Oh absolutely. The system is very fucked in hands of bad people. In the borders of the Republic, as long as you aren't facing another favorite of the tree you can basically do whatever you want if you are favored by it.
I think in the novels some other fuckos kill another student besides Noele...
The tree is foundation of this country. It favors a small selection of people it marks. This gives that selection of people additional powers beyond magic. With it this doofus was able to beat up one of Marie's chucklefucks (who are VERY good at fighting) like it was nothing.
This creates your...
Because the ruling elite can rely on the tree to win. Tree likes humans with the sigil and will pretty much help if they are in dures.

More to the chapter.
Preeeeety sure I do not remmber modern internal combustion cars being in the Republic. I could imagine them, being rich, using mana stones or whatever to fuel them, but they even have a truck for stairs for the ship.
Also CGI is very obvious and not well layered into the scene
Of course it's skewed in the favor of the elite. You can bet your ass that in original game this wiould be a cheap gimmick to put the protag in a bind only for her to whip out he higher status and turn tables.

I didn't make the upload under wrong name specifically to avoid the rules. I picked that group because it looked like the correct one and did not notice the difference. Practically the same thing, but intent matters I think.
Mods should do whatever is most appropriate and wipe the chapters if...
Mangafire doesn't seem to have chapter 77, and Chapter 76.2 has been uploaded twice. So I'd assume these uploads have also been done by randos unaffiliated with the group.
Or scrapers if mangafire does that.
I'd suggest doing those chapters that have missing pages on Bato.to. Or just skipping to doing the most recent released chapter. I think 77 is last is on Bato.to, but I would certainly preffer to not have to jump through bunch of hoops to keep up to date on this.
