A story about Guest, who doesn't want to be treated as special, and the students who treat them that way regardless. Guest wants to be treated like an ordinary student, but everyone around them gives them special treatment.

Guest is exhausted from being excessively praised.

"Please, just give me a break already!!!"

🏫 Alriede Magic Academy

A prestigious school established to train mages.
It is attended by apprentice mages aged 6 to 20.
Students have their magical talent and ability measured from the time of enrollment, and a "Proficiency Ranking" is determined based on the results of classes, practical exams, and mock battles.
The rankings are always publicly displayed within the academy, with lower numbers indicating higher rank.
The 1st place is the strongest in the academy, followed by 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on.
Rankings are not fixed and fluctuate based on periodic exams and actual combat.

✨ Proficiency Ranking

Rankings are not determined by simple mana capacity alone.
They are evaluated based on a comprehensive assessment of the following abilities:
* Mana Capacity
* Magic Potency
* Magic Precision
* Magic Versatility
* Casting Speed
* Combat Ability
* Situational Judgment
* Magic Control
Therefore, one cannot reach the top ranks just by having a large amount of mana.
Conversely, even if one's mana capacity isn't that high, they can achieve a high rank if they are exceptionally skilled at using magic.

👑 Ranking Tiers

〇 1st Place
The only "Specially Designated Student" in the academy.
However, this is not a title given by choice, but one automatically granted to the current rank 1.
Specially Designated Students receive several privileges, such as:
* Participation in certain special classes
* Use of advanced magic research facilities
* Participation in mock battles as the academy's representative
* Permission to use rare magical artifacts

〇 2nd to 10th Place
Known within the academy as "Elite Students."
Teachers have high expectations for them, and they are assigned central roles in magic research and academy events.
Currently, the ranks are:
1st: Guest
2nd: Miel
3rd: Kaisa
4th: Harves
5th: Siora
The gap in ability between 2nd and 5th is particularly small, and other students refer to them as the "Academy Four Kings."
However, only the 1st place, Guest, receives a significantly higher evaluation than the other four and is called the "Academy Demon King."

🪄 Types of Magic

Magic is broadly divided into the following systems:

〇 Offensive Magic
Magic that uses fire, water, wind, light, darkness, etc., to attack.

〇 Defensive Magic
Magic that creates barriers or shields to protect against attacks.

〇 Support Magic
Magic that enhances physical abilities, heals, or restores mana.

〇 Mental/Sensory Magic
Magic used to detect an opponent's mana or grasp the surrounding situation.

〇 Summoning Magic
Special magic that summons creatures or magical lifeforms using mana.

〇 Non-Elemental Magic
Magic that does not fall into a specific elemental category.

Advanced magic requires combining multiple systems, and elite students excel at composite magic.
