I Will "Parry" All: The World's Strongest Man Wanna Be an Adventurer - Chapter 20

Re-reading and the dude can shatter a wooden target at 300m with a thrown rock. How by any metric is that useless for adventuring? A U.S. Soldier shoots a gun at targets 300 meters away as the furthest target they aim at and the target is fine afterwards. This child does more damage than a rifle with a stone at the same distance and NEVER MISSES. He would be the scariest adventurer to ever live.

ok so after reading up to this point I finally feel like I have an explanation for why everyone seems to write off Noru and why he himself does. The whole power system they live by is based on skill accumulation. They assume that more skills = more power. So even though Noru is basically a prodigy in every adventuring discipline as admitted by each of the masters, the fact he has basically no skills for adventuring meant he was basically the weakest person there in that regard. What they should have done was basically let him know that he’s extremely talented even with his low level skills and help train him to master them instead of shipping him off because he only learned basic skills. ESPECIALLY the magic school. You telling me this kid learned in 3 months a technique that you YEARS to develop and you didn’t immediately go “screw the skills thing, this kid is naturally gifted, I’m keeping him until he can spam mini fireballs!”
