"You would go this far without me teaching you at all?"

Given you guys are mostly a hindrance rather than a benefit. What else was he supposed to do?

 

[lengend]

So once Lyle has learnt their skill they will just be asborbed ? (I don't remember if they explained it earlier 😅)

Thanks for the chapter !

 

[Mikael.L]

Sudden development, he's so cool.

 

[Crisisninjax]

Wow, the author really tried to act like the first wasn't a pain in the ass.

 

[NeloDante]

He screams while we have to wait for the next chapter.

Old man before you disappear you have to redeem yourself! Apologize for being the second biggest bully in his life behind little sis! You are the only ancestor that actually hated and meant malice toward him. Take back your words about him being a stain on your blood you barbarian!!

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Meridis]

oh neat, his mana won't be drained as much anymore. It's like breaking a limiter.

No? They're gonna keep yapping the same amount, it's constant training for him.

Don't judge a story when it's barely started?

We're not 1/7 of the way done, this is about 1/10th of the way.

Nope, we still aren't done with volume 2. There are 20 in total. (20 is technically a bunch of post-ending stories but the series is incomplete without them)

He never hated Lyle and there was no malice. From the start, he genuinely only wanted to push him to man up, get motivated, take the initative of his own life and stop moping around. It's loud, abrasive and hard-edged talk that would have worked to fire himself up if it was said to him at his lowest.
He just has trouble grasping that Lyle was a more senitive kid, shaped by a different era, family dynamic and trauma. In the First's mind there is nothing to apologize about because from his perspective everything he said was kind and encouraging, and he was struggling to understand why it wasn't having the effect he thought it would.

After Lyle went to save Aria, he completely stopped bashing him from a personal place and shifted to ribbing and bantering instead letting them start to connect a little better.
(It wasn't clearly said in the manga, but in the novels he explicitly says he enjoys bantering with Lyle the same way he does with the second because that's the way they talk in his family, and that he’s happy whenever Lyle stands up for himself and argues back).


I’m not claiming he isn’t annoying or overly antagonistic though.

Looking back, I probably could have done a better job highlighting that side of his character in the translation.

Sorry, but disagreed. He has done nothing but bash someone who was already down. He has contributed nothing, helped in no way, and was himself an even bigger failure than Lyle but in other ways. Yet he's arrogant, obnoxious, and entitled. Making constant demands.

 

[Rinnemi]

Ah yes, you ancestors obviously had so much faith in him from the start

 

[MesaOracle]

Scream that name like you're in a giant robot and about to penetrate that bad guy like a cheap hooker.

Thanks for the chapter !

Spoiler

They'll disappear in the meeting room for real. Well, it's more like their regrets than skill. Or both...

Modern people call it harsh/bad parenting, old people call it tough love.
Simple as that.
