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.
