Koujo Tensei: Densetsu no Dai Madoushi (♂), Hime Kishi to Narite Densetsu no Reijou Kishidan o Tsukuri Musou Suru - Ch. 19 - A serious problem, indeed

So the "everyone is equal in the academy" thing only applies when random shitters want to bully MC?

I'm going to make the leap in logic here that the reason they emphasize magic over physical strength is because up til now their notion of physical strength is that of the king's knights which would not challenge magic at all.

So once we're dealing with firearms then being good at bow and arrow as we've known are no longer emphasized.

But how can you still think that when she demonstrated in the tests so far that her physical strength is stronger than anything you've seen, what makes you think you can survive a punch from her or can land a hit of your magic?

It's like not respecting 3 pointers because it was too unreliable for the longest time against a reliable jumper or dunk. Even after a guy shows up and is hitting 100% of his 3s and you still don't understand and don't adapt and wonder why you're losing.

they don't know that though... only the king, knights, and the people that attended the party knows about her exploits. the principal got an overview but not all of it

Nobody knows about the pillar swing true.

Only the Principal saw her physical strength that destroyed the target and the terrain.

All the students who checked their exam score (I suppose only the top class examinees) saw her test score at the top.

Then the principal walked in to testify regarding her physical strength, but you can say that's like people hearing about Jesus from someone else but still won't believe it, mainly because they never saw it with their own eyes.

Then Scarlet challenge MC because she is such a person.

Then in front of everyone MC dodged and swiped away the magic (that impressed the principal) fired at her and nothing Scarlet can do as MC walks her down.


So now we're left with two interpretations, either:
1. Girls don't spread rumors in this school, so nobody besides the examinee who witnessed the fight knows what happened.
or
2. Girls do spread rumors in this school but nobody believes them.

Both of which are nonsensical without author forcing it to be so.

This entire academy arc has been a slog; same events rinsed and repeated. Which is genuinely sad because the first few chapters were actually interesting.

Remember that the main reason the Protagonist has all the Exercise knowledge she allegedly does is because in her previous she had body/strength envy over the Hero who is the Ancestor of the Royal Family but just never used it in her last life because she wasn't "Blessed" with strength like him. So, idiots in this country might just high key see high Physical Strength as a Royal Family thing and just don't bother training in it ever so they don't realize its as much of an effort as magic.

That's incorrect, or at least not what the author is saying explicitly enough.

MC in his past life, as a guy, a commoner, knows (possibly along with eveybody else because it's common knowledge) that physical strength has a cap for non-nobles whereas magic don't have such a cap. So he could only ever max out on magic whereas he envies the hero who can max out both.

So when he reincarnated as a noble with maxed magic carried over, obviously he's going to max his strength now he's given his wish.

But because he's reborn as a girl and understandably noble ladies shouldn't be training muscles because close quarter combat is for men, which is why her brother is still training it as part of his education. So if he was reborn as a guy it would be no problem for him to muscle train all day and be strongest ever and the next hero.

So it's quite literally patriarchy's fault and that is an acceptable setting for a story.
But this whole premise falls apart, and is my original complaint...Is that okay we accept it's unladylike to be a musclebrain, leave the close quarter combat to the boys. But when she already demonstrated she's undeniably strong as fuck, you don't go antagonise her as if if you simply needed to pretend she is not strong then suddenly she won't be able to snap you in half.

Example:
When she's still weak and she is swinging a sword. You can go bully her, call her armored princess as a mockery because she's unladylike and is uncouth and uncultured like other nobleladie, what are you doing with a sword? Go learn magic like everyone else you weirdo.


When she waves her hand and slaps away high level magic aimed at her and she can walk towards you and there's nothing you can do to prevent her from reaching you and kills you with a swing. You don't bully her.

One of these days the both the student council president and vice president are gonna get suplexed by our dear princess...

And I so look forward to that day because they both deserve it

 

[legendaryswordsman]

Why is everyone in this school comically evil or retarded or both?

Will the commoners aren't too bad it's just a nobles that are full of themselves but you get that in of the academy's series especially where they say that status isn't a thing but then it is. Or a certain higher up nobles receive preferential treatment

Certainly need to be taught disciplinary measures I say plenty of laps around the academy and weightlifting, our MC approves
