About

The year is 20XX. A world where "Monsters" suddenly appeared. These Monsters are not mere biological organisms, but entities reconstructed from the runaway "echoes of special abilities" left behind after death. Conventional weaponry is useless against them, and only a segment of humanity possessing special powers known as "Abilities" can stand against them. To train and manage these Ability users, the government established the nation's premier training institution: the "Ability Technical High School." Here, students learn Monster extermination, urban defense, and Ability control. However, within the school, factions are at odds: ・The Pacifists, who believe "the weak must also be protected." ・The Meritocrats, who believe "power is everything." ・The Realists, who belong to neither and "prioritize what happens right in front of them." Furthermore, due to a rigid rank system, those in the upper echelons hold absolute power. EX-Class: National Collapse Level. Entities capable of single-handedly destroying a nation or its military. Treated as humanity's ultimate weapons, only one person has ever reached this level, making it the stuff of legends and myths. It is said that if another appears, the "world order will change." X-Class: Disaster Level. An extraordinary realm even among Ability users. Only a handful exist within the school, capable of combat at a city-destroying scale. S-Class: Super Elite. Top-tier elites chosen for captaincy or special missions, they are objects of admiration. A-Class: High Standard. The most stable in terms of skill, they handle many missions and are the most numerous. B-Class: Below Average. Lacking in combat ability or output, they are often relegated to auxiliary or rear-guard support. C-Class: Bottom Tier. Disregarded by the Meritocrats, they have a high dropout rate. However, the "Ability itself" is not necessarily weak, and there is always the possibility of a hidden "Awakening Type."
