Not going to lie. Starting to get bored reading about 12-13 year olds and their school problems. Even this "action" is lackluster. What is Lith going to do? Beat them up? Kill them? Show them how much better he is? It all seems so phony and unimportant, just like real school is in this age group. I guess you got that aspect nailed down pretty well.
Dumbasses digging their own grave ... Honestly when the foundation is bad no matter how much resources you pour to improve the building it will still fall only way is to completely demolish it and rebuild it from scratch ... Hopefully Lith can somehow cram all the knowledge of the academy and flee the country to a better one where talent matters not the background while the country gets engulfed in chaos
Cant make outside development too fast. The mc and his friends need first learn all basic before school and country falls apart. But this sort of separation between nobels (even if they have mages) and powerful lowly mages do seem to smell like war. If tier 1 magic is widly used by commoners and nobles dont learn it as children - lowly mages have an edge as war magea. Its more of a question that why it has been so peaceful before.
How to set a country on a course that only ends in all families getting executed by either the royal family for treason or the "general" populace (the "lowclass" wizards) *facepalm* its just so stupid, they even help their rival countries with **** like that... And the royal family (or only the queen) is doing something about it... Cant wait how this arc will turn out :/ hopefully it will not end in alot of tears and a totally broken lith, if that happens... He will turn everything upside down to get everyone possible >~<
