There's some promise here. The teacher might have been a little too dismissive of the kid's effort in his situation, but he wasn't entirely wrong about the kid just kind of going along with what his dad wanted either. Hopefully he quickly learns some lessons about being less of a shit while out on his own.

Time for a journey of character development. Love it.

The teacher's bias was completely showing here. Sure the kid is an entitled asshole but to ignore his efforts and attribute it all to his wealth is in bad taste.

It's also interesting, if we were to see Figo's POV, we'd be rooting for Figo and also ignoring Tarte's efforts.

I'd prefer another manga like pygmalion from this author tbh. I hope he turns it into a trashy shounen manga .

 

[Serenata]

Yup the teacher was wrong in half of what he said, so what if he had rich parents, they both had the same motivation to become kings, training in expensive facilities or under a bridge with rocks is still training, in fact, as shown with his use of fire magic and swordsmanship he probably can take anyone from that class except for Figo for now (or maybe not, considering the fact that beating him could means expulsion) , saying that effort isn't his is BS, is like saying Figo's effort is all thanks to his parents too who had the tools, teachings and facilities to make what he needed.
Anyway, that aside, the fact that the protagonist is Tarte should make for a fine story with nice character development.

I like the concept, thank you for the translation.

 

[FlorianGran]

Totally feels like Figo would've been the protagonist in any other manga so making it Tarte is pretty intriguing

 

[roninren00]

This one has some potential. I'm tired of conventional protagonists like Figo, so going this direction feels fresher. Plus, I'm digging the art.

Tarte may have worked hard too but he had no drive to improve like Figo did. All he was doing was what he was taught without thinking on his own while Figo learned how to improvise and adapt, which is why he lost the fight.

I also want to put in my hat into this. It was also mention that if anyone questions or harm him in anyway, his dad would literally take everything they had and ran them out of town. So you can imagine that his instructors would tread carefully to not hurt the boy’s ego. That said there could had been some genuine attempt to train him, but again, base on the reaction from the butler during the carriage ride, he was more fearful of saying the wrong words to annoy the kid.

Fun to have a story focused on the haughty villain noble instead of on the scrappy underdog hero guy who upsets him... and it's a story focused on the ACTUAL haughty villain noble character instead of on some isekai-er who gets plopped into the body of the haughty character. It's nice to see this angle.

Also: clever for the title to call this character the underdog. I mean he IS the underdog in the sense that his upbringing didn't actually prepare him as well as the Hero character's upbringing did, but obviously socially he's the opposite of the underdog.

I feel like this could be the "Hard Worker vs Privileged Genius" story I wanted from Goku vs Vegeta but we were too busy being distracted by 3rd party adversaries for 10+ years.

Its time to become Luke von Fabre son

Double spread being so small made a lot of those pages not as impactful to me.

 

[SUPER7X]

@H_Malik Why are your pages so low resolution? Also, tag your volumes.

 

[Haru777]

Interesting.

 

[Baylordkin]

Another one of Horikoshi's assistants,might be cooking

 

[Rillant]

I have the (higher resolution) volume raws for this series. If you guys want them, dm me on discord!

 

[H_Malik]

That’s our bad, we had to shrink down our images because they breached mangadex’s limit on upload size, and accidentally made the double spreads like this. It should be fixed now

Please continue this and don’t let the other shitter groups overtake this series it’s really fun.
