Nanatsu no Maken ga Shihai Suru - Vol. 2 Ch. 9 - Colosseum

@Burner5 Survival of the fittest and darwin's award combined to weed out the weak and stupid leaving the best and smartest to graduate as wizards... I guess.

It's a story that is trying to establish varying levels of world building... it is doing it okay enough(won't complain about that one), but the author is putting too much emphasis on it without establishing an actual plot of events to follow.
So, we have:
-People go to an academy to become magicians
-Monsters are hated (but some do have intelligence and emotions), as a result of that, there is a devision of conservatives and liberals on that front.
-Samurai girl is from a war that happened to explain why she wants an honorable death.

But... What is TRULY the plot hook, the main conflict? It seems like it is supposed to be the monster thing... But it is being very strange about it, since there is not a single reasonable conservative to provide benefits for people to not save monsters, so it is one-sided and pointless for other than battle... Oh, and the conservatives are fucking insane with horrifying magic that straight up say EVUL(abortion magic lady, looking at you)

Seriously, what the fuck is going on in that school?

 

[StrangeStripes]

Clearly the artist has a very strong influence on the story.

 

[Joonhas]

Wouldn't a "School of human trash" be more appropriate name for that academy, since most of the people there are just plain douchebags?
Kinda stupid since most people there are just painted as plain evil and ignorant bullies of a people there, except our main cast and some other individuals.

 

[Hadski]

Yes kill all of them

 

[RevereShin]

I don't want to be one of THOSE guys but... oh wait, yes I do.
FUCK 'EM LIL' SHITTIN' TURD NUGGETS UP, GARUDA!

That being said, this 'arc' (if you can even call it that) is getting stale reeeeeeeeeeeeal quick with assholes being assholes, doing asshole things, just for the sake of being assholes... asshole.

[Xeli]

The story is jumping all over the place lmao.

 

[Sheruff6]

It's been 9 chapters and we've still got no idea what is this shit all about

 

[natchu96]

@Burner5 Well they were pretty upfront in the opening ceremony about the death rates...git gud basically, I suppose?

 

[SoMaKa]

Good job Garuda. Go wreck that shit hole of an academy

 

[DANDAN_THE_DANDAN]

@Boomburst The only hook is that this is a magic School with swords and wands. The author messed up. The inciting incident here works for a slice of life story, not a fantasy story. Rn I'm reading this as school drama with magic which is why I'm still intrigued but honestly the author needs to know what they're doing.

As for the school stuffs, their justification is the exposition scene from the opening whee the principal straight up said that students will die but that's the cost of learning magic. Yeah that's not justification, more like an excuse for setting up students in dangerous scenarios.
