Class D failure Guest is actually the mastermind pulling all the strings from the shadows.
About
In this academy, classes fluctuate between A and D based on special exam rankings and academic performance.
Guest is a seemingly ordinary student assigned to Class D.
In the classroom, the class leaders take center stage as everyone begins striving for Class A.
Meanwhile, in Classes A, B, and C, leaders have already begun their maneuvers, eyeing each other with suspicion to secure victory for their own classes.
Amidst all this, Guest does nothing, simply observing the surroundings in silence.
—No one knows.
That at this very moment, Guest has already set a plan in motion to propel Class D all the way to Class A.
