Kunon the Sorcerer Can See - Vol. 3 Ch. 19 - THE SAINT'S FINANCIAL PREDICAMENT

[Hazeo]

How dare you underestimate my lovely kunon! Even though he is flippant…(no god please no he is not)

 

[popinloopy]

Thank you for the chapter!

look at the saint, she changing her tune.

agree. i think they left the boy with the servant/maid far too long. there should have been a few people to properly look after and teach kunon instead of just a single maid. i mean, they have no monetary issues since kunon is engaged to a princess (the kingdom would have check and confirm if said household are of proper status and able to support a royal person) so it is out of question that kunon only has one person serving and educating him.

unfortunately all the things she did makes kunon acting ungentlemanly.

well,noble usually don't raise their child, they let maid and butler handle their education. remember, in aristocratic and feudalism, noble marriage is about connection. the head of house and the lady have duty to socialize and connect them with other noble, finding fund and money and managing the territory.

there are a reason why brit favour princess Diana, because she did nurse and raise Henry and William by herself instead leaving it to the maid. that was 21th century and royal still let others taking care of their children. Marie Antoinette also raise her children but she got scrutinized by other Royal family of France and nobles. they left the education to the expert.

in kunon cases, its the parent fault for hiring Iko raising kunon. well iko did great by raising his spirit despite being blind but the rest were terrible.

Marie Antoinette also raise her children but she got scrutinized by other Royal family of France and nobles.

Marie Antoinette was an Austrian princess in France, and Austria had only recently switched from enemies to allies; the nobility that weren't terribly happy with the recent change of alliances scrutinized her just for existing. She could have been a saint and she still would have been slandered by the rest of the court.

Ngl, Iko did great raising Kunon. Although he's a bit quirky -at night- he's pretty much a gentlemen... Sorta

now that i think about it, it's kinda funny that it started off hairless since
(idk if the author intended this)
hairless cats tend to be very clingy bc they dont have the fur to keep themselves warm
and the rat here is being treated like a hug pillow

It's his water ball animal thing, just like his water bed.
So it's very much a very realistic (and addicting) hugging pillow.

Somethings Kunon kept quiet that'll be revealed later

Spoiler

Those 5 seeds he got for the project? That's worth 1mil nekka.

He basically became guarantor for the project.
If they succeed in raising the flower + he give the provider his records, then no need to pay.
But if it fail that'll be 1mil he has to pay (and due to the special class rule, that'll be out of his pocket)

I feel like someone should've asked how he can navigate around so easily by now.

I'm so damn glad this survived the Great Purge

Not sure what to make of current Kunon tbh, his flirting lately feels off compared to early chapters.

I think Iko did fine raising him (esp since we see her being a generally sensible person herself), and the issue is the writer that hammed up Kunon in newer chapters to the point of jumping a shark (a note from editor-san to add more jokes, etc)

I feel like this chapter was meant to highlight the advantage of the special class, but actually proves that it's worthless and a waste of time for the saintess. The solution to her problem was a gamble that she would just be able easily and immediately succeed at a highly difficult research task and assume there's a market for it based on Kunon's false reality. No actual class has been shown so it seems like learning is all self directed. Being forced to generate your own revenue pushes the students to engage only in profitable research, which at best is a gross misunderstanding of research results since most will just be incremental and not individually valuable. This class would be better suited as a reform class for troublemakers as a way to better integrate with society after graduation.

Hopefully Kunon's manner of speaking gets toned done at some point because he's increasingly heading towards the playboy trope which is what you usually give to a character with problematic view towards women.

special class is called special class because it's not for everyone..
it promotes growth in research and inventions for special kind of individuals, those who don't fit in can just go to another class

 

[hierof]

well why change something that work ? Not to mention he's super depressed and want to off himself before knowing about magic too let not gamble. And we do have some tutor to teach him until they have nothing to teach anyway

at the very least, multiple instructors/caretakers would help develop kunon better as they would try to keep the others from heavily influence kunon with biases and broaden kunon perspective but instead here iko one-sided moulding him into a 'lecherous old man' that she hands him off to her younger sister to try undo it. and kunon is quite lucky that most people he encountered are quite tolerant and just pass it off as a 'quirk'

i think it was the first magic instructor Jenny/Ginny that give kunon reason to live. Iko despite her fault, was chosen for her cheery personality to lift the sullen kunon but unfortunately she was too young to properly care/educate kunon.

ultimately it is indeed the parents fault as they should have hired more staffs to assist and care kunon.

Funding from "Family, Relatives, or Friends" is prohibited. That sounds like immediate family, extended family, or friends, but does not preclude a corporate sponsorship in which earning one's daily bread is not needed, with an obligation to fulfill some services after graduation. Even the government might be enlisted for a stipend, with a later requirement to be in service for a certain number of years, like military programs that pay for medical school in which the student must serve as a doctor attached to a branch of the armed forces for a certain period.

Students in the special program have proven themselves to be proficient and independent upon acceptance. A large company or government, or perhaps even a noble family with a specific ongoing need for magical services, could be expected to scout such students and recruit them with an offered contract. Such headhunters should be loitering about town with the profiles of special program students memorized, ready to make their offers.
