Man, I just see people hating on the mc I'll just have to chip in.

+MC is orphan, everyone calls him useless (important)
+Hot elf takes him in, becomes strong
+Wants to become even stronger, makes pact with devil (hollow)
+Devil said the more you pay, the better the pact
+Got a mysterious devil that demands his remaining potential (just a level below than taking his soul)
+This gotta be good shit
+Comes this little guy, baphomet guy said he's useless
+Flashback everyone said he's useless before, gotta back this little guy, takes the pact anyway
+Adventurers said his skill is useless because not enough boom boom, but not realise it's wayyy useful outside battle. Imagine using Holy Bottle but it lasts the whole game. Like casting Estoma and it never wears off, you can fucking sleep in dungeons.
People literally wants to sell pocket aircond with his power.

I'd say his mistake is trying to be an adventurer. If he becomes a merchant and sells eternal lamps, heating and fridge he's already bathing money.

Y'all calling him idiot has the same level of IQ of the in-universe idiots. Everyone wants big dakka but nobody realises how useful electric-free all year around, almost no maintenance electric fence, covering the whole county to boot. Also there's this whole manga genre of "useless guy but OP when he changes field", haven't you guys learned by now?

There's also the fact he's a KID. Part of youth is we do a LOT of stupid things because we think we know better when we don't. Sometimes those stupid moments wind up having lasting repercussions we have to live with for the rest of our lives. It's easy to say in hindsight "Oh well he was dumb for doing this/deserved everything at the start" but given how much emotional baggage he has going for him as well as the fact he hasn't fully matured and just wants to be acknowledged? Yeah no. I may think it was far from the best decision he could've made and he's very lucky that it worked out in the end, but I can understand why he did it, and he most certainly didn't deserve the shitty treatment at the start.

 

[stavekoff]

you go back and reconcile with your hot master right now!!!!!!!

 

[Kefrayba]

The MC's past explained his action with the hollow. He empathized with the little one. He obviously let his emotion made the decision. And he was still in his teen. Not to mention, probably not processing his childhood trauma. Of course he wasn't going to make the most optimal decision.

Yeah, but before he could fly man. I think people are mad because he kinda just spat in the face of his master by doing that. And then he just ran away without a word after all the kindness he had been shown. The other thing to keep in mind is this kid is kinda dumb. I haven’t seen him really leverage his power past basic inventions so it doesn’t seem like it was the best move for him in particular.

 

[pikonyanko]

Well at least the high elf in the WN...

Spoiler

is trying to meet him after he left, because she miss him

 

[kyliee090]

You're skipping the step where the hot elf repeatedly told him he had talent and not to do this to satisfy your narrative but I'll gladly keep circling back to stupid.

I just consider that as either he is being hasty as a youth or just the mangaka skipping the details just like many LN adaptation, for better or worse they always skip main characters long reasoning/monologue (excuse?) to readers.

One good example is Fake Saint. The manga is simple enough but the novel has the mc keep saying "I'm faaakeee, I'm baaad, bad dudeee"

 

[rexmundi]

Thanks for chapter

 

[Pokeroots]

"If it is stupid but it works, it isn't stupid"
Also it's a pact with devils, it's hella stupid, in this case it's better to pay well in the first place than cheap out and get stupid deal. You're thinking too deep you circle back to stupid.

It is stupid. This kind of mentality has gotten people killed in the military (think of adventuring as being part of a military unit) it works until it blows up in your face. Also the hollow are absolutely fae and not necessarily devils. The price he paid was so big that the guy who sold it off thought that the literal king was going to show up. He bought a 1000 bucks of lottery tickets and got back 100 bucks

 

[Kaiser92]

Wack ass tree houses

 

[24HourCinderella]

Ah yes, the mindset of the people who looked down on him.

Might I remind you extending duration of even basic spell by such absurd length is absolutely impossible for other mages (maybe even for himself before the pact) and all the things that fell apart by the absence of his 'basic spells'?

Or that he could do this:
https://mangadex.org/chapter/9d54d81a-4d2f-4a37-a25b-75843f0944bd/5

isn’t it ironic?

I would bet you money his Master would be completely enamoured with the duration of his magic and how useful that actually is.

or the fact that it held an entire guild together and collapsed when he left.

 

[Phaaze]

I see everyone's torn over this one. I haven't even picked a side - I'm stuck back here wondering what Aix's 'great magic potential' was supposed to be, assuming the author had planned it in at all.
It's greater than his high elf master's. How big/much we talking? Any traits or bloodline abilities?

Well at least the high elf in the WN...

Spoiler

Leaving without a word was probably the worst thing Aix did out of all of this. It's not implied he left a letter or anything, like he did with his uncle.
At least the contract brought ups alongside the downs...

Damn, these mfs hating hating.

Also tell me if I should wait for chapter 20 or release parts 1 and 2 already, you sillies. 😠

Release the krakens!

The devil mentioned he was expecting a king to show up for the payment. If you ignore the fuck up of the weakass hollow, it means no matter how the demon could undercut his part of the deal, the minimum was a king-class existance. And the master warns against hollow, so one can assume they are underhanded. But only up to a certain point.

Thus, his potential is big. So big, that even if the devil got crafty, he still gotta summon a king. Probably higher than king if he fulfilled the bargain fairly.

Anyways, I am prone to joining the camp " he deserves it ".

He has lived with elf atleast a year or two, or if he was pure genius, several months. (This assumption is based in taking time to read books and attend lessons on magic like a real human to school, also the silheutte of the body is different from initial meeting of elf, and when he contracts hollow.) The elf clearly is a teacher/parent model for him, he doesn't listen to advice/teachings.

Your mom told you not to touch boiling kettle. You touch it. Simple. Regardless whether deus ex machina occured and he got gold out of the experience.

Dont get started on the orphanage. The elf was a proper adoptive parent. His previous orphanage matter, but he just won't listen.

Basically he blindly follows his heart than logic/experience. Emphasis on blindly.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

 

[rozert]

He better go and apologize to master. She's basically his mother now. Hope she'll forgive him for being stupid and they'll become happy family again...also hope he merry his puppet loli instead of mother please

 

[Kshatria]

so, mc is an idiot
no wonder he wants to make pact with hollow because his BRAIN is HOLLOW

 

[Hiibiki]

He didn't even think for a second that he "WANT TO SURPASS HIS MASTER" is the reason he want to make a contract with hollow.
Yeah, it's not impressive it's right out idiotic.
Yes his extension is useful and very powerful in its own right.
But, he could at least try to haggle down the requirements a bit...
Does all that study with his master not making him a little bit smarter...

 

[Freezee]

A good portion of fault and Aix's current issues is definitely from Aix himself.

It's pretty clear that beyond being taught magic, he never really had proper social interaction. Nor did he learn, and more importantly, still doesn't care to learn. Though there's at least two or three people now he could consider a friend, so he might get somewhere eventually.

The price for Aix's magic aptitude is overall rational thought I suppose. And with his hollow, he now has a unique ability that his magic capabilities are making the most of.

Ultimately, Aix is stupid. But he's getting by and relatively succeeding anyway, carried by magic capability. It is stupid and it works, but it's definitely stupid that it's still working. Aix quite literally doesn't realize how well he is utilizing his magic with his unique ability.

I'm putting this more down to lazy writing though. Or perhaps writing shortcuts to get to the part that sells faster, then filling in the rest of the world as the story progresses.

I mean, in the grand scheme of things, what makes people special is having something nobody else has. And by all means, he has something that can't be obtained, even in theory, no matter what anyone else does. Even doing badly is a step up from not being able to do it at all.

 

[Dwarfy2k]

Sure, his duration extension is amazing, but that doesn't balance the fact the he was dumber than a rock and made a choice to ignore his master's words.
Can't wait for how the author will bend the story to make this a good thing.

Also his wish was to get more powerful and he gave up progression the literal opposite of why he was attempting the pact.
