I consider this quite the improvement over the original. The author clipped away a lot of the info dumping that happened early on in the story and expanded a lot more upon the training process of the first 3 disciples of the MC we're introduced to as well as the Yugrasia students.I've seen some people complain about the new added content for the Yugrasia arc being "filler", but I can't disagree more. The only character (not characters) that ever got any development in the original version was the student council president himself, while all the other students and teachers were barely there. Even Aris, who was supposed to be trumpeted as one of Yugrasia's major players, was barely more than a bit player in the original. I can't help but see these complaints as simply being impatience towards getting to something "new" (despite all this "filler" actually being new content as well) rather than proper critique towards the quality of the story, since I can only see all this as an improvement due to the added depth given to characters aside from the one guy this arc focused on completely originally.The original tried to rush the development of new characters during the actual school festival portion of the story, but it was all too last minute and I can understand if that was the reason why the author chose to redo things during this part of the story.
