Instead of working hard to become stronger, mr bandit used what little strength he had to pick on people weaker than him. Then he gets mad when her encounters someone stronger and starts blaming the strong for being strong while he’s still weak. It’s clear he and his cohorts have skill but they use it to pick on people weaker than them rather than face something challenging and improve themselves through failure.

I’ve always been a little disturbed the Great Sage thinking. It’s clear her way of thinking is alien since she was born with great power. She’s so confident in her own abilities she’s willing to let her students fight life and death battles in her school because she can heal even an amputated arm afterwards, then scolds the faculty for wanting to stop them because, to her, it just means they’re all weak.

She gets whatever she wants because people are afraid of what will happen if she becomes angry. It’s really scary actually

that was a cute ending, little sad, but still cute

@Scrabbleman nah, they were strong enough to consider other people ants as well. I bet they knew the feeling of fighting "ants", although I dunno if they bothered to hold back or if they were ok with killing them (bandits, yknow).

The only one who lacks empathy and ability to comprehend other mindsets would be the great sage, with 300 years to get set in her ways and enough power to consider all other humans as ants.

"The weak and the strong will never understand each other"

I dunno, that seems pretty poetic, don't you think? The differences between the two are so massive that they can never reach an understanding. Both of them have problems of their own and neither will be able to comprehend it. Everyone is entitled to their own suffering, no more than anyone else.

I kinda like it. It's tragic and all that jazz.

Nah. He's a selfish bandit who was quite literally trying to murder innocents. I've lived and worked on a farm before, and it only took myself and my sister to grow enough vegetables to feed the four of us most of the year round. We bought meat, sure. But he can hunt his own. He's just lazy and turned to banditry to take the easy way out.
I seriously doubt there are a ton of super powerful adventurers out there at all. Let alone ones who would be doing C, D, or E rank quests from the adventurer's guild. So he's full of it all the way around.

Ignoring the representative of the weak being a poor representative, the concerns of the strong are not equivalent to those of the weak. Having a large amount of power will always be better than having no power. "You also will never understand the feeling of holding back so as not to crush an ant". Being able to provide such an analogy shows that the weak person already has a comparable experience. Ergo, they would understand to an extent. Someone with power, however, won't understand the feeling of someone who never had any control over their own fate. What the author presents is just pure ideology without substance.

@fatalystic

Which is bull. There can't be many who are THAT strong. In other words, someone was a little stronger than him and got hired to do a job instead of him and now he's bitching like his whole life is wasted. He didn't HAVE to turn to crime in this case - and there are people that truly have to.

@Riger: He means that it's because of people like Laura and the Sage who are born monstrously strong essentially competing with normal people like him for jobs that he's got no choice but to resort to crime. i.e. They're so strong they're taking all the jobs that pay any decent amount of money, while people like him can't even get by on the scraps left over.

Pee.

Small dragon rubs butt on head.

@Psycrhonia I was thinking that too.

This was a nice chapter.

@Riger and for some reason after all he has done he somehow isn't a monster...

"I'm weak, so I murder and rob innocent people"... How tf does that make any sense at all?

This was pretty heavy stuff for a generally light and fluffy story. Good chapter though.

@Wolvenworks catch me if you can. :P

@Ifrittuccia you bitch. that...that's..*sniff*that's low....*sniff*

This counted as extra credit; right Principal?

*me throws onions under everyone's eyes* 👹

They forgot to do their homework, right?
