Did I say "everyone" in my sentence? However, to asnwer your question: Yes, I can read. Matter of fact, my comment was referring to the general reaction partly here and other places such as Mangahelpers and even Tumblr since many people seem to think that Mest's issue was him telling Bradish to stab. Barely anyone here actually saif that although there was a handful.


 * Jesus Christ, August was already willing to listen to Lucy and co. and that is when you decide to have Brandish stab him? And STAB HIM? As if that was gonna work. Lol!-- Mikos3


 * Mest's plan was really dumb, they were meeting the strongest (male) mage and just a simple stab would kill him?-- Animaltamer7


 * And let's not forget Mest....I actually get it why he did that ...he thinks he sort of protecting the guild but my god, really stabbing August even though u knew he was the strongest Sprrigan and he had already agreed to cease everything and stuff...whatever floats ur boat Hiro ....u better fix everything... --Wiki Contrib.


 * Mest... well... I don't mind too much for him to actually do such an attack, but just a single stab in the belly? Not a stab through the heart or head, a stabbing frenzy or a decapitation or anything else 100% fatal, but just a regular stab in the gut that even a regular joe-average non-mage Human would survive for at least a few minutes? --NoNickNeeded (I think he was corrected)

NoNickNeeded put the actual issue with Mest's plan rather simply: "Instead of implanting Brandish with thoughts to make a sure kill-move like stabbing the heart or crushing the brain, he left her with some wishy-washy general statement that ended up making things far worse."
