Synopsis:
Seiichi has finally begun his full-fledged teaching life at the magic academy. However, the F class he is in charge of consists solely of students with quirks and multiple issues. Above all, they are burdened with the handicap of being unable to use magic and are treated as inferior students. For starters, Seiichi uses his inherent cheat-like abilities to teach them magic. But during the inter-school competition, will the lowest-ranked rise in rebellion, turning the tables on the rest? Set in a magic academy swirling with conspiracies, this is the eagerly anticipated 6th installment of the popular series! (Source: Hanashi Media)
Failures and the Clash of Classes!
An Underdog Story
Settling down as a teacher, my latest review follows Seiichi’s latest misadventures as he starts to stir up a whole host of chaos at the world-famous magic academy.
Reaching its sixth volume, the series turns to parodying the tale of the underdog. As Seiichi is hired as the latest member of the magic academy’s faculty, his job is to see the failures of Class F turned from zeroes to heroes. In classic Fruit of Evolution fashion, however, things don’t go to plan as Seiichi’s overpowered abilities sees his class forgo a training arc to becoming some of the strongest students in the entire school.
This weak-to-strong development for Class F comes just in time, as coinciding with Seiichi’s arrival is the clash of classes, the academy’s very own tournament. Just as the name suggests, the tournament pits different classes against each other in a test of magical ability. This latest competition also has a special meaning for Class F due to Class S’s constant insults and abuse.
What follows is almost a flash-forward through the climax sequences of an underdog story as years of trauma between the classes are hilariously wiped away almost instantly. With their newfound abilities, the members of Class F absolutely trounce the horrors of Class S.
Seiichi’s a Dead Man
For the volume’s climax, the end of the tournament is disrupted by a high-ranking Cult of the Wicked One member. An uncharacteristically strong (and creepy) opponent for this series, he easily cuts through members of Seiichi’s harem. Even Seiichi himself has problems, only escaping through “death.”
The final moments of the volume set the scene for one of my own personal least favourite tropes in isekai, a protagonist separated from the usual cast of characters. Thankfully, Seiichi’s time in the underworld looks to be short-lived as a fight with Phantasmal King seems to be just around the corner.
To conclude, The Fruit of Evolution’s latest foray into parodying an underdog story makes for a fun addition to this slapstick series.
As Seiichi continues to make monsters out of everyone he teaches, the end of this volume sees the series reach a new changing point. Now a member of the underworld, there are sure to be fresh challenges ahead for this former fatty.
