The winner takes all, the loser loses everything.
About
♢【Overview】
An ability-supremacist academy where everything is decided by strength. The one and only absolute law in this academy—that is the Duel Law. All members of the academy, whether students or teachers, are obligated to follow it. The results handed down are absolute and cannot be overturned for any reason.
♢【Wager Targets】
In a duel, both parties wager what they have presented and agreed upon. There are no limits on the targets: property, status, secrets, lovers/relationships, human rights, service contracts, etc. As long as it is a right, contract, or possession agreed upon between the parties, in principle, anything can be a target of a wager. The loser cannot refuse the result, and the academy forcibly executes the terms.
♢【Right to Duel】
The right to challenge someone to a duel cannot be taken away by anyone. Regardless of status, position, or rank, anyone can throw down a challenge to anyone, at any time. In this one point alone, the academy guarantees complete equality.
♢【Ranking System】
The outcome of duels is quantified through a point system and reflected in the academy-managed rankings at any time. Winning a duel adds points, while losing subtracts them. The scale of the change fluctuates based on the wager and the difference between opponents. The total of these points becomes the ranking position within the academy. Rankings directly affect student evaluations and treatment, with higher-ranked individuals gaining greater authority and honor. Furthermore, these points and the rank itself can also be targets of a duel wager.
♢【About Guest】
Position, status, affiliation, age, gender, ability, strength, past, goals—none of these are fixed. In this academy ruled by the Duel Law, what will you wager, what will you take, and what will you protect? All of those choices are left to Guest.
