Japanese Text: わくわくする …

English: It’s exciting!

Japanese:

しばたみづき

Shibata, Midzuki (in Hiragana)

Tastuya’s classmate. Her classroom seat is next to our protagonist’s seat. Although she is simple, she acts like a soothing, younger-sister manga character and she can boast a high popularity with the upperclassmen. Because of her hypersensitivity to spirit particle light, she wears glasses something quite unusual during these times.

Japanese: "い, いや別になんでもないよ"
English: No, it’s nothing.

Japanese:
吉田幹比古
よしだみきひこ
達也のクラスメイト. 古式魔法の名家. 過去に起きたとあるアクシデントによって [二科生”ウイード”]に甘んてじるが,その魔法技術に関しては [一科生(ブルーム)] にもひけを取らない力を持つ.

Tatsuya’s classmate. He is from a distinguished family of ancient ritual magic users. Because of a past accident he was relegated to the rank of second course or “Weed”, but his magic techniques are equal in power to those of first course students or “Blooms”.

Again these are very rough translations and could use help...

128.103.235.152: Rough translation of captions

For those interested in translations of the images. I've been working on them out of my own curiosity. Here is what this one says. I am posting both my understanding of what the Japanese text is and my English translation. I'm not very proficient in Japanese, so if anyone wants to correct errors, please do so.

Text in quotes: "私は….戦いたいと思います. 深雪と本気で競うことのできる機会なんて, この先何回あるか…
私はこのチャンスを逃したくないです."

English: “I want to fight… I think.
After this time, how many more chances will I have to truly compete with Miyuki…?
I don’t want to miss this opportunity.”

Text below:
北山雫
きたやましずく
一年A 組.
深雪のクラスメイト.
大出力の振動--加速系魔法を得意とする.
一見表面上クールな面持ちで, ほのかとは性格が対照的.

Translation:
Kitayama, Shizuku (Again text in Kanji first then the reading in Hiragana)
First year, A course. Miyuki’s classmate.
Her strength is high output oscillation and acceleration magic.
Her face seems at first glance to be that of a cool person, completely opposite to Honoka's personality.

This one is one I'm least sure of, so it probably needs a lot of help.

128.103.235.152: Rough translation of text image.

I just wanted to add my rough translation of the text. I am putting the Japanese below so that others, if they want can check my translation with more ease:

Text in quotes: "北山さんわたしと試合を望むであれば, わたしの方にそれをお断りする理由はありません"

Translation: "If Kitayama-san wishes to have a match with me, I have no reason to refuse."

Bottom Text:
司波深雪
しばみゆき
司波兄妹の妹.一年A組所属.魔法科高校に主席で入学したエリート. [花冠(ブルーム)]と呼ばれる一科生徒で,得意分野は[冷却魔法].唯一の愛すべき欠点は[重ブラコン].

Translation:
Shiba, Miyuki (This appears in Kanji first, then in hiragana)

The younger sister of the Shiba siblings. First year, A-Course student.
An elite who ranked first on the entrance exam to Magic High School.
A first course student or “Bloom” as they are called, who specializes in “ice magic.”
Her one and only loveable fault being her severe brother complex.

Note that "冷却魔法" is literally cooling or refrigeration magic. That sounds really odd in English, whereas "ice magic" sounds more natural. Since I'm not a native Japanese speaker, I don't know if it is supposed to sound odd.
