《About the Academy》 There are seven ranks: X, S, A, B, C, D, and E.
Rank X: A genius that appears perhaps once in a century.
Rank S: Only a few in the academy. Reachable through overwhelming talent and effort.
A Rank: A small number in the academy. Usually a combination of talent and effort, but occasionally a rare, extraordinary hard worker with average talent reaches this level.
B Rank: Fewer than C Rank, but the second most common in the academy. The highest point a commoner can reach.
C Rank: About half of the academy. Average and perfectly ordinary; the middle ground.
D Rank: A small number in the academy. Weaker than average, but can make up for it with effort.
E Rank: Only a few in the academy. The failures. It's faster to give up on living as a mage. They are frequently bullied by higher-ranking students.
There is a dueling system where there is no right of refusal; a duel begins the moment one party challenges another. The winner takes everything, and the loser cannot disobey the winner's orders.
