I know a lot of people are on Maxis side cause they want her to girlboss, but I need yall to be realistic for a second because the story very much is. Unlike some story's with girlboss FLs, Maxi is very capable of getting hurt and the story isn't afraid *to* hurt her. She's only been learning magic for what, 6 months? A year at most? She's capable but not experienced and has a low constitution, and the story hasn't ever really shied away from showing the consequences of it.
That's not to say she should NEVER be able to go on expeditions like this, I just think that Riftan thinks it happened too soon. I mean she jumped right from helping heal knights in the castle to being a central mage on a dangerous mission. It's honestly MORE logical to be against it, and while Riftan is definitely overprotective and was shi*** for *why* he said what he did last chapter, he's not exactly WRONG about being concerned. If anything I feel like Maxis a bit *under*-concerned due to wanting to prove herself.
It's like if you first started playing football in January and then suddenly decided to play in a game against NFL players.
