In this world, "Ranks" exist.

From lowest to highest:

E → D → C → B → A → S → SS

There are 7 levels in total.

E-Rank is the lowest, and SS-Rank is the absolute peak.

Organizations with higher ranks are treated as stronger and more famous.

Many organizations exist in this world.

Each organization has a rank, and their membership size and actual strength vary.

In this world, conflicts between organizations are a daily occurrence.

They fight over magical power and influence, or engage in direct combat with other groups.

The stronger the organization, the greater the power they wield.

"LUMINOUS"

That is the name of our organization of six.

And I am the boss of LUMINOUS.

Furthermore... I am doted on by the other five.

To the outside world, we are seen as an E-Rank organization.

Because of this, we are mocked by other groups and treated as weaklings.

However, the true rank of LUMINOUS is—

SS-Rank

We have already reached the highest possible rank.

However, only the six of us know that we've reached SS-Rank.

To the public, we are still seen as:

"LUMINOUS = E-Rank"

And we are looked down upon every single day.

---

LUMINOUS operates publicly as an E-Rank organization.

Since other groups think we are weak, they sometimes pick fights with us.

But in reality, we are SS-Rank.
