I have not seen anyone address this scene. I mean Alexia straight up tried to murder an innocent guy who just rejected her advances. From her point of view Cid is not Shadow or really powerful guy just a weak loser. Despite that she still tries to kill him !!!. Wow. And this is supposed to be for laughs.

This bitch is straight up evil and needs to be locked away in a mental asylum.

This is not a Bait post this is something i found to be really disturbing. And this character down the series is supposed to be a major character and we are supposed to root for her development. I mean this jealous bitch could easily repeat this behavior in the future against any other person who just ticks her the wrong way.

She did not even apologize to Cid after fatally injuring him. Nor did she show any curiosity about how he is totally healed from that attempted murder attack. I mean in her point of view she just basically murdered him and ran away. And could have used her royalty status to cover up the attack.

Now some people will say that i hate her. So no I do not hate her and want to like her character and her growth but this the part that makes me dislike her character.

I never hated her character before this action of hers.

And her rejection by Cid was brutal in the light novel. First one middle finger, then double middle finger. Well, Seeing her immediate reaction to that I think she deserved that from Cid.

A murder is not supposed to be a gag. This just reflect on Alexia's horrible personality
They could have used anything else as a gag. Maybe have Alexia break Cid's arm. Anything else other than staright up murder. This is what i was saying in my post that the fans seem to be unconcerned by this highly disturbing action of hers.

If it was normal, they would have continued the relationship after the ordeal, or he would have rejected the relationship, and she continued to chase him. The fact she just got upset and killed him was unexpected and funny. I think that's why not one question it.

You explained that very well.

It wasn’t that “murder” is funny, as the original poster said, but the completely unexpected response, that surprised and caused laughter.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

yeah i also felt that ,,

but this is one of those shows that doesn't follow a any rule , like good or bad,,,I mean this all from mc twisted perspective,,,I just didn't care after that,,,i also felt funny too,, i don't think this was meant to be serious,,,like if she really wanted to kill him ,Cid would have done something to avoid it,, because he is npc afterall ,,he can't show that he survived from that attract,,, so this if kind of like a filler maybe ??

Is this your first time watching no anime coz let me tell you a few things:

ever heard of a character type called tsundare, yeah that's the type of character she is and its their whole to act the opposite of how they feel beat people for no reason and act like they're the victim.

And a little spoiler you'll find this in almost every anime. So good luck dealing with that.

Here are a list of things that might annoy you as well:

1) punching the Mc for no reason.
2) stabbing their for walking in accidently.
3)putting them In various arm lock.
4)breaking their bones.
5) insulting them when you actually wanna do the opposite.

They are know as troops and you'll find them in every anime.

But hey,
Don't worry about that stuff coz you'll learn to ignore them soon enough (or you'll just give up on anime altogether).

Well, welcome to the band of crazy where murder is just a gag and anything can be laughed off coz we've experienced things so much worse then this that murder just like a light snack.

You see humans have that thing in their minds that makes them happy at the suffering of others.
It's the other side the the feeling you get when your friend wins the prize that you were aiming for.

@Sayan_Pal I'm very sorry to disappoint, but I rated this anime a (6) Fine, because I really disliked most of the anime and I especially disliked he main male MC.

The best part of the first season, was the classic music from Ludwig van Beethoven, that is basically the only reason why it got a (6) Fine.

@ejleon After Alicia "murder" Cid. There was a lot of blood left behind and the next day the teacher found it. Basically it looks like a crime happened without a body. So in the episode it was mentioned as a new school wonder about a bodyless murder.

@Sayan_Pal Oh, are you telling me to drop the anime? I already watched both seasons and rated them.

I don't just watch anime I know I like, I pick anime I am interested in at the beginning of the season, then watch it all, even if I end up not liking it.

I don't like dropping anime or judging them based on a few episodes, I watch the whole season and then judge, that's fair in my opinion.

I am going to explain this as easy as possible.

Please stop telling me what I can or can’t do, when I’m not doing anything.

I never told anyone to drop it or stop watching it.

I never forced anyone to do anything on MAL.

Everyone is free to like or dislike what they want.

But I don’t need to like the anime, please recognize this.
