The Academy's Glossary

This section is reserved for the explanation of some terms so that wisdom translated from the language of old is not lost. Mainly it shall house words that carry on double meanings, of words and phrases that are written differently and read differently.

Organizations and various groups of people


Dullahan (デュラハン) - It's written as "Witch Hunter" (魔女狩り) and read as "Dullahan". A reference to a legendary headless creature from Irish mythology.
Seelie (シーリー) - It's written as "Doctor" (隠密) and read as "Seelie". A reference to a type of good spirits from Scottish folklore.


Valhalla (ヴァルハラ)  - It's written as "Fantasy Cult" (幻想教団) and read as Valhalla, references to a location in Norse mythology.

Character specific:

Takeru and Kanaria's:

Soumatou (そうまとう) - It's written as "Magic-Sweeping Sword" (掃魔刀) and read as "Soumatou" (そうまとう). The "Soumatou" is a reference to "Revolving Lantern" (走馬灯) and how it's sometimes associated with the phenomenon of "life flashing before your eyes" during the near-death experiences.




Stardust Aurora (スターダスト・アウローラ) - It's written "Auroral Meteor Shower" (極光流星群) and read as "Stardust Aurora".





Geirskögul (ゲインスケルグ ) - The kanji it's written with is just "Spear" (槍) and its read as Geirskögul (author was slightly off with katakana pronunciation). In old Norse it means Old Norse "spear-skögul", it's a name of one of the Valkyries, one who is associated with spears.




Section still in construction.

This section is a part of the Great Editing Time event that is to come to the world of AntiMagic Academy. The event shall result in erasing of all or almost all furigana from the text. The double meanings explanations shall be moved to the glossary under the chapter when they appear for the first time (example), after which they will not reappear, but be easily accessible in this glossary.

Note: AntiMagic Academy Volume 10 translations shall be written in the new convention and will be the first one to be subjected to the new doctrine.

      No, it's purely a glossary for double meanings and differences as furigana is retiring for the sake of readability.
