I'm not sure it's a good thing for them to get a rank up when they're quite obviously being carried by her. Despite her incredible magic, Haruka is obviously inexperienced so it's a good thing to start from the bottom and learn the ropes even for her. The others do show promise, since they managed to trap the boar and that means they can survive such encounters with a monster that requires at least rank 4, but they need to build up their strengths.

Simply wholesome and refreshing.
Just a little curious how quickly things might escalate or if the characters mature properly alongside the MC

Yeah I'm a bit worried because without Haruka no way would they have killed it. Gotten away safely? Sure. But they aren't at Haruka's level, and it could end up becoming dangerous as a result.

That said I want a headpat from Haruka.

Yeah, honestly Haruka if she knew what to do she could probably solo it without any struggle. They could get away from it by the looks of it, but if they had turned around with the same plan without Haruka one of them would probably have died, most likely Albert.

I agree. I’m afraid it would lead to tragedy to rank up too quickly.

I know the classic Ancestor quote, but in my opinion a LACK of confidence is a slow and insidious killer. Being inert for years at a time due to your lack of it until you stop moving entirely.

Overconfidence is usually a loud, bombastic and borderline entertaining killer.

Haruka gets the kill, but Montana gets the win due to coming up with a plan that would have, at the very least, let everyone escape even without Haruka, at least if they didn't fixate on attacking instead of retreating once their first few hits did nothing. Neutral score for Corin, who didn't contribute much but also did nothing wrong.

Al needs help. Got careless and stumbled into the boar in the first place, taking group credit for the obvious hard carry, and, as his continued low rank shows, is slacking overall, even compared to Corin, who really shouldn't be that far ahead of him.
