Pfft, it'd be funny if he just steamrolled him

 

[Wolvenworks]

Ah yes, bonk magick

 

[Jakeh24]

Surely it should be the captain that has to hit him 3 times or he fails, and mc only has to hit him once to pass. What a dumb way of doing it

It's a bit of a sophistry but it's not too far-fetched. MC of this comic aside, the first strike could be a stroke of luck which wouldn't really help you in emergencies; two hits means you have some skills and could probably seal the deal, but by then you might as well go all in and ask for third confirmation.

Yeah, but the behaviour of the captain also affects the difficulty of the test. If the captain is cautious and fighting defensively, being able to hit him is an achievement. Here, the captain is just rushing forward and just attacking him so hitting him may be very easy.

The rules aren't really properly set though. Is there a time limit or is it just until they're exhausted? What are the conditions for failure (is it just that hes knocked out)? Because the captain is very aggressive and I'm not sure what his goals are, aside from checking his ability to defend.

Also, damn, he's already being sent off to work in another team? The pace seems a bit rushed.

Either way, MC is very powerful. He's on guard seemingly all the time, has a vast variety of spells which he can cast quickly and without chanting. Maybe the captain here is acting aggressive but isn't actually going all out and can use more powerful spells. We'll see in the next chapter.

I know that the MC is a moron with a slave mentality and all but why would he agree to this? He's been in the country for maybe a month, made some friends, and now is suddenly taking a test to join the special forces. He's told to take an exam and instantly gets sneak attacked. MC has no goals or ambitions so why would he want to join this force with clearly dubious morals? Also honestly if you're recruiting Lutz into a high security government position at this point you're probably a moron. Guy is insanely powerful and from another country that may or may not be friendly who's to say he isn't meant to be a spy.

Yeah the country is a meritocracy or whatever. That doesn't really justify rapidly promoting random people of questionable loyalty to the top as fast as possible. It also does not mean that people are forcefully promoted just because they're competent. Some people aren't ambitious but are good at their jobs and don't want to be pushed into high ranking positions.

Well, of course. With some handwaving we can justify the three hits on the captain being aggressive and the examiner being aware that he would never play defensive, so a single hit would mean nothing in this specific situation.
And the rules are quite obviously not well defined because the examiner has all the power, it's not a committee and he can decide the life or death of the MC. He could've as well said "just fight him" without specifying if the MC had to hit him, survive, or something else, or even deem the "three hits" invalid if the MC behaved in a way he found inappropriate.
The whole exam was rigged from the start with not even a pretense of fairness.
Of course this is just a lightweight comic and the author most definitely didn't think it through this far, but the whole ordeal is not entirely far-fetched either.

What the hell is with the fast pacing of this title? I keep having to see if pages are missing.

 

[Choco2545]

Imagine if it wasn't him and he just crush a random guy to death.

 

[Miserys_End]

Ah yes, let's test the competency of the new guy with attempted murder. Bad enough the proctor seems to be an overly aggressive battle junky, but conducting the test without even determining if the chap wants to apply for the new position is just utterly asinine.

Yes, yes, you can take your manga logic excuses and feed it to the well meaning poisonous cook of your choice, but that doesn't change the fact that the tested individual even wants to join this club of battle maniacs. And that doesn't even touch on the fact that the person they are testing has unknown intentions, morality, and temperament. Sure being thrown into that last mission would give them some idea, but a month or three isn't enough time to get to know a guy, let alone determine if they are a fit for what is essentially the cleaners and troubleshooters of the government.

It's one of the reasons I hate that concepts like manga logic exists. It prejudices the audience into ignoring inconsistencies, horrible logic, and all-round stupid thought patterns. It has also functionally poisoned the thinking of a generation or three of their readers.

Oh, so if I passed his test, he'd become my superior? Terrific. I'd prefer to put my dick into a blender. He seems unhinged, unstable, and frankly fucking stupid.
