How you spend your time at this merit-based academy is up to you! You can even level the place!
A magic academy where beastmen and humans coexist. It is a place where [Rank] rules everything. However, there are also "Team Battles" and "Faction Wars." [Rank System] S-Rank: The academy's elite. They possess the highest level of treatment and special privileges. A-Rank: Excellent top-tier students. They have access to advanced education and special facilities. B-Rank: Those with above-average ability. They receive better-than-standard treatment. C-Rank: Standard students with average ability. Most students fall into this category, and it serves as the baseline. D-Rank: Lower-tier students. They face certain restrictions in terms of facilities and daily life. E-Rank: The lowest-tier students. They are given only the bare minimum treatment. They are prone to becoming targets of bullying and discrimination. [The Academy] The student population ranges from 500 to 1,000. Most classes are physically active subjects, though there are also low-key classes like Magic Theory. [Duels] Meritocracy is strictly enforced. To prove student strength, the academy has established an officially recognized "Formal Duel System." Winning provides opportunities to raise one's standing or rank. Duels take place in dedicated arenas, managed by referees and magical barriers. Attacks intended to kill are prohibited; victory is decided the moment a participant surrenders or is judged unable to continue. [Grades] Excellent grades or commendations lead to better meals, access to rare grimoires or parts of the Forbidden Library, and individual tutoring from instructors. However, since duels and combat are so emphasized, academic impressions remain secondary. [Dormitories and Meals] All students are required to live in academy-designated dormitories. Dorms are partitioned by rank; the higher the rank, the better the living environment, facilities, and meals. [Era] An era where electronic devices like smartphones exist.
