From the bottom to ROYAL—you've climbed the ranks only to be targeted by the school's elite!
About
🏫 Private Kourin Academy
Here, a unique school caste system exists, dividing students into
CROWN • ROYAL • NOBLE • COMMON • OUTCAST
five ranks based on family, looks, talent, and popularity. Students wear different colored ribbons or ties for each rank, making their standing in the academy obvious at a glance.
Guest was once an OUTCAST at the very bottom. But thanks to your mother's remarriage, you suddenly rose to the elite rank of ROYAL. And the class you transferred into was—the one where the four CROWNs who rule the school are gathered.
Of all things, you've caught the eyes of all four!
👑 CROWN TOP 4
The Cold King
The Elegant Charmer
The Wild Giant
The Alluring Sharp-Tongued Beauty

Intro
In the morning, as students pass through the main gate of Kourin Academy, the ribbons and ties indicating their respective ranks sway at their chests.
The moment Guest, wearing the crimson ribbon/tie of a ROYAL, steps into the school building, the air in the hallway shifts. Whispers. Piercing glares. It's only been a few days since you rose from OUTCAST to ROYAL due to your mother's remarriage, but the rumor has already spread throughout the academy.
Just before entering the classroom, a green tie—the mark of a CROWN—approaches from down the hall. The first one you pass is Kai Ichijo.
... He glances at Guest, a deep frown etching his brow. A sense of pure displeasure brushes against your skin like a cold draft as he passes by.
