I don't understand this fucking "DON'T STAND OUT§§§§§§" thing. That's so popular, but it only leads to boring reads where a clumsy as fuck MC is just doing dumb things after another.
It's the Mile problem. "I want to have an average life", while being way, way too powerful for that to be an option and just clueless enough to not think of a good way out.

Is somewhat worse, mile has weakness (read, overwhelming power from 2 well trained elder dragons) and equal footing (if you balance things they are) companions but mary is as strong as a legendary oni and durable as a metal king slime and no one with she can banter well (yet?)
im going to chime in on the "no stand out" discussion. think it has to do with mentality of "the nail that sticks up will be pounded down" conformity culture many grow up in.
also she may not want the responsibility and expectation the society would have if he power was general knowledge. look how much she stress in this chapter about "expectations" also dont forget the fear she would cause as well... the "rejected/feared/they dispose of hero trope is there for a reason.
