My conclusive review after chapter 24, I will drop this now

Read to chapter 24 and Ill drop this now.
Honestly the premise could be good and I like the art but it feels so rushed.
I came after the first episode of the Anime but couldn't stand the art style and it was kinda trashy (in a bad way).
This story could be so much getter if they developed the characters better, this feels like they took only the highlights of the story + some in betweens and went with it.
For example, that professor could've had more scenes, more scheming but instead revealed herself after a lame attempt right after that moon drinking promise, it felt so pointless. Should've kept her and not made her the obvious spy.

Ray is a war orphan and was rescued by his master, would've been better to see him down and depressed at the start of school after all those battlefield horrors he saw and then his friends made an effort to get to know him and cheer him up, then it would make sense for his mentor to be like "you changed in just 3 months"....we literally never saw the change tho! He was always cheerful and we barely saw one fight with them and that was 3 months of friendship growth?

I mean you can make the pacing faster in the later half but at the start, you want to flesh out your characters better and set a foundation so people can understand their motives through previous established traits.
It's such a disappointment.
I've stumbled across many manga because of Anime that looked trashy at first, for example:

My instant death ability is so overpowered
That one has such a simple premise but is a joy to read and takes their time with the characters journey + some background chapters

The reincarnation of the strongest exorcist in another world
Yet again, interesting story and good execution, it focuses on a few main characters and does something with them, can feel a bit rushed at times but I still love it

Both Anime of these manga are pretty decent too, the Anime for this one feels horrendous tho, it's a shame. There's probably a light novel for this and that may be the only good one to enjoy this story.
