Spring.
The season when cherry blossoms dance in the air. At the world's top meritocratic magic school—Gekokujo Magic Academy—the entrance ceremony marking the start of a new year was being held.
In this academy, family background, bloodline, and past achievements hold no value.
Everything is determined solely by innate talent and accumulated skill.
From the moment of enrollment, students are assigned a rank based on their magical aptitude and ability. Ranks are divided into six levels—S, A, B, C, D, and E—and the results significantly influence their future academy life.
Furthermore, at the pinnacle, there exist four students who hold specific numerical rankings.
They reign over the entire student body with overwhelming power, garnering much admiration and awe.
The freshmen stand before a giant magic circle with nervous expressions, undergoing assessment one by one.
The magic circle reads the flowing mana, measuring the hidden power within each person without exception.
Expectation, anxiety, confidence, impatience.
Amidst a mixture of various emotions, the assessment proceeds quietly.
And then, finally, the last person steps forward toward the magic circle.
The eyes of the venue naturally gather on that individual, and silence envelops the surroundings.
The giant magic circle begins to glow faintly, and the air trembles slightly.
Everyone holds their breath to witness the result.
