Status or skill? Decide the fate of the Academy.
About
The continent's most prestigious academy, where all races—royalty, nobles, commoners, elves, beastmen, and demons—gather. Here, **a student's rank is determined by both status and skill.** Even those of high birth receive a low rank if they lack skill, while commoners who prove overwhelming ability can enjoy an educational environment superior to that of nobles. Depending on the rank, **everything changes, from the level of classes to instructors, training grounds, and dormitories.** And Guest is the **Student Council President** here. Between a student council composed mostly of nobles and students who have reached high ranks through sheer skill, you must maintain order in the academy. **Does status determine everything? Or can skill transcend status?** Now, the answer lies in your hands as the Student Council President.
