Timeskip felt a bit... abrupt? But at the same time I assume it's to keep the pacing up to get to the "good bits" (aka the revenge) since this manga doesn't seem to be focused on company building.
Anyways, her dealing with those bandits was ice cold. I was even a little taken aback and had to look the panel where she kills two goons twice over to make sure I was seeing correctly and that she'd killed them and it wasn't just impact lines.
