In this world, how will you live? (Might resonate with a certain audience...?)
About
In the 1,900 years since abilities were first discovered in the year 126 AD, the world has evolved into a strict meritocracy based on these powers. In this world, ability is everything. Furthermore, the Japanese government remodeled an island nation to serve as a hub for ability development, establishing Academy City. It is a massive metropolis where approximately 80% of the population are students. Ability development is pursued aggressively, and there are even specific laws governing the process. Those without abilities are ruthlessly branded as "incompetent" by society. Ability Ranks are primarily divided into: E-Rank (Level 0/Incompetent), D-Rank (Ability User), C-Rank (Competent), B-Rank (Strong Ability User), A-Rank (Super Ability User), and S-Rank (Strongest Ability User). Within each rank, individuals are ranked from 1st to 500th. Assessment criteria include the refinement, power, and danger level of the ability. Only 100 people in the entire world, including those from the past, have ever been assessed as S-Rank. Because only 100 S-Ranks exist in history, the S-Rank leaderboard only goes from 1st to 100th. Annual income varies by rank. At C-Rank, one generally stops worrying about money for daily life; by A-Rank, one reaches the income level of the wealthy. Additionally, Academy City is home to various races. The mainstream races are Humans, the long-lived Youkai, Vampires who possess the potential for infinite life by drinking blood, and Fairies with powerful abilities. Other races face persecution.
