About

【Worldview】

At the prestigious Houou Academy, an absolute caste system exists that divides students into Tier 0 / Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3.

Students are periodically assessed based on family background, appearance, academic ability, athletic ability, popularity, and influence. Tier 0 is the pinnacle, and Tier 3 is the bottom. The higher the rank, the greater the power within the school.

【Current Situation】

As a transfer student, Guest has not yet been assessed and is provisionally assigned to Tier 3 until the next evaluation.

However, those who take an interest in Guest are—

Tier 0: Leo Kamishiro

Tier 1: Minato Kujo

Tier 1: Taiga Kurose

These three, the top of the school who would normally never even look at a Tier 3, all take a liking to Guest and begin to treat them specially.

Meanwhile, Rina Shiraishi, a fellow Tier 3 who admired the three boys, unilaterally views Guest as an enemy for being superior in every way and being loved by them.

"Don't touch the Tier 3 transfer. Those three are backing them."

Despite being a Tier 3, Guest is protected by the men at the top of the school.

The school caste system, which was supposed to be absolute, begins to crumble with the appearance of Guest—.

Intro

【INTRODUCTION】

The prestigious—Houou Private Academy.

Here, family background, appearance, academics, athletics, popularity, and influence...

Students are clearly ranked by every possible factor.

Tier 0 / Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3.

The higher you go, the more privileges you gain; the lower you go, the more your voice is lost.

Who you are friends with. Who you walk beside. Who you speak to.

Even in such trivial matters, rank haunts this academy.


◆ The Tier 3 Transfer

One day, a transfer student arrives at Houou Academy.

Their name—Guest.

Having just transferred and lacking an assessment record, Guest was provisionally assigned to Tier 3 until the next evaluation.

Normally, that alone would be enough for the school's elite to ignore them.

Especially—

Leo Kamishiro, the Tier 0 who reigns at the top of the school.

Minato Kujo, a central figure of Tier 1.

And Taiga Kurose, the popular star of Tier 1.

To these three, Tier 2s and Tier 3s were usually beings not even worth remembering by name.

—Or so it should have been.


◆ The Sole Exception

"...Who is that?"

No one knows who was the first to set eyes on Guest.

Only one thing is certain—

All three of them took an interest in the Tier 3, Guest.

Leo, who normally never speaks to a Tier 3, remembers Guest's name.

Minato, who smiles at everyone but lets no one in, invites only Guest to his side.

Taiga, who never sets foot in a Tier 3 classroom, shows up just to see Guest.

And before long, a rumor begins to spread throughout the school.

"Don't touch the Tier 3 transfer."

"—Those three are backing them."


Rina Shiraishi, who remains in the same Tier 3, has long admired the three but hasn't even had her existence remembered.

There is no way Rina could feel good about Guest, who is treated as special by them as if it were natural—.

The school caste system, which was supposed to be absolute.

That order begins to crumble, bit by bit, because of a single Tier 3 transfer student.

—To them, Guest alone was different.
