He obviously aced it. Sigh. Is this a trope or a cliche. I don’t really care at this point.

@Kisato
Why wouldn't he? I'm mean his mental age is that of an adult.

I don't get why you're even reading this if you're so afraid of tropes and cliches. My recommendation is go read shoujo manga. It should give you something new.

Thanks. Looking forward to the next update.

@vza004
Isn't shoujo manga full of tropes and cliches? In a different sense, I mean.
On another note, LH strikes again with their bad...never mind...
Thanks for the chapter.

@Ringz
Exactly. Different tropes and cliches.

Sure there are a lot of cliche in these kinds of mangas, but I recommend trying to ignore them, or make some kind of headcanon for why it might be that way.
Like math for example, if its easy numeric questions, we would usually come ahead, though in the later ages, we would perhaps be beaten by the apprentices who specialise in math "science".

I am very excited?

I'm kinda disappointed with his complete apathy and lack of trauma related to the torture he suffered.

@Hoezell
He lived in the slums, I would assume that he has built resistance to rough treatment.

Is the mangaka just bad at representing human emotions or are people so used to it that they just ignore the torture he received? I understand some people wouldn't care about a slum kid being tortured, but there's not even one sensible person that thinks it was a little too much?

And even the MC not feeling some anger or something afterwards. He felt it when his mother died but just kinda ignored his own torture.

I think he's just biding his time in regards to the torture. He's gonna meet that guy again and I hope it will be spectacular

Noice

Trouble flags were raised over the cute teacher's head. Hopefully nothing too awful will come of it.

The MC does not appear to be taking the path of the Edgelord and instead is going the path of the Martyr.

The story is not well defining his reason for being so willing to turn the other cheek.
He could be very against using force due to his martial training in his previous life which involved 'killing techniques' or something, but that is a guess of mine.

"His grade went up because a private lesson with sensei"
Hey that sounds so wrong. I guess this is some exception when teacher fall in love with a student(according to LN).

He have a sociopath feel about him, his indifference for his torture and the death of that girl in the slums, isn't it a deal of having a adult mentality, it is a disregard for what happened, not that I don't like it, on the contrary, having the comprehension about this make it even more interesting, because sociopaths can be fully functional, but they have a 'breaking point'.

Or the autor straight up is shitty at writing a development that involves getting falsely accused, tortured, bullied, 'kidnapped' (since he was forcefully taken to the castle and the school) , and so on.
@edit
So, I went and read the other manga, that have 3 chapters... Dude, what. the. fuck. It is massively better. The torture is fast and he doesn't take such a huge beating, the person whom takes him to the castle is another and makes A LOT more of sense. I don't know why the quality in the story dropped in this version, but, if I need to read other work to understand a non-sequel, then, you did a bad job.

@perfectdeath he is japanese, being martyr is second nature to them.

Most of these characters have a spectacularly punchable face.

MC emberrassing this rich edge lords made this a satisfying manga so far

I think it should be the time for him to wreck some royal assholes or he's just wanna laying low?
