She still is an asshole, if she wanted to fight... she should have just said so, instead of that aggressive provocation.
Lon had to intervene and got chewed out for nothing because this prick is a total idiot.
But the visualization of how her overwhelming power is making him rethink his views is pretty interesting.
I don't think he can win if he doesn't use any sort of special skill, her vitality clearly is well above anything possibly human.

Could just be the dragon is a big dum-dum who failed to consider how giving information about the most likely sequence of future events might cause an individual to act differently from those predictions.
This could be caused by anything from the folks from fantasyland (those in the know, at least) taking the dragon's predictions for an unavoidable fact (and thus not bothering to try, leading to the dragon not having to take such things into account and keeping the prediction abilities untrained for such eventualities) to a sufficient difference in imagination (i.e. the ability to concieve of possibilities being sufficiently different between the people from the two worlds).
Also, far as I can tell "free will" doesn't exist (present is determined by the past, we just don't know - and possibly can't know - enough of how things work to become Laplace's demon - or any sufficiently close approximation thereof), and "fate" to me implies "intent" (if you're at A and fated to go to B, you'd end up there regardless of which path you took - and also whether or not the contrivances that lead you there would make any sense, or happen at all if you didn't try to fight it) which makes the whole concept (and word) feel that much more icky.

What a nice chapter.
In regards to the first path the dragon has somewhat already shown that what it sees will come to pass regardless of what he tells people. Toki apparently being the sole exception and being able to change the future.
The second part is just is just a fundamental difference in worldview.

My bad for missing that.
Yeah, pretty much. On that note, here's a little hypothetical...
A person is offered a choice between eating either a serving of food they love, or one that they hate.
The only positive or negative consequences are the experience of eating/having eaten something tasty vs something disgusting.
The person in question, of their own free will, eats the food they hate.
I could come up with a number of reasons why the person might have chosen what they did, but each of them (in essence) refute the premise that the choice was made of the person's own free will (for can you really consider a choice to have been made of one's own free will, if there's a clear causal relation to past events?). What about you?
I would call that making an informed decision, using posessed knowledge to measure your options and chose the best course of action. However, you dont need to take the best option. You could take any of the thought off options or even try to think outside the box.
Lets say you have a training routine and work out some specific days of the week. You have at any of those sessions the option to move the day or to skip it solely based on what you want to do.
