Mr. Author. Others things aside I would like to draw your attention to the society you describe in this chapter, it’s already written and for a hobbist-young writter, decent enough. You described how people are prodigy or trash, no society or individual is like that, even if it’s militaristic-based and strength is valued highly. Look at Sparta or nomadic tribes for example and educate yourself how society trives, because if it’s not growing, someone will overtake it. There are no “trash”, even those with no talent have their usage in a society, no matter how low they go. In a modern day you also have 100 non-combat specialists in the army, and 1,000 outside of it for every soldier you have. You can describe the military as the elite of the nation and only militaristic schools to be the road for high government positions, so even louzy military school is a better choice then elite fashion, but you cannot have a nation of which 99% are martial artists and nobody take care of their needs. Keep those in mind in your future work. The closer you are to realistic representation to our own world, the easier it will be for thereaders to understand differences with less explanation.
