"While I agree shooting him in the foot was a bit much the wound could hardly be called grievous. Were this a normal place certainly it would be, but here we have specialists in healing magic who could certainly heal that wound without issue. Frankly a shot in the foot while not in active combat here is comparable to a scrape among non-demigods.
Frankly I'm also not a fan of having magic lorded over people as if it makes us all worthless. My argument against bow training is that it isn't useless, it just takes longer for most demigods to become proficient with a bow than it does a gun and the bow's main draw now is that it is a truly silent ranged weapon. Certainly useful still, but in a much more limited capacity. My summation is that both parties were in the wrong, and if the blame does shift more to one side than the other it likely isn't by much." Johnny chimed in before taking a drink of tea.
"It would be wonderful if disparate demigods could come together without fighting. But no society, not even that of heaven was without strife. The trick is to use that strife to find novel ways forward that our opponents would never expect. Their peace within themselves will make them begin to think in similar ways. Our infighting, properly utilized, can make us an unpredictable and innovative enemy that they will be unable to defeat using the traditional methods of war."
