I don't know how the advisor got a reputation for being good at his job.

Also, it may have been a mistake to threaten them with execution only to not deliver. If she was going to whip them, she should have just said she was going to whip them.

@AlmondMagnum I generally agree that it's a mistake to not deliver a punishment you promised.
But in this case it serves a purpose.
Had she promised a whipping, they'd be afraid of another wipping.
But now they'll be afraid of something even worse, an execution.
And she doesn't even need to threaten them anymore because their aching backs remind them every minute for the next few days.

She broke their resistance. And because she even reduced the punishment they can't even really hate her.
Add in a first successful battle and they'll be loyal til death. Had she executed some, the rest would treat her with respect and fear instead of true loyalty.

@DrNagnorjum good summary...
they now know, hat she will get them punished, this time "only" a whipping, next time thy might get killed

even the point in letting them whipping each other makes them feel guilty of themself. they can't blame a person for whipping them.

I don't understand.. I thought by this point everyone already heard about her and bravery action on academy. I mean it's past 2 months if I'm not mistaken but even the advisor still not heard of her?

 

[Chacha11]

Thank youuu

 

[reika]

She's so cool. 👽

@Kagamimocchi Even if they heard about it, wouldn't they figure it was exaggerated at the least? That was at an academy, while these guys are on the actual front lines (or at least front line adjacent) fighting the threats to humanity.

But my money is on them not hearing about it in any sort of detail at all for whatever reason (perhaps anything less important than their own orders and news of the city actually falling or something is slow to get around) even though it might seem like word should have spread already. Treat it like a video game, sure you maxed your reputation in the previous area but now you're here and nobody knows who the hell you are or why they should even care.
