It is a serious question if this is an insane asylum or a school considering the death rate, the amount of shenanigans, and mad men inside. I would now be interested in how the outside world perceives the school and those who use magic considering the amount of crazy shit that goes on apparently with barely any security personnel in sight in this type of school?
I gotta say, this series is fairly generic fantasy self-insert trash, but I do love how entertainingly insane all the wizards are. Like yeah, if I got the power to do literally anything if I put my mind to it, I wouldn't stick to summoning fireballs and shit. This is much more like it.
@yardmonkey@Lecarm@Soseki I like a lot the use of "mr.," miss," "professor" and stuff, but it just feels weird when you use "Nee-san." You should localise it to sister or cousin.
Yeah, much more accurately to have authorities who maintain order as much as they could, and people who discovered how to light fire from absolute nothing. I don't believe anyone with knowledge of powerful magic will just sit there and wait to graduate.
Given that it's situated atop a labyrinth and known for being a hostile environment, I do think that honor, power, knowledge, prestige and valor from being able to surpass that place was what drives the most of the amount of the people that admit to that institution due to it's fame of having extremely powerful mages... given that it's in a sort of medieval era, noble families and commoners alike aim greatly for those reasons... it's not like it's the modern era where workplace ethics even existed, just a few thousand years ago we had teenagers fight for the pope.
While I do agree that this is convenient for plot, I believe you must have misread the panels.. unlike Katie, they were not warned by the troll of the imminent danger nor the threat they'll be facing, rather they were told "hurry and save her," to which after finding the captor's lair do they discuss about bringing someone with higher power to aide in their rescue... however, the captor dragged them into the lair by force and was unable to escape.
So I came back to read the manga after finishing the first light novel and man, am I disappointed. So much stuff got shortened or left out entirely. Ah well, I do hope that they don't ruin my favorite fight in the volume which is the one that will begin next chapter. Oliver/Nanao v. Miligan.
I swear to God, the visual for Nanao creating and awakening the seventh spellblade better be epic as hell.
Really? I thought it was a pretty decent adaptation for once
Normally the Manga adaptations if LNs are awful but this was pretty darn good. Of course they left out a good chunk of things but tbf they can't exactly just make a 1:1 copy of the LN
