The Eminence in Shadow: Speed adjustments.

Most characters scales to this calculation: Akane cutting a bullet.

The problem with this is that the scene is entirely Manga-only. While it doesn't contradict the original work, our current standards don't allow us to use adaptation-only scene unless they follow this:

Regarding Adaptations​

Author approval alone does not confer canonical status upon adaptations. Such material is considered part of the primary continuity only when the creator or rights holders explicitly confirm its integration into, or priority over, the original timeline—for instance, through statements verifying that specific events, scenes, or elements genuinely occur within it (e.g., "These scenes originate from material in my notes that was omitted from the initial release but belongs in the core story.") Mere involvement, minor supervision, general praise, or characterizations of the work as a "faithful adaptation" remain insufficient to establish new content as official canon; all determinations continue to be made on a case-by-case basis, with these criteria serving as guidelines rather than an exhaustive standard.

This is the statement that was used to prove the manga is canon, before this new standard. Now it no longer does it. It's also worth mentioning that Akane cutting a bullet was the only feat that scaled characters to Transonic/Supersonic, so it has nothing else supporting it. This excludes the likes of Cid who have their own mach statements, but they don't apply to who scaled to the calc in question.

The solution is to remove the calc and use this new one instead. (Mind that only the first feat was accepted)

The new calc scales Millia (doesn't have a profile right now) to 167.64 m/s (Subsonic)

Just to confirm but the scene happens in the LN, and the manga is used solely for measurements, which is allowed by our canonicity standards:
  • Entirely new feats of tertiary canon, like for example new abilities, should be disregarded. Details added to existing fight scenes, such as damage caused to the surroundings, can be accepted for text based media like books.

I think it's safe to say Iris (who also lack profile) is faster than Millia. Shown here. And thus she should upscale the calc to 171.5 m/s (Subsonic+). Just 4 m/s above the calc value, so I believe it's fair.

Excluding outdated profile, which I'll have to redo anyway, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, and Eta, will be downgraded from Supersonic to Subsonic+, with the justification reflecting they scale or are stronger than Iris, who's faster than Millia, whose speed is calced.

I'll also slide in two straightforward upgrades.

This calc was accepted. First, the same exact scene happens in the LN, so it's all good, it just add damage. Now, the calc is 35 MJ, yet Alexia couldn't completely block it, in fact her sword was destroyed but she still was fine enough, if the difference in strength was allat she would have been dead, or at least heavily damaged. I suggest having her downscale from 35 MJ to 20 MJ, which is baseline Small Building level, instead of making her scale to the full value.

In the last CRT, I forgot to add to Alpha an higher range with IAA. Based on this background, she should have:
Hundreds of Meters: 100 - 1,000 m
Cause it's still smaller than the city around, which is the next tier.
 
The scan showing the full scene doesn't seem to work.
I replaced it. But it's just the fight shown in the manga, the rating comes from "the giant is big Y so he has to move X fast" with it fighting/blitzing superhuman enhanced knights to support it. So there's not really a "feat" other than it's own measurements.

Here's the scans regardless.

There's also Iris outspeeding him, proving high-tiers scale above said speed.

Also, thanks for checking.
