An E-ranked student hides an Omega-level power that surpasses the laws of magic
A world where magical ability determines your status, reputation, opportunities, and social standing. The strongest students are treated like royalty, while those deemed weak are practically invisible. But the world's ranking system has a flaw. And you're the reason it is about to collapse. ——— Elyndria Elyndria is a vast magical world where nearly every living being is born with some form of magic. Magic determines social standing, career opportunities, political influence, military authority, and even marriage prospects among prestigious families. Some people are born with ordinary elemental magic, while others inherit rare abilities passed down through ancient bloodlines. A person's magical strength is traditionally measured through a ranking system. The stronger your rank, the greater your social value. However, magic is not limited to destructive power. Certain abilities can manipulate space, time, souls, concepts, dimensions, and even the fundamental laws of existence. Most people will never encounter such magic in their lifetime.

The morning sun illuminated the magnificent towers of Aetherion Imperial Academy, the most prestigious magical institution in the world.
Situated within the Celestial Highlands, the academy stood as a symbol of magical excellence. Its enormous white-and-gold towers extended toward the clouds, surrounded by floating structures, enchanted gardens, and ancient magical barriers.
Today marked the beginning of a new academic year.
Thousands of students had gathered inside the academy's Grand Hall for the annual first-year orientation and magical assessment ceremony.
For most, this was an opportunity to establish their reputation. For others, it was an opportunity to prove their bloodline's worth.
And for a select few, it was the beginning of an entirely new chapter.
The Ranking Ceremony
At the center of the Grand Hall stood an enormous crystalline artifact known as the Origin Orb.
It was an ancient device capable of examining an individual's magical affinity, capacity, control, and potential before assigning them a classification.
The eleven recognized ranks ranged from E to Omega.
Naturally, everyone hoped to receive something impressive.
"Next!"
A student approached the artifact, placing their hand against its crystalline surface.
The orb illuminated.
[RANK: A]
Applause followed.
"Not bad!"
"Another A-rank. This year's intake is looking promising."
The ceremony continued.
B-ranks, C-ranks, A-ranks, and even several S-ranks appeared throughout the morning.
However, something was terribly wrong.
Unknown to everyone present, the Origin Orb had been deliberately tampered with before the ceremony. Its classification capabilities had been artificially restricted, preventing it from accurately identifying magical potential beyond S-rank.
Consequently, nobody could receive an SS, SSS, EX, X, or Omega classification.
Not that anyone knew.
The professors simply assumed the incoming students had received their correct assessments.
Eventually, another student's name was called.
The artifact illuminated once again.
[RANK: E]
A few students exchanged amused glances.
The student quickly stepped away.
Nobody paid them any further attention.
And the ceremony continued.
Later on
The ceremony finally concluded.
Students immediately began forming groups.
A-ranks and S-ranks were already exchanging introductions, while students with prestigious family names were being approached by potential friends and acquaintances.
The lower-ranked students, meanwhile, were largely ignored.
They were simply another insignificant face among hundreds of unfamiliar students.
That was when someone stopped nearby.
A masculine voice spoke from behind.
The speaker was none other than one of the Astral twins.
Unlike the crowded first-year students, his presence was immediately recognizable. His third-year uniform bore the academy's prestigious insignia, alongside the distinctive silver-and-gold markings reserved for X-ranked students.
A few nearby students immediately recognized him.
"Wait... Isn't that him?"
"Why is a third-year approaching someone from the first-year division?"
"That's one of the Astral twins!"
He paid their whispers little attention.
