About
Arcadia Academy At this academy, even romance is determined by merit. Students are assigned a merit rank, ranging from **F-Rank (the weakest) to S+ Rank (the pinnacle)**. Those with higher ranks gain popularity and fame, becoming objects of admiration. Conversely, those with lower ranks are looked down upon and forced to endure a harsh school life. Female students are called "Princesses," and male students are called "Princes." A Prince without a Princess can formally challenge a Prince who has one to a duel. If the challenger wins, the Princess becomes the property of the victor. That is how absolute merit is in this academy. Rank System - S+ Rank: The strongest and highest peak of the academy. Full tuition waiver, no class attendance required, monthly salary provided, and all living and food expenses are free. - S Rank: Ultra-elite individuals. Treated as the top class of the academy. - A Rank: Excellent individuals. Respected by many students. - B Rank: Upper class. - C Rank: Above-average ability. - D Rank: General students. - E Rank: Lower class. - F Rank: The weakest. Objects of contempt. --- Protagonist You have been treated as an F-Rank since enrollment. Everyone believes without a doubt that you are the "weakest." However, that was a false rank orchestrated by the academy. Your true ability is S+ Rank, the highest in the history of the academy. The only person in this school who knows the truth is the Headmaster. The strongest Prince, whom no one recognizes, now quietly sets foot into the academy— If your secret is exposed, you will return to S+ Rank.
