Hakai Me no Yuuri - Chapter 85
Based on what Im getting in the way of comments, most people are either indifferent to Hasters name, or are used to the previous spelling already. Leaving it as it was is easier for me too, so its back to Haster from here on. Thank you for the feedback!

4th Act, Chapter 85: Heresy
Translated by Soyokaze Translations: soyokazetranslation . com
I was being considerate of Miss Levy last night, so we couldnt have a review meeting. As such, we are going to have it early in the morning.
Furthermore, its one of our rest days, so we wont be going in the labyrinth.
“And so, yesterdays review meeting is now in session. Don don, pafu pafu!”
“Y-yaaay?”
“Its supposed to be a reflection on how to improve though, and we actually cleared things really well yesterday, so we dont really have much to review, do we?”
“Haster, “When you dont reflect, you dont improve,” right?”
“Well I get that, but”
“Ah, but Ive got one thing. Yesterday went too well, so we didnt notice how tired we were towards the end, and I think that made it a little dangerous. Marle is with us, so Id like to avoid any forced marches.”
She certainly did seem pretty fatigued yesterday.
We could cause ourselves to not realize were getting tired. Resting early and often is an important issue.
“Certainly. Haster and Alec probably werent very tired, but it was pretty rough on Marle and I physically.”
“Ahh, sorry. I didnt notice Looks like I have a ways to go as a husband.”
“Youre just a beginner as a newlywed, so you cant help if you dont think of everything, right?”
“Ill be careful from now on. Ill apologize at some point. s.e.xually.”
“Aaand its ruined!”
This guy was just letting his s.e.x drive run wild, darn it all!
“But seriously, yall fought 16 battles yesterday was it? Thats some pretty crazy stuff. Howd ya do it?”
“Oh, that was”
She is an ally were partying together with, and our senior in traversing the labyrinth.
Telling her about [Sonar] should be fine.
I conveyed the details of the spell formula to her. She has “Peerless Magic” too, so she should have understood the specifics clearly But
“H-hey Do ya realize just what kinda unbelievable thing ya did?”
“Huh?”
“New spells aint somethin you just go off one day an spit out like it aint nothin!”
“Yuuri actually has a comparatively easy time spitting them out though, right?”
“Shell often just get an idea and make it that day, wont she?”
“Well, it is Yuuri after all.”
Yeah, thats pretty much how it goes, doesnt it?
I mean, Im using them just fine right now, yknow?
“Listen up, ya hear? New spells normally take years of researchin, and piles of testin, until finally a prototype gets made, ya got that? To be makin one the very day ya come up with an idea like its easy is just”
“Ahh, when you put it like that, Yuuris in a lot of danger. Some research inst.i.tutes somewhere would kill to have her.”
“If she can put together the details after hearin the concept in just a day Thats the kinda thing whole countries would move for.”
“Her existence itself is a strategic weapon, but that only increases her value. Just what I would expect of my wife.”
These two are just saying whatever they want, huh? Its not like Im the only one here with “Peerless Magic”.
In fact, anything I can do gift-wise, Miss Levy should be able to do as well.
“You can talk all you like, but if you have “Peerless Magic,” Miss Levy, shouldnt you be able to do that too?”
“I aint got that kinda knowledge or thoughts on how to apply it. And my magic power aint all that high either, so At best I can do that kinda thing as an adventurers hobby.”
Hrm Now that she mentions it, [Sonar] and such all use my former worlds knowledge as the base, so I probably do have an advantage on that front.
If I were to replicate things from anime or sci-fi shows, then I would be developing suspicious spells one after another So I really have to hold myself back on this?!
“Uuuh, thats enough for me to reflect on for now. Ill be careful about using new spells out in the open.”
“I didnt really tend to interact much with people so I didnt notice, but yeah, Yuuris ability to invent things really is abnormal, huh?”
“If you suspected that, then could you have maybe told me?!”
“I wasnt completely certain of it, so”
When it comes to the people I stay around, theres Haster, who has half-way secluded himself from the world, the muscle-brain Alec, and then Marle? Practically n.o.body who understood the common sense of magic.
Well of course I became a nonsensical magician then, I suppose.
“anyway I-its fine if we just leave the “nonsensical” part out. We need to be forward-facing about this. Yes, lets just keep looking forward!”
“Yuuri, your eyes are swimming.”
“Please ignore that.”
“Mister Haster and Yuuri are about the only magicians weve ever really known.”
“Ive met quite a few over at the knight brigade, but I just thought they were barely out of apprentices.h.i.+p or something.”
“So Mister Haster really is an amazing magician, and Yuuri is a completely nonsensical magician then.”
“Sounds about right.”
“Dont agree with her?!”
For some reason, it turned into a meeting to bully me, so lets just cut it off right here.
Any more than this, and Im at a disadvantage.
“Well, I guess we can just say its a good thing we found out now?”
“I suppose so. I will make sure to only use simple things like [Wind Bolt] and [Wind Blade] in front of people from now on too.”
“Were weapons. If Alec and I keep walking around with cheap swords forever, that might be suspicious too.”
“Should we go find suitable replacements, Master?”
Whoops, one more thing. Theres something I need to make sure of.
“Marle has her registration card now, so how about she goes to take the academys entrance test?”
“Im still tired from today, so I was thinking we could go tomorrow. And besides, if theres any studying I can do for the test, Id like to do that too.”
“Then how about we go to the guild and investigate? If were lucky, they might have last years exercise book or something.”
“Oh, that could be good.”
And so, that afternoon Alec and Haster went to the weapon shop, while Marle, Miss Levy and I went to the guild.
Oddly enough, it was split into the boys and the girls.

“Oh, its the three girls today? Been a while, Levy.”
“h.e.l.lo.”
“Yeah, well I aint gonna come by every day.”
“Miss Remy, youre at the reception desk again today?”
I almost feel like shes always the receptionist here
“Well, if I dont keep on the watch, a certain official who uses adventurers like consumable good is going to show up.”
She glanced behind her out of the side of her eyes.
At the end of her line of sight was a seemingly high-strung, uniformed, and frivolous feeling staff member.
“This city has a pile of adventurers after all. To keep us from doing anything unnecessary, the countrys observer comes by to monitor us.”
She covertly whispered to us.
I guess they cant really ignore the kind of power the guild has in a city filled with adventurers like this.
Its even possible the all-encompa.s.sing existence of the guild could rapidly turn on the country of Novelius itself at a moments notice. It would be impossible to suppress.
I guess it just makes sense they would place surveillance to meddle with the guild and make sure they dont get out of control.
By weakening the power of the adventurers In other words, sending them to their deaths and reducing their numbers for example.
For Miss Remy, who is acting in direct operation of the guild, that is extremely troublesome.
“I understand their thinking, but That just smells fishy. I dont like it.”
“Sure does. Any quests they hand out are the requests ya just barely have the abilities for. They aint very well liked for it.”
“You and your group should watch out for them too, Yuurin. With that said, lets get back to business. What would you like today?”
Miss Remy quickly pulled her features together and switched to business mode. Just what you would expect from a professional.
Although she does give off a slightly overly-friendly feeling.
In any case, Marles exam comes first for now.
“You know she wants to enter the academy, right? We actually wanted to know what kind of tests there were in the past, or what they tend towards. We were wondering if you had that kind of info here.”
“Oho, you sure do know how to use the guild, Yuurin. Naturally, we do have records of the previous exams here.”
“Then we would like”
“Of course you know its not free, right?”
“Urk?! How much is it?”
Leave it to the veteran receptionist. I guess we cant just get it at no cost, huh?
“Aww, dont be all stingy, Remy. Yall are gonna take money from a little girl like this?”
“Whether it be this girl or any other girl, the guilds services come at a price. In any case, the overview would cost 10 silver coins. Detailed info is 30 silver coins.”
“Cant we get half off or somethin?”
“If you plan on making up the difference, then sure, half is fine.”
“Well shoot, I aint been gettin much income lately”
Miss Levys attempt at a.s.sistance tragically sunk.
Although yesterdays reward will pay for it, its a fair bit. Well, 30 coins isnt really a big deal though.
“Well then, well pay 30 coins; give us the detailed”
“Ah, let me pay, Yuuri.”
“This isnt really a big deal for me, you know?”
“I wasnt any use at all this time, so even having you pay for me would make me feel bad.”
Saying she was “no use at all” has to be a joke. The fact she helped us avoid a surprise attack the first day was a huge value.
She has a strong sense of caution, making her area of area of view much wider than the more rough Alec and Haster.
Now that I think about it, she was kidnapped by those bandits when she was 8 because she found them hiding, didnt she.
“Its thanks to you that we managed to avoid a surprise attack the first day. You were very far from unhelpful.”
“Even if thats so, this is an expense for my sake. It only makes sense that I pay, doesnt it?”
Hrmm, shes bringing sense into this? My demanding to make the payment myself would probably just make her mood bad. I may as well yield this one.
If were too overprotective of her, it might make her end up feeling like a guest with us.
And feeling like a guest is something Im sure she wouldnt want either.
“I understand. But Im only giving this to you because I think of you as a companion, okay?”
“Thank you, Yuuri.”
Normally this would probably be the scene where we clasps hands together, but I cant very easily touch Marle yet, so that thought is rejected. How unfortunate.
My social phobia has gotten considerably better, but complete recovery is still far away.
“Female friends.h.i.+p is so nice. Ahh, youth.”
“Eh, aint we got somethin like that too?”
“What ever might you be speaking of?”
“Yknow, the letter”
“On principle, I try not to look back at the past.”
“What in the h.e.l.l! Gimme back those feelings I had, yhear?!”
“Well its embarra.s.sing to say it straight out, isnt it?”
Looks like theres plenty of youth over there too, huh?

The file given to us by Miss Remy described five years worth of academic test problems, as well as physical and magical strength tasks.
Naturally theres no need to clear all of them, but the policy appears to be in investigating your abilities, listening to your desires, and then in deciding your course through the exam.
As a result, if you clear the exam for your desired course, you pa.s.s. If not, then you can either choose to change your course, or retake the exam.
“For the academic exam, either me or Has Al should be able to help. Physical strength and magic should probably be left to Al. After all, Aleahem Bern is bad at teaching things.”
“Thats not true, is it? A, Sir Bern is good enough that he seems suited to being a teacher.”
“Really now? In that case, how about we leave that to Bern, and have you take the exam in about a week? Well make certain to get everything into you by then.”
If we have that long, her training should be showing results by then.
And in the worst case, if we dont make it in time, we could have her drink the “Dragons Blood”
“Miss Remy, would we still make it in time?”
“The deadline is in three weeks, so that would leave plenty of time.”
“Then we will go with that. Well train your physical abilities in the labyrinth. On rest days youll be studying history and magic with me.”
“Got it!”

And so, we gave it our all as we prepared Marle for her exams.
