I have a few questions. And I haven't read this in a while so forgive me of there are some gaps in my knowledge.
So, just how modern is this world? They apparently have hotels, supermarkets, elevators, and fairly modern attire. But they still use swords?
Then Ben's village still has a chief, but other towns have mayors? Maybe there's a disconnect from the rest of society because of transportation, but somehow Zephinya keeps tabs on all the twelve year-olds?
And what about mana beasts? The grey wolf seems like a wolf, but bigger. And they can be killed with basic weapons like stone knives and shovels. So why is it so improbable that Ben killed one? And why are they feared as much as they are? If you got a squad of twenty men with spears, I think you could be okay in the forests.
I want to ask about magic, but I'll wait until Ben actually develops a mana core for that.
