just remember kids, this woman, his teacher, the one saying soma doesn't have any skills at all, is the one who did the skill appraisal and wrote down on the paper soma's mother had read in ch1 that he has the calibre of godly level. And IIRC that's originally an error by the novel author.
And tbf, soma's mother is pitiful. Pathetic for being so weak, but in the end very pitiful.
Well, this is about the place I had stopped reading the novel because it was such a drag. It went on an on, never getting anywhere, just so sloooooooow. The manga at least fixes that part.
