THE HOT TEACHER IS A GOD?!

 

[AccForManga]

Well that was certainly an unexpected twist. ._.

 

[Agoengss]

Interesting twists.

 

[orangerain7734]

Dang ... that's a twist I didn't expect.

 

[IvanDFakkov]

Didn't see that coming.

 

[Elhao]

Everyone saying they didn't see that twist coming. Well of course. We just came out of the loredump on the celestial and demon gods and there was zero foreshadowing. (I'm open to being proven wrong on this)

Anyway, I prefer her methods over the kingdom's. One point for the gods.

 

[isoycrazy]

I figured the lady teacher would be special, but this is interesting.

It should be interesting to see how the cute princess girl will react to learning her beloved gods are actually the villains.

 

[ciera]

If evil, why hot?

 

[Shadowcrazy4]

Oh ok cool evil and hot the usual configuration.

 

[Aboideau]

I figured the lady teacher would be special, but this is interesting.

Yeah, I also thought that her character design was way too good to just be some random magic instructor. Especially since she wasn't used in any fan-service-y way.

But man, do I love her beautiful design

 

[odannyc85]

its always the hot ones you have to look out for.

So are the gods trying to get humanity wiped out

 

[kaminomikan]

so the enemy was that close...

So are the gods trying to get humanity wiped out

Trope/Plotwise there's many ways the "celestials" can...use... humans. Certainly not as equal partners, but definitely as agents of their will.

The huge lore dump established the "celestials" are diminished in power, so presumably cannot act too directly in the world.
The human/dragon pact seems to be a major hindrance to them, as they're dead-bent on breaking it. Could be, because as shown, humans can learn "draconic" levels of magic. Or at least a sufficient number of them to be a threat to the "celestials". Not many dragons, but large amounts of humans. Who seem to have forgotten "some basics" over time. There's definitely a "Lost Lore" plot thread running.

There's a lot of very Asian things going on in this story that ..doesn't translate quite well to Western European..
I think the translation of "Dark/Demon" Gods is fundamentally flawed, especially given what is in the lore dump we got. It's just that there simply isn't a proper western equivalent.
I think the closest we have in western mythology is the opposition of the Jötunr ( as embodyments of natural phenomena) versus the Alfar ( embodyments of the Ethereal ) in Nordic mythology.
And no, the Alfar/Fae were very much not nice , nor were they on the side of humanity (Aesir/Vanir)... Only their own, ever.
(Edit: currently, to my knowledge, the only Manga that conveys how bloody dangerous Fae/Alfar are would be Magus' Bride. And that one's Seinen for a good reason..)

It's funny how a light story about your usual OP protag running into Tropes still has some pretty deep background regarding current and past cultural ...associations...
Let's just hope the author doesn't bugg'r things up.

THE HOT TEACHER IS A GOD?!

More like a pawn of the celestial gods

 

[Xonthelon]

Nooooo!!! The sexy, competent teacher can't be evil!!!

Thank god(dess?) the father-son pair won't return as recuring joke-villains.

 

[Ravenito]

Was this the maximum sentence this stupid manga gives for someone who almost gaves a reason for humans to be wiped out ? Another trash manga for kids I guess

 

[JBlazer]

Oh.
Well, that answers a few of my questions.
