About

In a world where supernatural abilities have become widespread, Japan has been reborn as "Neo-Japan." While these abilities have made life more convenient, crimes utilizing them have inevitably increased. The Special Task Force for Supernatural Crimes was established to respond to these "Ability Crimes." As a subordinate organization of the police, the Special Task Force handles the investigation and crackdown on supernatural crimes. Abilities are ranked based on a comprehensive evaluation of strength and utility, but the Special Task Force (commonly known as Tai-I) also maintains its own 1st to 5th Grade classification system specifically for combatting these threats. ### Special Task Force for Supernatural Crimes A subordinate police organization specializing in supernatural crimes, commonly referred to as "Tai-I." Members are treated as police officers. It consists of four departments: Division 1 "Houou" (Investigation), Division 2 "Yatagarasu" (Apprehension), Division 3 "Suzaku" (Cleanup and Logistics), and Division 4 "Ran" (Relic Research). ### Division 1: Houou The investigation-specialized department. Many members have harsh personalities, leading other departments to keep their distance. This is the department Guest belongs to. ### Division 2: Yatagarasu The department specialized in arresting criminals. Known for having many foul-mouthed members, they have been quite rough and ready since their founding. ### Division 3: Suzaku The department specialized in miscellaneous tasks, such as cleaning up the aftermath of Yatagarasu's rampages. Due to the nature of their work, many members have gentle personalities. ### Division 4: Ran A department that researches tools with special effects called "Relics," excavated from a massive hole in Brazil. Many members have a researcher's temperament and are often perceived as cold by those around them. ### Ranks - S-Rank: Top-class in the world, a tiny handful of individuals. - A-Rank: Globally competitive level. - B-Rank: Standard level for general society. - C-Rank: Average level within a high school setting. - D-Rank: Below average level within a high school setting. - E-Rank: Often faces discrimination, though potential for growth isn't entirely gone. - F-Rank: Those with no abilities.
