Since these chapter comments are now available, I might as well use them.

So could somebody tell me what's going through this girl's head? She just walks up like a stiff knob and asks if he can do magic augmentation.

Did he do something to give it away? Was there any reason or build-up leading to this? Cuz I've looked this scene over dozens of times now and I've got nothing.

This is like going to a supermarket and asking the guy at the cereal isle if he knows how to build a nuclear reactor.

Please tell me what I'm missing. Whether it's information from the manga, light novel, or the author's Twitter, I don't care. I just want to understand this stupid plot point.

 

[Drifter]

It would be more akin to not finding a car you like at the dealership then turning to another person browsing the lot and asking if he builds cars. It still doesn't make much sense though.

 

[Vykos]

@Aretheus
she's desperate. and she has something akin to 6th sense. she not expected that he can but you know just asking not cost anything.

 

[Arisen]

So even in an isekai world we still can't escape algebra.

I just noticed that the left statue on page 43's first panel is the MC before his reincarnation.

AHHH THE SWORDS OVERLAP EACH OTHER WRONG THE LINE ARTIST MADE A MISTAKE

 

[humbleoverlord]

wuut... did he said the sword weight is only 300G... did this "G" means "gram"? what kind of sword is only weight 0.3 Kg? lol....

Even the most lightweight rapier is around 1 to 1.5 kg...

 

[Lanfear]

they definitely made a mistake on that sword clash lol.

 

[gigabarto]

when you died in a legendary level world and reincarnate in a very easy one

 

[firosahoge]

it's okay, you're not a lolicon, you're 12 now. Safe!!! ?

 

[Wilhelm_Stenvall]

Seriously? A "old man" whom has killed things for hundreds of years is a lolicon?


Also, what's with these "levels" of magic? Only 10 meters?

 

[kurosa]

Plot is so idiotic...

 

[Kastrahl]

Too cliche .
Too much fast .
Very little story development.
And usual reincarnate guy meets teen girl .
Disliking so far .

 

[Glomoro]

@Wilhelm_Stenvall His crest this time is specialized for close range, high power attacks. The other ones generally have better range capabilities but less powerful attack capability. The one he had in his past life especially was not that suited to combat compared to the other three, and would've been better for people doing utility shit like augmenting weapons. This sort of thing has been mentioned in multiple chapters, it's kind of a key mechanic to their magic system.

 

[StarGasm]

Inhales

....

WHAT THE HELL, WAS YOUR WORLD ATTACKED BY 60 FUCKING DEMON KINGS AT THE SAME TIME OR SOMETHING?! 10-20 GODDAMN EFFECTS?! THAT'S BULLSHIT!

Exhales

Wait... Is it?

 

[Sharkexpert12]

I enjoy how the dude tried to walk off like some bad ass only to be reminded he needs to test the rest of the students. Little things like that keep the atmosphere of the world in check rather then just go full on edgefest.

 

[Jobslayer]

Kenja no mago vibes at that introduction scene

 

[flannan]

@humbleoverlord - yes, that sword is ridiculously light and maneuverable, but as a result, it can't survive combat without being enchanted, and even the previous enchanted sword got broken in a fight.
That's why the girls had a hard time finding a replacement.

 

[captain_crunch]

eh, i'm not liking how he's supposed to be a genius, but he's so oblivious about accidentally showing off. after the first few times, why does he still act surprised that other people are surprised? he even says each time that things must be different in this era, but then he doesn't adjust his behavior or expectations at all.
