Lol. Doesn't a good man (often naively) preach about changing one's ways while offering a chance at redemption?
Then why get rid of the MC? Keeping him around to incite such behavior would have been more productive.
Huh? The MC was tossed almost immediately. iirc it was like five minutes or so after they arrived in that world. What kind of growth could she have expected any of them to have in such a short time? Do you mean to say they're expected to grow stronger by the second, even just by existing alone?To show what happens to the others if they don't grow. It's a threat.

That idea doesn't really hold up without giving them time to grow first though.No, if they don't grow as she wishes, she'll send them in the Dungeon or just kill them in a way or an other.
Vicius is a vain, capricious bitch who will lie and use the weaker heroes as leverage to make those who have a conscious in line.That idea doesn't really hold up without giving them time to grow first though.
This has nothing to do with our conversation—or at least not the part you referenced. So, I'm not really sure where you're going with this.Vicius is a vain, capricious bitch who will lie and use the weaker heroes as leverage to make those who have a conscious in line.
Again, Vicius is vain. She wants the students to shine so they reflect on her apparent magnaninity. To that end, she will let them try to get stronger. If they fail to meet her standards, she capriciously disposes of them.This has nothing to do with our conversation—or at least not the part you referenced.

Not really as this still doesn't address the part of our conversation you quoted. I understood the content of what you wrote the first time. What's missing is its relevance to that quote.Again, Vicius is vain. She wants the students to shine so they reflect on her apparent magnaninity. To that end, she will let them try to get stronger.

Better?
From my response, "Again, Vicius is vain. She wants the students to shine so they reflect on her apparent magnaninity.To that end, she will let them try to get stronger." Vicius allows the lesser ranks to try and get stronger to see if they can become stronger, and kill more demons, and make her look better. They also are leverage to keep the stronger and moral students in line. Betrayal from stronger heroes would be bad pr, so if they do it, the weaker ones are killed.Not really as this still doesn't address the part of our conversation you quoted.

I see where the confusion lies. You're talking about the students after the MC was removed whereas the comment you replied to was about the proposed reasoning behind the MC's removal. So yeah, not relevant.From my response, "Again, Vicius is vain. She wants the students to shine so they reflect on her apparent magnaninity.To that end, she will let them try to get stronger."
