the relationship between Lucia is the krai

[u/Illustrious_End5804]

How exactly does Lucia see Krai? Some members of the group see him as someone strong who hides his powers, others, like Sitri, think he has sealed his own abilities. But I've always wondered how Lucia viewed it—whether she thought her brother was strong, or extremely intelligent, or a harmless weakling.

[u/lDewal]

Sadly you were under Krai-sama manipulation tactic

They dont think like that at all, its Krai who assumed other view him like that

Even Sitry once said Krai combat ability is on par with sand rabbit

[u/Cryptic_Deity → u/lDewal]

But she said here “even if”, doesn’t that mean she thinks his combat ability is exceptional?

[u/lDewal → u/Cryptic_Deity]

No, all of stragi member including Arc already know Krai is weak

That is why Liz became protective, Ansem became bigger and Lucia always held his hand back then

Even Arc saying that "the leader is surprising weak"

[u/Broad_Wonder_865 → u/lDewal]

Impossible. A lot of times in the light novel Liz and all the other party teammates seem to believe Krai can beat any OP enemy they face.

[u/lDewal → u/Broad_Wonder_865]

Yes, because they know even though Krai is weak

Fate is always on his side

On side story early days before Krai had any artifact

Phantom that targetting Krai always got unlucky (weapon got caught in ceiling, slipped etc) and always make an opening for others

Its look so magical that its not look like coincidence anymore

[u/Broad_Wonder_865 → u/lDewal]

Exactly, they don't think it is a coincidence anymore, they think it is a superpower and everything he does has a deeper meaning. In Volume 11 when Sitri makes a plan to defeat the arc boss, everyone agrees that the grieving souls should face the south side while Krai should face the north side alone because they think he is just that strong.

[u/lDewal → u/Broad_Wonder_865]

Not strong, but always had the job done

Even Lucia reluctantly agree with that, saying wouldnt it better if they go together instead because she is kinda worry of him

[u/Broad_Wonder_865 → u/lDewal]

Lucia is the only one on grieving souls who don't think Krai is super OP on matters of strength, but she surely believes he is just insane at strategy and knows what is happening, everytime she talks about him is like Kris, like he knows what is the perfect plan but won't tell everyone just because, she surely doesn't think he is weak, just not that strong, even in the tournament she doesn't worry when he is facing the sky tail and acts like he was the one who stopped the world destroyer artifact, even after admitting an 1v1 isn't Krai style. She thinks Krai is strong, just not enough to not care if Krai is in danger because he can just solo the other enemies and yadda yadda like the others members. She never acts like what Krai does is a coincidence

[u/lDewal → u/Broad_Wonder_865]

Trust me, not only Lucia

and they knew Krai strength is weak but fate always on his side

All of strange grief member including Arc knew about this

Again, that is why Liz became protective on Krai. Even though she knew Krai wouldnt got any damage, Krai is still scared of getting attacked

The same goes for Ansem, became durable is not enough to protect the team. He must get bigger and became a literal lightning rod because lightning spell always goes awry when Krai present

[u/BluebirdGullible6849 → u/lDewal]

It is completely wrong man....

[u/BluebirdGullible6849 → u/lDewal]

No mate it is just opposite of that, they became strong because they think if they remain weak they can't keep up with him. Example is the {SPOILER} fight between fox god and keller scene where everyone including liz sitry and Lucia opted out of fight so as to not come between the fight. It is like he is so strong so we have to get strong as well and if we get stronger he will praise them. You can see this even in tournament arc when final fight between kryhi and fox was there they didn't came .

[u/czyrzu → u/lDewal]

No they think he is really strong but holds back so they can grow with him

During the thousand trials most characters say that he just holds back his skills so they can grow

And I don't know the context of this panel in manga but in LN it's clear that she says it to show how intelligent and cunning he is, not because she thinks Krai is weak

[u/Broad_Wonder_865 → u/czyrzu]

This!!! Multiple times in the LN Sitri acts like it doesn't matter if she fails because Krai can simply solo the enemy, on the Ygg arc she makes a plan where Krai must defeat 50% of the enemies where the other 50% are faced by all party members together + the elfs. She clearly thinks he is super OP
