Because they are? In the first place Akatsuki is an assassin, so she shouldn't be stronger on the open field than more regular fighting classes. Her strength would be, surprise surprise, striking from the shadows when the opponent expects it the least. Assassins apparently can one-hit kill very high level opponents when they pull it off successfully. But to balance it out, they shouldn't be able to beat a tank face to face in a fair fight. This is also the problem I had with this training: While it no doubt otherwise was useful for Akatsuki, it shouldn't be the easiest way for her to achieve a Teaching, because nothing she did here would grant her an assassin's Teaching, and one would think that's what an assassin ought to gain first and the easiest.Originally Posted by MFauli
In the second place Akatsuki really hasn't been doing much fighting during the time the players have been trapped in this world. Not nearly as much as the fighting guilds folks who have been slaying monsters left and right, raiding bosses and slaying goblin armies. Akatsuki only wants to stick close to Shiroe and Shiroe wants to weave his nefarious plans in the shadows. Like I said earlier, now that Shiroe purposefully left Akatsuki behind, she should have seized the opportunity and joined some gang temporarily to go out on raids and whatnot. Instead she was drinking tea and eating cakes with the princess. That only makes her fat, not strong.
