Alderamin on the Sky

[Kraco]

Becoming a good fighter and being smart, logical, capable of strategy aren't mutually exclusive despite how much time one spends polishing one over the other.

Right, of course not. But becoming a fighter like her is impossible, even if one excluded everything else. That's why making her a really one-sided (unnaturally in realistic terms) character would be a balancing act.

It's a fantasy story, all's good.

It kind of makes Ikta's masterful planning and stratagems meaningless if there are inhuman killing machines that could single-handedly destroy enemy platoons.

I'm only interested in keeping this story enjoyable, not the whole fantasy genre.

You know, to exaggerate a little, what good was Ikta's brilliant first plot in the show, to get the group back to the empire using the scheme with the hot air balloon, if Yatori could have simply slaughtered every enemy soldier at the border post instead, allowing them to pass just as easily and even keep their gear? With Ikta's plan there was still a high chance of something going wrong as it really relied on the opponent making a hasty decision under stress, but with Yatori simply killing everybody, nothing could have gone wrong since there wouldn't have been an enemy left standing.

See what I mean?

Not going to overthink it as the whole balloon plan was stupid in the first place.
