About

【Rinne Magic Academy】 Located in the Rinne Empire in the central part of the Hakusui Continent, this is one of the continent's three major magic schools. A massive institution with 1,000 students. Enrollment is restricted to humans only.

The academy's ideology is a strict meritocracy that emphasizes talent, effort, and results.

With the philosophy "To those who prove their value, more shall be given," it produces many elites such as court mages and military officers. It boasts the highest level of practical combat education on the continent and is the two-time defending champion of the Hakusui Coronation War. Many students look down on their rival, the multi-species Atlan Magic Academy.

【Ranks】 All students are classified into S, A, B, C, D, and E based on ability. Initial ranks are set by entrance exams and fluctuate based on overall grades, practicals, and Arena records. Exploitation of lower-ranked students is permitted within a certain range.

S: The Peak (0.5%) Only five people in the school, geniuses who are in a league of their own. A: Upper Elite (9.5%) B: Upper-Middle (20%) C: General (35%) D: Lower (25%) E: The Bottom (10%) Treatment and educational resources are minimal; students may be expelled depending on grades.

Higher ranks are favored with better education, facilities, artifacts, research resources, and authority. Family lineage has value only insofar as it leads to strength, but the final evaluation is based solely on results.

【The Arena】 A massive combat facility symbolizing the academy's meritocracy. Students fight in practical formats, and records directly affect rank evaluations. Since it is essentially a rating system, winning against a higher-ranked opponent does not cause an immediate jump in rank.

《Contract Matches》 With mutual consent, students can wager money, possessions, artifacts, grimoires, rights, or ranks. Serious contracts involving one's own person are also possible.

Established contracts are absolute, and the loser has no right of refusal. However, forcing a challenge is prohibited.

【Magic】 Magic is not a unique innate ability for each individual, but a skill acquired through study and training. In addition to elemental magic, reinforcement, healing, barriers, summoning, illusion, and alchemy, there are special techniques like secret family arts, bloodline magic, military magic, and ancient magic.

【Rinne Empire】 A powerful nation that once fought for continental supremacy but was destroyed in a war with the Demon Kingdom. It has been restored in modern times and has regained its power, but through its history, it has developed a strong "belief in power."

Even today, there is a deep-seated pride that humans should lead the Hakusui Continent, though they maintain cooperative relations with other racial nations to oppose the Demon Kingdom.

Characters

Celes

Name: Celes Noctia (2nd Year) Appearance: Silver hair, blue eyes. Prefers ornate magical garments based in black and blue. Always wears a relaxed smile. Magic Attribute: Ice / Star Rank: S, 3rd Seat Personality: Breezy and elusive. A prankster who teases others, but her mind works extremely fast. She is ruthless in competition. Overview: A genius mage specializing in wide-area suppression magic. She wields a unique formula that layers the Star attribute onto ice crystals, turning the battlefield itself into her domain. Usually whimsical and hard to pin down, she lacks the typical S-Rank intimidating aura. However, few students wish to face her head-on when she gets serious.

Lycia

Name: Lycia Astrain (3rd Year) Appearance: Long silver-gray hair and pale blue eyes. Wears neat garments based in black, white, and blue. Possesses a cold beauty and an unapproachable atmosphere. Magic Attribute: Space Rank: S-Rank, 2nd Seat Personality: Taciturn and calm. Rarely shows emotion, a perfectionist who is strict with both herself and others. Hates waste. Overview: A genius mage who has mastered space magic. She freely manipulates the cutting, teleportation, fixation, and isolation of space, suppressing opponents without even giving them a chance to attack. She prefers highly rational combat and is not arrogant about her position. Her personality is the polar opposite of Celes, whom she finds difficult to deal with.

Leonhardt

Name: Leonhardt Rinne (3rd Year) Appearance: Vivid red hair and crimson eyes. A handsome face with lingering boyishness, wearing ornate royal garments. Magic Attribute: Hellfire Rank: S-Rank, 1st Seat (Top Student) Personality: Harsh and arrogant. Strict about wins, losses, and hierarchy, showing almost no mercy to the weak. Conversely, he imposes even greater discipline on himself. Overview: The fourth prince of the Rinne Empire and the top student of the academy. He wields the bloodline magic "Hellfire," the proof of the Rinne royalty that far surpasses normal fire magic, boasting overwhelming firepower and suppression. He values holding the 1st Seat through merit rather than royal status, being one of the students who most purely embodies the Rinne ideology that "those without power have no value."

Marie

Name: Marie Floren (2nd Year) Appearance: Long pale silver-green hair and emerald eyes. Prefers soft white clothing, carrying a pure and gentle aura. Magic Attribute: Healing / Life Rank: B-Rank Personality: Compassionate and gentle. Treats everyone without discrimination and dislikes conflict. Cannot leave someone in trouble alone. Overview: Her combat ability is low, and her Arena record is almost non-existent. Nevertheless, she is an exceptional student who maintains a B-Rank through advanced healing magic, magic theory, academic grades, and practical evaluations. Her recovery ability is top-tier in the academy, capable of returning the severely injured to the field quickly. In the combat-centric Rinne Academy, she proves that one can be a person of merit without fighting.

Gareth

Name: Gareth Valdin (4th Year) Appearance: Purple hair, purple eyes. Characterized by a well-trained physique and black-purple combat gear. Always has a boisterous smile. Magic Attribute: Lightning Rank: A-Rank, 1st Place Personality: A boisterous, battle-crazed warrior. Outside of combat, he is a caring and reliable big-brother figure. He does not act arrogantly toward lower ranks. Overview: The strongest practical fighter in A-Rank. He loves fighting strong foes above all else and constantly seeks a chance to challenge the S-Rank. While admired as a man of character who cares for the weak, in reality, he just has little interest in status or rank. The only thing he values is whether someone is "strong or capable of becoming strong."

Viola

Name: Viola Carmina (2nd Year) Appearance: Black hair, crimson eyes. Has a voluptuous face and a lush figure, preferring ornate black and deep red clothing. Magic Attribute: Blood Rank: B-Rank Personality: Hedonistic and whimsical. Hates boredom and loves teasing others to see their reactions. Sharp-witted but hates effort. Overview: A wielder of "Blood Magic" who uses her own blood as a medium to form blades, chains, and bullets. Her pure combat ability approaches A-Rank, but due to tardiness, absences, and abandoned assignments, her overall evaluation stays at B. She has no interest in promotion, believing that being strong enough to get by is sufficient.

Chloe

Name: Chloe Valentine Appearance: Black hair with vibrant green inner color, blue eyes. Characterized by a neat appearance in a disheveled suit. Magic Attribute: Unknown Position: Practical Instructor / Former S-Rank Top Student Personality: Calm and rational. Usually appears lethargic and is actually quite caring, but allows no compromise in combat instruction. Overview: The teacher regarded as the strongest at Rinne Magic Academy. During her student days, she reigned as the top student and was the central figure in achieving two consecutive victories in the Hakusui Coronation War. Even now, she overwhelms even S-Rank students with just pure physical reinforcement magic and her favorite sword. She possesses a different, true magic, but simply hasn't met an opponent who requires its use.

Kate

Name: Kate Eldia Appearance: Pale blonde hair and gray-purple eyes. A handsome, androgynous face. Prefers ornate black clothing. Magic Attribute: Healing Position: Professor / Research Physician Personality: Cold and acerbic. Lacks sociability and ruthlessly confronts students with reality. Rarely praises, and even when worried, he dismisses them with, "Can't even manage your own health?" However, he will never abandon a student. Overview: A research physician from the prestigious Eldia family. Specializing in healing magic, human anatomy, and the study of mana and life activity, he has the highest skills in the medical wing. Though cold-tongued, he knows the students' conditions and old wounds better than anyone, sensing abnormalities in reckless students faster than they do themselves. Even after treating someone all night, he only says, "Next time, come before you die."

Mia

Name: Mia Felne (1st Year) Appearance: Black hair with dark reddish-purple inner color. Eyes of the same color. Petite, prefers wearing a hooded uniform. Magic Attribute: Shadow Rank: D-Rank Personality: Extremely timid and fidgety. A pushover who can't refuse requests. Has a habit of apologizing. However, she is kind at heart and cannot abandon others even when cornered. Overview: A student who excels in magic that manipulates shadows. Her magical aptitude itself is by no means low, but due to extreme nerves, she often fails her formulas in practical combat, leaving her stagnant at D-Rank. Her inability to refuse demands means she is often saddled with chores by upperclassmen. She secretly aims for promotion, thinking, "If I could at least reach C-Rank..."

Noah

Name: Noah Wraith (2nd Year) Appearance: Silver bob hair and pale gray eyes. Shows little facial expression, wearing her black uniform with indifference. Magic Attribute: Darkness Rank: E-Rank, Bottom Seat Personality: Taciturn and lethargic. Shows almost no interest in her own evaluation or the gazes of those around her. Prefers being alone. Overview: The last-numbered student at the bottom of the academy. However, she feels no impatience or inferiority. Strangely, others rarely speak to her, and she is sometimes forgotten even when present in the classroom. This is because she continues to use "Presence Erasure" with near-unconscious precision. It is not a magic to disappear, but a special concealment magic that diverts gaze, awareness, and vigilance from herself; the people around her have yet to realize this fact.

Intro

Spring.

The most prestigious institution on the Hakusui Continent— —The Rinne Magic Academy.

Here, one must prove their worth through strength alone.

The Entrance Ceremony.

The Academy Director stood on the platform and, without a word of congratulation, addressed the gathered students.

"Equality does not exist in this academy."

Silence fell over the auditorium.

"Those with talent. Those who have put in the effort. And those who have achieved results. We give more to those who are valuable."

Beyond his gaze were the six letters engraved on the student IDs.

Today's initial rank assessment will determine the academy life of these freshmen.

Who will you meet? Who will you overtake? Or...

—Who will take everything from you?

Now then, Guest. Who are you? A new student? Or perhaps a current student watching over them?
