After suffering a lot of hardships and setbacks, Shirone, Neid, and Eruki have finally managed to set their plan in motion. As we saw in the last chapters, Shirone’s group has been on a mission to show spirits to all the students in their school.
The terrified reactions of all the students after seeing the spirits make these efforts worth it. Now that the plan has finally succeeded, What will be Shirone’s next step? Find out in Infinite Mage Chapter 58!
Infinite Mage Chapter 57 opens up with Shirone and his group starting their preparations as soon as the clock strikes 11:30 PM. As we have already seen in the last chapter, the main objective of Shirone’s research group is to make everyone in the school see spirits during the night so that they can prove their presentation to be true.
Recap
To carry out their plan, Neid installed hundreds of Holgram projectors all over the school and connected those projectors to Eruki’s movement predicting program. Eruki states that they need to look out for the time because they have to show everyone a ghost at exactly midnight. Neid prepares the program and signals Shirone to supply the magic.
Shirone begins supplying magic to the program. Eruki and Neid are impressed by such an incredible output of magic, but Shirone suddenly starts feeling strange. Shirone says that he feels as if he’s pouring magic into a bottomless well, and this statement sends Eruki and Neid into a panic.
Neid hurries to the machine and finds that the output isn’t increasing, which is a huge problem. Eruki tells Neid to fix the problem as soon as possible, but Neid fails to even figure out the issue because his calculations are already perfect. The time turns to 11:59 PM, which means that only one minute remains till midnight.
With so little time left on the clock, Eruki declares the operation as a failure. Neid cries and apologizes because he believes that this is all his fault, and now their group will become a laughing stock because of him. Controlling the tears rolling down his eyes, Neid stops Shirone from pouring magic into the program, but Shirone refuses to do so.
Shirone says that they all have worked hard to arrive at this point, so he can’t just back out now. Eruki tells Neid to stop Shirone, or he’ll use the immortal function, but it’s too late. Shirone goes into an unconscious state and stops responding.
Neid and Eruki try to stop Shirone from using magic, but they fail to do so. They start crying because they can give up on the research group, but they can never afford to lose Shirone. Shirone remembers the words of Sir Armin that he will never disappear as long as he remembers who he is, and with those words, Shirone stops himself from disappearing despite using the immortal function.
Shirone snaps out of the temporary unconscious state and immediately asks Neid to check the gauge. Neid is shocked to find that the gauge has been filled, so he immediately tells Eruki to start the holograms. After all that trouble and effort, the plan is finally set in motion.
The clock strikes midnight, and the focus shifts to the girl’s dorm with all the girls doing their normal bedtime routine, but little do they know, horror is about to be unleashed on them.
Maria finishes her studies for the day and prepares to go to sleep when she suddenly remembers Shirone’s presentation. She feels a bit scared because it’s midnight, and Shirone said that spirits appear at this time.
Maria laughs and thinks that it was all a joke, but she gets proven wrong almost immediately. An ugly spirit appears outside Maria’s dorm window, and this frightens Maria, and she runs out of her dorm while screaming. Amy also experiences something similar, but the only difference is that the spirit smiles while looking at her, which could be Shirone’s addition.
Amy runs out of her room and finds that even Cerielle has seen a spirit in her room. Cerielle and Amy hold each other’s hands and eventually realize that Shirone’s presentation has finally come true. They slowly turn around and find a horde of spirits marching toward them. Scared by this sudden encounter, all the girls in the dorm ran away shouting.
