Toxic old workplace still harassing the personel they fired

Who tf was that random bandit leader

 

[Varpie]

This series is so stupid, I don't know why I bothered reading all those chapters.
The bandit chief with the glasses is surprised that they can see them because of the clearing barrier... But like what would you do if you were just invisible? The carriage would just go by, or the horses would walk over your weaklings
"The town guards will probably catch him" but how would they know he's a criminal, since he likely comes and goes out of town usually, and you aren't going after them or saying anything about it?
"Just what the hell were they doing in a place like this?" Well, they were blocking the road... Like, if they were trying to be sneaky, they would likely let the carriage pass by, they were specifically blocking the road... Do you know who blocks roads in the middle of the night? Yeah, that's right, bandits.
And that couple of definitely not suspicious people with skulls on their clothes were just able to cross the border, and they just had a friendly chat with the butler, letting MC know that they're after him? Yeah, super realistic...

Yeah, it is realistic.

For a world where meritocracy means "dogshit knights that get beat by typical bandits, serving a princess and royalty that's passed down by bloodline", that kind of logic is pretty realistic I mean. 🤪

Wow such manga I shall go and press drop after I get my fill of this trash

That's because he is not a bandit chief. People-clearing barriers are too fancy for bandits. And no bandits operate in a "we'll have to kill you now that you've seen our faces" environment.
How would guards know he's a criminal? Well, MC will tell on him, of course.
Why does he asks what the bandits were doing? Because bandits can't catch anybody when a people-clearing barrier pushes the victims away and only lets dangerous people pass. So clearly, it wasn't about blocking the road.

I do like the last couple's fashion sense, though. Probably makes any witnesses fail to notice any other details of their appearance. Or maybe they're perfectly legitimate cultists who want to talk about their lord and savior, Lord Vandalieu.

You're making assumptions about how the "people-clearing" barriers work that aren't described here.
Here are the facts:

• The carriage stopped because the road is blocked.
• The glassed dude is surprised that they could be seen
• The clearing barrier (not necessarily people-clearing btw, they only call it clearing) is a mental magic
• The glassed dude says they're going to be killed for seeing them.

Based on those facts, it is most likely that the clearing barrier is only a mental magic to hide them while they are blocking the road, but doesn't have a physical effect, thus allowing them to do a surprise attack, as the bandits they are.
Which is stupid because they would get run over, especially since they're weak.

It's not the first time that this manga makes no sense whatsoever, but hey if you want to happily distort your mental well being to try to find some sense into it, feel free to do so. It's just a trash manga, though.

 

[Grikath]

It's stupid, but it's proper Trash™ so it'll stay to give vol.2 a shot.

And honestly... overanalysing this type of manga is like that road paved with good intentions.. It leads somewhere for the ones expecting logic and consistency...
It's like analysing a bodice-ripper romance novel according to Feminist Standards...

 

[flannan]

Indeed. I am assuming they work pretty much the same way as people-clearing barriers in so many urban fantasy anime and manga - allowing important people to talk or fight without getting muggles involved.

If all they could get out of a barrier was element of surprise, bandits (and anybody else actually planning to fight) would use mundane and foolproof technology known as "masks".
Also, they would have separate, nondescript, clothes for their banditry. Because coming home all covered in blood is not the way covert operations work.

Of course, occasionally there are fools like those two guys that covered themselves in orange juice to make themselves invisible (because orange juice is an invisible ink). But in fantasy, they get to be goblins, not humans.

Alright, let's go with your insane way of thinking, for the sake of the argument.

Why would they need masks if they have a magic that makes them invisible? Masks would make it more difficult for them to see and breathe, and overall they're not very comfortable. It's much easier to just be dressed normally and rely on your magic to be invisible.
And since they have a person in the group capable of casting a fairly high level spell allowing a full group to not be seen, surely that person can also can a simple everyday life magic such as "clean", or "cleanse", or "purify", or whatever it's called in this world. Assuming that a group of bandits that have access to a mid-level mage or equivalent will use such mundane things as masks and an extra set of clothes is a bit silly.

Besides, since they're bandits, it's not like coming home covered in blood is an issue, because they surely have a hideout outside the city where they can keep their loots and get cleaned up before going in the city. Which also makes the point about the city guards catching him stupid, since there is no guarantee that the guy will go back to the city, maybe he'll just move to another region.

Thank you!

Uh, MC said that the area the abnormally quiet and with clearing barrier and how it works mentally in context it can only mean it was people clearing barrier. To aru Index series has that too where the spell is to cause other people to subconsciously avoid the area. Hence the area being quiet.

MC dispel with that his skill hence his carriage continues to the area hence the "bandits" are being seen so they blocked the path and tries to kill MC and the rest.

MC questioning what they are doing here serves to clue in the readers that those bandits are not just regular bandits and they have other purposes.

At least that's how I understand it.

This chapter out of everything feels the least stupid if you consider typical trash tropes, it is kind of standard

Yeah. if they were even a bit smart, they would probably infiltrate as merchants or something. Since the "Guards" are very lenient they would go right up to the palace.
How has this kingdom not fallen?

 

[BigPoppaEffy]

So far this story seems a little too fast paced and way too simplistic. It's honestly hard to get invested in the characters and story

 

[bearybrown]

So far, the pacing is fast but it is going nowhere yet.

I really thought the 1 year he is imprisoned turns out to be years later and he can start new. Nope, it is exactly 1 year, making the jailed arc seems stupid. They could just say he is 100 years old and being strong because he has immortal skill and it wont change the story.

Get out of jail and still using the same fucking name like he intent to bait both countries to war.

Get S-Rank recognitions but no S-Rank missions while dragons are everywhere.

Got a cat girl slave which was a former princess (of fucking course) for dirt cheap.

Next, he probably gonna topple his old country, resolve his slave's trauma, add the female knight and current country's princess into his harem.

This makes SAO looks like fucking Lord of the Rings. Everything is safe, nothing raises eyebrows even a bit.

However, the translation is top tier, I wish TLs taking better project with their skill.

 

[UncannyLuck]

OK, but when does the immortality come into play?

 

[Keltai]

Damn, this is advanced trash.
