Yes, thats what I mean tho, if the criteria is valor in saving allies in danger, her actions as an artillery spotter under orders to delay the enemy mages wouldn't qualify, since it certainly didn't go 'above and beyond the line of duty' XD.It's been a while since I read the 1st volume of the light novel, but I'm pretty sure she was a spotter for artillery, and she had delay the enemy mages so they wouldn't destroy the artillery behind her.
She held off and killed the enemy squad herself and nearly died. I think she'd qualify for Ace status on that battle alone.Yes, thats what I mean tho, if the criteria is valor in saving allies in danger, her actions as an artillery spotter under orders to delay the enemy mages wouldn't qualify, since it certainly didn't go 'above and beyond the line of duty' XD.
Yes, but medals are usually awarded based on very specific in criteria, and the specific criteria for silver wings medal that was never mentioned in any of the other media is specified here.She held off and killed the enemy squad herself and nearly died. I think she'd qualify for Ace status on that battle alone.
I just checked and the description for the criteria is taken word for word from the 1st volume of the light novel. Well, word for word in Japanese. The translation is obviously a bit different: "After all, it (The Silver Wings Assault Medal) was reserved solely for those who were like archangels coming to the rescue of allies in crisis."Yes, but medals are usually awarded based on very specific in criteria, and the specific criteria for silver wings medal that was never mentioned in any of the other media is specified here.
If the stated criteria is true, then her actions would qualify her for the combat medal (which is mentioned here being the assault medal and its higher ranked variants, such as with fig leaves, swords, etc., which somehow she just earned the plain assault medal rather than with fig leaves at the time - as mentioned that her medal was Silver wings assault medal, but not improved to the silver wings assault medal with fig leaves until later battles) and the title of ace, but not the silver wings add-on to the combat medal - which as mentioned require the direct act of saving lives under fire moreso than for purely success and valor in combat.
In a way, just like not all medal of honor recipient earns the purple heart, even if the purple heart is a much more common medal.
That is, assuming this manga is canon.
