2026-01-22 21:11:33 +0000 UTCIt would be interesting to see a sympathetic one help him deal with navigating noble politics. Reputation can be a great shield if you can make use of it, Kai is just avoiding it and so makes himself a target

2025-12-16 21:03:06 +0000 UTCHopefully, we'll get at least one redemption arc from the various arrogant nobles Kai is subjected to in the Academy. Who else wants a 1-on-1 with the 3rd ranked and then a 1-on-2 with the others?

2025-12-12 11:24:21 +0000 UTCCalling Ambrose as the rival. Sounds like a jackass to me - maybe he'll get slammed with some Doors of Stone.

2025-12-12 04:02:49 +0000 UTCI like Professor Valdibal. I keep expecting him to shout 'Constant Vigilance!'

2025-12-12 01:11:32 +0000 UTCI'm calling it now, we're about to be introduced to Isadora, Ambrose, and Elmen. One of the three will actually be really cool and at least one will develop a rivalry with Kai from here. This is the top 10 list. .1. Matthew Reece Veernon – Mana Studies (n. 732) 2. Alden Blackwoods – Mana Studies (n. 712) 3. Sebastian Elcarin – Mana Studies (n. 684) 4. Elmen Dusk – Mana Studies (n. 668) 5. Rain Ryuu – Mana Studies (n. 652) 6. Evangeline Rondes – Martial Studies (n. 613) 7. Isadora Forlow – Mana Studies (n. 579) 8. Lydia Porter – Mana Studies (n. 552) 9. Arabella Graysmith – Artisan Studies (n. 544) 10. Ambrose Willow – Mana Studies (n. 518)

2025-12-12 00:52:57 +0000 UTCI wonder if they all end up trying to chant and lose because of it then we find out Jolene had this professor do this to break Kai out of his desire for chanting.

2025-12-11 23:51:35 +0000 UTCIsn't Ambrose a boy name?

2025-12-11 23:42:36 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter! I don't care what people say, I'll always find joy in Kai beating up these stuck-up nobles 😂. Also I just looked at the top 10 and there's someone with the same surname as the noble that Kai just beat... coincidence? 🤔
An Than
2025-12-11 23:41:17 +0000 UTCI wonder which of the top 3 Kai will fight. Rain (5) and Alden (2) are in different classes, 6 is in Martial studies and 9 is in Artisan studies, but that does leave 3, 4, 7, 8, and 10. Probably not going to be 3 or 4 due to future smackdown reserves so I am betting on 7, 8, and 10. Also, I just noticed in the ch 362 top 10 list that name wise it looks like 1-5 is all guys and 6-10 is all gals.

2025-12-11 23:37:47 +0000 UTCI like it. The prof has to get it through the kids' heads that they suck at combat, nobles in particular. So he likes finding a kid that's been through shit and using them as a tool- harder to tell yourself your Yellow classmate set things up to bully you. In walks the commoner 1st ranker who ate a spider den for breakfast. No social Skill. Almost like he got to yellow by surviving dangers. Prof: Is for me?

2025-12-11 22:58:23 +0000 UTCIt’s kinda fun when Kai wipes the floor with them.

2025-12-11 22:58:21 +0000 UTCI love how he only gets annoyed when someone brings up his height 😂😂
Austin
2025-12-11 22:57:52 +0000 UTCI hope Kai wins against other top rankers.
Jon
2025-12-11 22:57:48 +0000 UTCOn one hand I sympathize with Kai. On the other hand what did he think would happen in a class where you need to be dueling your peers? His name was obviously going to come up
Gromaul
2025-12-11 22:55:02 +0000 UTCHow much did the professor get paid by the nobility to engineer such a situation, I wonder?

2025-12-11 22:25:36 +0000 UTCAgreed. I expect the author meant something like been provided with a sparring unform or perhaps a pair of sparring uniforms, but his thoughts out paces what he actually typed. I am not sure what the fitting refers to, perhaps mispelled fighting or there is a missing loosely so it could mean been provided with a loosely fitting sparring uniform or been provided with a pair of loosely fitting sparring uniforms.

2025-12-11 21:59:42 +0000 UTCThe arrogant noble trope was a bit over the top :D
Calle
2025-12-11 21:51:18 +0000 UTCI assume they're in this class at another time of the day. I doubt all 1000 or however many it is are in this one period of time.
Doug Wills
2025-12-11 21:50:28 +0000 UTC"...provided with a pair of wear for fitting sparring.” I might be missing something but this sentence makes no sense to me. I gather from what follows that they were essentially given a magic PE kit but the sentence itself makes no sense.

2025-12-11 21:50:01 +0000 UTCI don't think the teacher doesn't like him, he's just using him as a prop to hammer home his point. He was just as harsh to the nobles as he was Kai. And his class mates are jealous, we haven't actually seen the reactions of the other top performers to him but I imagine most of the middle of the pack nobles are feeling jealous. Plus they're all mages, they aren't in a combat course, I'd be surprised if more than a couple had ever been in an actual fight
Thomas Todd
2025-12-11 21:48:09 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter. Good to see Kai can accept the reason for being called out. The professor wants the students, including the aristocratic idiots like Forlow, to internalize the need for combat skills and to get them to realise that if they weren't in the top ten, they really have room for improvement. The interesting question is where are the rest of the top ten finishers if this is a mandatory class.

2025-12-11 21:40:43 +0000 UTCDon’t love the “teachers hate him for being a commoner and all his classmates do too and they’re all incompetent” trope. It feels too easy for Kai at this point and it has for a while. Anybody that isn’t Rain or an heir from one of the major noble families is fodder
