Maryoku Zero no Saikyou Kenja: Mahou Riron o Kiwametara, Sekai Saikyou ni Natteita - Vol. 1 Ch. 2.1 - He has zero magic power, so he tried taking in …

Page 9 panel 1 I'm pretty sure the dialogue is mixed up. She should be asking "Understood?" then he starts to reply in formal register "under-" before switching to informal "got it"

Thank you for the translation

"Herman, the Ogre? Hmm, someone else with the same name and epithet as my grandpa. What a coincidence." 🤣

I get a feeling they aren't seeing that... also I feel like, "My grandpa was nice to me his kid grandson, but is more stern at work." isn't that complicated of a concept. Come on. You can't be this oblivious. At the very least the natural progression is, "That wouldn't have happened to be [Grandpa's full name]" and then laugh about it.

And clearly they're going to have done poorly, something like 2 s-rank monsters with horrible accuracy, while he'll have every rodent and bird marked down on his map, just to emphasize how hes the greatest.

NGL, rather then an extended or higher detections fidelity, I'm more expecting the magitech engineer to craft a tool that will spit out printed maps with highly accurate magical beast movements on them. Or just constant image that tracks beasts in real time.

I’m guessing he doesn’t actually have no magic power, he actually has 67 quadrillion 69 million and 420,000 magic power but daddy grandpa realized if he shot a single fireball it would consume the atmosphere and incinerate all life on the planet so he sealed mc’s magic power to 0

and then when obvious female love interest is in danger he will awaken the magic power boner of the gods and save the day.

why didnt grandaddy seal it to 100 instead of 0? i dont fucking know its gonna be some bullshit reason like it builds character from Calvin & Hobbes

While I agree with your assessment, I can't help but to notice you're quite jaded with this medium. I recommend regular books. This unsolicited advice isn't actually for you, but for me. </3

 

[Yuyu_yusha]

So, to my understanding, the MC has no magic power, so in order for him to use magic he needs to infuse his body with magic from outside source. Like so? Or not?

 

[Tairo]

He's probably going to be way too detailed, isn't he? They will compare and theirs will just have a general number and species, while his will be drawing in their exact location or something.

 

[Artimid]

Do people not have reading comprehension!?

Okey to explain it simply for you kids.

What they means when they say he can't do magic, is that he can't generate magic.

That means to a normal person that would be the end of the conversation about their ability to do magic.

But he has studied magic to fantastical degree so he can manipulate others peoples spells.

That means that he can't do magic, he can do other people's magic.

Imagine people can generate clay, they can sculpt it to a spell and toss it. He yonks it an sculpt it for his own purpose.

Remember kids just because you dosn't understand something doesn't make it stupid, that's how we end up with flatearthers and aliens building the pyramids.

Except... clay is not something controlled in your own body. Originally it sounded like he was an outcast, not constantly being supplied unlimited magical power to control and work with by his family.

Outcast in high society maybe. We see that his family dotes and loves him, but until now he seems to be sheltered.

Maybe he thinks he a failure because when interacting with other aristocrats they would look down on him.

Ones self image would be distorted if you do not match the people around you.

And clay was an example, a simplified wording so the people that need little extra help could imagine the main concept of this story.

If you think people in real life can control magic in their body... I think we have some bigger issues than reading comprehension to discuss.

Looks like pretty much every one of us kids has been saying the same thing, more concisely. Tough I admit it's amusing to see you burst in, dressed in full Captain Obvious getup and yammer about reading comprehension. Irony is the bread and butter of comedy, after all.

Quite a few people are confused on how MC can cast spells, with some even going as far to say "They must think he has very little magic power" despite, less than two chapters ago, we saw Soldier Girl screaming about how "she can't accept someone with 0 magic power" so they dueled and MC absorbed the magic power from her spell to counter and win. So anyone who's asking "how can he cast spells if he has 0 magic power?" and "He probably has 69,420 Magic Power!" clearly only skimmed the story, if they read the words at all.

It would certainly be disappointing for the manga to turn out specifically this way, but I’d say there’s some potential.

We’ve seen magic tools certainly exist, so MC ideally makes heavy use of them in a sort of “return-to-sender” playstyle. Alternatively, batteries!

I’m just excited for this manga to turn out as Batman with Magic Tools. MC’s already made essentialy modern technology at 12, and is older now. Of course, it all depends on the author’s direction.
