Though Tachi and I are in the middle of discussing some ideas, feel free to ask anything that you are interested to know, or point out anything that you feel should be changed or to look out for.

@Tachi

The imouto didn't inversify, but you can't exactly say she is normal also. Though I already planned her reappearance, I'm still thinking how to explain it in words.

People don't actually think what's going on because they don't know the existence of magic and monsters. The only reason they will think that way, its either they have interest in the occult (stuff like ghosts, UMA and such) or that they are chuuni =P. So anyway, the mysterious disappearances will just look like a chain of missing people cases which could be caused by kidnapping, murder or anything, just that it seems like there is a spike in crime involving missing people in the past few years.

MC doesn't exactly pretend to be normal. He's technically back to his original self, just that he has this guilt haunting him. And it is a known fact to people close to him, that he have been having nightmares often.

He is quick at learning about magic, and might be good at casting/chanting to trigger spells, but the spell is pretty slow to activate as he has no latent potential in regards to magic since he wasn't born with it in his blood or trained since young. So instead of using powerful spells, he uses a chain of basic spells since he doesn't have much issues triggering them.

About sword and brains, I wasn't exactly trying to link them, more of just listing information about MC. He uses a sword cause it has relatively basic 'stats' and usage. For eg, considering that a battle axe or lance are heavy and would slow him down, and a bow/gun would have limited ammo, a sword is pretty useful as you can just hack-and-slash without much restrictions. Its just that he uses a sword more often, but does not limit himself to it. About him having more brains than brawns, I mean he settle problems by exploring various solutions and trying out several plans, instead of just settling every problem with his fists (or sword in this case). And he isn't muscular, very sporty, martial arts trained or something, he was just a regular highschool student who got some physical buff from his Gate, thus the not-so-much brawns.

The organisation isn't a magic school. Sure it would have a school as 1 of its various divisions/departments, but it is more of a law enforcing organisation that judges criminals who isn't a regular person (aka non human, human with abilities/magic). The magic school would be like an equivalent of a police academy. And no, the main character does not join the school and there are only minimal scenes of the magic school.

Seeking answers over vengeance suits MC's personality more and it would be out of character for him to suddenly be full of bloodlust.
