I don't know what to say other than: this series is special, please read it despite the clunkiness; and damn does Oliver has one of the saddest backstories of any MC I've read about. His mission might not bring him peace, but as long as it brings peace for others... There's a lot of heavy stuff here

HOLY
SHIT

Après plusieurs volumes parfois laborieux, on a ici un fantastique tome pour conclure la 3e année.
2 fois plus long que les précédents et pourtant je l'ai lu encore plus vite.

Il faut dire qu'il y a beaucoup de choses, et plein de bonnes idées : on commence en donnant du développement au groupe, en particulier à Katie en racontant sa backstory et en mettant en perspective sa personnalité autodestructrice.

On continue avec la finale du tournoi, côté 6 & 7 années. Le combat de Miligan est pas exceptionnel mais assez divertissant donc ça passe. Le highlight c'est surtout le combat de l'équipe Godfrey contre celle de l'ancien conseil, un dernier baroud d'honneur pour eux et soudainement la plupart des persos sont queers, bravo à eux. En vrai je rigole mais c'est casé de façon assez naturelle et sans faire de forçage donc c'est cool que ce soit vraiment intégré à cet univers de façon explicite.

Oliver et Nanao enfin en couple !!! Ou alors juste sex-friends mais eh c'est un début et je suis content qu'ils ne fassent pas que se tourner autour comme depuis le début.

Et c'est pas fini parce qu'ensuite c'est l'affrontement contre Demitrio Aristides, la 3e cible d'Oliver. Sa backstory est intéressante et donne du poids à la menace des tìrs, et le combat est super prenant notamment du fait qu'ils ont tous les 2 une Spellblades. Ce combat est aussi l'occasion de raconter toute la backstory d'Oliver qu'on attendait depuis longtemps, et évidemment elle est absolument ATROCE. Bon déjà les mamans qui meurent moi ça me rend triste mais alors la combo maltraitance des grands-parents + lol on l'hypnotise pour qu'il mette sa cousine enceinte alors qu'ils sont mineurs, grosse ambiance. Je suis pas toujours à l'aise avec les éléments sexuels dans cette série, ni toujours convaincu de leur pertinence, mais j'ai la vision de la famille aristo tellement raciste qu'elle veut pas que son sang se "dilue" et qui donne dans la consanguinité. Disons que la série ne met pas de doute sur à quel point c'est horrible et absurde, couplé au vocabulaire un peu fleuri, ça aide à faire passer le truc. En tout cas c'était attendu depuis longtemps et ça remet pas mal la série en perspective. On voit maintenant qu'Oliver est vraiment un gamin profondément traumatisé qui se reconstruit petit à petit grâce à ses proches face à une société conservatrice de zinzins.

Bonus par ailleurs ça tease des éléments vis à vis d'Esmeralda qui prend un peu en galon, ce qui fait pas de mal vu qu'elle sera vraisemblablement le "boss final" !

كثر مجلد في هذه الرواية اعطاني مشاعر مختلفة من السعادة الى الحزن والكره شديد .

الفصل ألاول والثاني : مسابقة الدوري لي السنة السابعة والسادسة - المقدمة من وجهة نظر ليونسيو.

اخذ مني ايام عشان انتهي منه ولأنه طويل جدا,فوق 200 الف حرف.

第一章 自然の理

الفصل ألاول عن معركة فريق ميلقان ضد فريق ديشان. ميلقان خبيثة وتستخدم خدع وتقلب قوانين مبارة "بامور نقدر نمشيها عشانها صارت من قبل" وتهز العدو بماضي مؤثر وفالنهاية تخدعه اقدر اقول انها حتى سوت عملية في ظهرها عشان تفوز و تصير مشرفة

طبعا فازت بالمبارة لكن فالتصويت خسرت

بس عجبتني طريقتها انقذت زميلاتها من العالم اخر,واستخدام طرق مختلفة عن معارك السابقة . وصراحة من اخر مرة شفنا قتال ميلقان كان بالمجلد الثالث.

الجزء الاول من فصل 1 الماضي كاتي وسبب انها غير طبيعية اتجاه حيوانات السحرية والانصاف وعن والديها

صدمني اقتراح ماركو ,بانها اذا اصبحت ام ولديها شيئ مهم راح تقدر تمنع نفسها من الوقوع في الظلام ..وهنا بيت اعطاها خيار هو او جاي او اوليفر

فالنهاية نقاش تأجل ,لكن اقدر انه رغبة بيت انه يربط كينكدان مع بعض للابد ,لانه خط صداقة يمكن ينتهي .

موما بيت يهدف لأنقاذ اصدقائه حتى لو ربطهم وعذبهم. ودي اعرف كيف بتكون ردة فعله عن اوليفر و ناناو

第二章 宿敵

المعركة النهائية لتحديد حزب الجديد لمجلس الطلبة.

اقدر اقول انها نهاية عدواة لمدة سبعة سنين وجنون ,ماعرف اوصف جيد لكن انها ممتعة جداً ___________________ عموما الفصل قصير ويطلع الماضي جينو وجنون كيرقي كا دراك ايلف وقصة ليونسيو انها كان يبغا يدمر المثالية وانه وكل هدفه لي حزب جودفري.

اهم حدث معركة جينو كميائي ضد كميائي السام تيم لينتون تيم قوي من ناحية تحمل السموم والكحول لذا هجوم جينو في بداية ماكان ناجح الا انه بالنهاية نجح بسبب امور غير متوقعة

حتى الطلاب فالقصة نفسهم قالو انها معركة لا تنسى يس يس اتفق معهم.

--

الفصل الثالث

اغلبه عن مشاهد بين ناناو و اوليفر

ومحادثة كاتي مع ميلقان في البار

شيلا وبيت ينقاشون هدف تيكدان ومارغبتهم

الرابع

مايحتاج اقول انه مأساة وقاسي جدا ماضي اوليفر ومعلم ديمتري

لكن اكتشفنا انهم قتلو كلوي لسبب وجيه هل هي عدوة متحالفة مع عالم اخر؟
ام هناك سبب غير عقلانية للمديرة ؟

This was a rather heavy story, interesting, and some great character developments for the Sword Roses as well as a peek into Oliver's past, but even darker than I expected which is saying something considering the nature of the world. This volume is not for the faint of heart. I would almost have expected a trigger warning. I am glad the tournament is finally finished, and rather early in the book at that. It is a trope that I tend to dislike. There is also a bit too much talking/flashbacks for my taste in the actual fights, even if they at least add a good in story reason for it. It still messes up the pacing for me, but if you don't mind such lengthy breaks in the middle of a tense fight, than it is clearly not an issue. Still, a great addition to the series and I am both eager (and afraid) to see where things are going...

I'm not gonna lie, the combat leagues storyline has dragged a bit at times, but thankfully it wraps up with a bang in volume 10.

First up, we get some backstory on Katie while the Sword Roses try to figure out what to do with her after what she did at the end of volume 9. Then, our friendly neighborhood mad scientist Vera Miligan pulls out all the stops leading a finalist team with Lynette Cornwallis and a new character, Zoe Colonna. Their very conventional opponent Gwenaël Deschamps comes off like the straight man in a physical comedy routine: Miligan's up to her old tricks and a few new ones, and it's the funniest goddamn thing I've ever read in this series.

Next up, the long-awaited final rematch between the Kimberly Campus Watch and the old council. I'm not gonna lie, this one was a little underwhelming after the mind-bender of a match Miligan put on: the actual action unfortunately isn't much to write home about. On the other hand there's an absolutely staggering amount of homoeroticism between all three Watch leaders and their counterparts—Top Gun would blush, I swear to God—which is novel enough I'll give Bokuto Uno a pass on the actual fight.

After that, more comedy, this time the conclusion of the election for student council president with a surprise winner, then Teresa Carste gets jelly over Nanao forcing herself on Oliver last volume. She goes after her in the labyrinth—and then our hypercompetent little spy has to run away with her tail between her legs because of course she does, it's frickin' Nanao, yo! And then she catches up with Oliver and—Oh, be still my heart, they're finally together.

Finally, the payoff for the Demitrio Aristides storyline. Oliver and his comrades go for their fourth target. What follows sheds clarity on any number of scenes from Oliver's past we only flashed back to before. All the students we've met who are hurting inside? They've got nothing on Oliver: this poor guy is so comprehensively screwed-up it's a wonder he's even halfway sane. In terms of writing, without going into too many spoilers, I've had mostly negative reactions to the use of sexual violence in light novels in the past: all too often it comes off like somebody on the production team either has a noncon fetish they're barely keeping under control or is just using it as a bludgeon to make their hero look more heroic. Bokuto Uno nailed it: the scene in question is horrifying to read, and deservedly so.

11/10 would recommend to any dark fantasy fan. Keep up the good work, Bokuto-sensei, I can't wait for Volume 11 next month.
