Lets stay calm.

He could smell death.

The time left until the collision was at most one second, and this time, Shirones heart couldnt help but race.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Intense electrical impulses hit his brain, and Shirone quickly readjusted his omnipotence and omniscience to repair his Spirit Zone which had been shaken by Marks shrill screams.

He was not yet dead, so with that in mind, Shirone narrowed his eyes at the iron structure that wished to swallow him whole.

Think.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Was that enough? alert No, not yet.

That took a tenth of a second.

Shirone thought to himself.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

A hundredth of a second.

He thought faster.

He reconstructed the internal structure of the Dragons Labyrinth and simulated exactly how it went in his mind in order to find a way out.

A thousandth of a second.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Right as Shirone was about to begin a new simulation, the Dragon’s Labyrinth devoured them both.

No. athlete It would be possible alone, but with Mark? harbor I have to find another route

There were 6 roads in front of him. album Shirone needed to link nine teleports in order to escape.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Sharelles scream was the loudest among them.

BOOOOOOOM!

The sound wave in the narrow space sounded like the screams of Shirone and Mark.

Many students turned their heads, and some even screamed.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Despite only being given ten-thousandth of a second, a time which was too faint to be perceived with insight, Shirone somehow managed to analyze all the patterns and teleport accordingly.

A single flash of light pierced through the Dragons Labyrinth. atomic And in a flash of dazzling light, Shirone crossed the finish line.

Hahh Hahh.

ten-thousandth of a second.

Ethella cast Spatial Warp towards where Siena had left in search of Thadd, and shortly thereafter, the engine system turned off, and a voice echoed out.

Shirone dropped Mark onto the ground and walked a few more steps. acid But his body couldn’t take it anymore, so he ended up curled up on the ground. admire There was no place in his body that was not overloaded and aching.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Shortly after the empty voice of the machine sounded out, the movement of the iron bar slowed to a stop, and the vine-like structure returned back to how it was initially.

The upperclassmen from the Advanced class were the first to speak up.

All the students had uniform thoughts.

Wh-What the

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Huh? orbit Why are they all staring at me?!

No way. wizard This is absurd. afford That was level 10. legend He passed the Dragons Labyrinth

Is that really possible?

Awakened by the students voices, Shirone took a second to look around.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

As his head started to clear, and everything came crashing down, Shirone’s eyes got teary as his lips trembled.

Wahhhh I really thought I was going to die.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Sharelle pulled Amy in for a hug and cried out.

Considering it was said by a person who just made history, the remark was almost too tasteless and uncool.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Congratulations! adjust You were really cool!

Shirone did it! acid Your boyfriend really did it!

Students shoved each other around to reach Shirone in order to congratulate him.

It wouldve been better if she didnt mention the boyfriend part, but Amy let it go this time after feeling her teary friends sincerity.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

While Shirone was busy getting praised, the instructors that had gone to the engine room returned With Maria in tow.

Siena first looked Shirone up and down.

Though he did seem distracted by the surrounding students, he did not seem to be seriously injured.

So I guess youre going to be promoted to Class 5 now. advance Hahaha! apron Class 6 kids are going to go green with envy.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

As you know Actually, no you probably dont, but I did my best.

Sighing, Siena headed towards Alpheas.

He passed the Dragons Labyrinth? apron How in the world did he do that? anxiety Even the Advanced Class kids have to practice dozens of times.

She narrowed her eyes at the person who made her miss such a historical moment. legend Thadd just shrugged his shoulders and made an excuse.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Siena stopped when she saw that Alpheas eyes, which always shone with intelligence, were deep in sorrow.

Headmaster, lets first announce the win

It was unlikely, but since Shirone and Mark came in at the same time, Siena thought it would be better to clearly announce the results so that there would be no arguments later on.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Is something wrong?

Ill do it. orbit He seems to have a lot on his mind right now.

Thadd approached fast.

What? Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. attic There were no casualties or major injuries, though.

As someone who knew of Alpheas past, he understood his teachers feelings.

Thadd fell silent.

Yes, but

The House of Myrhes Light.

The sight of Shirones witty and lively appearance must have reminded him of his youth.

Dont blame yourself. altitude Its not anyones fault.

Alpheas was famous because he redefined photons.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

What would have happened if he hadnt wandered through the dark for 10 years due to a single mistake?

If that hadnt happened

Its an old theory now, but at the time, his idea was so unprecedented and so shocking that it even won him the Gold Circle Award, an award bestowed upon him by the Emperor.

However, it was that brilliant talent of his that plunged young Alpheas into the depths of despair.

Alpheas would have become an archmage etched in history.

Headmaster, a word, please? artist A man of talent who will brighten the future of this academy has appeared.

Thadd tried to put up a bright face.

The upperclassmen started clapping, followed by the lowerclassmen.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

There really is such a thing as a genius.

It wasnt a matter of talent.

The scene in which Shirone cast teleportation at an incredible speed during the Dragons Labyrinth stage was still vividly etched in his mind.

No one could possibly grumble about Shirones early promotion now. crystal Even Mark had to admit his loss.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Most of the students knew of the existence of Marks operation team, so there was no way Shirone, who experienced it first-hand, did not know of it. aspect But Mark was prepared.

Mark wobbled over to Shirone with his trembling legs.

At this point, I cant even make an excuse.

Most would get intimidated and retreat when faced with a near-impossible situation, but there were also those who didnt run.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

It was certainly out of the ordinary for a belligerent man like him to admit his defeat.

I lost. arch I wont ask you to forgive me, I dont deserve it. admire But do know I will take responsibility for my actions.

On the other hand, Shirone thought that since Mark had no way out of this and had to accept it, he was trying to keep his pride and face by bearing with it.

Shirone looked at him.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

All right. antenna You worked hard. antique I hope you do better from now on. auction As a person.

Congratulations, upperclassman. adapt You were awesome.

He had many complicated feelings regarding the issue, but Shirone wanted to leave the rest of it for the academy to deal with.

And Seeing how Mark raised the white flag, other Class 7 students began to give congratulatory words to him.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Congrats. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Amy smiled subtly.

Having proven his skills, no one from Class 7 even thought of treating him as someone from Class 7.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Already? auction You should stay with your boyfriend on a special day like this one.

Lets go, Sharelle.

And after staring at Shirone for a while more, she turned around.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Amy.

You sure its okay to just leave like this?

Her steps were heavy for she did not want to leave yet, but she knew that in order to respect Shirones resolve and meet it, she had to go and train.

I dont have time for that. alpha Since Shirone succeeded, its now my turn. timber I have to prepare for the promotion exam.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Did he just call her by name?

When she turned around, their eyes met. harbor The students around them murmured with surprised faces.

Amy flinched when Shirone called.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

I mean, even then, Amy is still an upperclassman

Amy, who had never given up her place as 1st, was more than just a simple upperclassman.

Of course. galaxy Arent they dating?

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Haha

Now there are only two steps left.

She was considered to be more than skilled enough to enter the Advanced Class. absorb That was why this situation was quite a surprise for them.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Around the time the Advanced Class students started dispersing, Thadd approached Alpheas.

Amy turned around and walked down the mountain with Sharelle hot on her heels.

If she passed the Advanced Class promotion exam, the gap between Shirone and herself would be two classes.

A corner of Amys lips lifted up.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Thadd reported everything that happened in the engine room.

Headmaster, I have something to discuss regarding Mary.

I see. shadow What made you decide to do such a thing

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Hmm.

Alpheas sank deep in thought.

Im sorry. amber Ive made an irrevocable mistake. aluminum I will accept any punishment readily.

Maria bent over 90 degrees.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Then first

Of course, disciplinary action was unavoidable, but there was much to consider due to the harassment she faced.

And there stood Mark.

I have something to confess. arch Everything that happened today was because of me.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

What do you mean?

Siena spoke.

Even so, there is a problem with Marias behavior. armor But why are you doing this?

I really got under Marias skin this morning. atlas In fact, if I were in her shoes, I would have flipped out as well. attic Ill take her punishment. arch Im the one who caused all of this.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

I was overwhelmed in terms of skill.

The way Shirone jumped over walls he had yet to overcome made him envious.

And that aside, the other kids know it too, anyway. advance Continuing to keep my mouth shut like a petty loser will only serve to embarrass me. acquire Also, I was the one who came up with the plan to keep Shirone in check.

I know Im a shitty person, but Im not a coward. alpha Ill take full responsibility for my actions as well as the actions of those under me. arrow Everything I did, I did knowingly.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

She must have been under severe stress due to the constant bullying. atlas Think about it. meadow To do such a thing, she mustve lost her mind for a second.

In any case, thats what happened. altitude I will take the heat. amber But please let it slide for the other kids. antenna Especially Maria

Glancing once at Maria, Mark spoke again.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Teacher This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Although her grades werent the best, she was an aspirant mage who had been training for a longer period of time. armor Longer than most people in the academy However, she made an awful mistake and was on the brink of being expelled.

Alpheas pondered for a long time about Maria.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

You will both be referred to the disciplinary committee. alien Maria is guilty of interfering with the test by illicitly operating the engine system. apple Her actions caused unnecessary risks. academy However, since Mark gave rise to the whole situation, we will take that into account and deal with the punishments accordingly.

Thadd looked at him with sad eyes.

As Mark and Maria lowered their heads, other students from Class 7 also started raising their hands one by one.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

When all the students raised their hands, Siena spoke out, concerned.

I joined the operation team and attacked Shirone.

I did something bad, too.

Um, I also bullied Maria. alien I think that makes me responsible for this as well.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

These punks! antenna If youre going to act like this, why bother breaking the rules in the first place

Enough.

The students did not back down.

This is not a class meeting. amateur You broke the rules. arena And since youre all confessing, you will be punished.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Since Shirone showed such an amazing performance, one at the level of an Advanced Class student, Im sure they felt and learned something.

Alpheas held her back.

But theres also that mob mentality. harbor I think they think that if they hold out and confess together, theyll end up fine and with no punishment. antique Do you really think thats repenting for their mistakes?

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Come to think of it, I think I see an adorable side to Ms. timber Siena.

Alpheas only smiled and let out a small laugh.

Siena closed her mouth shut.

……?

To shoulder all responsibilities together. crystal Such a thing can barely be seen in Class 4, let alone in the Advanced Class. audit Look how all of them are growing up like that. acoustic So, well, I dont exactly hate it. accent If only everyone in the world had this level of belief and conviction The world would be much different. autumn Though I suppose the question is whether they can keep this level throughout their lives.

Dont expect much from humans. alien Humans are humans. aluminum There is no one who is only bad and no one who is only good. voyage Even if they didnt plan on repenting, at least they have a strong enough conscience to confess. palette And considering they did confess, Im sure theyre ready to accept responsibility as well as disciplinary action.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

A few were startled, but after looking at each other, they answered.

I understand. arch In other words, you guys are saying its okay to punish everyone, is that right?

Alpheas walked up to the students.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Great. attic Ill reveal the details of your punishment right now. atomic The entirety of Class 7 will be placed under probation for a month.

A corner of Alpheas mouth rose up.

Yes!

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

What?! Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

The students were surprised, but the instructors were shocked.

But Headmaster, words of complaint will come from the students families. audit This will also cause conflict with the class progress

Not only was the period long, but this punishment meant that Class 7 would be shut down altogether.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

The rest of the students stood stunned.

Alpheas cut the instructors words and stared at Shirone, who stood a little away from the group.

Ill be responsible for that.

He looked like he had something to say, but in the end, he gave a small smile and went down the mountain.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

One month

I-It doesnt matter! adapt Were under probation together. atom None of us can take a class.

They felt woozy for a second, but they didnt feel afraid.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

The students calmed down a bit.

Haha! afford So what now? silence Do we get to play around and relax starting today?

Yeah. airport Its much better than something like a three-day suspension. adopt After all, probation is not even written in our academic record.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Huh? alpha Um Thats

Yeah, lets! beacon Maria, youre coming too, right?

As if! athlete I have to stay up all night in the library. silence Why dont we all get together and study?

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

Yes, Ill join.

Maria was conscious of what the instructors might think.

Thadd simply smiled and nodded his head. adopt Maria then smiled and spoke shyly with teary eyes.

Thadd felt happy as he watched the scene. avalanche It would be awkward at first, but as long as the punishment kept the kids together, she would be fine.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

We say the world is about luck But once you give up, even that string of luck will be of no help.

Were you aiming for this? acid You are always a step ahead of me, teacher.

If Maria hadnt really loved magic, would she have survived that long in Class 7?

Perhaps this situation was a miraculous opportunity for Maria. timber One that would never come again in her life Just like how becoming the student of Alpheas was for Thadd.

Translation of Infinite Mage - Chapter 38: The Uncrossable Bridge (4) by Indra Translations.

As long as one held on strong and persevered, opportunity was bound to come knocking eventually.

Although the world was unfair, Thadd thought it was worth living for that reason.
