The sword hero getting his ass handled by the sword women did help. For a few day, that is. It's their fantasy isekai. Them actually doing work, they don't like is too hard for them. (Though I see why they want to rise their levels. It does increase there states (measurable) and doing the other stuff seemingly doesn't. Also the Ki training thing is kinda demotivating with those outlooks. But I in their stead would at least give it a real shot. Using a second magic pool? Being able to still do stuff even though my main skills are somehow blocked/countered? Sounds like it's worth it.)
I also theorised like Laughing_Snake, that the stubbornness of the three heros might be caused be mind magic. It feels so unreal, that they are suuuuch major pains in the ass.
Also. I've recognized that last chapter and now in this chapter, too. Is that "Bitch" there in one of the parties? It's been so long since the chapter of her demotion has been released. What's the reason, why she is there again? I forgot.
