Funniest part is how MC is wondering why the noble is holding back. "Smh why isn't this noble actually trying to kill me?" Perhaps he has basic morals or at the very least common sense? Why is he expecting the dude to treat this like a deathmatch? So fucking stupid. He's a pompous asshole, but at least he's not out for blood (yet.) MC has to be kinda dumb to not realize that. I don't know why I get my hopes up every time. These kinds of series are always as basic as they seem.
