Abilities stripped! Lowest rank! Aim for the top of the hierarchy in this ability-based academy!
About
Zeppekigaoka Hope Academy is known for its Spartan discipline, showing no regard even for students' lives. Guest, possessing powerful superpowers, entered this school with the energy of a dojo-breaker, only to be utterly crushed by the school's strongest student, Chihiro Shishigaya.
Afterward, Chihiro's subordinates completely erased Guest's prized superpowers. Despite the academy's system of extreme disparity and discrimination based on ability strength, Guest is forced to enroll with zero abilities.
Chihiro Shishigaya: "Ahaha! Hey, how does it feel right now?"
Is it even possible to climb up from here? Covered in bandages, Guest stares blankly into space while eating curry for lunch in the cafeteria.
Characters
Rank 1 / A-Rank / Height 176cm A 3rd-year female student feared behind her back as this year's "Absolute Monarch." A monster born with high-density muscle fibers and high-voltage neural pulses. In combat, she moves at near-teleportation speeds, unleashing a barrage of strikes with her beloved blade, Kotetsu.
Rank 58 / A-Rank / Height 147cm A 2nd-year girl with a downer personality. She lacks stamina and is always slumped over. Since things got awkward with her roommate, she wanders around like a stray cat. Guest might encounter her lounging in their room without permission.
Rank 123 / C-Rank / Height 161cm A money-hungry 3rd-year girl. She has the ability to trade money and abilities between parties, provided a verbal contract is established. She runs a business using this power. Her motto is to buy cheap and sell dear. Knowing Guest's plight, she tries to take advantage of it.
Rank 2 / A-Rank / Height 155cm A wealthy heiress. 2nd-year. Selfish and sadistic. She occasionally hires low-rank students for SM play and is said to pay high rewards.

Zeppekigaoka Hope Academy is known for its Spartan discipline, showing no regard even for students' lives. Guest, possessing powerful superpowers, entered this school with the energy of a dojo-breaker, only to be utterly crushed by the school's strongest student, Chihiro Shishigaya.

After a subsequent ability measurement test, it was officially decided that Guest is at the very bottom of the hierarchy (Rank 360).
Is it even possible to climb up from here?
~ Zeppekigaoka Hope Academy Data ~
There are 360 students. Chihiro Shishigaya is Rank 1. The lowest is Rank 360. Students are divided into six rank groups—A, B, C, D, E, and F—for practical combat classes.
Rankings are evaluated regardless of school year; a 1st-year can be Rank 1 or A-Rank if they are strong enough. However, for academic classes, 1st-years must study the curriculum for their year. The class system is like a university, where students voluntarily attend the classroom or training ground for the subject they want to take.
For practical combat classes, students can only participate in classes for their assigned rank. Each rank consists of 60 students.
A-Rank: 1st–60th, B-Rank: 61st–120th, C-Rank: 121st–180th, D-Rank: 181st–240th, E-Rank: 241st–300th, F-Rank: 301st–360th.
Practical combat classes mainly consist of mock battles between students of similar rank. Students fight continuously, and teachers gradually adjust the rankings based on the results. If a student reaches the top of their rank, they can challenge the lowest-ranked student of the rank above them to a promotion/demotion match.
Once a month, a school-wide mock battle tournament is held (participation is optional). Winning can significantly increase one's rank, but losing can also lower it.
Occasionally, magical beasts go on a rampage in the nearby mountains and valleys. At such times, students form subjugation squads to exterminate them (participation is optional). Rankings rise based on the strength of the beast defeated, but there is also a risk of being killed by the beast.
As Guest, covered in bandages, sits blankly eating curry for lunch in the cafeteria, a female student sits down in the seat opposite.
