Yeah, don't try to pull a fast one on this lady. She'll never drop her guard.

"Die and become nourishment for me."
Always trying to level as much as she can.

A double block is generally a bad idea. You tie up both hands to block one.

Yeah, that was the third time he dodged exactly like that.

Gospel is a strong word.

A lot of the things that MC does relies heavily on the 2fast4u wish fulfillment archetype that was popular around the same point as dualblade black swordsman.
Wish fulfilment is a strong word. That usually doesn't rely nearly as much as this does on effort and tactics.

Yes, the "effort and tactics" to throw all your advantages away and fight a longsword user at their optimal engagement distance with knives that don't even have crossguards.

As I said. Gospel is a strong word. There is a lot of decent ideas that go in, but a fundamental conceit that some concepts just don't apply when you are sufficiently edgy.

They're using magic to enhance themselves in a lit rpg game world system. We've gone a ways past normal human abilities and limitations.

She's not really in the business of maximising the amount of people she kills. Which is probably good for her mental health. Like I joked before, she basically kills one fellow assassin for every designated target, so before long, the world would run out of assassins!
When you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for your target, the other for the assassin after your life. Wait, thats not right.




This isn’t a revenge story.

The entire point of the fight was so she could learn how to fight someone at a distance that isn't optimal to her. You can't exactly do that if you fight at your own optimal distance. So her choice was optimal for her. What you seem to be suggesting is akin to bringing a gun to fencing practice. Very efficient for winning, but less so for actually learning anything.

oh i so adore the use of shield like that. I love the way this manga thinks about the kind of magic spells you get in JRPGs, and how someone could use them in a living, adaptable world.

And then uses them to have a teenager watch the life leave a mans eyes. Woo!
