I agreeHonestly I like this story because we have an MC that learns from his battles & trains to get stronger even if the risk of him dying is low due to his masters. Glad it was an act because Solty would be murdered immediately once they notice her killing Cross plus I'm sure they could revive him. Thanks for the translations.
GroomedLook at what they're doing to my boy
I’ll give it a pass since it was resolved in this chapter. If it had been a cliffhanger for next chapter, that would’ve been an issue for me.As soon as she attacked him, I knew what trope it was. At least this is in a series where he's already got a lot of trauma, so a little more isn't gonna do much, and it was over with quickly. Still, always that slight disappointment any time any series relies on the "It's just a test/prank" trope.
