“He asked me to get everyone to relax first. He said it’d be harder for you all to talk with him around, so he wanted me to give some advice as a teacher.”
He knows that they will be nervous, but he doesn't know why they may be nervous. what is going on...
Well, two things:
That doesn't say he knows they'll be nervous, just that they can't relax. He's always been aware that his status as upjumped commoner causes troubles, especially when interacting with Beltrum folks; even moreso now that they know he's an orphan they used to know. He's already seen people like Elise before (e.g. when Stewart raised the problem), and they were obviously uncomfortable, so even if he doesn't know why, he might be just generalising from prior experience.@Zgriptsuroica said in Seirei Gensouki Vol. 27 Discussion!:
I do wonder how Rio's Harem Protagonist skills are going to pan out in the end, considering he has an effective cap on how big the harem can be
I'm sure we'll do away with that issue soon enough. We've already eliminated it as long as he stays in Galtuuk thanks to Lina's barrier.
Even otherwise, there are paths to exceptions. If Satsuki can also be recognised as a Transcendent One by achieving "oneness" or whatever with the spirit locked away in her (just like how Erica was recognised as a Transcendent One), then she'll also be exempted from the rules, and might be able to take her own disciples. Same with Masato (and I suppose Hiroyuki, though I doubt he'd be willing to donate his disciple slots for Rio's purposes). Similarly, if Miharu can somehow "inherit" Lina's exception to being wiped, she'll be exempt (though you already called that out as a possibility).
Lastly, I think you forgot about Aisha... though maybe she doesn't count as part of the harem in your view since she's soul-bonded or whatever?
