And finally, the author had to give our favorite manly MC a typical shounen character trait, letting the defeated go. WTF would a former soldier let these guys go? And don't tell me it's because they're not a threat to him, they could still kill Aruna or one of his other subjects. Sorry, people, but there's absolutely no reason to let these bandits, assassins, whatever go. They could always try again or be part of the next group of assholes that come for him. I am disappointed and would like to see one story, just one, have the balls to demonstrate the consequences of giving mercy to unrepentant assholes.
Rant over.
