Alderamin on the Sky	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In a World… where everyone is partnered with a small elemental spirit, the Katvarna Empire wages an unending war with the neighboring Republic of Kioka. The 17-years old Yatorishino Igsem, the scion of the most loyal to the Imperial House noble family, is about to embark on a ship in order to take the High Grade Military Officer Exam. Accompanying her is Ikta Solork - a lazy, loudmouthed lecher. Despite being an complete opposite to the diligent and noble Yatori, they form an unbeatable duo, as under his coarse face, Ikta hides the mind of a tactical genius... though he hates war and wants nothing more than to land a cozy job as a librarian. Due to certain circumstances, however, he grudgingly also aims to take the exam alongside his friend.On the cruise heading towards the examination site, they meet three other test takers - the handsome but modest Torway Remeon, ambitious Matthew Tetdrich, and aspiring medic Haroma Bekker. They don't get to mingle for long, as their ship is hit by a raging storm. While evacuating, Ikta spots a young girl being thrown overboard by the waves. He jumps into the sea to rescue her and bring her back to the lifeboat. The 6 of them are left stranded, but that's not the worst of it - they quickly figure out that they landed behind the Kioka's borders and the girl Ikta risked his life to save? She's Chamille Kitra Katjvanmaninik, Katvarna's 3rd princess, making this whole situation that much more complicated.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })At this time, no one could've predicted that this would trigger a series of events with would force Ikta to survive in a world engulfed in war with his superior intellect... and, in turn, earn his place in the Katvarna Empire's history as the legendary "Lazy Invincible General".Alderamin on the Sky (org.

Alderamin on the Sky / int_1237828f	type	Anyone Can Die
Alderamin on the Sky / int_1237828f	comment	Anyone Can Die: Due to the war themes, the series does rack up a body count, especially of secondary characters the series provides some depth to before they meet their end. Eventually, it is proven not even main characters are safe after Yatori's death at the end of Volume Seven of the Light Novel.

He stated it would be smarter for the army to retreat because it was only a matter of time before they fell at this rate, and he is proven right by the end of the episode.

Alderamin on the Sky / int_45de345c	comment	The Peter Principle: The relationship between the local governors and the regional military commanders is twisted, corrupt, and incestuous. Regional governors are appointed by the military from among their ranks, and the higher ranked soldiers are appointed by the governor. To the surprise of very few, this puts both sides so far out of their competence zone that it's amazing the Empire hasn't completely imploded already. Woe be to any who complain though. At best, they will never get any recognition or merits. At worst, they'll be given an order to commit suicide at the sword of the enemy, and have their name live in ignominy for all time...

Alderamin on the Sky / int_5e5cf652	comment	Go, Ye Heroes, Go and Die: While the Empire tends to put the most incompetent, arrogant, and corrupt officials in the higher ranks, and far from the battlefield (although some of them get cocky enough to think they're invincible and take to the lead, going through their loyal soldiers like water by using them as meat-shields while they go full on Leeroy Jenkins), they see nothing wrong with giving their competent, skilled, and most talented commanders and troops impossible orders, putting them in exceptionally dangerous, and often easily avoidable situations, or basically ordering them to commit suicide at the sword of the enemy, and if they disobey, executing them, as Ikta can testify about his father. It's gotten so bad Princess Camille outright orders Ikta to become head of the entire army and then lose a major war without losing the actual talent to clean the corruption out.

The norm in the Empire, since the victory of The Three Great Families some time in the past, is nobles, regional governors, etc. shoving all the administrative work unto the military while living in comfort, yet happily throwing their weight around when it suits them. The only reason commoners don't take up arms against the aristocrats running their districts into the ground is because they never expected anything from aristocrats in the first place.

They will accept Katvarnian refugees, are more technologically advanced and are open-minded to most of Dr. Aranai's research. On the contrary, the Katvarna Empire bans any sort of scientific discovery as "blasphemy" and will use both military successes, and failures to cover up their political and management failures, often sacrificing their best commanders by putting them in unwinnable situations to divert public outrage from themselves and unto enemy nations.

This is especially notable, considering his unrelenting skirt-chasing. Not to mention Yatori had caught him fooling around many times in the novel and doesn't even bat an eyelash. Her usual reaction is that of a disappointed older sister upon discovering said act. Then again, Ikta has a thing for married women, widowers or older-women in general. On the other hand, Ikta and Yatori did have a long and serious conversation about having a child together. Though Ikta refused to go through with it.
