It's the birth of the wall-anemone, I was looking forward to this one!
Occho is much more regally dressed than I expected, but still, nice to see her. Also, very much looking forward to the events that will likely be covered in the next chapter

Thanks for the translation!

Another thing that was cut from the manga version, but Berg is actually very strict about keeping to his own rules, because he figures it's the only way to keep every member of his guild as safe as possible (that's also the reason for the hours long lecture he gave "Silver" this chapter, he feels extremely bad about potentially sending adventurers to their death, so he wants to make sure they are as prepared as possible before taking on a quest). One of those rules is that every adventurer starts at Iron rank, no matter what.
I actually really like that he is doing that consistently, even with someone of such apparently outlandish strength.

I'm glad that everyone else talked about the punching, so I can focus on:

This manga is trying to collect tags as quickly as possible. It went from shenanigans with nobles, briefly swerved into an academy arc, and then off to adventuring. Might as well do cooking next, who knows?

I assume she's part of the "turns edible food into toxic waste" camp, that generally seems like the go-to "flaw" for OP female protags.

That is valid.

what is the point of making the sword saint an examiner if you are going to put anyone who passed in iron rank anyways?

I assume for people who aren't coming with cheat stat like hers, the high rank examiner can observe the applicant's skill during that 3 minute timer to give a judgement at the end.
Landing a hit on him is just immediate passing, they never said she'd fail if she can't land a hit.

I always find it annoying when they use Japanese inflated currency and just substitute it with gold coins. Can you imagine she returns to cash in the herb gathering quest and they give her a bag of 10 000 individual gold coins.
If you want to use Japanese denomination as to be more relatable to Japanese people just make up a bullshit currency, don't use gold coins.

Yeah, that's why zennies are a thing in most JRPGs.

He can casually gauge/test how strong a person going all out does without any danger (normally) and let them get a hit in once he’s studied their competency.

The MC prefer to go adventuring somewhere far away, but who would cover her in the house while she's away? Does she leave behind like substitute doll like in Perman? Or her maid becomes nonsense lying spouting machine?

She's probably not going to be gone that long. With her insane stats, she might be able to just hulk jump there and back.

he looked too arrogant to let them hit so easily, i guess that normally he would play with them for a long time and after it he would go "oh you go to iron rank"... but our mc destroyed him and still got iron rank, they should at least increase her rank by 1 or 2

and this is the question, how many people actually hit him to pass? and she still got iron rank lol it is the cliche "he must have let silver hit him for no good reason at all"

Again:
Hitting him = instant pass on the spot
Not hitting him does NOT equal failure, it just means he/others will judge your performance over that 3 minutes.

A japanese authors ability to take literally any decent introduction to a story and immediately shit it down the adventurer guild filler quest hole needs to be studied
I'm saying. Not gonna pretend the intro was revolutionary or anything but it really did ace the "bog standard
reincarnation slop ANY%" category

... has the author already lost interest in his "Saintess trying to be villainess" premise? Why mix in an adventuring main quest, splitting the focus severely.

Even bullshit currency makes no sense. Basically any fantasy country would be on gold/silver standard, and 10000 of anything there doesn't make absolutely any sense (even copper coins).
10000 gold coins, even assuming 1 gram per coin, translate to 10 kg of gold, which would be a fortune back then (and is fortune even now).
10 kg of silver would be at best case scenario few months of wages (and probably closer to 2-3 years, based on historical records).
10000 copper coins is just dumb

What irks me is that authors can just pick an existing system that was in use (USA, Great Britain, Latin Monetary Union, old Japanese system, whatever), change the names and have something that makes sense. But no, we get fantasy yen almost every time.

LMU is basically copy/paste, has everything needed (based on grams, uses copper, silver and gold, divides by 100), just need to change names to whatever suits the work and done. Maybe change gold:silver ratio to 12.5 from 15.5 so 10 francs will be 2 grams, if this will even remotely matter in the story.
