Takeshi is alright. I bet a lot of the class had reservations about someone going from Class E straight to the special class but with that display everyone will instantly accept the MC. That's doing the MC a favor. I think they'll be good friends going forward.

Random bully character gets more development and compassion in a single chapter than kayo in the entire story?
How can a manga be this light on plot and still shit the sink?

In a novel, and hope in next chapter it was explained that Ken himself at that point was quite pissed off about other who who was higher in rank them him, principal an vice meddling, but being weaker than him. He is OG member of special class who was standing here by his skills alone, despite corruption.
ty for info, and it also makes sense why he would be a bit mad

Given how we saw how deadly his killing intent was last chapter, unless that school building is a far better dampener than the walls of the literal dungeon where he supposedly wiped out an entire floor, even at partial release, how many ordinary humans in the distance did he slaughter?

A good character would have flaws, having flaws doesn't make a good character.
The, your comment doesn't make any sense as to why you judge the MC as a bad character based on simply having that flaw.

Based on the setup, there's a good chance the author is going to explore this part of his character in the future.

How are you supposed to write a good character with a flaw if readers immediately judge them before the author had the time to explore this characterization.

MC is actually the one being immature and at fault here despite having more experience and actually he of all people should know why the guy is acting this way.
Extremely disappointed that the author wrote the MC like this(for a gag?). I mean how is he any different than his childhood friend blasting his killing intent? In fact it's worse since he knows it could kill them.
FWIW the MC did think to himself something to the effect of "I have no right to criticize Kayoko anymore [since I was just as bad]". (The TL couldn't figure this line out and just wrote it as "I can't say it's because of Kayoko".) Yes, the author did write this whole scene as a gag, similar to many other stories with OP protagonists who are a bit airheaded. I also think it would be tiring if the MC was repeatedly screwing up like this, and would make me think less of him, but clearly he's reflected on what he did wrong and I doubt we'll see it again. And it's not like he killed the guy, just made him faint on his feet. Though of course that's still overkill, since his only intention was to intimidate him a bit.

So... i was wrong.
is this phrase more accurate? "I can’t bring up Kayoko’s situation now..."

Hope MC ends up with the Chinese gurl. After all the BS he went through and doesnt get to spend time with his parents, boy deserves some genuine love.

I don't think you are wrong with the translation for that line. As what you wrote implies that in a natural way.

I get that there is going to discrepancies in the TL but in this case I think it's fine because of how it flows.

Yes the MC did a good job previously with saving the students and punishing those that abuse the adventure traits. But it still doesn't give him the right to do this stunt.

What the fuck author.
That is kinda the point since he literally had a PTSD episode starting from the childhood friend and classmate finally tipped it over. He is most certainly not a mentally sound individual because he got kidnapped as a kid and forced to live a do or die trying life for 10 years (which makes the whole "fuck you, i will return home" to princess at the start actually understandable).

Again, he has issues and its nothing short of a miracle that he is still this well adjusted.

The furthest you can parse this line literally is "Kayoko no koto ienai na" -> "[about Kayoko] [can't say] [huh]" -> "[can't say] [about Kayoko], [huh]". The phrase "[person] no koto ienai" is a common expression in Japanese with the literal meaning "don't have the ability to speak about [person]" and the intended meaning "don't have the right to speak critically about [person], because [I'm] the same".

When a person realizes/notices some flaw/mistake of theirs, and they remember that they had previously criticized (whether mentally or verbally) someone else for that same mistake, it's common for them to use this phrase in a self-deprecatory way.

So "bring up Kayoko's situation" would be a bit of a strange way to phrase it. He's only referring to being unable to criticize Kayoko in a general sense, it's not like he is "bringing up" Kayoko with anyone in particular. If you need to fit a TL into a small bubble, something like "I have no right to criticize Kayoko..." or "I acted just like Kayoko..." would be examples of fine TLs that carry the creative intent.

And this probably goes without saying, but you shouldn't be discouraged by the fact I pointed out a TL issue, after all, you're not deeply familiar with Japanese so it's natural there will be some oversights.
