Since the first time I saw him, I’ve been curious >!about the aura he farms with those low stats! Those 3 swords he carries always made me curious!<. I was told one of them is >!called Clau Solath and it's a big deal like the Celtic equivalent IRL!<. Is it as overpowered as >!Han’s sword, Bifrost!< ? Also, is it >!the black one he uses most of the time?!<

I want to slowly enjoy the chapters >!(except regarding Lidigyon — I want every spoiler I can get about him and his swords/skills for the hype), and I haven’t seen a single panel mentioning his equipment or skills in depth!<. I wonder if the novel or side stories mention this in more detail?

We saw in the early chapters >!that he has a skill called [Heavenly Sword Order]!<, and I also read the name >![Heart of the Sword]!< in another post. I believe >!it’s the same skill with a different translation, but it could also be a separate skill. Maybe that is why his skills may not be accurately measured by the sistem? My theory is that he has hidden % multipliers given by his skills on top those stats from a dialog betwen him and Han.!<

I love how the author referenced >!the five (sometimes six) sword-category trope that also exists in other stories like ERK!<. >!We only saw it during the training panels with Lidigyon in Niflheim, where he mentioned the strong sword and smooth sword!<. I wonder if that concept was dropped, since I never saw it being explored further afterward.

So I was going over a few chapters from the beginning of the story (year 1 in the timeline) and found something weird. The reason Janica calls the darkness spirit Velosfer and goes berserk a month early is because, in the joint combat, Taylor McLore loses to Lucy Maeryll, unlike in the OG timeline. So Janica steals the spotlight from Taylor McLore for being the ONLY SECOND YEAR to win.

Lucy Maeryll is a first year, so that means Taylor is a second year like Ed Rothtaylor??? That cannot be, I found a page on the manwha were Ed says Taylor is a first year, also OG Ed Rothtaylor messed with Taylor entrance exam at some point (unless they were talking about something that happened 1 year prior to the begining of the story), but when we are explained more about the anual joint combat in later parts of the story, it is explained that matches are only betwen people of different years.

Even though this guy was supposed to be a true "protagonist" and "gets OP powers" — info we get from Ed — he is never mentioned as being a top student at any point in time. I get that Ed stole a ton of XP from him, fine… but bro is being benched from the top combat student position by a NO-SHOW called Drake.

Regarding my favorite character Lidigyon, please spoil me novel readers!

Taylor McLore is in the same year as Ed Rothtaylor(?)
