Please note that everyone voting the same way can screw people just as much as help them. It's usually not worth trying to game the system so much as being aware of it.
He's already been noted to be able to take a lot more due to how he handled the language transfer and while it was mostly a mental thing it's still enough for him to be noted to be impressive. So an impressive medical pavilion person keeping up with more physical people wouldn't be to surprising.
It's worth noting that while disciples were tagged, they weren't grouped. That is, Yon was given a Medical token, but I don't think he's with the other Medical disciples, just whoever was nearby when he got to the front of the line. So most of the people here are likely combat disciples (from whatever division that is in this story)
Ideally, we want to keep up. That means that we don't stand out in the moment, and there's no need to treat us any differently from anyone else, and then later when they have reason to check and it turns out that we're an alchemist, it makes us look a bit better.
Guys, I know this might be a bit out there, and it's kind of a gut feeling. Honestly I don't even know where this is coming from, i'm going out on a bit of a limb here...
...You do realise that me looking at the giant pillars of flesh being used as portals and me going "I think we might not be on the side of the angels" is very much meant to be something of a shitpost, right?
Probably, though I do hope we last long enough to start punching up against these guys.
We are absolutely working for baddies.
I know I was just using it as a pivot to talk about oh hey us being the baddies is kinda a big deal and should be talked about.
Yon has morals it's just he's always going to prioritize survival and personal growth which is understandable. But even being a good boss and reasonable person makes him better then most people around him.
That's fair. Years of being awful at detecting sarcasm has left me with a powerful instinct to play it straight as a defense mechanism, even when I have successfully detected that it is sarcasm.
"Going out on a pile of malformed corpseflesh", while a more accurate description of Yon's method of travel, doesn't quite have the same ring to it as an idiom.
Oh dear, we are so fucked
Honestly, a read a lot of his current survival prioritisation and personal growth to me read as him having just kind of accepted that He'll never be able to do anything about it, so why bother giving a shit. Depending on how things turn out, that might expand as his circumstances change.
He's long since accepted that the world is shit and there's nothing he can really do about it. He can control his own actions and that's it and he chooses to look after himself and his people.
Yon for all that he's able to take the beatings and keep his mouth shut and head down, he's still human and he hates the people who've hurt him and doesn't really like those like them. So it's natural to have schadenfreude when they're on the other side of things for once. For all that Va and Yon's relationship is primarily business they're actually friends in a weird way and she isn't really going to have as easy of a time adapting as he is.
