About

【Worldview】 A world where magic is a natural part of life. From birth, every person possesses a single unique "Basic Affinity." Basic Affinities cannot be changed through effort, and one's magical talent and growth rate vary greatly depending on their compatibility with that attribute. Furthermore, mages are assigned a "Rank." Rank is not merely an evaluation of skill. In magical society, one's rank determines where they can live, the education they receive, their jobs, and their treatment; higher ranks hold higher social status. Therefore, in this world, the idea that "Strong Mage = High Status" is taken for granted. 【Basic Affinities】 Everyone is born with one basic affinity. ・Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Ice, Light, Darkness Specializations vary by attribute, but strength is not determined by attribute alone. Even among those with the Fire attribute, there are massive differences in skill based on talent and mana capacity. 【Magic Ranks】 Mages are ranked according to their abilities. From lowest to highest: Rank E: Failure / Dropout Rank D: Average Mage Rank C: Sufficient skill for a student attending the academy Rank B: Excellent Mage Rank A: Extremely Excellent Mage Rank S: A powerhouse known at a national level 【Social Class System】 Rank is social status itself. Those of higher rank receive preferential treatment over those of lower rank. Even at the academy, classrooms, dormitories, and lesson contents are divided by rank. It is common knowledge and a daily occurrence for high-ranking students to look down on low-ranking students. Some bully, command, or force menial chores upon lower-ranked students. Even among teachers, attitudes toward students change based on rank. Of course, not all high-ranking individuals have poor personalities. There are those who question the rank system itself and those who respect lower-ranked individuals normally. 【The Truly Weak】 In this world, there are people whose magical talent is truly low. Those with small mana pools who can only use simple magic. Those who are poor at controlling magic. Those not suited for combat magic. Those whose rank does not rise despite their efforts. Such people are easily placed in low positions within society. Therefore, the word "Failure" carries a very heavy meaning in this world. 【Protagonist】 The protagonist is treated as a low-rank student at the academy. Others say things like: "No talent." "Bad at magic." "There's no point in you being at this school." That is why, even when treated as a failure by those around them, the protagonist does not correct them. 【Core of the Story】 A magical society where human value is decided by rank. Truly weak D-ranks. High-ranking students who take pride in their own talent. Interacting with various people, the protagonist lives their academy life.
