Talk:Hakurou/@comment-26144500-20190929194119

So, here's a question for people who have read the LN in Japanese, will Hakuro be left behind by his students and just be relegated to the background like in the WN, or does he have more screentime in the LN version?

I heard that even Carrion evolved into a True Demon Lord in the latest volume(15) and that none of the Tempest executive fought in the Tempest Tournement arc, which in turn means that maybe we don't see Hakurou being beaten in swordsmanship by Shion in the LN, that maybe that has been changed in the LN version (with her not having surpassed him yet in terms of pure swordsmanship).

So, does he becomes just a background character in the LN or is does he get stronger?

I personally always felt it weird how little he evolved from Rimuru's evolutions(such as the True Demon Lord and True Dragon-like ones), with him still having pretty low magicules count compared to the others at the top under Rimuru.
