Letting them live. Classic rookie mistake an experienced man like the MC should avoid. The brigands will return and probably force him to expose his abilities.
@Legion_01 Yeah. I can imagine them ganging up on MC in some alley. MC kicks their ass, and then that dude that has thrown a chopstick sees the scene and gets suspicious of MC or sth.
@R4nd0mus3r But it's not like he is trying to hide it, rather, he can't because of the energy he has in his body(That guy at his home noticed him due to that). Besides, surely he has countless tricks to get rid of them, plus from now on if he's going to get involved with the murin world he won't be able to avoid fights.
@Mythoroid If you hate "those kinds of things," then don't read it. You were already told why he is avoiding using magic, it's because priests get hunted down and killed by murim as a result of some dispute we don't have all the information about. He emits energy, which he cannot hide, but he knows no martial arts. He can only fight with magic. As long as he doesn't fight, people who can sense his energy will just assume he's a martial artist and leave him alone. Using magic in the middle of a fucking bar just to resolve a dispute with some idiots is the dumbest possible move he could make. There's no way stories of that wouldn't spread. He would have murim on his ass within a week.
If you can't accept the perfectly reasonable and sound logic behind it, then just drop it. Walk away. There are plenty of edgelord chunni isekai revenge stories out there for you.
