It sounds like basically the same thing as what happened with Kat and Blue, except Kat and Blue kept their sense about them for the most part and didn't panic too badly. I'd imagine that adventure explained briefly to someone you don't respect just to shut them up would sound exactly like that, and I'm personally very unsurprised Thyme has traumatized a few people, after all, the only reason Thyme comes across as so nice instead of the other aspects that come through occasionally is because Thyme likes Kat, because of her attitude. Remember Thymes borderline madness in the Judge game?
Nice chapter. The dialog has been very 'speechy' though, and while I don't care that much, it doesn't feel natural. Everyone is talks as if they've written out their say beforehand instead of how even formal people normally would talk. It makes limited sense for some characters, not so much for others.
Think about it like this, a trained, well kept, fit body is far less likely to fall to sickness, heart attacks (unless you over excersise), falling off an extra large summoned mount, extreme weather conditions you need to adventure through in order to trim the best beasts, etc.
One of my older sisters supposedly was so fluent at speaking by age 2, she actually just wouldn't stop talking. As for other things like reading, I have a brother who taught himself to read a little early, but it probably around age 5. Children's development can differ vastly from person to person. I took so long to start talking my parents started getting pretty worried, my youngest brother couldn't even crawl forward properly for a while, and so on. My nephew took a long time to start speaking fluently, but that's mostly because he doesn't have siblings and covid stopped him from having other kids to talk to and wearing masks so much also makes a big difference. Turns out making kids wear masks all the time is pretty bad for their development.
oh man, this guy's too powerful for the system again... oh no he's actually fighting back... oh my he should have just taken the L...
Unless they were just booing because of his hair, most crowds would love that sort of show of strength
here's the black sash... you've officially been blacklisted
yes, when you see a guy pull back a bow string so far it snaps, the obvious conclusion is that he is very weak...
This student has surpassed all our tests... he therefore has zero potential...
that's like saying "see how long you can last under this masters attacks" and when the master gets beat in 10 seconds, they just say "what an average score, you have no potential..."
