they are both pannels from chapter 1.2, for flashback stuff like that it tends to be reused pannels so you can go back to use them as referencepage 5 with the past hero stuff straight up killed me as a redrawer, my 2 months of experience did jack shit. i just had to follow in the steps of the greatest hero i know
To be fair, he immediately got all pissy and gave up on communicating like an adult as well. This could have been very easily solved with some more dialogue, but we can't have that because this is a comic for teenagers and we need muh dramalol, this bitch got the audacity to yell at him, despite she was the one who asked for an explanation, all because he gave the different kind of answer that she had hoped (she prolly thinks that he was missing to practice magic with some unknown person, and not going to isekai).
It was literally similar to what happened with science in the past, where many people believed that the Earth was the center of the solar system instead of the Sun, while they shunned others who said otherwise, and it stayed like that for a very long period until the renaissance era.Like this sucks but ultimately I get it, if you've grown up learnign magic and the rules of how it works and everything you ever learn says "humans cannot be summoned" "there is no other world with magic" then yeah even if those are both lies, because it figures that the people who do know there's another world, and know that you can summon human beings would want to keep that unknown, especially considering we've already been told this magic world is divided on how magic should be used and if it should be kept a secret.
Genuinely if you tell someone 2-2 equals 4 when they've been thaught all their life that's it equals to 5 then yes that person is wrong but faulting them for being wrong is stupid, because the people who taught them have purposely failed this person.
In much the same way Kozumi really can't be blamed for reacting like this when, yes to her he is just making shit up to avoid telling her why he disappeared and why it took him so long to come back.
i mean, it's kinda like the reverse here, all science says that the earth is a sphere, and a guy disapears and comes back saying the earth is a cube and it's all a conspiracy . now just replace science with magic, and the earth with human summoningShe is way too closed minded. Even if science proves the Earth is a sphere, people can still bravely believe the Earth is flat. People must think outside of the box with confidence.
