Disappointed Bell isn't with Hestia as well.
Eh, I think we're going to get him soon, just in a different way (albeit bearing in mind that "soon" is relative, and not much time has actually passed chronologically since the beginning of the story). Queen Administrator and Taylor are with Hestia, but that does not remove Bell from the story, and Freya seems intent on Bell having a significant part in their personal tale. Freya wants Bell to grow, to
flourish as vibrantly as possible, and has much the same desire for QA and Taylor as well; as it happens, the path to progress is to overcome difficulty, and thus with
sort of two parties involved, the best, simplest solution by Freya's rationale is to pit them against one another. Freya
meddles; there's no way that Bell and QA/Taylor will stay uninvolved with one another for long. For that matter, if nothing else, Freya could just see that Bell get word of an amazing teacher of heroes giving instruction or a party of girls with a couple of brand new heroines delving into the dungeon at a particular time, and Bell will have a dust cloud trailing his feet as he dashes off.
I believe they actually are. She gained 100 bonus in all categories in 1-2 days, with most of the work not even done by her or when she was around.
If you assume it was over 48 hours, that would be 20 days to max out your stats in all categories. Bell leveled up in a month with all maxed stats, but max stats in 20 days is still at his level or better. Considering it takes him a month and a half for the next level (I think?) this is definitely on par with him, without throwing either QA or Ais into actually dangerous situations or pushing themselves for (likely) as many hours as it took Bell.
Also, this still doesn't address the other problems that I mentioned with this skill in terms of incentives, with how it is currently portrayed. Especially if it stacks with multiple students, since she doesn't have to spend much time training them to get the full bonus apparently, it incentives having multiple students, or having a student grow quickly during the initial period then switching to another student as soon as they start to plateau.
Indeed. Her Teacher of Heroes skill "scales with strength of purpose and achievements of students", suggesting that she improves relative to improvement of her pupil(s), and right now she is teaching someone who completely outclasses even Bell's patently absurd growth rate... and she might piggyback off of
his own rapid growth as well, too, not to mention Lili thrown in as a bonus even without any shenanigans by Taylor. So, then, what might she gain from multiple, rapidly-growing students all taught concurrently while also pushing herself as well? Or with
Freya taking a shine to her as well and pushing her all the more? Bell is good, yes, but he's not better than, well,
himself, really, so I think Aiz is going to prove quite the difficult goal to surpass... especially since that can itself make the goal all the farther away.
Lilli has a skill specificly for that.
Yeah, she is
not what I consider a reliable judge on that front. "Nearly empty", is it? By what metric? Comparative or by flat measurement?
Oh, there's only a few crap-tonnes of stuff in there, no big deal. Eh? What do you mean by "unrealistic perspective"?
I think its a race thing I also think she makes herself look younger but the anime sucks at stuff like that. But more specifically if you saw a black guy who lookwd alot lile a white guy you saw a couple time you wouldn't jump to the idea of them being the same.
Eh, on the one hand, anime is anime; on the other... well the
other people "disguised" at least did
something about their outfits. The
exact same getup that is itself pretty concealing of the actual person wearing it is perhaps not the best disguise to wear, especially around people who might not bother checking their targets too closely anyway. Even if she doesn't want to change her apparel... well why not just change
its appearance too?
Added to that, non combat magic is super rare from what I can tell as adventures are the most likely to get magic and they are fighters. The closest to non combat outside Lilli we see is Chloe Lolo at the Benevolent Mistress, with her Pheles Cruz shadow clone bullshit l, to note that the professional assassin has magic less stealth based than Lilli.
It's an intriguing topic, certainly. Said professional assassin has magic that is arguably less useful for such ends than Lili's own... so what might
she be able to pull off? The magic is as much physical transformation as it is illusion, granting Lili the characteristics of her form where mundane in origin, so I wonder just what the future will have in store once she gets to brainstorming its uses with QA and Taylor. Superior senses alone are handy, but hey, who knows, with development from leveling up, maybe she'll be able to use it to effectively heal herself or turn clothing into instant armour, or the like. It's an ability that lends very well to creativity.
