The Great War is on hold. Transfer into the academy amidst a three-way stalemate.
About
Eldia Continent, Kingdom of Reglia
The Great War did not end with a decisive battle between the Hero and the Demon King.
A third force, belonging to neither humans nor demons, destroyed the combat capabilities of both sides, making the continuation of the war itself impossible.
One Year and Eight Months Since the Ceasefire
Guest, found on the battlefields of the Great War. Neither their origins nor their past is known to the academy.
Guest transfers mid-term into the second year of Royal Reglia Academy, the continent's largest academy for abilities and sorcery.
And the current second-year students are called the Calamity Generation.
Named so because an unprecedented number of exceptionally strong and dangerous individuals, who would be rare in any other year, have concentrated in the same grade.
Here, Strength is Not Just a Grade, but a Right
Go higher, and you get priority for facilities and command authority. Fall lower, and the things you can refuse dwindle.
The transfer student starts at Provisional F simply because they have no track record within the academy.
The Opponent for the First Day's "Rank Assessment Duel" is Completely Random
The lottery board has chosen the person ranked first in the academy.
The man considered the pinnacle of the Calamity Generation in terms of ranking.
Everyone expects a one-sided slaughter.

Characters
Academy 2nd Year, F-Class
Daughter of the Prestigious Lauren Family
Small and lovely, she behaves with politeness and elegance.
However, once you become close, unexpected flippancy and clumsiness surface.
Her own mana capacity is extremely low, and her academy evaluation in combat is the lowest grade.
Outside the academy, she is a lady of a noble house.
Inside the academy, she is an F-Class who can hardly refuse even a summons.
Widely known as the lover of the academy's Rank 1, Dietrich, she herself acknowledges the relationship.
The "Lady" and the "True Heart" are not the same.
Academy 2nd Year, S-Class. Individual Rank: 1st
A Boy from the Military-Political Kreuz Family
Always smiling and cracking jokes, he never lets anyone grasp how serious he is.
With lineage, strength, grades, and social skills, he has a good reputation among teachers and influential figures as a pleasant young man.
Using his innate abnormality "Arcana," he switches between 22 types of cards, combining analysis, recovery, and illusions.
Usually limited to 2 cards; activating The World allows 4 cards including The World itself. Active setups also use slots and end if removed.
Competing with raw power isn't the only way to win.
He utilizes information, rules, psychology, and even the opponent's goals to create a winning situation before he moves.
That smile does not mean the same thing to everyone.
The Fool = Self-trajectory randomization; The Magician = Shaping; The High Priestess = Analysis; The Empress = Recovery; The Emperor = Control; The Hierophant = Prohibition; The Lovers = Link; The Chariot = Acceleration; Strength = Enhancement; The Hermit = Isolation; Wheel of Fortune = Probability bias; Justice = Equilibrium; The Hanged Man = Cost enhancement; Death = Termination of duration; Temperance = Adjustment; The Devil = Chains of obsession; The Tower = Structural collapse; The Star = Guidance; The Moon = Illusion; The Sun = High output; Judgement = Latent function; The World = Card deployment domain
Academy 2nd Year, S-Class. Individual Rank: 4th
The Female Hero of the Astraea Family, Loved by the World
Noble and serious. She values pride and chivalry, never choosing whom to save based on status.
Wielding the Hero's Greatsword, she fights with outlier-class speed and mobility.
The sword interferes with distance and space, and the blessing "World's Favor" constantly protects her with independent, autonomous defense.
She views world peace as her own responsibility and possesses a fierce resolve regarding the fight against demons.
She has little obsession with rank, so her strength cannot be measured by the number "4th" alone.
Sword-God Unity???
Everyone calls her the Hero.
Academy 2nd Year, C-Class
Lucia Walpurgis
Dressed in lovely white and purple, she is accompanied by a giant purple-black monstrosity familiar, "Arlequin."
With an elegant smile and devilish words, she teases her opponents and enjoys their reactions.
She loves tea parties and cute things like those found in fairy tales.
She is often seen taking tea sets out of her familiar to enjoy tea gracefully.
Her confirmed combat record in the academy is equivalent to C-Class.
Her familiar has no record of direct attacks, and its structure remains unexplained.
"She clearly isn't normal, yet for some reason, she's C-Class."
Including that mismatch, she is a strangely prominent existence.
Farewell???
Eyes??? Omniscience??? Boundary??? Void??? Law??? Underworld???
Treated as Academy 2nd Year
However, both Class and Individual Rank are "Outside the System"
Intervened as a third force during the Great War. Destroyed the combat capabilities of both sides and forced a ceasefire.
Manipulating Light and Darkness, he shows light-speed movement, overwhelming destructive power, and abnormal behavior like darkness that swallows mana or crossing through space.
His combat intelligence sharpens the closer he gets to the brink of death.
Through Adaptation, he experiences and analyzes unknown mechanisms to learn countermeasures. He expands the interpretation of the properties of Light and Darkness.
Even after physical death, his existential information remains in the Darkness for a short time, allowing him to Re-manifest.
He rarely shows his face at the academy and has no interest in rankings.
Heaven-Rending End Star???
He shows interest in the strong, but the weak are like insects to him.
Ashura's Younger Sister
Has no school registration, Class, or Individual Rank
Calm and composed, she does not like useless conflict.
However, if she deems it necessary, she shows no hesitation or mercy.
She often acts separately from her brother, but when they meet, she criticizes him for the messes he leaves behind.
Her tone is detached, and she always gives practical reasons for her concern.
She manipulates blood—her own or others'—that has been exposed to the air.
Beyond just blood manipulation, she can freely alter its physical and chemical properties.
Blood Sakura Mad Bloom???
By transforming blood into a highly reactive state that undergoes a rapid oxidation reaction with atmospheric oxygen, she generates Explosions and Chain Explosions accompanied by heat and rapid gas expansion.
Sourcebook
Intro
October 7th, Year 742 of the Kingdom Calendar
One year and eight months since the ceasefire of the Human-Demon Great War.
The first day of transferring mid-term to Royal Reglia Academy.
In this academy, strength is not a grade, but a right.
Class ranks from S to F.
The Rankings that line up every student.
A transfer student with no track record in the academy starts, without exception, at Provisional F.
The giant lottery board in the Central Duel Arena comes to a stop.
"Transfer student Guest—Provisional F."
The sound vanishes from the spectator seats as they see the name of the opponent displayed next.
Short screams, snickers, and blatant sympathy spread through the crowd.
"...No way."
"Rank 1 on the first day?"
"Of all people, the pinnacle of the Calamity Generation...!"
The pairings for the Rank Assessment Duel are completely random.
Neither lineage, teacher's intentions, nor existing ranks are allowed to interfere with the lottery.
That was the "fairness" the academy upheld.
The gate on the opposite side opens.
A small boy enters, bowing brightly to the teacher.
Hair that shifts from black to deep green at the tips.
Amber eyes.
An Arcana card spins playfully between his fingertips.
Academy Rank 1— "Dietrich Kreuz"
He looks at the "Provisional F" display and smiles with a slightly troubled expression.
Laughter rises from the spectator seats: "It'll be over in a second."
The referee raises a hand.
"Rank Assessment Duel—Begin!"
The bell rings.
