Just finished chapter 17, refreshed… and oh look its chapter 18! God bless

 

[R0dr1g0-Shin]

That guy got REKT

 

[Aliamus]

"Did I hear you talking shit?"​

 

[Xeroslayer]

Cliff hanger! Nooooo! I need my cathartic resolution!!

 

[Valve]

Good old asia, where everyone is always powertripping.

Honestly the stereotypical mob villain looking type is acting nicer than I thought they would be

 

[Elhao]

While it is a pretty tired trope that the team does not accept the strong new rookies it becomes so much dumber when one of them spells out that dungeons have only existed for a year and thus they don't even really have that much more experience.

Honestly the stereotypical mob villain looking type is acting nicer than I thought they would be

He made fun of them and their lack of experience (not having a lot himself) and openly said that if they told anyone about how they were treated no one would believe them anyways (meaning he'd take the opposing side). And that AFTER they'd taken care of an escaped goblin that might have killed someone (which somehow according to him was "messing up the team").
He could have only antagonized them harder by throwing a punch.

 

[screamdoom]

Bust yo ass, blud just got ratted

 

[Dezaki]

Do we really need to spend a whole chapter just to hear mob talking shit? This interaction could've been a few pages (panel) only.

Real professional would just said 2-3 word then do the work, not spending whole day to trash talk kids

 

[Shiden]

When Mob-san started off reasonably polite, I hoped we'd get a subversion, where he only looks like the sort of garbage mob we usually see.

But nope. Mob's gonna mob.

 

[BlackElite]

So they already expect this kind of attitude, but went ahead to test it? I think body cam like police ones are easier to use than directly going to the site... Considering the branch head position and their usual busyness

He had several ways to antagonise them without throwing a punch, in fact he started out fairly polite, introducing himself and the others basically, talking to them politely, he was the one who said that even if they're veterans, it's only a year so it's hard to call them veterans, (which is still more experience than 2 kids that just became adventurers, because the other world stuffis unknown), gave them advice on how to act (give introductions and get familiar with how the others work) and the plan, and gave reassurance that the B rank hunter that died only died because they didn't have full access to their abilities, so it's a safe mission, and that information is something that MC and FMC should be already aware of

Then things go downhill where he goes back to mob trash villain level, but the previous stuff he still only did at trash level, not trash mob villain level, which for his appearance was acting a lot better than expected

(tldr: he did do better than the standards, you're partially correct because the standards are abysmally low, but the dude was above the low standards, he also could've antagonised them a lot worst without needing to resort to physical violence)

I kinda wonder if he actually was better than generic mobs, but the presence of the dungeon somehow affected him - and maybe the dead Branker whose name I have already forgotten as well. Maybe it’s not just the ability to use magic that exists near the gate, but also a corrupting aura our MCs already have immunity against.

Being the only official guild representative there he had to adhere to the absolute minimum standard of courtesy and professionalism, his displeasure with them was clearly visible from his first panel though.

I guess our partial disagreement mostly stems from where we draw the line between what would have been professionally expected of anyone who'd officially represent the guild there, without violating its rules.

 

[lolfacesayshi]

Power harassment, truly a smol pp move

Professional displeasure is understandable. He's about as experienced as anyone can be, and his boss drops a couple kids who just got their licenses on him, and said they can take the lead? Of course he's not happy about it.

He falls back to a mob because he escalates it unnecessarily from there.

It's also the director's fault, because even if she thinks they're secretly S rank or whatever, their first operation should be acting as support and learning how the organization works. At most, they should get a "in case of emergency, use your own judgement" clause, not command over the whole mission.

These kids have already proven themselves to possess more power and battle sense than several C-rankers combined when B-rank is considered the top of what is reasonably achievable. Their age changes nothing about that. And he didn't just have to rely on some possibly embellished newspaper article to see that, he could (and should) have talked with his own colleagues if he was in doubt. Yet he decided to come there biased and hopefully will get removed next chapter.

Hmm, perhaps, I am looking this comparing the guy to other people who are stereotypically drawn so they are obvious villains (can't give names because they're kinda too irrelevant to irrelevant, but I guess that one annoying guy from the previous chapters who kept fucking things up would be a good example)

You're not that the dude is trash, but I'm comparing him to trash which makes him above average while your comparing him to actual competent people which seems to be where our different opinions come from

 

[DungeonsDragon]

Seems like the dude knows what his foot tastes like because that's where he put it lmao
