My opponent got thrown halfway across the stadium. Nothing sus. All me.The thing is, some people actually deny things that are happening right before their eyes IRL. It is actually in fiction where people behave generally smarter than normal. It's just that the audience gets annoyed by stupid actions because they expect better from characters in stories or the creator.
It was extremely obvious to me that the nobles chose to be oblivious.
Like, so obvious, that it was hardly necessary for them to actually point it out, yet they (Bow and Sword) even did that... so I'm not quite sure what you guys are saying right now?
There was absolutely nothing "unbelievable" (at least not in this context) about what happened because this is basically just them bullying/harassing/mobbing him.
The only dudes who did not go for this crap were the Sword and Bow... obviously because they don't have to fear the king or anyone in general... and are less fanatic about the whole thing in the first place. The audience was basically "the king and his puppets/clique"... not some righteous noblemen that would stand up for the weak and ugly. Even if some of them would actually stand up for the Shield, they would do so in secret to not lose power/wealth/connections/whatever. Considering how that country views the shield hero however, it's doubtful that they'll even care.
It's far more likely that they would not consider this duel won by Naofumi, even if he would have won by normal standards.
So basically, it being "unfair" was exactly what has happened. That's what this "show" disguised as a "duel" was all about. The very basic setup, a spear vs shield, is unwinable for the shield from the start, he has no offensive power - the best he could hope for with no cheats would be a draw.
So.... the spear is @ 43... Naofumi is at 21(?) poor guy. Impressive defense stats when he can hold up against a 20+ lvl difference though!

I still play this one MMORPG called Priston Tale. There is a class called Mechanician and it's basically a tank class.
Mind you, all classes can wear shields but not all can tank. The Mechanician class is a lot like Naofumi in that the defensive stats are off the charts and even the defensive skills make an already tank class even more of a tank. In PvP, their damage is not great but cause other classes can barely harm them aside from the lame pike class (Scythes and Spears), the Mechanician class just has to tank and take away the other player HP one attack at a time and eventually win.
I am kind of seeing Naofumi as a Mechanician class lol.
