Seems like Argus knew mc could do better then stay in his party, but he knew mc wouldn't leave because he felt indebted to Argus.
So Argus provoked him into leaving to do something better with his life
I see so many in this comment section don't like the idol part and decide to ditch this manga just because of it. Seriously? That simple?
It's a fantasy world. FANTASY. Any shit could happen. ANY SHIT. Even if it mean it got idol in it.
Give a manga at least 5 chapters or more before decide to abandon it or not.
Argus was a good dude, a bit harsh, but he definitely said the right thing.
The MC is not thinking with his head about what he can do, he was just following Argus instead of carving his own path.
Agreed, CyanHide. Honestly MC screwed himself over on that one by making a public spectacle out of his party's dysfunction. Argus's options were limited, since the MC painted a target on his own back.
MC is too emotional here... And Argus is actually really cared about him. Damn... And then he just gotta be betrayed by a thot. Talk about inconvenient timing...
The team leader genuinely cared for the MC. He knew that they were holding him back and wanted to cut him lose so that the MC could soar to higher ranks in a better party. Unfortunately he was very naive to be with such a woman and was betrayed at the worse time, shattering what was left of his self confidence.
