The Reborn Witch Foretells Destruction - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - A Useless Witch Living Quietly

[mahtan]

In the begining why didn't just use "destroy" to remove the lid instead of trying to blow it off?
Anyway she is far from useless, she can erase the existence of things and create very destructive explosion, if anything she is an amazing weapom.
She really sells explosions and destroy magic without realizing hwo dangerous they are? Cute. Though the premise of the world itself is weird, there are two populations: Those than potentially can destroy the whole continent with a single word and those that can't do anything by themseves... clealy a setting in which humans would live in harmony with one another and the ones with power would not try to take over or anything...

@Nyaaa
Agreed but I have already gave up in expecting any isekai MC to be smart.

@mahtan
I don't think you understand who she is. She said it herself that she can't control her magic. She tried to destroy just the lid but her magic destroyed the entire thing. It was because of her out of control magic that she is considered useless not that she use destroy magic.
Her selling her magic like that is the only way for her to actually contain her magic. Not to mention that she has to earn money somehow.

@Barrubo
I don't think you understood what I said nor the story of the manga.
Magic that destroy and/or alto-kill something, even out of control, has a lot of uses. She is not stupid and she is the only one that see herself as useless.
That she says she is useless shows that she is just being stupid because she has the necessary knowledge of how useful her magic can be, even out of control.

 

[Barrubo]

Well okay you got me there. But I think that doesn't consider her stupid. I think she is just afraid that the magic she uses could backlash. I read the second chapter and I thought to myself. 'She has the power but doesn't have the training to put it into use. She knows how useful it is sure but that still doesn't lessen the worries that swarms her heart. That's why she puts it in these containers because that may be the only way for her to do it without breaking anything.

To me she seems like the kind of person that worries too much on what other people's opinions are on her without actually hearing their actual opinion. That is not stupidity, that's just fear.

Sorry if I'm still wrong but that is my opinion.

[sunsetchaos]

...this is kinda depressing. Losing her moms early twice....

 

[daijokay]

[Shakur]

Goddamn imagine living like a depressed teen since birth. And what kind of kid would make fun of someone cause of explosion magic !? So unrealistic...

 

[Winchan]

If anything, Megumin will be super proud.

this is sad :<

Idk why people are hating on her so much. She's clearly afraid of people and when you see what he can do with his wind magic, her magic is comparatively useless. Her ability is useful mainly for military purposes (if controlled). In terms of day to day life, destroying things isn't as versatile. Other magic is versatile, hers is powerful. But in day to day life, it is not necessary to have powerful magic. She's not someone in a military setting and I don't think she wants to be used as a human weapon

 

[PaperSun]

Aww poor thing, since shes a shut in im guessing she can't control her magic? Otherwise life as a muggle would be an option. And I like this guy, he has my interest.

 

[OllyMolly]

I'm a hikikomori as well. But if I'm Isekai'd I'd want to have the power to be invisible & scentless lol so I can sneak about in the wilderness.

 

[jaellasster]

it's kinda sad that she still remembers her past life, she must miss her mom in her modern past life so much 😔 she's literally alone in a new world with a destructive power she can't control 😔

 

[erikatakeru]

Remembering your past life and how you died? That's so sad. Seems like she grew up alone in her 2nd alone. That's just depressing in many ways.

HOUSE HUSBAND?!
