Mahouka Koukou no Re Volume 5 - Ch 4

This chapter is updated by Novels.pl

Third High School, which is affiliated with the National Magic University, is located outside Kanazawa City in the Ishikawa Prefecture. Because of the wide scale shift of district lines under the current district system, it is properly called the "forr Ishikawa Prefecture," but people, including the mass dia, normally refer to forr prefectures and their capitals by their old nas.

Kichijouji was a world renowned magic researcher as well a first year high school student, so hed been chosen as a mber of Third High Schools representatives. His personal preparations had begun before sumr vacation, but ever since the Nine Schools Competition had ended, he had beco overzealous about writing his manuscript

even he himself felt so.

He was also aware of the reason.
