Hello, I hope you’re doing well! Last time I talked to you about the MC’s magic in the story seeming inconsistent, and honestly, I have mixed opinions on the new Lesson 55. I liked it, but I just hope they explain the MC’s magic more clearly because I have so many questions. For example, Solomon mentioned that the MC now has two pacts with each of the brothers, so their magic seems powerful, but it’s just protective magic, which I don’t fully understand. I thought if the MC had two pacts, their power should be doubled, right? Also, what does having two pacts actually mean? Does this give the MC more control over the brothers?
How can this even happen? I thought the explanation for this would be that the MC’s pacts are now stronger because they have a deeper connection with the brothers, with a pact that goes way back. I just hope they answer these questions in the upcoming lessons. The concept of the magic gene seems interesting, and I do hope we get more insight into the MC’s magic in these regards.
Hello again! Yes, I've had a good day. Hope you're doing well too! Sorry for taking so long to answer, it took me a while to even check lesson 55 and now we're already at 58... (spoilers warnings for the new lesson, btw)
I honestly don't know how to feel, but I do think that the explanation to MC's "magic boost" felt a little lackluster and that they could've taken a more interesting route with it. I mean, I think what they want to say is that MC is really kind and their love & care for the cast made their magic evolve specifically for the defense and protection of others, but that feels pretty meh lol. I wish there was more to it or that it was at least expanded upon and we had the chance to explore MC's character/powers more.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting the events of the other timeline to affect this one because I remembered Solomon's explanation for the timelines being different worlds where what happened in s1 of nightbringer probably wouldn't affect the original timeline?
But that doesn't seem the case seeing that the brothers are showing to straight up remember MC being there with them in the past, like Levi in the most recent lesson.
MC getting more powerful doesn't seem that strange to me though, because they did make seven new pacts with seven "new demons" if we consider the nb brothers and the og brothers different entities. But in the context of the timelines being the same or somehow intertwined it feels like it's lacking an explanation and better clarification of what's actually happening.
Maybe it'll be a thing where the og brothers and the nb ones are separate entities but the pacts MC made with the different versions of them are overlapping in a way that the nb brothers' memories are merging with the original brothers' ones and creating this weird situation where they remember MC being there in the past at the same time they remember the og timeline where MC wasn't? It's all pretty weird.
