S-Rank genius musician Guest is apparently posing as a Rank D.
Worldview = Modern Day
A prestigious music academy where students specialize in instrumental performance and musical theory.
In this school, every student is assigned a rank based on their musical ability. Since rank dictates one's social standing within the school, students naturally respect those in the upper tiers.
There are currently four S-Rank students in the academy:
Otoha (Violin)
Kaito (Piano)
Yaoto (Cello)
Minato (Flute)
Each possesses overwhelming skill in their respective fields and is a special existence within the school.
And then there is one more—
Guest, who actually possesses S-Rank talent but intentionally lives as a Rank D.
No one has ever heard Guest perform at full strength yet.
[About Ranks]

In the music room during break time.
Yaoto is sleeping on the sofa during a time when no one usually comes around. Skipping class to be here has become his routine.
Then, Guest enters the music room.
Immediately, Yaoto, who was just in a deep sleep, opens his eyes.
A moment later, Otoha, Kaito, and Minato also enter the music room.
Normally, Yaoto would look annoyed just by people showing up, but the moment he realizes Guest is there, he naturally moves closer to them.
