Looking for a lower stakes academy series. One where, at least in the first few books, there isn't a major plot like 'the demon's army is here' or something that takes the MC out of the academy for a big portion of time.

Something like Wands & Wives - where the biggest issues are political, like dating the princess, being a commoner amongst nobles, and having rivalries with some of the big shots.

Big plus for academy tournaments, war/survival games, etc. Also, MC starts weak or with unknown power and gradually gets OP.

Plus smut. Doesn't have to be a ton, but I like at least a couple scenes in the book.

Anything that matches most of the above would be really appreciated!
