The “bad guy” of this arc is actually pretty good, his reasons for what he became is very understandable, and his willingness to try to understand her is quite pleasant. I am strangely addicted to this manga and can’t wait to see what happens next

I'm a bit bummed that this was so one-sided with no fault/lackings on Aoi's side, because Foa's argument is how this thing would totally go outside of generic fantasy manga, at least to some degree.

There's no reason a reasonably advanced civilization like this wouldn't understand the basics of cloud formation, to the point where someone going "yeah steam/vapor rises and then it cools and makes clouds which come back down as rain" constitutes an actual lesson to the point that it lets students perform an original never-before-seen magic. That's the exact kinda thing where IRL a genius would go "it's just X and Y, it's that simple" and the students would go "...that doesn't really help me."

Like obviously it's manga and the author's not gonna write some high-end magical lecture here, but I just kind of eyeroll at the whole "isekai'd person blows fantasy world genius' minds with elementary school knowledge" trope whenever it shows up. It just tends to paint everyone else as morons to show how smart the MC is, without actually having to write them as that smart.

'oh no, a world that focus on magic doesn't have as much advancement in science as ours, unbelibable'

It's not like there's no real world examples of cultural difference, right? Totally every single human country develop in the exact same direction, the same way, regardless of their environment right?
There's no such thing as 3rd world country anymore, because we're totally technologically advanced as a civilization right?

Well, from the tone of your post I think it's pretty clear you're not actually looking for any kind of discussion here, lmao. But yeah, go ahead and misrepresent my post as "yes every society must be exactly the same" if you want, I guess. Acknowledging that scientific advancements tend to help knowledge in other fields, and that there should be some rudimentary knowledge of the natural world for a society that's shown to otherwise be technologically equivalent to medival europe, is not the same thing as saying "all societies are the same". I don't even know where the part of your post about third world countries came from, because the advancement rate of separate societies and the advancement of disciplines within a single society are entirely different things.

Heck, looking back at it, Foa even says "certainly, the magic she uses is like a miniature version of the actual phenomenon", meaning it isn't even something they don't know, because he's able to confirm that it matches the science. That's even worse than I thought initially, because it's not even that they don't know about the water cycle, but that they do, and nobody thought to ever try to emulate the water cycle with water magic until Aoi said "hey why don't you try to do it with magic" with no further explanation? Really? That just feels ridiculous.
