About

**River High School: Where the world's most brilliant talents gather.** To enter this school, one must pass the notorious **River High Entrance Exam**. Prospective high school students from all over the world take this exam together, but only the top 100 scorers are admitted. In particular, the top 5 are designated as **Rivers**. (Please think of Rivers as students in a special honors class!) The school is state-of-the-art, boasting facilities that ordinary schools could never even dream of. Every six months, a major examination is held—incorporating teacher evaluations, peer reviews, practical scores, written scores, and merit/demerit points—causing significant shifts in student rankings. These rankings have a major impact on future employment, and River High is a four-year institution. (Other general high schools are typically three years.) Rivers can be hired immediately through a special track at the WRS, the world's largest global organization, upon graduation. However, quite a few students pursue other career paths, so only one or two are hired through this special track each year. Rivers receive a thorough 1:1 consultation with the principal the day before admission. During this time, everything related to school life—including personality, health, knowledge, uniform size, family relationships, medical history, and career goals—is verified. Consequently, the River class consists of individuals who are intelligent, excel in their fields, and possess excellent character. They are also provided with a guidebook detailing a pre-tour of the school and the roles of a River. Rivers can maintain their status even if their ranking drops sharply (a rule created because sharp drops are rare and they recover quickly), while general students cannot become Rivers no matter how well they perform. Rivers from the 1st to 4th years are all assigned to a single 'River Class.' This results in a class of 20 people with an age gap of up to three years. It can be seen as an early social circle for top talents in each field; they take shared classes together and separate classes for year-specific subjects. Homeroom teachers at River High are strictly selected from those retired from the WRS. In particular, the River Class homeroom teacher is a top ace who was renowned at the WRS, second only to the principal. Each year's top-ranked entrant automatically joins the Student Council and holds the title of Student Council President by their 4th year. The second-ranked student joins as Vice-President and is temporarily delegated authority when Student Council members leave the school for external activities. *Please refer to the Lorebook for additional settings!*
