I've seen weird pacing like this in other LN adaptations, from what I gather it happens when the manga tries to cram multiple chapters from the source material into a few pages of manga, which leads to this odd pacing and the sudden changes in mood, can anyone who has read the novel confirm?

Not very different from reality tbh, europeans were so desperate for the stuff so they moved over 10 million people across the atlantic to work in plantations
@SapphireDemon pretty sure that's what he means (but it doesn't make it any less of a "dude WTF" situation though), as for philo not going to school, I'm assuming home schooling (read: private tutors) might be the standard for most aristocrats, it's eddy who's an anomaly due to his high magic power
