Kouchuugun Shikan Boukensha ni Naru - Ch. 49.2

[BladeGrip]

I guess it's nice to see him facing difficulties and actual challenges for once.

 

[AlmondMagnum]

uh... how did he lose? Was he not supposed to be some kind of fencing genius who had won the intergalactic fencing championships in vr? And then gotten the captain-infodumps ontop of that, including martial arts? Or am I misremembering things from this wn/manga being way too slow and old?

I think he was just a hobbyist. I don't remember anything about him being a genius. If he won a tournament, it was against other hobbyists. She's hinting she's an actual frontline soldier. I guess it'd be like a desk worker going to a boxing gym three times a week suddenly fighting a special forces soldier.

And whatever downloads he got probably weren't about close combat. Leadership, administration, strategy... those are skills a captain in his position would need.

 

[CountryMage]

Which is kinda retarded, since downloaded skills are STILL real skills. If anything, it's his lack of real combat experience. He has the technique, but not the expertise. Which I believe is what the author is actually going for here.

Like, he has the knowledge, but not the wisdom to wield said knowledge. Something like that.

No, more like how in a videogame the npc always has the same wind-up and attack patterns, so if you know them you can counter all their attacks, even with less power.

Edit: since some people still can't understand, imagine you enter a Fighting Game tournament, while using mods that auto-combo for you, and you run into an actual competitive player, who recognizes that attack pattern your combo moves were based on. He may be able to pull of a beautiful combo, with his macro running skills, that can take down any button mashing noob, but his skills are nonexistent compared to an actual professional.

 

[raddcuban]

Is this for better or for worse?

Definitely for worse. Not because Alan lost, since it's high time he lost to anyone really, but since all this feels sudden and rushed. Also not rerlly liking the seeming tone and thematic shift.

 

[Zet1502]

Is she a survivor of the shipwreck?

 

[MisterMango]

Definitely for worse. Not because Alan lost, since it's high time he lost to anyone really, but since all this feels sudden and rushed. Also not rerlly liking the seeming tone and thematic shift.

I don't think there would be many complaints about the seeming shift if people didn't know that it was past the WN. Would be nice to get the situation clarified.

The weird part for me in the past 2 chapters was that someone from the planet was able to sneak through his city's defenses, which is resolved with this revelation.

 

[YuriM]

Looks like the author of LN stopped to publish anything, and this is continuation made by mangaka. 99% it will be trainwreck

 

[Doomer]

ok so she's clearly another member of the empire, question is when did she arrive, why is she serving some random noble in a backwater planet.

god i wish that were me

 

[74HC595]

Aaand now her head gets Obama’d by one of the escorting drones?

 

[Dzrt]

Huh so she do know who he really is?

I'm guessing she from the previous futuristic empire who ruled that planet. Since mc was having hallucinations earlier in the story.

For all readers who thought Allan is a real swordsman... No, he's not a champion of a serious swordfight or anything, he's just a champion of a VR game he played in high school. He created his own swordfighting style called "Corinth-style secret sword skill Meteor Stream" (lol). So, he's just an otaku, not a real swordsman/martial artist, haha... He looks great because he's backed up by nanom.

And in the military, Allan was just an engineering crew, not a combat unit. Yes, he was taught how to fight, but only the basics self-defence. The twins were more skilled in combat than Allan.

they just conveniently forgot that when it was brought up in the early chaps that his entire background is VR

Thanks. I was for some reason sure he said that it was the leading hyperrealistic fantasy vrmmorpg game (that only differed from reality in that it had magic, except it was emulating the magic found on that first magical planet so it matches his current reality perfectly) in the intergalactic empire, and that they had held an intergalactic tournament which mc won. Not just that he had managed to beat some random vr game.

 

[Jakeh24]

That's a peculiar situation, how does that end up happening?, its almost always the other way around.

Author of the wn/ln has taken a step back from writing them, but is still involved in pushing the manga forward.

 

[Jakeh24]

and it's already been established that the cloned twins are better than him in close combat, so he already wasn't the best on the planet even

Bro was legit jus a random soldier

Cause he is only tech support and she is clearly a battle hardened trained soldier. her battle experience likely dwarfs his. Plus she is clearly knowledgeable about his origins and likely comes from those origins in some way.

 

[CucarachaEnojada]

He is fine.She is too hot to be an enemy.

 

[Madologist]

And this is why you pack heat always if possible.

 

[terranmcv]

"when" and "how". Are there any other ships stranded on this planet?

She joins Assassin Guild aka mercenary. They are not loyal to any country. They are paid to do things. The question is whether she will sell out her fellow Galactic Empire.
