Recently I had the privilege of visiting two schools, Motu and Waerenga o Kuri, to film their journey into understanding, responding to, and planning for Māori to achieve success as Māori in their schools.
Both schools have a high percentage of Māori students who are achieving at or above National Standards level. This led to the question — "If our Māori students are already succeeding what else do we need to do?" It is a question that is important. If most of your Māori students are succeeding, is that enough? Are they succeeding as Māori?
Professor Mason Durie (2003) explains, "As Māori [means] being able to have access to te ao Māori, the Māori world — access to language, culture, marae… tikanga… and resources… If after twelve or so years of formal education, a Māori youth were totally unprepared to interact within te ao Māori, then, no matter what else had been learned, education would have been incomplete."
The 2010 ERO report highlights that not all educators have yet recognised their professional responsibility to provide a learning environment that promotes success for Māori students.So what does Māori achieving success as Māori look like? How in English medium schools should we address this?
developing new, and expanding current teaching and learning approaches that are engaging, effective, and enjoyable for all Māori students.
growing knowledge and evidence of what works to support excellent educational and Māori language outcomes.
developing productive partnerships with parents, families and whānau, iwi, and community that are responsive and reciprocal – leading to shared action, outcomes, and solutions.
The intent of The New Zealand Curriculum is that schools develop curricula for their own students that are challenging, engaging, and relevant. Building into the curriculum aspects that have particular significance for school communities ensures that learning has meaning for students, and is supported by their families and the wider community. Thus, each school's curriculum is a bespoke piece of collective thinking about what matters to them at particular points in time. (ERO, 2012).
With the support of Learning with Digital Technologies facilitators, Kathe Tawhiwhirangi and Trevor Bond, the schools engaged with their BOT and local community to unpack the aims of Ka Hikitia.
For Motu and Waerenga o Kuri schools, the consultation process with the community, in particular Māori parents and whānau, led to an agreed understanding of what Māori achieving success as Māori looked like in their schools. They used Tātaiako: Cultural competencies for teachers of Māori learners to create their own self-review framework.
Following a self-review, each school created their own strategic plan and school curriculum for reaching their identified ideals – placing the student at the centre of learning, while valuing and including te reo Māori, tikanga, and local Māori culture across the school curriculum. A key for parents has been having a say in what their children are learning. The result has been the creation of deep community connections where whānau feel welcomed, valued and involved in their child's learning.
Having focused discussions with their community that had student learning at the centre was a key in engaging parents and whānau.
Yvonne Nikora from Waerenga o Kuri explains the change it has made in her teaching approach.
What excites me in having visited these schools, spoken with students, teachers, parents, and BOT members is seeing real change occur. Change that is sustainable. Having a framework for Māori achieving success as Māori developed by the school in consultation with the community to self-review against has been key to this.

Chapter 160: Claude Lucanrant's Fragments (part two)
cloveeer	Novel, Shini Yasui Kōshaku Reijō to Shichi-nin no Kikōshi	 March 30, 2020 August 16, 2020 24 Minutes
WARNING: Torture
Also, this monster of a chapter is 28 pages long in MSWord, so pace yourself! This will be the last update for this series until the author updates the raw, so enjoy!
ED: eristol (will be edited by xtostos)
After losing his mother, Eduard often went outside of school.
It is being said that his interest has widened and he is also dabbling in ancient ruins investigations.
Taking along Elric or Brad to field investigations seems to have brought him some troubles.
He might have completely forgotten his deal with me, as he hasn't even searched for the archive.
Perhaps he didn't want to fulfill his promise to me, but that couldn't be helped.
When he was sad, I was useless, wasn't I?
Even someone like me still has such humane thoughts.
To begin with, searching for the Golden Wolf Prince is like catching clouds.
Then time passed and it was the third spring since I became friends with Eduard.
"Yo, Eduard."
"You're late, Claude."
I met up with Eduard and we walked around the school at midnight.
When we passed by the gazebo in the park near the West Dorm, I could smell the fragrant scent of flowers.
"…You mean, it moves underground periodically?"
"Aa, there are two possible reasons for that. First, an altar that hasn't been dealt with yet may be operating underground."
Just as I was about to give up, this guy approached me with a story about the headless prince.
"The other possibility is that an underling of the Lunatic King Cain is staying underground."
"'Underling', are you serious??"
"It appears that the wolf returns to the Lunatic King once its hunger is sated, so there is a chance that the school staff are experimenting on it."
"Satisfying its hunger? What do you mean by that?"
The hunger of a creature created by the Lunatic King.
Something like that can only be satisfied using human flesh and blood, which means—
"It's possible that they offer him blood in small quantity…or something. It's pretty dangerous."
"You mean, those Lindis' guys, they offer human blood to that monstro?"
That's a very blasphemous deed.
How are they going to take responsibility if something happens?
This is why those Hafan wizards cannot be trusted.
They are evil from their very core.
But, why did Eduard suddenly come to keep such a shady deal?
I wonder what made him change his mind, for some reason I'm concerned.
For a long time, he has been running away from everything that reminded him of his mother.
"Hey, you. Why did you suddenly find out about such a thing?"
Eduard smiled at my question.
Ever since his mother died, his smile had become unfathomable.
"I just got my hands on the materials. Currently, I'm making sure that the materials are usable."
"Then, as promised, lend them to me."
"Of course. But, because the security of the materials is low, could you give me a little bit of time?"
The security of the materials.
The way he said it made me a little bit uneasy, but I ignored that feeling.
"Aa, that's fine."
I still have a lot to ask.
But right now, there's no way I can broach the subject.
"So, how about it? Do you want to go now?"
"Haa?"
"I mean, I'm inviting you to sneak in and take a look at the face of the headless prince. Well, it doesn't have a face to look at though."
Eduard winked while whispering an unpleasant joke.
"Is that even possible? Or rather, if it is possible, aren't those Lindis' guys too careless?"
"Even if it's located underground, it is at least 400 meters below the ground. If something unexpected happens, there will be no immediate effect on the ground above."
In case of an emergency, the basement will be sealed and the incident will secretly be dealt with.
The exit can be sealed promptly, so they actually have a risk contingency, Eduard continued.
But, it also means that they are going to leave all the experimenters to die.
"…Doesn't that mean if someone makes a false report or something which leads them to seal the entrance, the guys from the school won't be able to come running in that easily?
"…Yeah, I think you're right about that."
Eduard looked as if he noticed it only after I told him so.
"Heeh, how convenient. We can use this to call out the guys we don't like and kill them."
"Don't ever use it for lynching. I hate that cruelty of yours."
Heh, I see.
I also hate your unhesitating humane righteousness and kindness.
You, who are favored by everyone, won't understand the depression of the unfavored me.
"Haha, then, why did you even agree to become my friend?"
I smirked at Eduard who scolded me while glaring.
"There's a lot to learn from you."
"Ah? What's with that. What are you learning from me?"
"That's a secret. If you hear it, you'll probably laugh."
Then, while cracking a joke with Eduard, I sneaked into the Phantom Beast Museum.
"This seems to be the blind spot. It's my first time entering this place."
"You're not interested in this kind of facility, huh. Like this museum, the library, or the alchemist's workshop."
"Aah? Did you say anything?"
"No, nevermind…ah right, you do bring some kind of snowsilver tool with you, no?"
"Aa, is this okay?"
I showed him my necklace.
A snowflake-shaped necklace I got from my father.
"That's enough. Now we will be able to break through that thing which even I can't dispel."
"That thing?"
"You'll understand once you see the real thing. Can you keep it in this pouch until halfway through?"
I put the necklace in the pouch I received from Eduard.
It seems to be a pouch that blocks the effect of snowsilver.
"Naturally, tonight is just a preliminary inspection. Do you understand?"
"Getting right into it now suits me just fine though."
"We'll formulate a thorough plan for next time. The remnants of the Lunatic King era, which are just within a day trip distance, are waiting."
Eduard grinned.
"Can't be helped. It will do for tonight."
"Yes, then, first of all, could you use the snowsilver necklace to break the magic that seals this door?"
Eduard pointed at the door at the end of the hallway.
It was physically chained.
When I put my hand on my sword intending to cut it off right away, Eduard shook his head and pointed at his wand.
Right, right, the wand of Unlock.
I don't like it, but since this is just a preliminary inspection, the iron rule is to leave behind as little evidence as we can.
I pressed my necklace against the door which had its chain unlocked.
I could hear the sound of glass breaking inside my head as I felt something invisible was broken.
Now then, the door is open.
"Haah~ for some reason, this feels kind of nostalgic."
"It's been a long time since I have done any kind of mischief with you, huh."
That night, I enjoyed doing some mischief with my bad friend after a long time.
☆originals on starrynightnovels.wordpress.com
Before the door was fully closed, I caught it and snapped the knob.
I silently slid into the room while the other party was under the illusion that the door was closed.
This is the most basic infiltration technique in Lucanrant.
I followed Brad and reached a pure white library.
"Heeh, so this is your secret."
Brad and Eduard finally noticed me and turned around.
"Sorry, Ed."
"No, it's not your fault. Since we don't normally consider that there is a classmate who is good at tailing."
"Eduard, you've promised to lend me the materials. Don't skulk around anymore."
I ignored their interaction and pulled a book out of the nearest bookshelf.
I flipped through the pages of the white book, but everything was blank.
What the heck is this?
"I said I would lend it to you, but I never promised to invite you here, Claude."
"You know that I need to find out more about that thing."
The headless corpse under the Phantom Beast Museum.
I know where it is, but I want to make sure that it really is the Golden Wolf Prince.
That's why I need to find out about what happened after the downfall of the Lunatic King's domination.
"I want to investigate a little bit more about the safety of the materials here."
"Heeh~ is it that dangerous?"
"Apparently the vampire-related things are the real deal, and it seems it will be life-threatening if one carelessly gets involved."
Genuine materials about those bloodsuckers?
I wanted to know about the tendency of those bloodsuckers and wizards.
"I'm not interested in letting those bloodsuckers prowl around everywhere. You know that."
"Besides, the librarian is a tough nut to crack. And I think her compatibility with you is especially the worst."
"Librarian?"
Eduard silently pointed upwards.
There was a girl who was hanging upside-down from the ceiling.
『Don't steal, you savage.』
The woman said as she looked at me with an air as if looking at garbage.
—Not a human, huh?
Instead of answering, I jumped lightly and slashed her with my steel sword.
『What do you think you're doing! You nasty savage! 』
The woman, who I thought was done for, had moved to another spot.
The reaction is surprisingly fast.
『I'll tell you this, you stupid fool.』
"Tch, so annoying…"
『Those who laugh at fate will be ridiculed by fate! You should lament over your own self now!!』
After saying that, the upside-down woman disappeared without a trace.
I intended to give it another shot, but I missed my chance.
Even so, that was an ominous remark.
I landed on the floor and asked Eduard.
"What's with that weird woman? I mean, what the heck is she talking about?"
"That's the artificial spirit that acts as the librarian in this archive. It seems that the artificial intelligence of the artificial spirit is a generous feature that will give you the most suitable advice."
"I need to borrow the material while keeping an eye on that girl's mood, so do you mind having a conversation with that girl again?"
"What did you say~~~~?!"
My voice echoed in the white archive.
"…As I thought, they seem to have the worst compatibility, Ed…"
"Yeah. That is as clear as day."
Brad and Eduard nodded while exhaling deeply.
"Aah–? You guys are talking like you knew something!"
"You see, Brad…"
"The person himself doesn't realize it, huh…"
Both of them stared at me with exasperated expressions.
The life of placating the shitty woman and grabbing the materials continued.
Although it was troublesome, the connection between the headless prince and the Golden Wolf Prince has finally turned up.
Several vampire cases have been tentatively concluded as done by someone called the One who greedily devours death.
The lines connecting the points of occurrence coincide with the places associated with the Golden Wolf Prince.
The place where the machining was performed on the Golden Wolf Prince.
The land where the decisive battle between the Golden Wolf Prince and the Eastern Witch took place.
The place where the Golden Wolf Prince was last spotted.
The gently curved line from there leads here, to Lindis—in other words, the Morgue of the Headless Prince.
As expected, and my conviction that the school is the hiding place deepened.
The last case related to the One who greedily devours death has occurred in a village near Lindis.
The vampire who devoured all the villagers disguised itself as a surviving nun and escaped.
That is also the origin of the ghost story about the Bloody Saint.
Seems like it can be used for something.
Maybe I can use it to smoke out the vampire in question, catch them and make them spit out the information?
"I don't think that's a bad idea, but I'm not sure. For the time being, guess I will proceed straightforwardly…"
I carefully examined the variations of the folktale about the Golden Wolf Prince.
And while at it, the anecdotes about the Seven Wonders of this academy were also examined.
I opened my red leather notebook and copied the information in clumsy letters.
Right after I closed the book, the resident of the room next to mine came over.
"Claude-sama, your luggage was wrongly delivered to my place."
"Oh, thanks."
I picked it up and looked at the luggage.
The sender is Earl Wynt.
If I remember correctly, the model for that librarian is called Dolores Wynt.
Then, this is the father of that Dolores, huh.
—Why the heck did he send this to me?
"Well, I suppose I should take a look."
What was packed there was a bunch of letters.
Letters exchanged between the deceased Frederica Bort and the deceased Dolores Wynt.
And a set consisting of special ink and powders, that are also used in Lucanrant, was enclosed.
Were these supposed to be sent to Eduard but reached me by some mistake?
That kind of question crossed my mind.
Then I should return it.
But I was fascinated by Bort and Dolores' brushstrokes.
Bort's neat character and Dolores' highly-strung yet pompous brushstrokes.
I began to look through the mysterious letters of the two women who died.
As for the contents, there were lots of miscellaneous things such as go here and there or buy this and that.
I read about forty of such trifling letters.
They were all very trivial.
I was getting tired.
I reached out for a slightly thicker letter, intending to make it the last one.
The characters of Dolores in that letter were very polite and beautiful, unlike in the other letters.
The content—it's about the alchemist Oswald Bort.
The crazy alchemist who created aqua vitae and forged a philosopher's stone from his own soul.
And, the man who hunted the Lunatic King Cain and was one step away from destroying him.
Why did he do something like that?
That's because he was chosen as a pawn by the head of the Wynt family several hundred years ago.
It is said that he became an alchemist who would kill the Lunatic King due to the causal interference by the Wynt who looked into the future.
Dolores repeatedly apologized from the bottom of her heart to Bort.
If we didn't get him involved, you wouldn't have suffered like this, she said.
Causal interference? The philosopher's stone?
How ridiculous.
It's a fantastical story that makes me want to disregard it as nonsense.
But, I feel suffocated for some reason.
The war hero Evil Eye Bort, and Dolores, a genius from the prestigious Wynt family of Hafan who died prematurely.
Would they really converse like this just for some fantasy?
At that time, I realized the true meaning of the enclosed ink and powder.
The mechanism of this ink and powder is somewhat known to Lucanrant and Aurelia.
—So this dubious story is a camouflage while the real subject is written in hidden ink, eh?
I sprinkled the powder after reading through the letter once while feeling doubtful.
In the faint light that covered the letter, characters that were spelled in the dark became visible.
Emerging there was the truth of the death of the First Princess Eléonore.
It said that Oswald Bort's failure to kill the Lunatic King Cain had distorted her fate.
The dying Lunatic King was in need of a new body.
The Lunatic King chose the twin prince and princess of Ignitia.
After many twists and turns, the target was narrowed down to the prince.
However, the Lunatic King found a more suitable body.
The lover who had been secretly dating the prince had a son who inherited not only the telepathic ability of the South but also the magical properties of the East—Brad Clochydd.
Eléonore tried to save her brother and sister-in-law who had been taken by a vampire, and caught the curse using her own body.
Then, she let Dolores kill her before she could fully become a vampire.
That is the truth of the death of the First Princess.
In another letter, addressed to Bort and Björndóttir, was a list of vampires to kill.
From townspeople to high nobles. From the Federal Kingdom to Gigantia.
The vast list certainly contained the names of those who have recently died suspicious deaths.
By the time I finished reading everything, it was late at night.
The moon illuminating the windowsill was round and bright.
I moistened my completely-dry lips with my tongue.
I remembered the face of the red-eyed Brad Clochydd.
If this is true.
Then he is the child who was chosen to be the vessel of the Lunatic King.
Moreover, a vessel whose body has already been given the blood of the Lunatic King and will be completed just by pouring the souls of sacrifices.
He's a fire.
He can be a great fire that burns everyone in the world.
If it were Lucanrant—no, if it were me, he wouldn't have been kept alive until he grew up like this.
Wouldn't it be more merciful to finish him quickly?
I checked the letter again.
The last name on the list of vampires to kill is Brad Clochydd.
The witch gave instructions to Bort to take action if Brad ever posed a danger.
Protect him with your life, but when that time comes, kill him, she said.
The instruction was not only for Bort, but also for her son.
"—Isn't this the worst?"
In other words, now that Frederica Bort has sunk into the sea.
Brad's executioner would be Eduard.
That guy.
He has been raised to protect Brad and to kill him all his life.
But, one doesn't usually focus their attention on the beast they plan to kill.
They should not feel compassion.
But that guy is not like that.
I know that better than anyone.
If everything was foreseen and this was an instruction.
This girl, Dolores Wynt, was much more inhumane than I am.
And as much cruel.
If that is the case, I—
Shall I substitute for that guy?
It was on that moment that such words spun in my brain.
"Yo…Eduard isn't here?"
In the evening I returned to Eduard's room and only found Brad there.
He was reading an old scroll while taking notes at the writing desk.
"Aa, he has been called by the teacher just a moment ago."
"Did he do something again? He's the same as ever, huh."
"No, there's a change of plan for the upcoming field investigation, so they are adjusting the details."
Brad answered without giving me a glance.
"I see. I'll wait here then."
It would have been better to return to my dorm, but I decided to observe Brad's appearance from behind for a while.
The silhouette of his body was extremely thin.
Probably because Brad doesn't eat much.
It is the exact opposite of Elric, who is surprisingly a glutton and eats everything without being picky.
"So, what are you doing?"
"Doing some research."
A defenseless back.
I quietly approached him and peered into the scroll.
"It's about magic, which your people hate. More specifically, about the origin of Hafan's magic."
"Heeh, I see."
In the scroll, there were coiling figures that were difficult to understand.
They resembled the thing I saw when I first entered the academy.
"I don't hate it. I just don't want to rely on it."
"…Rely, is it?"
Brad, who seemed to have an issue with that, grumbled.
"So, what are you looking at?"
"A magic that changes everything. More than the miracle given by the angels of Ignitia…I think."
"Ha?"
"I don't know if it's true or not. But it's a very old magic, so it may be exaggerating."
Brad turned to face me and began explaining.
The pattern that all students are required to record at the academy.
As a matter of fact, it is linked to the secret of the ancient magic of Hafan.
The school is secretly using the students' patterns to analyze ancient patterns.
Like where the pattern is embedded in the body and how it works.
Its relation with magic and unusual powers.
And the deep connection between patterns and the world.
The explanation was awkward and boring, but ultimately, those who possess the hidden ancient pattern can change the world simply by walking on it.
You can only travel to the slightest possible deviation at a time, but you can repeat it to modify all possibilities.
For example, increase just one pebble.
If you repeat it an awful lot of times, you can even fill up an entire sea.
On top of that, it seems that you can reshape this world as you like, transfer to another world, or even create another world.
"Do you think something like that is really possible?"
"I don't think so. I merely wanted to study it."
Brad looked down with bemusement.
Perhaps it is to liberate himself from the curse.
This guy, he must be trying to make his own destiny.
But, what if he really has that magic?
And if this guy is taken away by those monstro, can you imagine how dangerous the king of monstro would be?
I can't imagine it.
I swung my long sword down like a blunt tool.
Elric Actorius lightly fell down and fainted.
Eduard and Brad, who were walking in front, turned around.
Eduard immediately moved between me and Brad.
"What are you…?"
"Eduard, step aside. That's the one I have business with."
I leaped and landed on top of the headless prince's bed.
I pressed the pad of my finger against the blade of my dagger and made it bleed.
Bright droplets dripped on the corpse.
"Claude, don't tell me, you…!"
The headless corpse that was restrained by a number of spells began to rampage.
At the same time, the room started shaking violently.
The smell of the air changed.
An intense, musty, and dirty stench.
A spatial transition, similar to Eduard's Castling, has occurred.
"Now…no one will help you here."
I jumped from the headless prince's bed.
I landed immediately at a place about a meter away from Brad.
"Hey, Brad, choose. Kill yourself right now. If you can't do it, then I'll kill you."
"…W-what are you saying…?"
Brad retreated with staggering steps.
"Claude!"
The moment I put my hand on my sword, the person in front of me changed from Brad to Eduard.
Castling, his forte.
"Ed!"
"Run away, Brad. Please, run to the ruins!"
I tried to chase Brad.
However, Eduard, with his desperate expression, stood in my way.
I've been fighting this guy since the day we became friends, haven't I?
I slowly drew my sword, recalling those nostalgic memories.
After I roughly finished restraining him, I sat on the back of the restrained Eduard.
The battle ended very quickly.
In addition to the battle being inside a closed space, it is also in point-blank range; both of which are advantageous for swordsmen like me.
And I have seen some of his trump cards.
Moreover, he was fighting while protecting his unconscious friend and a corpse that must not be touched.
Even for Eduard, it was not a favorable situation.
"By the way, will Brad be okay alone in this kind of place?"
"Much better than here, where there is a beast like you. And he's strong enough as long as it's not a human opponent."
Well, this is troubling.
This ruin was the Fourth Corpse City Annwn.
Searching for a human hidden in this kind of vast and complex place is difficult for those who cannot use magic.
But I have Eduard at hand.
He is an alchemist, which is very convenient.
I took off his gloves and took out the wands inside.
Surprisingly, this guy stored thirty wands inside those gloves.
"Hey, Eduard. Which one should I use to find out where Brad's location is?"
"You…think…I'll answer?"
"We'll see about that."
I broke each finger's joint to break his chance of counterattacking.
While intentionally hurting the nerves in order to give him the most pain.
The proud Eduard did not cry out.
How stubborn.
But this was within my expectations.
From his fingers, I moved to his wrist.
Bent it in the wrong direction and broke it.
"Do you feel like answering now, Eduard?"
"Alright, I'll also take my time then."
I will break that will of yours, who grew up being taught to protect Brad.
You had done your best and had acted perfectly.
It only turned out this way because I was a bit more inhuman than you.
I don't hate that soft and weak nature of yours that made you unable to use your wands when I used Elric as a meat shield.
Before the grief of losing a friend overtakes you, preoccupy yourself with hating me instead.
This is the only comfort that I, who cannot appease your grief, can give.
"…kh…uk…guh…!!"
When his wrists were done, I broke his elbows.
When his elbows were done, I broke his shoulders.
At that time, Eduard seemed to have fainted from the pain.
He will give up soon enough.
"Why…are you…doing this…Claude…?"
I heard a voice.
Elric, who had been unconscious until then, was getting up.
"Heeh, have you gotten up already? You're much stronger than I thought. I thought you would be lying on the floor for about three years."
A shocked expression appeared on Elric's face.
"…You, what are you doing?"
"Is it not obvious? I'm asking Eduard to find out where Brad is."
"…Why Brad? Why isn't he here?"
"Well, I wonder why?"
I dodged the questions.
Secrets that should not be shared even to those in Ichthyes cannot be leaked to the enemy country.
"Nevermind. Get away from Eduard right now."
"Sorry, that's impossible. I also have a business with him."
"Whatever your reason is, you don't need to torment your friend to death like this, right?!"
This is the first time I saw Elric mad.
No matter what kind of insults I threw at him, he always deflected it with unruffled air.
I tightened up Eduard's restraint and stood up.
I noticed that the skin of the hands of the man before me was starting to turn silver.
"You…I see, so you're not a normal person, huh? To think that you were nailed, don't go crazy in this place, okay?"
"Don't die. I'm not good at adjusting my strength."
Elric's elbows and knees began to change in shape and color like an armor.
Unlike the giants I heard in rumors, that figure looked beautiful.
I received Elric's lunging fist with my own fist in a moment.
The bones broke.
I got away and healed it instantly.
A giant is a giant even if he doesn't enlarge, huh.
Indeed, I wouldn't have lived if he did enlarge.
I reinforced my leg strength and ran up the wall diagonally.
I pulled out my sword and jumped.
Added speed and weight to the force of my blow and slashed at him from difficult angles.
I intended to make a mincemeat out of him, but his silver armor wasn't even scratched.
I started feeling numb down to my elbows.
The steel sword didn't break, but it was shot off from my right hand, which had lost its grip.
—My feet touched the ground.
The flowing movement of the muscle instantly converted propulsion into striking power.
My favorite to win, the left palm heel.
From an inescapable distance, I unleashed it with maximum physical reinforcement.
If the shell is thick, then I just need to smash the soft contents.
"Guh!?"
Elric staggered, holding down his side and retreated.
That strike was supposed to make him fall and cough out blood.
Did I miss?
He must be used to fighting.
He's skilled even in fighting.
The damage didn't make him falter as Elric put himself on guard against me.
I also healed my broken wrist and fixed my stance yet again.
His reaction speed and skill are high, and he has much more strength than me.
Had I met him earlier, I would have had a much easier way to kill time, what a shame.
Our fists crossed again and again.
I, who had to heal my fists each time they get destroyed, was at quite a disadvantage.
The longer this battle dragged on, the more I would be overwhelmed.
At last, one of my arms got dislocated, and even just receiving his fists required all my power.
Elric's offense intensified as if he thought this was his chance.
Just like that, I was quickly driven to the headless prince's bed.
I wouldn't be able to receive the next blow.
When I was sure of that, I instantly used the headless prince as a meat shield.
The headless corpse's heart was pierced by Elric's fist.
Blood spurted from the hole in the corpse's chest.
My vision was filled with red.
It was an amount of blood that should be impossible to be contained in a corpse.
Even while sustaining such a fatal injury, the corpse had begun to mend itself.
A regenerative power that cannot be achieved by a mere underling.
If this is not an ancient monstro made by the Lunatic King, I don't know what is.
"…Haha…well, well…so this Golden Wolf Prince is the real deal!"
Elric was dyed deep red with blood.
His expression was frozen in fear.
Fear of touching something that should not be touched.
"Kuh, w-what are you…!"
"I got this feeling that the next person to be infected is you, Elric."
Perhaps because of the shock after having pierced the headless corpse, there was a gap in Elric's movement.
I struck Elric using that opportunity.
As expected, there was no damage.
I dealt blows from left and right, making his head swing from the impact.
And punched his chin for the finishing blow.
Even a giant could not defeat concussion.
When Elric fainted, I immediately straddled him.
"Seems like giants can be brought down in this way."
I tore Elric's clothes and pulled out the Nails that were hammered into his spine.
Elric's scream resounded in the Morgue.
Around the time I pulled out about ten of them, I was struck by a burning sensation on my back.
Was I attacked by flame magic?
It was an attack with malice, as if the attacker had intended to kill me.
I turned around and saw Brad Clochydd.
The wizard with watery red eyes.
"So you're back. It's a shame, but there's no one here to protect you anymore."
"I, I am done being protected!"
Brad scattered spellcards while chanting.
A cluster of spellcards clad in flame, lightning, cold wave, and whirlwind.
Each cluster had a small dragon-like contour.
Artificial spirits.
Moreover, four of them at the same time.
So he has the nerve to do this kind of thing.
While letting the artificial spirits shoot, Brad took out a new bunch of spellcards and unleashed Bind.
For a wizard, for a princess who can only be protected, he's pretty good.
But that's about it.
The magic activation of the caster who is not good at hiding his hostility, the behavior pattern of the monotonous artificial dragons, I can see it all.
Compared to the previous battles, it's boring.
I evaded everything while closing in on Brad.
A Barrier unfolded in front of me, but I could read it.
I broke through his defenses with the snowsilver necklace hidden in my palm and finally caught Brad.
What a shame.
If he had the magical power to summon four spirits at the same time, he could win by steaming this whole room.
"You wasted the efforts of Eduard and Elric."
I held Brad by his neck and lifted him.
"Do you really want to know why I'm going to kill you?"
"…uk!"
I felt like Brad's eyes were dyed especially red.
"That face. So you knew that you are a human who shouldn't be kept alive, huh?"
As I tightened my hand around his neck, Brad moved his lips.
But I wrung his neck even more without caring about it.
If I squeeze his delicate neck as it is, it will be over in a second.
Everything will be over.
Even though that was how it supposed to be, even though everything I had done was set up for that end—
I slammed Brad's unresisting body against the stone floor.
It's not the right time yet.
The strong conviction that came to my mind moved me.
Then I dived into the door to the Corpse City and headed to the ancient labyrinth.
I navigated through the labyrinth as if I knew everything, and aimed for the surface.
I looked down at my hands.
They are bloody, and they are in the shape of a beast's hand.
"…Haha…so I…was cursed by the golden wolf."
I threw the corpse of my great uncle and kept Sigríður in check.
There were many dead bodies everywhere in the reception hall.
My father's corpse was lying at my feet.
I wanted him to recognize me, but now he would never open his eyes again.
Aah, just what exactly did I want?
Before I knew it, Sigríður's sword pierced through me and I couldn't move.
A wolf-like roar escaped from my stepmother's throat.
—Aah, so you're the next one, huh.
I could hear the sound of someone crying.
Ah, that Harlan Slayson was crying and mourning for someone.
My consciousness is fading away, probably because I bled too much.
By this time, I realized everything.
I had been cursed ever since I was in the Morgue at that time.
Therefore, at that time, I could not kill Brad, who had been given Cain's blood as the vessel of the Lunatic King.
That is my Lord.
Our, Lord.
When I came to my senses, I was in a dark forest.
I ran like a beast, holding my parched throat.
I passed through the forest.
Out of the dark forest where light does not enter.
The night sky where the moon shines spread out.
How dazzling.
The full moon filled my spirit.
"Aah…I remembered…just what exactly did I…"
The only faces that came to mind were nostalgic faces.
Everyone was staring at me with a grim expression.
Ah, that's right.
Even so.
I didn't expect this to happen.
What did I really want?
Now that I have lost even that, I want something to heal the stinging dryness.
Over there.
I want to go over there once more.
Driven by the nostalgia, feeling as if I cannot stay still, I started running once again.

I knew it from the get go , I really don't like Claude, with his self-centerd mind ._.
Apart from that I looooove everyoneee, by far the best novel
If anything, while he is only thinking in short term, he has done that for Eduard.
For him, Brad is a danger who must be killed because he is a vessel for the vampire king. Eduard was supposed to be the one to kill him. But Eduard is too kind, and Claude thought that Eduard wouldn't be able to kill Brad when the time comes.
So he intended to substitute for Eduard and be the executioner. Of course it seems the other guys don't know this fact about Brad and Claude. And Claude also didn't tell them, making them thought that Claude had gone mad and did a murder attempt.
But thank you for your comment and sentiment! I'm glad you like the novel!
Is this the second time Isekaiing is hinted in-story? This is probably the first series I've read where someone other than the MC suggest/think about Isekai. (Not counting stories where deities are the one sending people to another world). That's pretty cool.
Anyways, thank you for picking this series and translating this so far. It was a really great otome adventuring series. It's just a damn shame that it was not popular enough, with the LN not getting any new volume and the WN on hiatus… It's exactly the same shit that has happened with Eliza, another great adventuring otome series. At least Erica's author has said that he planned to finish the WN.
Wow…. woah!… gdamn I could visualize it all in anime form! gdamn! So the one who would be executioner… instead becomes his most loyal dog LOL… just woah! its almost like Eduard intended for that to happen!
Who was the one that sent that information to Claude? who gave him the heads up about Brad? If Eduard orchestrated this just to get Claude cursed that would be freaking crazy! if it were someone else then what was the motive? why didn't they do that themselves? was it Harlan? originally that letter was intended to make Claude kill Brad… so logically he could have killed him at any time before going to that corpse…so the one that sent the letter couldn't be Eduard…
Brad you fathead… get gud! so damn weak! how are you meant to be the vessel of the lunatic king when you are this weak! damn! Brad has all the bodyguards now! but one is in camp Lunatic! was that deliberate or accidental? so interesting!
I keep imagining Erica going rabid mode if her beloved Onii sama got hurt like that… I tell you now Claude… your ass would be in the dog pound!
Eduard! how many times do you get tortured! your baby sister will be heartbroken! she might get angry and break them! just stay away from troublesome things!
No no. The one who sent the letters were Earl Wynt. Remember, this is how they interfere with the future. Just with something so insignificant as 'letters that might be wrongly sent'. But was it really 'wrongly sent'? Perhaps it was intentionally made look that way.
Claude got cursed was definitely accidental. The curse was supposed to transfer to Elric, but he had been nailed with Holy Nails, which protected his soul from something like this. So the curse transferred to Claude instead.
Oh!! damn 😛 need to re read 😀
Willanya says:
Elric was a pushover in this chapter and Claude appears as a meatbrain, even unable to think that Eduard may have an alternative plan or that he fell in the plan of someone else. Thanks for the translations.
Perhaps you meant Brad was the pushover? Because Elric was definitely not, he at least did some damage to Claude.
And those of Lucanrant are known for being meatheads, like Chloe for example. They are known for 'hit first think later' type of thinking. So no wonder there.
As Eduard had said in this chapter, Brad is strong enough as long as the opponent is not human. Which, unfortunately, what Claude is.
Thank you for commenting! I hope you like the story so far!
Eristol Evenstar says:
It was Earl Wynt who tipped him as stated, perhaps as a part of the family's causal interference, just like how Oswald was used by some Wynt ancestor to kill Cain.
That family sure do shady shit for good intentions…
mamikouga says:
Uwaaaahh. One thing I appreciate about this over other otome stories is how there are much bigger things than Erica's deathflags happening. This arc had way less romance than spoilers made it seem, but ultimately this is some intense lore! Really looking forward to the final arc and hope the next light novel comes out soon
xueicchi says:
Ah, I really love is this novel. I've always been looking forward to the Monday updates. Early morning when I wake up there is a new chapter. I'll miss it for a while but I'm definitely looking forward to the next book.
WOW.just WOW.
I admit I was very worried when you mentioned that the next one is going to be the final arc,but now with these stories of the past, almost every mistery of the whole novel has been solved.We love Erica's gang in the present, We saw the powerful and destiny ruled gang of Bort and…we suffered with the pitiful and emotionaly weak gang of Eduart.
Now se know the fatcs behind Chloe's brother.After that horrible incident, the novel started…
I just saw that the light novel version has begun to be translated on j-novel.club! There are two parts so far that reach chapter 6 of the web novel. 1 part is release each week, so the first novel should be done in around a month or so.
Khriss says:
Aaaa- I decided to wait till you guys finished translating till to ch 160 so I had the whole arc to read at once and Boy aam I glad!! That was intense– the reveals, twists and action was breathtaking. Love Erica Aurelia!!!
I just can't thank you translators enough for these chapters, Erica has inspired lots of crazy DnD scenarios and I love it! I pray the author is doing well during the epidemic and that they will finish the series before the year ends 🙂
We can hope for a good news next month apparently. Look forward to it.
Jinyanagi says:
Thank you very much for translating this series thus far! Really enjoyed the ride and having read your latest translations made me really appreciate the past arcs.
Erica's adventure really came this far huh, there's so much things connected and it widen my perspective on all parts. Also can we talk about how angsty Eduard's squad is? Like ON GOD, I told myself "this is so sad" at least 4 times while reading this chapter. It's so angsty and sad, my favorite character is Eduard so reading all these sad moments about him made me almost tear up. I really wish there will be a way where they can live happily… please author don't push with any death flag TT_____TT
I'm really hoping for a happy ending, just maybe… Erica has prepared all this time to break every death flag for herself so maybe she can help her brother and everyone else out of that.
Anyways enough of that, this series is really amazing and moving. I can't believe how intricately thought of every arc was, like I can't even begin how everyone the author built up since the beginning came to be and everything just connects AND IM OVERWHELMED.
Especially the characters I love all of them <333
Again thank you for this wonderful series, thanks to the translator and editors involved that made this happen and the author who created this story!!
Also really appreciate how easy it was to read the translation and the footnotes and glossary really helped out, midway at arc 3 I kept forgetting who was who because I didn't paid that much attention to the other capture targets xDD
clytia727 says:
I marathon everything in 2.5 days. It was wonderful and thank you so much for translating this amazing piece of gem. =D
Uwah that's a very fast reading. Thanks for your support~
I am a bit concerned that the author hasn't updated her WN for half a year. I hope he/she can complete this series. (ㆆ _ ㆆ)
It will be resumed sometimes near the end of next month apparently
Mizumaru says:
Hey, will you still continue the translation? Asking this because the novel's been licensed in English…
Of course I will continue until the end. As long as the author herself does not ask me to take the translation down, whether it is directly or through her brother (I know her brother), the translation stays.
Justpassingby says:
I am confused..so all along, Brad was the son of the Prince, not Eleanor's?
Also, thank you to the staff for bringing this wonderful translation of an equally wonderful novel. 2020 has been sucking real bad, I hope and pray that this one doesn't end suddenly or gets discontinued seeing from the previous comments that author-san hasn't updated for a long time. Hoping for author-san to be well and in good health too.
Yes. The reason for people assuming he was the child of Eleonore was because (spoiler alert) if Eleonore didn't say that, Sigridur wouldn't want to protect him. Sigridur swore loyalty to Eleonore, not her brother.
I see I see, yea makes sense. Thank you so much for answering. If you don't kind, I have a few more questions: Does Brad know this? Also, Eduard and Elric doesn't know the reason why Claude attacked Brad right? And what reason did Claude kill his family? Also, even tho he's cursed, Claude still has his consciousness, right? Cause he's going to school "driven by nostalgia" so like he actually still remembers them..and he's going there to finish the "job"? 🤔 Sorry for the barrage of questions. XD
Brad does know it. But I think he didn't tell Eduard and Elric. And yes, Ed and Elric didn't know the reason Claude attacked Brad (or them). Claude did not intentionally kill his family, but his curse (the Golden Wolf curse) was acting up and he became a man-eating werewolf and massacred his family. The same thing happened with the Military Order of Utfor (same as in Claude rampaged again and massacred them). Yes, it seems Claude had been in and out of consciousness a few times. Although we don't know much about it, perhaps this coincide with how Holle-kun (the golden wolf artificial spirit) could only "wake up" when its Lord (Claude/the golden wolf prince) sleeping. So perhaps it is vice versa and these moments when he was conscious were times when Holle-kun was sleeping. And who knows what Claude would do after he meet the rest of the gang? 😉 I guess we will find out in the final arc :3
Oh I'm sure they'll catch up like good ol times when they meet haha. I see, so it was the curse. Dang Claude, he meant well but his approach was wrong lol. And Brad, I do hope nothing bad happens to him, I really like his character. Makes me wonder tho what happened throughout the years that his personality then is so different from now xD (on his POV chapter, I was so confident it was Elric narrating but, I almost threw my phone when it was actually Brad 😂) Ahhh, can't wait for the final arc. Hoping that Erica's romance won't be an open end but I have feeling it will be 🤔 Thank you so much again for answering. I really appreciate it. ☺💖
Dithia Sofdi says:
Holle-kun?
In what chapter Holle-kun ever arrived?
Not Holle-kun only mentioned by Erica when she thinking about game!Chloe? Holle-kun not yet appeared… unless I missed some chapters… 🙂
He appeared in ch 146, when Klaus and Erica investigated the mysterious phenomenon in the corn maze.
kong satya says:
I wonder who will erica end up with
Translator San I have a question
so is cain death and can be resurrected anytime using Brad body?? ( or is the one behind scene is cain ( he is alive or his subordinates @@)
I hope you can spoil a little D
And author San how are many chapters left?? :((
Btw thx
This series is so far so good I really enjoy it
Keep the work up
Alright so. First, Cain is still alive. This fact is not a spoiler, as it has been confirmed many times throughout the series by Eduard, Dolores, and many others. Although it seems he is in a state where he can't move. But he is dying and in need of a new vessel, which is Brad. But for this to happen, it seems he needs to sacrifice many souls.
As I'm not the author I can't say how many chapters are left, but the next arc will be the last one. So I suspect, as we still have many plot points to cover, there will at least be 30 chapters.
And the plot thickens! I love how this series has deeper layer than just a simple otome game, it gets darker with every ark.
Kinda confused though, was Brad already a vampire when Claude tried to kill him? Is that what this sentence meant?:
Our Lord."
Plus Brad was listed as the last vampire in the notes Earl Wynt sent to Claude. If that's true, things just gotten whole lot creepier.
Kind of sad for Claude because his effort ended up in vain, and nobody will ever know that he was trying to save the world by trying to kill Brad (maybe save for Eduard. That might be what he meant by he wasn't totally uninvolved)
My own predictions:
– I'm suspicious that the Wynts have something to do with Erica being reborn with her past memories, and therefore changing the fate of the whole game.
– In the normal game routes, each on of the capture target ended up being controlled by Cain because of their
"unstable" state of mind, and Erica will always end up dead to control Eduard next.
– I have super bad feeling that Eduard will either die or almost die in the next Arc (next T___T even though he's my fave character. All the foreshadowing seems to lead toward that direction.
– Erica ofcourse, will end up with Klaus. Not that anyone thinks otherwise, haha.
Brad is not a vampire yet but he is like a ticking time bomb, he already has tha lunatic king's curse so after certain conditions are fulfilled it seems he will fully become Cain. Also, as a Harold shipper I know my ship is doomed right off the bat, but I want Erica to stay in Aurelia permanantly instead of marrying out and for her beloved "Oniisama" to "take care of her forever". :p
Thanks for the chapters! Aaaaah, rip Claude. He was trying to spare Eduard the pain of killing his friend and take on the sins himself but everything went wrong and he became cursed instead.
It's a bit of a pity to have caught up already as well. Darn.
bojayjay says:
This novel is one of the best I've read. It's quite heartbreaking to know that the light novel didn't do well in Japan. I mean, come on — it's one of the best out there! I would dare say this is much better than Bakarina — which is so popular right now — I began losing interest in that novel after volume 3 or so, maybe because there's no more threats.
But for Deathbound, I got to feel the pressure in numerous scenes, fearing the threats lingering around, the mysteries, and many more, ultimately I love Erica!. If this novel gets the anime adaptation, I think it would improve its sales a lot. But oh well… I'm gonna miss this so much when this novel is over. And I know I'll miss Erica. One of the best protagonist I know.
If I remember correctly, the next Arc will be the last one? Dammit! Nooooooooo!
Meanwhile, it has released a manga. Hopefully someone will pick it up.
Awesome! It's great to hear it has a manga. Also hoping someone to pick it up.
Malacat says:
Just spent two days power reading through this series. (yay insomnia) Thank you for all your hard work translating this, I wish I had read this sooner it's been on my read list for a long ass time.
Lyka Scarlet says:
thanks for the chapter, does the author have dropped it?
Nope, she said the sixth arc (the supposed-to-be the last arc) is becoming unexpectedly long, so she's going to split the arc into two. So we will have seven arc in total. It's said that the barebone for the sixth arc has finished and just needs to be edited and refined. Although that's the info that I got in september so I don't know what's taking so long. But don't worry, this series is not dropped.
ok , thanks for the answer 😀
Ex-DM says:
I'll leave a more compresenhisve review on the NovelUpdates page but this is one great story! Thank you for your translations!
Mary Angelinne Macatangay says:
So that means there are 7 arcs in total correct? Then what's up with the 'the next arc is gonna be the last in the novel' saying reply it got me scared for a moment but thank you for having notified and replied to one of the second to the last replies that there will be 7 arcs in total and that this isn't a dropped novel with the past comments.. Also, I read the past comments just to know if my questions were already asked by the other fans who wrote comments and replies to those certain comments. Most definitely not to be a creep! Thank you for the translations as of now. Belated Merry Christmas!
Hello! Thank you for reading~ so at first the author's plan was to make the next arc as the finale. But after she wrote the outline of the chapters, apparently there are too many plotlines to wrap it up in one arc, so it will be split into two. ^^
Uwa~ thank you translator sama
Erica Incest rout says:
Is there an rough timeline for when the author finishes? Like in two months or an year?
None yet but assuming it would be this year.

In less than 100 years our village has transformed itself from a mountain farming community to a world famous tourist destination, without losing it's unique Walser valley character. In contrast to many other tourist destinations Lech has managed to maintain it's village character and local community atmosphere.

A good time on the mountain and in the snow – this is what enables Lech Zürs am Arlberg to remain unchallenged at the forefront of winter destinations.
Hiking gives you the opportunity to appreciate nature and enjoy exercise at the same time.

The Daleks - "I started the group In the summer of 1977 after listening to Rattus Narviticus about 100 times on a church youth club holiday. Slimy Toad's brother, Nicky, who co wrote "I'm a cunt" with me, had it on tape cassette. I remember we used to turn it right up in the middle In the middle of Ugly...because Hugh Cornwall shouted "it's only the fucking rich that get to be good looking". And all the church leaders would have a right go at us. That was it. Had to start a band! Up until 1979 just I had a guitar although we had a drummer a singer and a bass player that were going to get their instruments it never happened. I had loads of the songs already written by the time the first other member with an instrument joined. Mark Adams (Bass), who later joined Case. Then Woodie joined and things started to move quickly with Gaz joining (the original singer. Nicky Fitzgerald, Slimy Toads brother, bailed out when it started to become a real thing. Then Dean replaced Mark Adams." - Eddie Turtle 2021.
"I was at school south of London in Caterham in the late '70s and used to hang out in Goodness Records each afternoon spending all my paper round money there. I'd seen 'The Daleks' sprayed on a wall in the town and got chatting to Eddie one day, they were looking for a drummer - The general consensus locally was that he was a great songwriter. I think the band name came from the end of Remote Control by the Clash - 'gonna be a Dalek... I obey!' There was quite a few line-up changes before the record, it was me that suggested Gaz as a front man. He'd just been expelled from my school for dying his hair and looked the part... yellow creepers to boot! It was him that did the artwork for the record sleeve and got all our mates to get photo booth pictures done. We all made the pilgrimage to Broadcasting House at the BBC to take John Peel a copy. Gaz spoke to him from the phone on reception (while he was in the middle of a show). I only heard one side of the conversation but it went something like 'It's Gaz from the Daleks from Croydon, we've brought you our record to play... it's fuckin' brilliant!'" - Woodie Taylor 2021
Strictly Rockers Following the demise of The Daleks in the early 80's, Gaz the lead singer and front man of The Daleks, was quick to form a new band, Strictly Rockers, with two local Croydon reprobates Ian and Steve. Gaz and Ian wrote the songs and Steve provided the distinctive percussion. The 3-piece band was born, Gaz was again lead vocals but now sported a bass guitar. Running off the back of the punk rock era the band exploded with collection of up-beat anti establishment songs, the exception to the theme being the classic track 'I Miss You'. The trio played a variety of different venues in the Croydon area, with their favourite haunt being the "Star" in West Croydon where they played regularly. Probably their most memorable gig was with UK Subs, and the infamous Charley Harper. Strictly Rockers' popularity was short lived, and within 18 months the trio had gone their separate ways. L.A.M.F.
ViaVess "When Gaz and Roland left, I felt that we would have been successful if we'd stayed together, so, thought I'd call us Virgins of Success, shortened to V of S. Then I thought what about giving it a mysterious twist so ViaVess was how the initials sounded when you said V of S, so that became our "shortlived" name. It was a very short-lived band (3 or 4 months and I was then off following the Meteors full-time)." - Eddie Turtle 2021

— United co-owner Kevin McCabe looking back on his decision in 2013 to sell 50 per cent of the club for £1.
THERE is no way back. Those who sat through the shareholders' gathering before Sheffield United's goalless draw with Nottingham Forest were left in little doubt.
Co-owner Kevin McCabe, who called the meeting, revealed he is aggressively fighting partner Prince Abdullah bin Mosaad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud attempted takeover of the club, triggered in January, which will now be litigated in the courts.
McCabe, who sold 50 per cent of the club to the Saudi prince in 2013 in return for what was described as "game-changing" investment, told a packed audience at the Copthorne Hotel on Bramall Lane, of his misgivings about United falling into the hands of anyone who doesn't understand the "ethos, culture and heritage" of the club.
He said he and the Prince, "a decent man" whom in the past he has stoutly defended when asked about perceived lack of investment by the Saudi, didn't talk often but he hopes the leadership issue could be resolved by the summer. A confirmation of the breakdown in their relationship. The damage has been done and given the gravity of their differences It is hard to see how the partnership could ever be repaired.
Equally worrying for supporters is a dispute between Prince Abdullah's camp and manager Chris Wilder and McCabe about the correct way forward for the club. The McCabe-Wilder alliance believe that buying British and Irish players remains the best strategy. Prince Abdullah, aided by the advice of recent addition to the SUFC Board, Belgian Jan Van Winckel, who has a UEFA-pro coaching licence, wants to take an international approach.
Van Winckel, 44 later this month, technical director of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation and previously assistant manager of Olympique de Marseille under former Argentina and Chile coach Marcelo Bielsa, was also appointed in December to the board of United's parent company Blades Leisure Limited. Significantly, McCabe blocked an attempt by his partner to appoint Van Winckel to the club's technical board which numbers Wilder, No2 Alan Knill, head of recruitment Paul Mitchell, academy chief Travis Binnion and head of administration Carl Shieber.
Whilst Van Winckel has expressed his support for Wilder, the man much admired by Prince Abdullah, clearly has his own agenda. One that if pursued would almost certainly call into serious question the manager's desire to continue. A new regime may also doubt Wilder's ability to handle a dressing room populated by foreign players from very different backgrounds and expectations.
Prince Abdullah said on his appointment: "Jan is someone whom I have known for a while now. He is an experienced football man and we are delighted to have him as part of the team at board level."
The latest twist in the struggle for power comes after Prince Abdullah, who recently bought into Belgian second tier club Beerschot Wilrijk where Van Winckel is also a Board member, claimed earlier last week he is more concerned about winning promotion than his bid to take complete control of the club "at a fair price".
Really? What little we hear from the court of Saud is sounding as vacuous as his four-and-a-half years at Bramall Lane.
It also directly contradicts McCabe's thinly disguised disappointment before an audience during a fundraiser at Sheffield University last month with Wilder sat on stage alongside him, that his royal highness is letting the side down.
If Prince Abdullah's message, apparently and unsurprisingly via an intermediary, were true instead of being driven purely by a financial dispute in an effort to buy United and its associated property assets for a bargain, the team manager's job over the last nine months would have been very different.
Putting together a squad designed to compete with the best instead of what has actually happened. Trawling football's bargain basement last summer, relying purely on instinct and overworked motivational skills to re-establish the Blades as a top half Championship team. McCabe now publicly recognises as much.
That is no slight on the players recruited in the summer and January transfer windows. Whatever the outcome of this season – United are still only two points short of a play-off place with eight matches and 24 points to play for – they have performed well above expectation and deserve to take a bow. Something all Blades fans will surely agree.
No, the spanner in the works hails from the Middle East. A man who has spent four-and-a-half years supposedly in joint control but of whom Blades fans know little. A man who has so far failed to live up to expectation and as McCabe obviously fears, the motive for his involvement at United is becoming increasingly questionable.
A lack of trust which has grown between them has paralysed serious team development. A bitter battle now being played out behind closed doors is one that goes to the very heart of Bramall Lane.
— McCabe on reality of being an ambitious Championship club.
Prince Abdullah bought into United for £1 and in the absence of any current information had at the last count towards the end of Nigel Adkins' reign in 2016, invested £15m covering an admittedly bloated and mis-managed wage bill and the arrival of striker Billy Sharp from Leeds for a fee believed to be £630,000, but precious little else.
It is reported that he funded "football activities" for three seasons. The cost of last year's League One title campaign and this season's return to the Championship have been shared between the co-owners.
McCabe, believed to have invested just over £100m in almost two decades, sold half the club for a token sum in the belief that his new partner was going to inject serious "game-changing" cash. Not just help to cover day-to-day running costs on a tight budget but to hasten a return to the Premier League. Money which McCabe felt unable to provide. The arrangement appeared at the time a perfect solution.
Last month, during a question and answer session before an audience of 500 to help raise money for the Sheffield Scanner appeal, McCabe made it a public first by acknowledging United must be prepared to move with the times and pay bigger transfer fees and wages if they are to reach and stay in the Premier League.
"I think in a sense the challenge is with use both now because we've got over the big hurdle, we're a proper contender for promotion even this season, there is no grey area there. It's one that has got to be sorted out.
He added: "With being back in the Championship and with a very, very clear aim for getting promoted back to the Premiership we have to address bringing in more equity that allows more flexibility a higher wage bill and higher transfer fees. Can you do it on a lower budget?
Unfortunately for McCabe, risk and reward is what the modern game is all about unless the aim is just to hold your own in the middle of the Championship and hope for good cup runs to add extra revenue and excitement.
With that in mind he explained he is actively seeking a third investor and in the light of last weekend's events at the Copthorne, possibly with the eventual intent of squeezing out Prince Abdullah. "I think we're in vogue for quite a few investors who want to have a look at Sheffield United and that's up to the owners to sort out where they should look," he said.

1966 - 63rd Western Open
Tournament Recap
Contemporary sportswriters expected that Billy Casper would breeze into Chicago and successfully defend his 1965 title as the Western Open champion. However, his competition, and Medinah's Course No. 3, would challenge Billy Casper during every day of the tournament.
In the Pro-Am event, also played on Course No. 3, the day before the Western, Casper scored a 72, one over par, but that wasn't enough to beat the 68 turned in by Tommy Aaron.
On the first day of the tournament, Tommy Bolt was the leader with a score of 68. Casper was only a stroke behind. On Friday, the 92-degree heat and humidity may have been taking their toll on many in the field. Tommy Bolt's back problems affected his game, and he dropped out of competition, clearing the way for two rookie professionals, Kermit Zarley and Homero Blanceo, who tied at 69 to win the day. Only four years earlier, they were amateurs playing on the Houston University Golf Team.
Billy Casper was close behind with a score just one under par. Tommy Aaron led the field on Saturday, and Casper, Venturi, and Zarley tied for second position. On Sunday, 20,000 spectators at Medinah joined by countless thousands watching over the largest network of television stations to ever telecast a golf tournament, could watch as Billy Casper successfully defended his title as the Western Open Champion.
His birdie 4 on the 10th hole was deemed to have been the key to his win. He hit three clubs, a 3-wood, a 2-iron, and a wedge to within six feet of the flagstick, and holed the putt. Gay Brewer was second, and Kermit Zarley and Tommy Aaron tied for third.
The tournament also provided another entry into the history of the Chick Evans Scholarship Foundation. Profits would again benefit the foundation, and Evans Scholars and alumni volunteered their services in various capacities during the event. Chick Evans was the first amateur to win the Western Open in 1910, and at just short of age seventy-eight, he competed in the 63rd Western at Medinah.
1962 - 59th Western Open
The Western Open Championship returned to the Chicago area after a twenty-three year absence, and it had been thirteen years since Medinah had hosted the 1949 U.S. Open. Course No.3 had undergone a few changes, and during the four days of the Western, the course earned its nickname, "the Monster." At 7,110 yards, it was the longest course played in the Western Opens.
On day one, Fred Hawkins of Antioch, Illinois, was the winner with a 68 -3 under par, giving him a one-stroke advantage over Charles Sifford, Jacky Cupit, and Paul Harney. Clyde Mullins and Jack Nicklaus also broke par. Loyal spectators were following Arnold Palmer, the defending champion, who was paired with Nicklaus, winner of the 1962 National Open, for the first 36 holes. New on the scene was Jacky Cupit, winner of the 1961 Canadian Open, and rookie-of-the-year.
After the second round, Cupit and Harney tied for the lead with Hawkins one stroke behind. Gary Player, winner of the 1961 Masters, turned in a 69, with 16 pars and 2 birdies. Jack Nicklaus first ran into trouble on the 10th hole when his second shot landed in the bunker. He needed three more to reach the green and then finish with a 2 putt. Nicklaus also 3-putted the 16th, and needed 4 putts on the 17th. Palmer found himself in the woods, edges and fringes of "the monster."
Eddie Merrins, a pro from Westchester, New York, turned in a record breaking 66 for the third round. Cupit and Player tied at 210, five strokes ahead of the field. Nicklaus ranked 7th, and Palmer was 18th.
At one point during the fourth and final round, Billy Casper, Jacky Cupit, and Gary Player were even, and ahead, until Player dropped out of contention on the 9th hole. On the 18th, both Casper and Cupit had to play out of the same bunker. Their recovery shots decided the winner of the tournament. Casper was left with a 25-foot putt that slid by the hole. When Cupit holed his putt for a par 4, he became the Western Open champion by 2 strokes. Casper was second, and Player and Hawkins tied for third.
1946 - Chicago Victory National
The 1946 Victory National Open Championship played on Medinah's Course No.3 was basically two events consisting of five days of competition. It was a traditional 72-hole three-day tournament preceded by a two-day team championship event. The Victory National evolved from the Chicago Open that was first played at Medinah in 1937. After 1943, during WWII, it was officially designated as the Chicago Victory National Tournament.
The team event consisted of Pro-Amateur, Pro-Senior, and Pro-Lady competitions. The 36 holes of match play were described as the only twosome national events of their kind. For instance, pro Byron Nelson had Chick Evens as his senior partner. Frank Stranahan was his amateur partner, and Betty Jameson played as Nelson's lady partner. Team winners were Pro-Amateur, Jim Ferrier and Jim Stefancik, The team of Ben Hogan and Louise Suggs won Pro-Lady, and the team of Harold McSpaden and Arnold Minkley won Pro-Senior. Johnny Bulla was low pro, Frank Stranahan was low amateur, and Betty Jameson and Betty Hicks tied for low lady. Not long after competing at Medinah, these women were part of the nucleus that organized the Women's Professional Golf Association, now succeeded by the LPGA.
In the first round of the main event, Ernie Harrison and Frank Stranahan tied for the lead. Then on the second day, Lloyd Mangrum shot five birdies for a 6 under par to move into first position. Byron Nelson was 4 strokes back. In the final round, Nelson made what would prove to be his winning shot on the 365 yard 12th hole, a 90 yard niblick that landed in the cup for an eagle two. Byron Nelson won his second straight Victory Open with five under par, beating Harold "Jug" McSpaden by two strokes. Chandler Harper was third.
This was Nelson's eighth win scored in Chicago in as many years, and would include his 1939 triumph at Medinah in the Western Open. Soon after this however, he announced his semi-retirement from full-time competition. Byron Nelson's last regular tour win was for the 1951 Bing Crosby National Pro-Am.
The $10,000 in prizes for the Victory National Open was in Victory Bonds. Service men and women being treated in Chicago area hospitals benefited from the tournament through the CDGA golf charities fund. Beginning soon after Pearl Harbor, and during the post war years, the fund was used to construct golf facilities for their recreation and rehabilitation.
Medinah's First Open
When the Western Golf Association announced that Medinah Country Club would host their 40th Western Open Championship, the CDGA decided that it would postpone the Chicago Open for one year in order to give their full support to the event at Medinah. At that time, the Western Open was considered by many to be second only to the National Open in importance.
The field of 303 competitors played on Course No.1 and No.3, alternating 18 holes on both courses for the first two days. Then the low 50 professionals and 22 low scoring amateurs played Course No.3 on the final day. Ralph Guldahl had won the Western for the preceding three years, and in a practice round on Course No.3, he shot a 69, two below par.
Byron Nelson had just won the National Open, but only a week before the Western at Medinah, he was runner-up to Henry Picard for the PGA title. On day one of the Western, Dick Metz, head professional at Mill Road Farm in Lake Forest, Illinois, set the pace with a record round of 67 on Course No.3. He was among the only players to break par, along with Byron Nelson, Lloyd Mangrum, Harry Adams, and Jimmy Hines. Nelson's 68 was on Course No.1 par 70. Metz hung onto his lead during the second day of play, but Lloyd Mangrum and Byron Nelson who were only one and two strokes away were challenging him.
Despite the fact that Nelson was not in the lead until the final rounds, he had played outstanding golf during the entire event. On the final day, Nelson came from behind to win his first Western Open. As one sports writer put it, "While all of his rivals were playing boy scout in the woods, water and sand of Medinah's Course No.3, the cool, nerveless, Nelson hewed to the fairway and delivered." He shot 52 pars, 11 birdies, and 9 bogies to win with a 281, 2 under par. Lloyd Mangrum was second and Henry Picard was third. Wilfred Wehrle was top amateur.
Over 11,000 spectators filled the galleries during the tournament, and ten correspondents reported the event with 150,000 words over the Western Union wires. In addition to the events at Medinah, in 1939 the wires were also humming with the news of the beginning of the war in Europe, and Time magazine named Josef Stalin, Man of the Year.
1937 - Chicago Open
The 1937 Chicago Open at Medinah was unique in several ways. The $10,000 in winnings was the richest medal play golf event of the season, proceeds of the tournament were to be used to form a caddie welfare foundation, and for the first time in the Midwest, the competing field of champions included six members of a victorious American Ryder Cup team: Gene Sarazen, Ralph Guldahl, that year's National Open Champion; Sam Snead, runner-up to Guldahl's then record score of 281; Horton Smith, Johnny Revolta, and Henry Picard.
The field of 407 players included Babe Didrickson, the only woman, to play in the tournament, a "Masked Marvel," mystery golfer, and two young boys who were considered to be golf prodigies, for what a sports writer termed "a golf extravaganza."
All competitors played one round on Course No.1, and No.3 on Friday and Saturday. The field was narrowed down to 86 for the final 36 holes played on Course No.3 on Sunday. On the first day on Course No.3, Bill Mehlhorn was the winner, and the only player to break par shooting a 70. Gene Sarazen was one stroke back with Harry Cooper and Horton Smith close behind. On Saturday, Sarazen's 72 on Course No.1 tied him with Harry Adams and George Smith at 144.
Gene Sarazen had a comfortable lead in the final round, and in the afternoon, Cooper, Smith, Laffoon and Runyan challenged him. One by one, they dropped behind. Paul Runyan had a chance for a tie with Sarazen, but when his ball landed close to the edge of a stream, and the wind raised a wave that washed the ball into the water, Runyan had to go back to the tee and play another ball, and he was no longer a threat to Sarazen. Gene Sarazen was the winner. Ky Laffoon, Harry Cooper, and Horton Smith tied for second.
In addition to Sarazen and Smith, the other Ryder Cup team members that finished in the money included Sam Snead, Raplph Guldahl, Henry Picard and Johnny Revolta. Soon after the 1937 Ryder Cup, WWII began in Europe. The Ryder Cup competition would not take place again until 1947.
1935 - Second Medinah Open
The Second Medinah Open featured four rounds on the Bendelow re-designed and lengthened par 71 Course No.3. There was a starting field of one hundred three players. Johnny Revolta of Milwaukee had just won the Western Open Championship, and was favored to win at Medinah. He shot a 69 in the first round with five birdies earned by sinking four ten to fifteen foot putts. Frank Walsh and Ray Mangrum tied for second with 71. "Lighthorse Harry" Cooper, head professional at Glen Oak Country Club, who won at Medinah in 1930, had a 73 that put him three down on the leader board. (The nickname, inspired by Cooper's quick playing style, was given to him by sportswriter, Damon Runyon.)
During the second round, Revolta continued to lead with a three over par. However, Harry Cooper and Alvin Kreuger pulled into the second and third positions. By the final day, the field had narrowed down to fifty-five players. At the end of the final round, Cooper had scored three consecutive rounds of 72, and just after he posted his final score of 289, Revolta came up to the 18th hole needing a three to tie Cooper. Kreuger had just finished the hole with a birdie. Revolta's ball reached the green twelve feet from the pin. His putt missed the hole by two inches. Harry Cooper won the tournament, and Johnny Revolta was second. Frank Walsh, Horton Smith, and Tommy Armour, Medinah's new head professional, tied for sixth. Course No.3 gave up only two under par rounds, one each to Willie Groggin and Johnny Revolta. The purse was $3,500, and proceeds benefited the Shriner's Hospital for Crippled Children.
In 1937, Harry Cooper won the Vardon Trophy, and was the PGA tour money leader. It has been said that he was a fine golfer, yet he never won a major national tournament championship. He came in second in the 1936 U.S. Open, and in the 1936 and 1938 Masters. Cooper joined the PGA in 1923, and when he died in 2000, at age ninety-six, he was the longest serving member.
1930 - Inaugural Medinah Open
It was during the Great Depression, and Medinah's Championship Course No. 3 had been open for two years. That summer, Abe Espinosa, Medinah's head professional, had scored a 65 on the par 70 course. Medinah's membership had already accepted Thomas Bendelow's redesign of Course No. 3 when they decided to schedule the Inaugural Medinah Open as the club's first national event.
Medinah's $3,000 in prize money attracted a field of one hundred of the nation's top golfers that included Gene Sarazen, Tommy Armour and Chick Evans. The competitors played one round on Course No.1 and No. 3. Four thousand spectators turned out to watch the golf, and to get their first glimpse of Medinah.
Gene Sarazen, holder of the Western Open title that year, shot a 78 in his morning round. Harry Cooper, head professional at Glen Oak Country Club in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, was a local favorite, yet he was just one of fifteen players who scored 73 or better in their first round. Leo Diegel of Agua Caliente, California, former national professional champion, shot a 69.
Sarazan finished his afternoon round with an amazing 65. He led the field until Laurie Ayton of Evanston, tied his final score of 143. Next, Lou Diegel finished with 140. The game was still going at dusk, when it was reported that Harry Cooper was completing a potentially record breaking finish.
Cooper had a poor start that afternoon when he hit a tree off the first tee and took a 5, one over par. Then he proceeded to score a par or a birdie for most of the round. He managed a total of seven birdies. On the 12th hole, 570 yards, he was on with two woods, and holed a ten footer for an eagle. His final score on Course No. 3 was a record 63 to win the tournament. Leo Diegel was second, while Gene Sarazen and Laurie Ayton tied for third.
