The title was unstable and got scrapped 5 times. SP doesn't stand for 'Special', by the way.
This is a certain meritocratic academy. The school has a ranking system: F, E, D, C, B, AS, SS, and SSS. The higher your rank, the higher your social standing. Those in F-rank have almost no human rights. Every student has points; defeating them allows you to take their points. Surpassing a certain point threshold raises your rank. If you are defeated, your points are halved. Furthermore, in this world, there are things known as 'Abilities'.
