Majutsu Gakuin wo Shuseki de Sotsugyoushita Ore ga Boukensha wo Hajimeru no wa sonna ni okashii darouka - Vol. 2 Ch. 11

[ciera]

@mahtan nah, the backstory was just hamfisted attempt at making a "deep" character and turning her into a tragic villain (it failed at that). she's simply a murderous bitch. overall this is a failure of the mage institute to properly enforce restrictions on taboo, and on the kingdom in screening and monitoring their public servants (the royal mage who showed interest in taboo and the count of questionable intelligence).

 

[KaelRhain]

she could have researched all she wanted with corpses but she had to go out of her way to kill people, from that point all her reasons are void

 

[Terrate]

This bitch should stay dead, no need for redemption.

 

[Kefrayba]

You just can't pleased everybody eh? People complain when the villain get backstory. People also complain when the villain had no backstory. Personally, I am fine with how the author write her backstory. It was logical, understandable and, perhaps, a bit cliche. It was written clearly how her problems developed and escalated.

I also liked how nuance Satsuki was in this chapter.

 

[kilisloe]

remember humans, just because they give people a backstory doesn't mean they are getting redemption. It just tells how their mindset or actions became a certain way.

 

[Saike]

(sigh) It's not really about sympathizing, but about empathizing. Now, if only everybody has a little bit of that, then so much shit can be avoided, in general. Lots of people are shallow as hell, why am I no longer surprised...

 

[StLL]

RIP skelly doggo

 

[nightwatch25]

A tragic figure, but not a sympathetic one. In a sick twisted way her intentions may have been good, but what she did was evil, plain and simple. Killing her was the right thing to do.

 

[Myllari123]

A bad guy with a sad story.
These bad guys forget one thing. Killing innocents will only tarnish and corrupt your good cause.

 

[MCX01]

A tradegy turned into obsession and led to a serial killer being unleashed and with no help from desperate parents who wanted to keep things quiet.

Just dumb.

 

[Cellulanus]

Obsessed with a dead pet to the point of it driving her entire life up to and including mass murder. That "sad" backstory just makes her look even worse.

 

[nobaka]

@Cellulanus
this may shock you, but some people consider pets to be family. you don't try and buy a new brother if yours gets hit by a bus or dies from leukemia, do you?

loss is powerful, full stop. she was clearly incredibly attached to this dog(?), and having people act as though it was just a broken toy to be replaced is pretty horrible. add in a world where magic can do pretty much anything, and it's not that surprising. Progress does requires sacrifice, she just lost herself in the pursuit.

a sad or tragic backstory doesn't absolve, it explains.

 

[w33btr4sh]

"oh they explained the villain's backstory that means we're supposed to think they're a good guy now, what a hack of an author this is so cliche"

absolute retards

 

[Goretantath]

@Cellulanus A person lives their life usualy growing up with a sibling. "Only child"ren have a pet as a stand in for a sibling. If your sibling died, would you go out and find a replacement for them, discarding them like they were an object?

 

[Elementony33]

She was hot tho

 

[TanithG]

Finally, an author that uses backstory as an explanation rather than as an absolution.

I would be mad if Alice didn't die.

 

[genericlinic]

surprisingly many of y'all have such shitty reading comprehension. she obviously identified with the dog. she even says the line "just like me". clearly she was traumatised by the idea that she too would be replaced like trash if she died :/

 

[N2O]

I think they should have replaced the dog with like her mother dying or a close servant or whatever. But I guess this is a very light reading type of comedy fantasy, so maybe it'd be out of place

 

[BabyPyroshark]

What she did was basicly she studied pharmacy but she decided to become a drug dealer right?

I know her reasoning was to get her dog back, i think, but thats the same as the drug dealer dealing drugs so that he can gain the love of someone yeah?

Anyway i think the morality of necromancy depends heavily on how it works,
do the undead work like golems and have no soul,
is the soul of the dead people used,
do they feel pain,
do the corpses need to be fresh,
is there a god that dictates whether graves and the dead are sacred or not,
did the people consent before death,
is it a war,
how many undead are you raising,
for what purpose,
is necromancy more like the study of souls,
can necromancy be used to fully resurrect someone,
do the undead need to be human,
do you need corpses or souls of the dead to make an undead or is it like summoning,
do undead affect the world/air/enviroment/populace in a negative way,
what is the situation you are using it in,
do souls fade after death,
do people used for undead understand their situation,
do undead die from the sun or from touching some kind of holy object/liquid,
what classifies as undead? zombie, skeleton, ghoul, vampire, slimes, golems, gargoyle, demon, chimera?

I think there are alot of factors that decide whether necromancy is morally ok in my eyes but i will trust that the manga knows that necromancy is kind of morally ambiguous

Though i agree that she was a bad person doing bad necromancy

God damnit i went on a rant again

 

[LikeASkurn]

Yeah she was traumatized but I don’t give a fuck just die 😂
