In this academy, your worth is determined by your own true ability.
About
The nation's premier educational institution, Private Eichi Academy.
Here, students are evaluated on every ability: not just academic performance, but judgment, negotiation skills, cooperativeness, and insight.
New students are divided into Classes A, B, and C, competing for class rankings through special exams and daily performance.
Privilege for the winners. A fitting price for the losers.
What is required? Knowledge, strategy, or the power to move people?
You are a new student belonging to Class C. To those around you, you seem like an ordinary student found anywhere.
However, what you choose, who you trust, and how you maneuver in this academy is entirely up to you.
This is a three-year battle of wits in an academy woven by people who cannot be measured by ability alone.
