. More importantly, I'll explain the detailed reasons. I said for a time that I worked with humans, as for I talk about my days as an adventurer……"
"Achilles-san is an adventurer? Aren't you an Armed Priest?"
To my question, Achilles-san calmly nodded and answered.
"Now. I wasn't a priest in the old days. It's because I had too a perverse nature for a priest and had grown tired of the 【Training Course】……besides, in those days the Goldiba clan had another Armed Priest."
Achilles-san closed his eyes to remember something, then nodded and talked.
"So, Shuya. If you become an adventurer, while you live here for a while, why don't you learn from me the spear of 'wind spear style,' and my 'unique' martial arts?"
Martial arts and Wind Spear Style.
He showed me earlier.
If I can become strong, I want to learn.
"Is that separate from magic skills?"
"Umu. In order to obtain the sacred stone liquor for Lohs-pardon me-Rollodinu-sama, it's for the sake of Shuya. To live with humans in the future, with just the power of Dhampir, might it cause misunderstanding you don't need?…… Also, I don't need to protect the Divine Beast-sama statue as a priest anymore. So, I want to be of even a little use to Shuya and the Divine beast Rollodinu-sama."
Achilles-san is desperate.
"Will I become able to use such wonderful martial arts?"
A little, I hesitate to talk.
"What to say. It's because I saw your spear handling this morning. Shuya has a talent to handle spear arms. More than that I thought it was 'fate.' If it's wasn't important, would I not say such a thing? Besides, now that I take an apprentice, I bear the responsibility to train you properly in "martial arts" until you've mastered it."
Achilles-san, it's a somewhat faithful expression……
At this chance. I'll be taken care of in various ways. It's decided!
Meaning, I'm an apprentice. Achilles-san becomes the master.
"I understand. I'm honored to be able to learn martial arts from someone like you. By all means in the future. Please–"
Lowering my head, as best as I can, I do a polite bow.
Master, It's Shifu in Chinese. I remember kung fu movies.
I place both arms before my chest, putting one fist in the opposite palm, and gesture lowering my head.
This, I yearned for it a little.
"……Is that so, Humu. It's good, good."
Raising my head, I look at master…….
Shisho for some reason, has tears collecting in his eyes. (TN: Shisho means master, as in a teacher type master. I'm going to leave this untranslated because I like how it sounds.)
……Is that so.
Achilles-shiso is an Armed Priest of Goldiba, from generation to generation, continuously protecting the Divine Beast statue.
For a certain "faith"……
I think there was something coming to his mind, I guess it on my own.
"Achilles-san…….I will call you shiso from now on."
When Shiso is called so, he is surprised.
"I, is that so?"
"Eeh, I'll have you teach me various things from now on. Achilles-san is a Shiso. I'll be in your care, Shiso."
Achilles-shiso watches at me.
"Yesterday, you said you would also like the learn magic skills. –It will probably be good."
Shisho nods having understood. Somewhat happy looking.
Magic skills. I want to use them.
"……Magic skills, of yesterday."
Well, that psychokinesis, aura, thought, force-like magic.
Unbelievable, I'm excited. (TN: I'm going to get a migraine.)
"That's right. Assuming I'll teach, you……of course even magic to mana rather than magi arts, (TN, this made no fucking sense, three different words for magic.) what do you know so far?"
"Yes. Maryoku, Maho, and Moji are completely……"
Achilles-san looks like a Shisho, crossing his arms lightly.
"First, we have to deal with your leaking Maryoku. We'll start from the basics. It can be expected that acquiring Moji will take several months no matter how talented. From there, it may even take a life time?" (TN: I think Maryoku could be translated as mana but it's confusing if I try to give it a meaning that might not hold up so I'm leaving it like this.)
Achilles-san exhibits the dignity of a Shisho, until now he's made very few facial expressions.
Shisho creases the middle of his forehead and his eyes become sharp.
Strength is put into the end of his words.
I have a fired up feeling too.
"Your spirit is good! We'll start right away. First is the confirmation of Maryoku. Then with legs crossed in a comfortable position. Relax."
Being told to, I sit on the floor, and sit lightly cross-legged.
"Close your eyes, breath deep. A calm mind, sink down inside your body……"
Can I relax?
I breathe out gently.
As I was told, I try to relax.
Taking out alpha waves from the brain, closing my eyes, I concentrate.
I practice zen, absorbed in meditation.
"Stare at the physical center……concentrate on it. Foundation of the mind–direct your eyes to the deep place of the heart 'folds of the heart.' The should be 'something.'"
So that Shisho doesn't disturb my concentration, he speaks in a quiet tender tone. As if to hypnotize me, he talked.
The "fold of the heart."
While taking a deep breath, the feel the fold of the heart, I'm aware of my abdomen.
Concentrate. Maryoku in the heart–
Mm? Now, something, suddenly overflowing.
Innermost depths of my heart, at the bottom of my abdomen–
It's different from the sea. The surface of the water spreads out vigorously.
A strange sensation, I leak a small "……oh."
"–Did you grasp something? That is Shuya. It is your maryoku source. This time, the "sensation" that comes is often one's attribute–"
When I hear Shisho's words, I remembered surprise and impatience and a change happens inside the consciousness.
This……is it maryoku?
That, on the surface of the water, I turn a stronger consciousness.
As soon as I turned to the consciousness, a drop of water falls on the surface of the water–I understood that a ripple spread across the surface of the water.
With a sense of letting the ripple spread across the water's surface, power is put between in the middle of my forehead, I run after the sensation spreading out inside the abdomen.
And, the feeling of the water's surface is pulled up–
"Oh……This is Maryoku! That means, my attribute is water?"
……It's water. Did my memories from when I was a kid allow me to do so?
"Even if, the sensation is amazing–"
"Humu……Water."
Achilles-shisho nods, and mutters calmly.
On one hand, I'm excited.
The feeling of another organ in my body……
This would be natural in this world, but it's exciting……
Coming to my senses excitement naturally shows on my smiling face.

Ooh~ New chapter! Get! Thanks for the update! Woohoo!
shortykilz says:
Low, I, in order to obtain the sacred stone liquor for Rollodinu-sama, it's for the sake of Shuya.
Looking at the raw, it looks like he starts to say Lohse, but corrects himself to rollodinu. I don't know how you want to put it, but leaving the sentence as is, it'd be best if you moved Low next to Rollodinu, and change it to "Loh-", to make it show that he was about to say the old name but stops himself.
Just a record, I can't really read kanji, or understand sentence structure, but I thought the translated sentence looked a bit weird, so went to look at the raw.
birdytranslations says:
Thanks! That makes sense, I'll correct it when I get a second.
iamviruz says:
Well, water is right for vampire I think~~ then next is ice and blood ~~
Thanks for the chapter ~~
jolee says:
Thanks lots for the chapters~
Happy that it's been picked up, been anticipating it ever since the animesuki thread (erotora strikes again) and this is some wonderful stuff right here.
Each chapter is pretty long, and I don't think it's just the formatting which is lovely as well.
Really appreciate the effort in making mtl so fluent, this story's going to be really popular~
Thanks for the kind words! The length is probably why translators haven't stayed with it for very long, but I hope to do this for a while.
dragonmage says:
well it might be blood not water after all blood is a liquid as well and he could not see.smell nor feel the liquid he only was able to tell it was a liquid and assumed it was water due to thinking of waves before.
xtremeloldude says:
hmmmm "a lifetime" huh? what sort of lifetime though? vampires are pretty much immortal (as long as they're not killed) whilst humans live for a 'measly' 70-100 years
I think he means a non-immortal lifetime. It might be difficult for normal humans to do it in their lifetime, but Shuya's abilities will make it easier for him than for humans.
Erik da swede says:
Thx for the chapters ^^
Well thanks for the delivery of another chapter, our MC is growing well so far. Great chapter indeed.
somethingy for the next
recuit a proofreader or some grammar nazi will come to criticise you TL
I'm thinking about it. Once I get the chapters I already have translated out I'm planning on looking into that.
hattorisan says:
Thanks for the new chapters
Kensei Seraph says:
It's not water, it's blood. Probably.
Hope to read more chs
Just Physics says:
I think maryoku is for mazoku much like yoki for yokai race energy or something?? even blood lad anime has maryoku and there mazoku
Humans or other race => Maho/Magic => Mana
Demons => Maho/Magic => Maryoku
I assume Shuuya has both Mana and Maryoku and the one leaking like and evil energy is Maryoku well hes racial characteristics is a half vamp
Is Moji a fighting spirit like Ki ?? this is debatable
Moji => Ki?? What do u think??
Moji is kind of like ki,but you can also use it for telekinesis.
Kye says:
I really wouldve thought his mana type would be a mix of light and darkness? Not sure why the author chose water with how the story is developing.
Yukine says:
Maryoku=>Magic Power.
kirakira12id says:
Thx for update 🙂
animemanganovelfiction says:
from Water he can mastered others related water magic like Blood, Poison, Acid, Holy Water, Steam, Hot Water, Lava, Cold Water, Extreme Cold Water, Nitrogen & Hydrogen Liquid, Nitrogen & Hydrogen Bomb/thermonuclear bomb
thx for the chapter ^^
al103 says:
>shiso
Maybe Shisho(u)?
Because Master/Teacher is Shishou
Gagh, I didn't know that was the english spelling
I'm a little surprised he didn't find light or blood hope he practices with his chain as well
dragons33 says:
In regards to what you were trying to translate the word for 'Magic' I think probably the best way to consider it is that he wants to teach Shuya how to sense 'Magic Energy' (mana), how to control 'Magic Power' (application of mana), and then how to cast a 'Magic Spell'. And the 3 ways I think 'Magic' can be considered are as learning how to sense magic power/energy (mana) and control it, second is taking magic energy (mana) and applying it as a skill, and third being how to cast a magic spell. Examples I can think of from this series so far is that Shuya's 'Blood Magic' is the application of 'Magic' in spell form, although it is listed as a skill the wielder is able to change and manipulate the 'Magic' according to his will. The example of 'Magic' being applied as a skill would be the 'Blood Chains' skill, where Shuya is only able to use a specific application of 'Blood Magic' in a specific form. Another example of a 'Magic skill' would be Shuya's 'Reclusive Body' (concealment) skill, seeing as how back at the Dwarven Kingdom the Dwarves had picked up a reading of magic power (mana) being used; it is likely Shuya could have been using a specific application of Dark attributed magic to conceal his presence. There is a fine line between calling something a 'Magic skill' and a 'Magic spell' but I believe that the differences lie in the way the 'Magic' is applied (the way they are used). I hope this works in helping you come up with ways to explain the uses of magic in your translations.
Thanks for the chapter Birdy! Wonder if the old guy's martial arts and stuff are famous outside.

Letter From Deputy Mayor Kihn to District Families
Dear District Families,
Without any doubt, this has been a year like no other for our schools. We have faced incredible challenges head on, navigated a new approach to learning, and built hundreds of virtual communities. I will forever be grateful to our dedicated teachers, and to you – our parents and families who have played an invaluable role in supporting our students' learning and emotional development over the last sixteen months.
Now, we can be grateful that it is time to look ahead to next school year, one in which all students will be back in school. Our children do best when they are in school surrounded by friends and caring teachers, and Mayor Bowser has set a clear expectation for all schools to be fully open, safely serving all students.
To achieve this, your school's staff and District agencies are working hard to create safe facilities and design dynamic programming. We are proud of the investments and planning we have already done that helped us bring more than 28,000 public school students back for in-person learning this school year. We have marveled at the dedication of our teachers and staffs, and we have reveled in the joy felt by kids as they return to school buildings.
I know many families have questions about returning to school and whether a virtual option will be offered. Due to the critical benefits of in-person learning, and the robust health and safety protocols to support the wellbeing of students, staff, and families, distance learning in School Year 2021-22 will only be available to a small number of students with a medical condition that requires distance learning due to COVID-19. Families will work with their child's physician or nurse practitioner to document that need. You can expect to receive more information about this process from your child's school.
We know everyone's circumstances are unique, and families have a range of concerns as well as comfort levels related to returning to full time in-person learning. We appreciate and value the diverse perspectives we have heard and want to assure you that your child's safety is our number priority. Please know we are listening and taking every precaution to ensure a safe and welcoming return to school.
We have been through a lot together, and this is a critical moment for us as a city to continue to pull together to provide our children the best learning experience possible. We cannot wait to have students back in schools this fall.
Paul Kihn
