it was pretty good one, has many unique features like the citizen live in walking cities because earth is not hospitable anymore because its too polluted and currently the only one capable living in this hostile environment being they called "Filth monsters", each City controlled by "Electronic Faires" and survived by roaming around the world and evading filth monster "Electronic fairy" has the ability to detect "Filth monsters", each cities is has different leader governing them depending on "what" city they are, for example the Zuellny is a academy city is ruled by the president of the student council and by because most of its population is consist of student while the Lance shelled city Grendan is ruled by the Queen which is the strongest of the 12 heaven Blade, the protagonist of this series is Layfon a former member of 12 heaven blade he was expelled in the city because of a crime in the beginning of the series he moved to academy city Zuellny as a general education student but due to some incident he was recruited temporally as military arts student (actually he was blackmailed by the student council president) that's pretty clique, the protagonist is strong as hell he's a literally a walking nuke and now he mixed in ordinary military arts student holding back is strength, teaming up with him and participating in military practices is cheating already basically he can even destroy the whole city and no one can stop him from doing that, the volume focus on school martial contest is insignificant to me and mostly beating around the bush, the important thing about is like its not all about strength and team play is also important and the improvement of the relationship between the members of the team and its hard to balance a story with a walking nuke characters mix in some not so powerful characters so i think the author did a good job on this one, most of the member of Layfon team is pretty strong too like the sniper Sharnind specially Felli loss Nina Antalk is quite strong too but she too hungry for power and i don't much like her characters but Layfon is out of the league, if his team mate Nina and Sharnid is around 1000-1500 and Felli 5000-10000 (her powers is quite hard to gauge because she's support) Layfon is around 100000-up and i'm not exaggerating he fight a strong filth monster with insane regeneration power together with two other heaven blade for 3 straight day's without rest while spamming high level techniques capable of dealing fatal damage to mature filth monster and injured too, and remember the fact that he's not even using Katana as weapon his technique psyharden suppose to use katana as weapon, it only mean that he is not still unleashing the his full potential yet, its pretty crazy to measure member of "heaven blades" strength i only brought it up to show their difference in strength between Layfon and other ordinary characters.
as for action and fantasy this Light Novel really stand but out as for others like drama and romance... i will said it straight Layfon has a poor choice in women the reason Nina Antalk, the good side about Nina is her guts and in will go gets stronger (i don't how how to put it in word for now) i don't find her cute at all, i think the other girls suite him better like his childhood friend know him better than anyone else, Mayshen Torinden can take care of him she cooks really well, give him peace of mind whenever he's on trouble, she's also cute timid character and Felli Loss understand his pain and they have same circumstance for being use because of their power and ability she also much cuter and beautiful than Nina in many level. not finish and still under construction
