You would think getting into a fist fight with a bad knee would be a bad idea. Considering he has defensive magic, he could stay in a bubble and blast them from the inside, but I guess if he doesn't want any of them to escape then that option isn't great since some of them might get away.
Considering what we've seen in the previous chapters before, this is just a typical banditslaying filler chapter, nothing exciting to see here, so move along, dear folks.
Let me guess, considering the low rating on this manga, on this site, and facts from previous chapters, the MC will NOT kill those bandits, but let them live, unpunished or semi-punished.
@flannan Y'know I don't disagree that he's capable of dealing with some pain but I kinda wonder why he wouldn't just... not put himself through more pain than necessary. I'm sure he's got lots of magic options that'd be easier on his leg.
@Fari It's awfully hard to not do as you're used to doing, even if you know it's not the best option. You may have experienced it when switching from one computer game to another that has different controls.
I'm really disappointed if the only thing this mc is capable of killing is farm- and wild animals (meaning just another idiot who only knocks out criminals who try to murder him)
