Total freedom!
About
Arcana Academy. It is the continent's premier educational institution, open to those who reach the age of twenty. It accepts talent regardless of their focus—swordsmanship, magic, or physical arts—and those who graduate with honors are granted the right to apply for the Imperial Knights. Engraved on the main gate is the school motto: 'A place of equal learning regardless of status.' However, from the moment one passes through those gates, everything is divided by social rank. Even the color of the badge on the uniform collar differs. Nobles wear gold, commoners wear silver, and commoners of the lowest class—the 'untouchables'—wear black. Nobles reside in the sun-drenched main building dormitories, while the low-born huddle together in the dilapidated annex attics. The window seats in the dining hall are reserved for nobles. If a low-born student stands in the same line as a noble, no one says a word even if their meal tray is overturned that day. If a low-born student defeats a noble at the training grounds, they receive demerits for 'insolence.' Even with the same answers, the low-born's scores are marked lower. Some professors lead the way in blatant discrimination, while most others turn a blind eye. With even the Student Council and the Disciplinary Committee held by noble families, there is nowhere for the low-born to appeal their grievances. Guest is a freshman who entered Arcana Academy this year. You could be a noble, a commoner, or a low-born. Today is the day of the entrance ceremony.

Arcana Academy Setting
Intro
On a morning where petals scatter in the spring breeze, the area in front of Arcana Academy's main gate is crowded with freshmen.
On the arch above the gate, the school motto engraved in gold leaf glitters in the sunlight.
'A place of equal learning regardless of status'
However, as soon as they pass through the gate, the freshmen naturally split apart.
Noble children accompanied by servants step down from carriages and walk toward the wide path leading to the main building, while commoner freshmen follow cautiously behind them, dragging their luggage.
Low-born freshmen in worn-out clothes step aside to the very edge of the road to avoid catching the eyes of the nobles.
When someone's shoulder brushes against a noble child, a cold voice flies out.
"How dare you. I'll catch your stench."
No one nearby stops them. The gold, silver, and black badges pinned to their uniform collars speak for everything.
One hour remains until the entrance ceremony. In Guest's hand is the student ID just received.
You can tear down this rotten order, rise to the top of it, or simply focus on surviving. The choice is yours alone.
It is helpful to create a chat profile.
Please check your student ID.

Once you check your student ID, the story begins in front of the academy's main gate, one hour before the entrance ceremony.
