If most other isekai or strong protag manga would deal with fights like this I wouldnt have to suffer through 5-10 chapter of the same fight with nothing happening
@aberdeus and hardness is just resistance to being scratched or abraded. It's not a measure of toughness or density or how easily you can cut something with a sword. He just said "I don't know what stone this is and there are properties that make some stone harder than others" ... okay? It would make more sense, and flow better if he said something to the effect of "I noticed when blocking it's attack earlier that this sword can cut the stone it's made of."
This big-tiddy warrior is making short work of the fight through the dungeon of my heart.
@Kanol Ok nerd. Not everyone is gonna remember the terminology from eighth grade Earth Science. If you asked a random stranger about the hardness of steel, nine times out of ten, they'd conflate hardness with brittleness.
@MrMcNasty That's probably true. Still, the incorrect use of terminology isn't what matters here so much as the disjointed way it's used. There's better ways to communicate "I can cut it even with this junk metal sword." and how he reached that conclusion.
It seems like they're doing a whole "see you can use pot-metal swords to fight the blacksmith did nothing wrong" deal, but just because MC can fight adequately with junk metal swords doesn't mean that blacksmith wasn't guilty of setting up some less skilled adventurers to get stomped into meat paste.
Imagine if the MC is challenged into a rock-paper-scissor. Whatever he put will win because he is. He can say without thinking: scissor can actually cut rock, or rock can actually rip paper.
it's like the mordhau equivalent of seeing someone bring a maul to a 3-armor fight vs a ranked player owning your 3-armor ass so hard with just a bastard sword lol
