LCD The Undetectable Strongest Job: Rule Breaker

Why do I get this feeling Pia will turn yandere for Paula and return to kill her in the name of love..... Or money. That greed was palpable.

 

I don't like pia... Priscilla is good chara and should be added to MC's party since she's one of the most level headed charas so far and MC's team seriously is deficit in terms of level headed members

 

No need for those if you have absolute power...
Also stealth Lavia is hax. Its like creeding a Manticore formation against an Ork player. Effective to the point of being unfair, and seriously unfun for anyone but the IG player.

 

But will choose to stay in hiding forever? Sure mc can grow stronger a lot and much faster and same goes for his companions but if he kept making dumb decisions alone with no one to discus with it will eventually lead to ruin... Lavia usually just follows whatever mc decides and new party member Paula looks to belong to same category. One wrong decision and while party dead. I still think he needs to expand the party Priscilla would be nice addition with her bow skills and level headed judgement best out of rest of the group. Also the guild girls were good too especially Gloria was able to some nice decisions.
Ploughing through everything with op power will just get you so far if you want to live peacefully like mc wants to do

 

No. Stealth is op as fuck. Even if someone threatened them it would end in mutual destruction, on a national level if needed. Who can even deal with Lavia OR Hikaru? Nuke from stealth. stealth again, done. Rinse and repeat until nothing remains. The only counter shown so far is a sky high intuition, but even that barely works. Asymetrical warfare is disgustingly effective, the US generals can cry you a river over it. And neither of them is anywhere near the peak they could reach.

 

Going by what we've seen in dungeon arc... It's possible for gods to be involved later on and I highly suspect it would work on them

 

And thats why the "Heaven's x" series of skills exists, presumably.

 

That means there must be gods with godly stealth and instinct too

 

I guess its time to drop the novel. It had some potential but the author just had to do an ATG level asspull to get any tension going. Little of the situation makes any sense, and only happened for the rule of drama.

 

So, rather than quickly casting a low tier spell that would incinerate them before they could think, she cast a high tier spell as a distress signal? Is she really that determined to be a damsel? Does she just get off on being rescued? If so, Hikaru is not going to have a peaceful life.

 

Remember she doesn't 'really' have low-tier spells. Her output is so ridiculous even after tweaking her proficiency, she can only limit the area of effect, her lowest power will still turn someone to ash. Remember how relieved she was that she wouldn't have to take the entrance exam?

 

Thats only adding insult to injury. Point is that the entire thing is contrived garbage of the highest order. Hence why I dropped the novel.

 

That's exactly my point. Even her weakest, fastest cast spell would incinerate them, so why bother with the spell that's useless instead?

Btw, its not that she can't do low tier magic, if that's what you meant. She can do it just fine, the spells just come out unreasonably strong.

 

I wouldn't go that far. We know the king is searching for Lavia, his crack black-ops team was sent elsewhere instead of to the Noble claiming the throne like everyone expected and from the Forestia meeting, we know some 'spies' were sighted. This isn't exactly out of nowhere.

True, but either way she'll have to kill them, and unlike Hikaru, Lavia hasn't be tested in that capacity. The King might want her as a murder weapon but she's still a greenhorn. It's a bit much to expect her to kill off an enemy at first sight right away. Maybe if she felt really cornered before Paula became a hostage.

 

Well, even if she didn't want to kill, she'd just given her cloak to Paula. So, a quick fire spell to draw their attention away from her and attract the guards to her location would create the necessary distraction for both of them to "disappear."

 

Plus, under adrenaline, its quite likely she would just blow them up. But noooo. Instead we have multiple asspulls stacked atop each other for no bloody reason except drama.

 

It's not because of drama. Killing someone for the first time when you're not ready for it is drama. This was just so the author's insert could be the hero again.

 

Think about this realistically:

• Teenage Girl
• Lived a Sheltered Life
• Only has fought beasts/monsters
• A mage

Up against:

• Multiple assailants
• With the element of surprise on their side
• Trained, especially in close combat against people.
  
• Mission was to hunt her specifically, knowing she's basically a nuke.
  
• With a hostage.

She may be able to nuke things, but she can not win against these guys based on her own skill set, experience, and location. She was pretty much at a disadvantage. Hell, she was midway through activating a spell when they grabbed Paula and made threats. She's not gonna be able to make a move before they put her down. And no, she wouldn't be able to distract them.

 

Right~~ the least she can do was sending a distress signal and covering it so that the assailant didn't notice, and seeing as she lived a sheltered live and know about outside world from novel maybe she doesn't want to think about the possibility that the assailant decide to kill Paula when they already promise to let go of her as long as she follows them.

 

My problem is that the situation was contrived to make her a damsel again. There was no need to. The author just likes having Hikaru rescue her and for her to be helpless without him. Also, as @CuberAzrael said, if she could think clearly enough to send out a distress signal that Hikaru might not even see, she could think clearly enough to fire off a lower cost spell, or heck, scream at the top of her lungs to attract the guards.
