Transcension Academy - Chapter 38

After this chapter, this manhwa gains 5/5 from me. It’s exactly the part that some manga(manhwa, manhua) lack, the development of character and reasonable growth.
His fight was to win, but no to win, he fought more with himself and the barriers within, than with his opponent, but still with his opponent, the battle was an actual exchange of pointers (instead of half-mindless stick swinging, however exquisite stick swings are).
Moreover, it was really good philosophy that is actually useful in our life, you know?
When you learn something you must not simply remember it, but adapt to your needs.
When you do something, it is okay to fail, because no one is perfect, what matters is whether you grew when doing that.
The “genius magician” was overly prideful, thinking she’s perfect, blaming her loss on circumstances.
The ‘swordsman” was overconcerned with his pride, how others view him, and based his self-esteem on beating others.
But the actual path is to strive to improve, to learn and do your best. It is okay if you fail, as long as you did your best. It is okay if you are second or third, as long as you learned something from it.
Mc beats opponents using them as stepping stone not only honing his battle skills, but actually growing above their way of thinking.
“pest-hating predator” red-haired guy, “we-live-in-man-eats-man” girl from east academy, this trio of oh-so-cool cadets with their mental problems…
Damn, I’m very impressed. Although it’s not something really new, the “I do my best to win, so it fine to lose” mindset is something many people need to not break mentally in these hard days.
phew.
