It was alright, disclaimer I did forgot some bits of this, I got bored of this it felt like a choir to keep reading so I dropped it at chapter 15, the art was good I've seen better but that doesn't mean it was bad, the story was also alright it wasn't amazing it just kinda felt like a short story, it probably would've been better if it had more chapters and had other things happening that weren't just about the  main villains, the character's were not that good but also not terrible it would of been better if they had more time to develop, pacifically the main characters the story just starts at when he needs to guard the princess there's no background information, or about him becoming powerful just starts randomly.

In short it is a story of a shota protagonist who is OP and also badass.He is working as undercover bodygaurd for a haughty sword princess in the academy by acting as a temporary academy instructor to protect her from some infamous assasin groups who are targeting her.The sword princess's father was killed by some unknown random dude that she don't remember as she was small.In order to take revenge she resolved to be strong and demanded guidance from the mc as he is stronger than her. The story is straightforward but has some cool action scenes. So it is a good try.

I very much enjoyed this, from the first chapter to the last. There are aspects that could've been improved upon (such as the training and classroom segments), but the overall narrative was well put together. The pacing is good, the characters are engaging and lovable, and the fight scenes are very well drawn. I like the confidence and lack of panic that Alta exudes. Most importantly, Alta isn't always perfect. Fe gets outwitted by Iris and doesn't immediately notice Aria's presence. But Alta is able to roll with the punches and respond in a way that feels both humble and self-assured, and fe always seems to prioritize treating others with respect and mature kindness rather than trying to promote femself. I also very much appreciated how the story had a very clear purpose to it, how there weren't new opponents thrown in partway through just to extend the plot and add extra fight scenes. The enemy group that we see in the beginning (ch. 2) is the enemy group that we see in the end. The members of that group that we learn about early on (ch. 4) are the entirety of the opponents which Alta and others end up fighting. No new enemies thrown in. And I really like that. It feels very structured and gives the story a clear arc. This also allowed for each of the four main opponents to have vastly unique fighting styles and techniques, which helped make the fights more interesting. The allies also have unique fighting styles, which also helps.
