Academy’s Second Seat아카데미 차석이 되었다

It is just an another average novel that you have dropped at some point. A dense protagonist surrounded by women, he has to save the world but,... Fill the blanks and write your novel.
His 'but' is that he has to be the second runner in everything to push the real hero forward. That reason became stale and repetitive, and after some time his reason to be the second seat should have disappeared but it did not. Author tried to make MC irritable then immediately drop it. Him being second ranker, him being around student council hottie, him being around princess, him having a genius student at his beck and call does not arouse interest in others somehow.
There are not many unique things to the story. An academy, empty power ups, some oohs and aahs and that's all really.

it isn't very clear. I think author is confused about which direction he wants to build this story.

Naah i am good. Hate that ☝️ shit to guts.

I read it once. It was fine, but the finale ended with a harem. Which was disappointing.

Might has well have no synopsis

The man's got an image to maintain, but isn't quite equipped with all the skills he needs to maintain that image. That is, he has the body's magical ability, but that's all he has. Experience? Zero. Theoretical knowledge? Zero.
And he needs be the number 2 student in the academy, but cannot be number 1.
You can probably tell from that already, that this is a story of our MC needing to maintain an "arrogant" character in public, while secretly struggling to obtain the skills and results to back that attitude. All while misunderstandings of him build xD
That felt like it was worded a bit generically, but oh well. Personally, I'm expecting that eventually he'll need to be careful about accidentally overtaking the first place student, which could have potential for more misunderstandings, but at any rate, I expect people who like misunderstanding type stories to enjoy this
