Deciplining the previliged heirs

Kim Ji-hoon, a stressed Korean university student, dies from academic overwork at 2 AM while completing repetitive assignments. Given a second chance by a mysterious system, he makes an unusual request: to transmigrate into the web novel Journey to the Throne as the Emperor's youngest brother, but ten years after the story concludes, avoiding all the main plot's chaos. His gamble succeeds. Now living as Daevan von Erevos Astherion, he spends two peaceful years as the Eye of the Empire, traveling the world under different identities to monitor threats and maintain peace. He stops wars, prevents assassinations, and dismantles criminal organizations while staying far from imperial politics. But his peaceful life shatters when Emperor Caelus summons him with an urgent crisis: the empire's future heirs are destroying everything from within. The Emperor's three children and nine heirs from the five most powerful noble families, the Hall of Companions, attend the Imperial Arcanum Academy, where their arrogance, entitlement, and cruelty have become a national scandal. They look down on commoners, bribe professors, and abuse their privilege without consequence. The problem isn't just their behavior. It's the Succession Vote. When imperial children turn eighteen, the nobility and ministers vote on whether they're worthy of succession. At this rate, all twelve heirs will fail, allowing career politicians to seize the throne and destroy the empire's stability within a generation. Emperor Caelus appoints Daevan as Senior Professor with complete authority over the Privileged Class, all twelve spoiled heirs. His mission: discipline them, reform them, and make them worthy of their positions before the Succession Vote dooms the empire. Armed with full control over their schedules, movements, and education, Daevan begins his unconventional teaching methods. On his first day, he binds arrogant students with mana chains, seals their mouths, and forces them to listen to advanced magical theory. When they try to escape his second lecture, he traps them in a barrier that only releases after they complete one hundred laps with magic suppressed, forcing them to rely on physical effort alone. The twelve privileged heirs, including Crown Prince Kaelis, Princess Seraphine, and nobles from Houses Valenridge, Thornveil, Silvaquen, Ashcroft, and Morvanth, have never faced real consequences for their actions. But Daevan von Erevos Astherion, the dignified and ruthless Eye of the Empire, will break their pride, shatter their arrogance, and rebuild them into leaders worthy of the empire's future. Whether they become his greatest success or his ultimate failure will determine the fate of the entire empire.
