NGL, the girl is pretty ballsy. Insulting and fighting the literal princess of the Empire she lives in. Who single handedly crushed an invasion.

Never make a promise your not willing to keep. No matter how confidant you are.

 

[remtap]

You dare to use my own theorem to test me, principal?

They're all running on "We're Equal at the School" logic sort of forgetting the notion that any enemies they make there could just ya know hold on to the grudge and just take it out on them when out of the School.

 

[Elaborate]

According to the translation, range was a requirement ("destroy the target from this range").

The translation could probably be better there. I think "take a step into" or "step foot into" might be clearer, because it emphasizes how it's not a full step until she actually touches the ground.

But basically, she launched a ballistic missile from the required range, destroying the target. It's just that the missile was herself.

 

[pandatime]

indeed
we might forget it but
Girl is not just a musclehead
she.... she actualyl is smart too uuh I think

 

[rawrma]

[Carn109]

Easy answer if you're the one who wrote it
Looking forward to the naked handstand

According to the translation, range was a requirement ("destroy the target from this range"). Page 12 shows her inside the circle with the targets.

The only plausible explanation for how she passed the test is that the translation was wrong. He likely should've said, 'Use any means necessary, and destroy the target without leaving this area.' That would align with her confirming what exactly constitutes leaving said area. This way, no test requirements were broken, and everything makes sense.

It's like you are reading only half of what I'm saying. Are you intentionally being ignorant? I literally explained it clear as day for you. It doesn't matter what the first thing he said was. She asked for clarification, and he told her her body can pass into the circle, as long as she doesn't STEP into it. She did not step into it. it's that simple. He trapped himself with his own words. Also it doesn't matter who is inside the circle on page 12, what matters is one of them is, but in panel 3 neither of them are, so that means they both moved. So the current distance is unclear.

The translation might be wrong, but even if it isn't, what happened still works. You are just literally ignoring everything after the first statement.
If someone said to you "eat all of this food in the time limit." That could mean "I have to swallow." But if you ask "So as long as it's in my mouth we're okay?" And they say "Yes, as long as it's all inside you at the end of the timer we're good." that means if you just have the food in your mouth and haven't swallowed it is now good. Because the clarification elaborated on a general statement, and gave you specifics. Specific rules overwrite general rules when they clash.

It's as if you aren't reading any of what I wrote, or what the translator wrote, or even looking at the images in the chapter. One of us being ignorant, that's for sure, but it certainly isn't me.

If the first thing he said about the test restrictions doesn't matter, then why say it? She only asked for clarification about leaving the area, not about the range requirement.

The rest of your post is nonsense that fails to hold up to your own misconception. Pages 11 and 12 clearly indicate their positions. The principal stood a short distance outside the circle, while the princess stood a bit farther away inside the circle. That is when he stipulated the range restriction, and she clarified the area restriction - neither had moved yet.

During her questioning, she asks, "Let's say that I use a fireball, would it count as a violation if my arms and legs would leave the ring?" to which he replies, "That would be no problem. As long as you don't step outside... That is." While in her imagination bubble on page 11, the image shows a human figure with one arm and leg inside the ring, while the other set, with the fireball, is outside the ring.

If, as you suggest, stepping inside the ring results in failure (no idea how you came to this conclusion), then she would've failed for doing so. Page 9 shows that the targets are inside the ring, and page 12 shows her standing inside the ring with the targets right before she starts her running jump.

So, even if you try to construe the events of the chapter as something else entirely, your own misconception denies you, and she still failed.

 

[lenovoaxioo]

10 chapters ups and i can conclude.

This is just Mathias, but a girl

 

[parkourse]

orayt, naked handstand, let's see it

 

[Scrabbleman]

I'm aware the test was rigged for the princess to fail. That's why I don't understand why the principal allowed her to pass after she clearly broke the rules. He got what he wanted but turned it away, which doesn't make sense.

She didn't break the rules. There is no rule that says she has to stay at a range from the target. She simply used herself as a projectile.

If this is considered rule-breaking, then how is it any different than shooting a fireball? A fireball can considered part of the person since they shot it out. What if she cut her hand off and threw it? Would that be rule-breaking?

 

[Yuyu_yusha]

Now, it's unladylike to break promise. Go do the handstands and don't mind me with the recording device.

But, let's be real here guys, as much as we want to witness the handstands, the MC gonna pull out some honor friendship bullshit from his/her ass and annul the handstands.

 

[karpad]

Thanks for the upload!

 

[Manlaimax]

I actually forgor about the past wizard life.

But wow she has the brains and the brawn huh, this is ridiculous but that's basically the point.

Same lol. If no one knew her past life, one would usually assume she was a fighter or a brawler in her past life lol. Nothing she does is wizard-like.

A) Attacking from a certain range doesn't necessarily mean that you have to maintain that distance from you to the target. If you can hit that target in one "action," then it is "in range." Your fixation with having to maintain a certain distance probably comes from modern weaponry and its associated common sense while failing to realize that in a fantasy setting, that fails to apply. For an example more grounded in real life, we could have a similar example where a target is placed with a line drawn half a meter from it, and we are told to hit the target from this distance, or "range." We could pick up a long stick from the nearby forest and whack the target, but we decide to just kick it instead. Most of us would agree that we followed the rules and hit the target from half a meter away, but the distance between us and the target, at the point of impact, is zero (Well, not really zero technically but you get the point.) Hence, your argument makes little sense and you should probably reconsider the situation.

B) On page 12, we indeed see her standing on the side of the targets, but only for the first panel. The other panels do not indicate where her position was. From that, we can assume that there was a gap in time between that panel and the other ones where she walked back across the line before running that the artist didn't bother drawing. I cannot exactly prove that she did that, but by judging from the context (how there was no vocal objection from the principal), we can reasonably establish that she started her attack from beyond the line.

C) I re-read the pages in question multiple times, and I think I understand your confusion. The art's quite trash at depicting the situation, and there are multiple consistency problems. In this type of situation we should rely more on surrounding context and the text itself. Upon checking the raws, the translations seem pretty accurate, although there is no use of an equivalent word for "range" used, so that part may just be the translator's creative liberty. The raws use 範囲 instead, which typically means area.

Handstand around the school courtyard let's f*cking goooooo~!
