I just read chapter 52 and I definitely hate how the teacher dealt with that. I know the point is to teach Helmut to be «human», however he is not fit to be giving lecture as he is (partially) the reason the situation escalated to this point.
«you are deflecting the questions» so are you? A half-assed, one sentence apology won't make up for the fact that two vulnerable students (as they have no noble title/family to protect them) have suffered from an assassination attempt from one of the most dishonorable group comandited by another student under your responsibility whom you knew was hostile towards commoners.
It is true that Asuka usually react to every provocation with violence, but Helmut does not, they both held back and waited until the officials duels. What they did wasn't mindless primal violence or whatever the teacher's trying to pass this off, this was two 15 years olds with no power other than their raw strength, putting an end to the constant threat and harassment in the only way they could.
The teacher is asking them to trust the institution right after telling them that the academy knowingly did not do anything about their harassment.
Honestly I don't even know what to say? I really hope all that mommy bs is just stuff being mistranslated (I'm in denial) but even then beside the mom kink can we talk about lil bro actions?
I think we brushed over the fact he tried to put a photo of teacher wearing a raunchy cow underwear being humiliated as his official picture of the university website. This is insane, not having a mom doesn't justify being a horrible person, he had his big bro as a role model (he may be dumb but he's kind and responsible towards him).
I have trouble really analyzing his character because of the translation but he's really getting creepier. Exchanging his name with his classmate to play a prank on the teacher is funny. Running his teacher's carrier isn't
seriously these guy are just two college kid with no special background, how on earth does the author manage to make their relationship seem more fucked up than some of the other mafia/gangster/omegaverse I've read?
bottom (can't be bothered to remember his name) is just some guy with trust issue who's mildly masochist why did he suddenly become psycho?
ok what this reminds me of? mangaka who aren't allowed to finish their story the way they want it to because of their editors so the story goes to shit. I'm literally convinced the author wanted to end this wayyyy sooner (maybe the 30 chapters of angst and bitter sweet ending were put there bc of that) but he's not allowed to bc of his contract so he ruin his story on purpose since there's nothing else he wants to draw with these characters
like a lot of other readers I'm getting a bit bored of this. We know Ijin is super strong and we know he'll surprise everyone who underestimated him, we don't need to keep being proven that he's the strongest as that was something already established in the first chapter when he singlehandedly saved the lieutenant and several civilian from a hostage situation. we've seen that he's the strongest during the first arc (not counting the bully bc beating up entitled teenagers doesn't really count) where Yuna got kidnapped.
I want to see what was promised to us in the beginning, a young man who has known nothing but war, death and conflicts learn about love (not necessarily romantic) and normalcy, ofc not without hurdles but the author is giving us nothing but hurdles. I want to see Ijin get along with the other numbers, after they learned he didn't actually betray them and kill the rest of them I want to see their interaction, that chicken party would've been such a cute scene with everyone present.
and eventually I'd like for the numbers to be introduced to his bio family
I'll continue reading bc I'm invested but I'm really getting tired at how repetitive it is. this arc (woman who got drugged as a ploy from her company) is literally a copy and paste from the entertainment girl who was stalked: Ijin arrives isn't really taken seriously and is treated kind of like an intern (which he is technically but yk basic respect and all that), finds a problem and tries to solve it (girl bf or company sponsor who wants her ass) is stopped by the other bodyguards he beat them up, the woman finally believes in his ability and ask for his help, Ijin calls the chairman, he beat up some more ppl and everything is resolved. EVERY. SINGLE. ARC. HAS BEEN THAT SAME PATTERN









It would be so cute if both couple confessed on the same beach
