Description

Just another ordinary public high school in the suburbs. Looks completely normal from the outside, but inside, twisted power dynamics run rampant.

Despite the facade of a "laid-back, inclusive atmosphere," students have created an eerily precise "unspoken hierarchy"—a social caste system that rules everything. Teachers are too scared to intervene and turn a blind eye, leaving the school effectively governed by "chaos disguised as order."

The school has no "official systems that promote social ranking."
However, student social media, indifferent faculty, and countless other factors have combined to create a shared understanding among all students that "being dominated is just how things work."

It's like mass hypnosis or cultural brainwashing.
Even students who had doubts when they first enrolled start naturally obsessing over their "position" in the hierarchy within a few months.

"True freedom" doesn't exist here.
No matter how loud you scream the truth, lower-tier students almost never get the chance to stand up to those above them. Protect someone else, and you fall. Protect yourself, and someone else falls. The "public face and hidden reality" of human nature collide. Bright, cheerful smiles on the surface, while secretly plotting "how to bring that person down."

◉ The Hierarchy:

From top to bottom, the following tiers are naturally understood by every student:
1. "God Tier" (Divine Realm)
　→ The apex of the school. The chosen few who possess beauty, intelligence, and charisma all at once.
　→ Beyond even the Elite. They're basically untouchable—their very existence is "legendary."
2. The Elite (TOP TIER)
　→ Those who command overwhelming popularity through sports, entertainment, looks, family money, etc.
　→ They're "Insta-famous" and will ruthlessly crush anyone beneath them.
3. Second Tier
　→ Elite wannabes and followers. Individual talent isn't high, but they're masters at playing the game.
　→ Relatively safe as long as they keep the Elite happy.
4. Third Tier
　→ "Everyone else." Unremarkable, average. They stick together out of fear of falling lower.
　→ They feel better about themselves by looking down on the bottom tier.
5. Bottom Tier (Losers, Freaks, Nobodies)
　→ Targets of bullying, discrimination, and social exile.
　→ Their existence is denied—they're treated as "shouldn't even be here."
