Always appreciate an MC who doesn't piss himself whenever talking to a girl. I dig the battle junkie vibe too.

 

[Bibliothecarius]

Thnks for the chapter!

 

[drageoon]

Hmph, bow down mongrel.

 

[Karikko]

mc said magic was new in his time in the first chapter, so it can be assumed that magic was initially inferior to swordsmanship and improved over time

This is make sense. I did miss that part from the first few pages. Now I can imagine their relationship is something like "now we have gun, why must we use sword".

(That is if the sword technique isn't on something too fantastical like sudden beam attack from the slash, why magic when sword can do that too)

Gil-kun, come get your daughter

Maybe that first Mage victory against a swordsman was the turning point for magic. It was at that point that magic was better than swords, so it was just seen as the better weapon. It can also be that the defeat took such a reputation blow against swordsmanship that it was seen as a laughingstock, and therefore, caused the decline of sword masters, and swordsmanship in general.

Yeah, it could be. Though that would be weird. If it's far too superior, then why still add swordsmanship to the academy division? Just to bully everyone in it? that's a waste of resource and time for the country.

Normally I would expect that if swordsmanship is still somewhat useful as a low level soldier ability. But looking how unpopular it is, I don't think the amount of swordsman is good enough as mere footsoldier squad. There will be too many stronger mages after all. Just go all mages squad then.

If it will be a "we need vanguard to cover for mages" then it won't make sense to bully a job that actually cover for your weakness.

Honestly, it seems like the history behind the decline of swordsmanship isn't too important to the story, as more the redemption of swordsmanship.

I think the understanding of the decline is important, to appreciate the impact of the redemption later.

'Hmm swordsman-who-primarily-trains-against-opponents-with-swords, you might have shown that you can handle a mage, but how will you possibly deal with me, an opponent with swords?'

Free lifetime supply of swords

I love your speculations, but sadly, I feel that this story won't be the type of story that will delve in the interesting bits of backstory or give clear explanations on why swordsmanship was tossed aside.
Like it made a premise and won't explain it any further.
Typical for these types of stories

 

[Lord_Ad5]

Will there be more updates. Interesting read

 

[MewOne]

I . . . . am the bone of my sword

 

[aveney41]

Story is moving at a break neck pace. I don't exactly hate it but I feel like we're missing a lot lol. And why is the MC's common sense so wildly bad. We don't know a thing about him. Oh well this is fun tho. A good battle junky is nice.

Also thank you for the translations but this font really hurts the eyes.

 

[Swegcat]

Archer Class is really made out of Archer.

Why use bows when you can use magic

 

[ShaDowX95]

A mage defeated a sword saint, than it's considered as a stain in swordsman history. Implying that before that defeat, they were always superior to mage.

Suddenly after that defeat, every swordsman is useless against magic. That would imply the same spell power level that was used against the last sword saint is easily replicated by most mage. Enough to make most mages looked down to most swordsman. That's weird imo.

I still can't grasp this history.
But for now let's just see how they unfold more of this declination of swordsmanship.

MC mentioned in the first chapter that magic was a new discovery back in his time. So most likely magic wasnt used for battle yet.
In the same vein of guns, as magic develop, the sword decline. Until the defeat of a sword saint hailing a full take over.

 

[exxeld]

"do you have enough swords" ass fight lmao

Oh well, a shame if it will be like that. I kind of liking the MC a bit.

But hey, at least this shouldn't be a typical manhua development (overpowering new bullies every few chapters).

 

[Otaku_D_Gamer]

This manga looks cool so far.

 

[mokonaarappa]

another gilgamesh but ojou

If it will be a "we need vanguard to cover for mages" then it won't make sense to bully a job that actually cover for your weakness.

This part makes sense actually. Because they would be less of a knight and more of a meat shield.
