Tensei Ouji wa Daraketai - Vol. 3 Ch. 23

[Kyujyu]

Ah the classic dormitory 'welcoming party'. Even in isekai you can't escape it.

@Psychronia Since when did Phil drag his friends? You reading different manga?
1. The senpai will beat them all out eventually so it doesn't matter who volunteered.
2. Kyle volunteer for the fight first.
3. Then the other 2 feels its wrong to let just Kyle and a small boy like Phil receiving the beating first (obviously no one knows he is strong) and volunteered too ( to be beaten up together).

You never went to dormitory I guess?

Kyle Ray kinda deserves to be roughed up a little. Well, it the girls fault, if they start something with him in first place and they or their close ones don't like the result. But he is still an asshole, that cares only about himself and took much grunge upon himself, because of that. So yeah. EditKyle also deserves to be roughed up a bit. He wants it that way.)

Seemingly I'm alone with this opinion, but I like the underestimated/undercover trope quite a bit, if done well. It's logical in most cases to not flaunt your own strength, in case it is OP. It's not logical to fake being a total wuss in most cases, though. This happens too often and helps to earn a lot of scorn for this trope. So 1., don't act like an underdog, if not absolutely necessary. 2. Don't keep this up for too long or have an alterego (Batman), that does something with that power, or the audience gets bored. ("Why does MC have that power, if she/he doesn't use it?")

Why I like this trope?:
1. There are MUCH worse tropes out there. This one is bearable and some plot devices have to be added to a story anyway.
2. I love the reactions of people, who suddenly notice, they f*cked up.
3. While it takes away a portion of the MC's freedom to act, it also gives the MC paradoxically more freedom to do outrageous things, when undercover.
4. It can be ended swiftly by revealing his potential, when it grows boring.

Actually a pretty decent trope.

Wow it's been years since the last update and we just entered the school drama for boys which is fighting.

To be fair McBear shouldn't even need his swordsmanship to go against those three, if we just look at the difference in age and physique.

@Qelix
Did you maybe get the names confused? Kyle is the black haired servant type friend of Phil, Ray is the womanizer with the girlfriends and the big grudge from a lot of classmates.

 

[Qelix]

@GerryCerryBery: Whoops. Corrected.

"I don't think that kind of class provide any meaningful lessons"
That just shows your lack of understanding....
That kind of lesson has 2 things to teach: How it feels to fight against a way more powerful opponent and how good team work can surpass impossible odds.
The first one is important if they are expected to fight powerful opponents that a normal human would not be able to fight against, like dragons or the black calamity.
The second is to show that numbers by itself does not do much if they don't know how to work together.

As long as there is lessons to capitalize on that it is a pretty good move.


Also before anyone says anything about the injures remember that there is magic in this world.

Thanks for the double release. =)

@mahtan You do make a good point but, would you expect elementary students to figure that out on their own? Phil could've figured it out if he thought about it a bit but he clearly didn't do that here, and the teacher clearly didn't explain it either. Honestly it sounds like the author is trying to use it as an example of Mcbear being a bully or something but his attitude here makes him seem more like an idiot.

i hate orientation...stupid bullying seniors...

 

[Solaz]

Next thing you know one of these kids bring a magic weapon to school to get back at the bullies tormenting them

 

[srjoao]

i love this manga too much

 

[Pokari]

Ahh... hazing. Good to see he's chosen such a good school? >_>;

I assume that the follow-up to this is going to be more subtle than, "Meet my doggo, destroyer of worlds. Now, sit," but that would be satisfying.
