I still feel like the whole thing with dog boy was unnecessary. Like, what's the point? So he could show off the same abilities again and have another but significantly less meaningful antagonist compared to the princess? I get that dog boy is just being a bitch about it but why did the mc even bother to fight him in the first place? Does the author think someone should come and beat up your drill sergeant when they are mean to you? Again, they have a healer and are doing combat training. They already showed people getting their bones broken during training anyway. So why did he step in and why did this spiral?
