Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival - Ch. 29

[Kampfarsch]

She never could have won without gourd, and she would have died had he not blocked the curse for her. Plus other prep as well.

Big dudes entire contribution this fight fight was hitting some stragglers and taking care of the dwarf
This entire battle works on the fact that every person in the guild is a conceited idiot, even though we were only ever told its the opposite

I don’t think you understand how the poison works. It’s a slow acting poison (it had to be because poison resistance would’ve reacted to a stronger poison and alerted them) that’s been building up in their system for several days, whereas she’s been coming and going so she’s not as exposed. Also, and probably more importantly, she has light magic which lets her nullify any poison that she knows the structure of.

heck, she literally killed that First party of adventurers a dozen chapters ago by poisoning herself and them at the same time. But she was fine because she used light magic to negate it.

this was also spelled out when the princess treated her injury after the assassin cut her. She had to explain the poison and its ingredients to the princess for her to negate the poison.

"The poison masters didnt notice the poison, it makes sense dude"

I think that was a very good question, thank you scanalators.

did you know that utoon sniped this

course they did. last i remember they were banned here so theres that at least.

She is 8. Though she has the memories and the knowledge of a middle aged Japanese woman that just so happened to be a complete psychopath. Which makes her a very dangerous (and messed up) 8 year old.

Oh, then, this is scarier

The most historically accurate thing that can be compared to an assassin guild are the ninjas.
And while they were well trained, they were absolutely not made to go 1vs1 against a samurai. They were supposed to be unnoticed, their victims were supposed to notice them only after being stabbed or poisoned. And after doing what they did, they were supposed to run away unnoticed as they came.
But is the surprise factor that made Aria able to pull off this plan. And is a very powerfull factor.
Ok maybe is not completely realistic, but come on... what is realistic about this manga? Is about a loli with magic powers that is the protagonist of an hentai visual novel for fujoshi, but decided to become an assassin. Some exageration here and there is expected.
And considering that 99% of the other manga would have their protagonist smashing through the door, spout some nonsense about friendship, and just punch in the face everyone, i really have no major complaint about this outcome.

Your premise is incorrect. Ninjas didn't work like this assassins guild at all. There used to be villages with people sharing this "ninja culture" which worked basically as a big family of mercenaries for a specific warlord in the region. Having a separate branches across the country and working independently is completely unheard of for ninjas. Not to mention, they were espionage/reconnaissance units, not assassins.

This assassins guild operates way closer to how gangs or mafias in europe have worked for centuries and that should make it much easier for you to see the comparison with soldiers.

Also, keep in mind I never questioned realism here. I was just making fun of a previous poster who was making silly stereotypes

Only a person who do not fear death will attempt such a lethal trap that does not have a guaranteed escape. Aria's instincts are very animalistic I like how it grows stronger.

 

[s-r-g-b]

This chapter inspired me to read ahead in the LNs to see how lethal she ends up.

God damn. She's stone cold.

"Big dude" caused chaos. He destroyed everything around him and killed everyone he could see. Even when facing dino and the witch, he was an obstacle they had to be wary of which split their focus.

As for the poison, it's a slow-acting poison that they've only been exposed to for a couple days. It didnt horribly cripple them to the point where they couldn't move, but it slowed their reactions down enough that mc was able to get the upper hand.

As for why they couldn't treat the poison:

First, light magic is pretty rare. i believe you need the right affinity for it, but it might just be hard to learn. And what's more, you can't learn it if you've already learned 2-3 other elements. That's because each element you learn causes a crystal to be created in your heart which can cause major damage. MC has 2 and that's fine, but if she had 3, her physical abilities would be much weaker. I believe her teacher has 3 and thats the reason she cant fight much anymore. The princess has 4 and as a result, she'll probably not live to adulthood and can never have children. It's why she lost her claim to the throne.

Second, treating poison requires knowing its exact ingredients and mc uses special poisons designed by her master that are hard to detect/identify. Actually, she's probably the only poison master in the guild. Dino likely learned a bit about them from her, but the witch uses curses and the dwarf hits hard. Neither really scream poison expert

I think we might need to put this into the credits next week but aria's poison was basically this
1) original drugs were just common medicine to relieve nerves and tension, she added it slowly to their water supply and since it is technically just medicine, their skills didn't pick up on it
2) the second drug she used activated the true "poison" in the medicine and by the time it was in their system, it was too late and they were all paralyzed
