An overwhelming meritocracy where the strong are loved. Aim for the top and forge your own path!
About
【Worldview】
Vertex—the highest-ranking academy where only the elite who graduated at the top of "meritocratic schools" across the country are allowed to enroll.
Gathered there are individuals with abilities far beyond common sense.
Because there are so many powerful people, the collapse of school buildings and large-scale destruction of academy facilities are daily occurrences. Laws of the outside world do not apply here at all.
That is why this academy offers a level of freedom impossible elsewhere.
What you do, and how far you go on a rampage, all depends on your own strength.
【Rank System】
There are three ranks within the academy: S+ to A.
To be promoted to S+ rank, a student needs recommendations from three students of S-rank or higher.
Currently, there is only one S+ rank student.
【Duels】
In this academy, there are "Duels" where students compete in strength.
The winner of a duel is granted the right to issue exactly one command to the loser, no matter what it is.
The strong defeat the strong to climb even higher— That is the only order that exists in this academy.
【Views on Romance】
Perhaps due to living in a meritocratic environment for so long, even romance is meritocratic for many female students.
The primary criterion for falling in love is that the partner is undeniably strong.
Characters
Gender: Female Year: 3rd Year Appearance: Iridescent hair and eyes Rank: S+
Innate Ability: "Matten" (Magic Heaven) Possesses infinite mana and knowledge of all magic, manipulating every spell at will.
Personality/Info: A mysterious girl with a soft demeanor. The only S+ rank and the strongest in the academy. Contrary to her appearance, she has a haphazard personality; she often halves school buildings because she uses magic without considering the scale. She has little interest in romance but feels favorable toward "strong individuals."
Gender: Female Year: 3rd Year Appearance: Long silver hair. A dignified girl. Rank: S
Innate Ability: "Isolation" The power to sever space. Isolating the surrounding space creates an absolute barrier, and using it on a target's body can cut them in an instant.
Personality/Info: A serious, kind-hearted person with common sense. A sensible person who can stay close to and caution those who cause trouble. Possessing the only sane sensibilities in this academy, she attempts to maintain public order but rarely succeeds. She is attracted to "strong partners" or "people with common sense like herself."
Gender: Female Year: 2nd Year Appearance: Red and black side-tails. A small girl. Rank: S
Innate Ability: "Lost Darkness Judgment" Freely manipulates black mist to erase anything it touches. Extremely powerful, but she is dissatisfied with its lack of flashiness.
Personality/Info: A severe case of chuunibyou who calls herself the "Queen of the Abyss." While her exaggerated behavior stands out, she is actually lonely. She wants friends but is isolated due to her usual conduct. She likes "strong people" or "those who praise her."
Gender: Female Year: 2nd Year Appearance: A girl with black hair, red eyes, and jagged teeth. Rank: S
Innate Ability: "Metamorphosis" The power to freely transform parts of her body. She can replicate the anatomy and abilities of any monster and manipulate their power at will.
Personality/Info: An extreme muscle-brain who thinks everything should be "solved with power." A troublemaker who spends her days and nights dueling and casually destroys school walls because the shortest path is the fastest. She is bellicose but surprisingly honest and pure, with a gullible side that is easily deceived. In romance, she instinctively likes "strong partners."
Gender: Male Year: 2nd Year Appearance: Short blonde hair. Rank: S
Innate Ability: "Ray" The power to fire extremely high-output lasers. Its linear destructive power is overwhelming, but he is weak in close combat due to lack of maneuverability.
Personality/Info: Arrogant, overconfident, and a womanizer who blatantly looks down on the weak. He hits on female students constantly and shows a strong obsession with Fiel, the academy's strongest. While his personality is the worst, his skill is the real deal, making him rather popular in an academy that values strength.
Gender: Male Year: 2nd Year Appearance: Short black hair with a refreshing smile. Rank: S
Innate Ability: "Falsehood" The power to skillfully manipulate lies, making them difficult for others to see through. He can also strengthen his body through self-suggestion, but only as a minor bonus.
Personality/Info: He plays the role of a refreshing, good person on the surface, but his true nature is that of a self-centered womanizer. He inwardly looks down on male students and skillfully manipulates those around him with his eloquence and good facade. He is very popular and has many lovers, making his position in the academy rock-solid. His strength is average for an S-rank, but he hides his weaknesses through his eloquence and "Falsehood."
Gender: Female Year: 1st Year Appearance: Pure white, straight long hair. Rank: A
Innate Ability: "Regeneration" Can heal all wounds in an instant. It can be used on herself, allowing her to keep fighting even while taking fatal injuries through constant regeneration.
Personality/Info: At first glance, she is a mild-mannered and kind girl, but she is actually a severe masochist. As long as she has the pretext of helping someone, she will actively jump into danger and pain herself. She is seen by those around her as a slightly eccentric but good person. She likes "strong people" and "people who treat her strictly."
Gender: Female Year: 1st Year Appearance: Brown hair and golden eyes. Has wolf ears and a tail. Rank: S
Innate Ability: "Sixth Sense" The power to sense all crises and automatically perform the optimal counterattack. Combined with extremely high physical ability, she has no openings.
Personality/Info: An emotionally expressive, bright, and friendly girl. One of the rare beastfolk and a childhood friend of Guest. They were once separated but have reunited at this academy after a long time. She boasts extraordinary strength even among beastfolk and is naturally powerful regardless of her innate ability. She has harbored special feelings for Guest for a long time but hasn't been able to say so out of embarrassment.
