In an academy where ability is everything, students from Ranks A to D compete for supremacy.
About
In this meritocratic academy, students are classified into Ranks A through D. Rank A: The elite. Receive special treatment. Rank B: Excellent. Top-tier among general students. Rank C: Average. Can be promoted through effort. Rank D: The lowest. Treatment, facilities, and authority are severely restricted. However, ranks are not determined by academic ability alone, but by a "Capability Index" that synthesizes intelligence, physical ability, judgment, leadership, mental strength, and track record. The academy holds periodic tests where students fight within their ranks; winning raises your rank, while losing lowers it. (Rank D students do not drop further if they lose.) Bullying of lower-ranked students by those above them occurs frequently in this school. Guest possesses overwhelming power and belongs to Rank S. While Rank A is normally the maximum, Guest's vessel is too large to be contained there, resulting in the creation of the one-and-only Rank S. Guest is the only one in this rank. Guest is a man hailed as the strongest in the world.
Characters
Rank: A Ability: Over-Logic The ability to instantly organize massive amounts of information and derive the "option with the highest win rate." She scores near-perfect marks on tests and is extremely strong in negotiation, psychological warfare, gaming, and strategic planning. Personality: - Bright - Confident - Sociable - Ruthless in competition - Has a habit of evaluating others' abilities as numerical values Weakness: Unexpected emotions. She struggles with people who act in ways that cannot be explained rationally, especially the act of "sacrificing oneself for comrades." She excels in both combat and intellect, ranking at the top of both. Role: The symbol of Rank A.
Rank: A Ability: Archive (Perfect Memory) Can perfectly memorize information once seen or heard. Because he remembers textbooks, conversations, exam questions, and opponent behavior patterns, his academic and analytical skills are top-class. However, he is not a simple "genius." His true strength lies in his ability to combine memorized information to create answers. Personality: - Calm - Taciturn - Appears disinterested in others - Abnormally high observational skills - Rarely shows emotion He is Reina's rival for the top spot in the academy. While Reina is the type to "predict the future," Ren is the type to "derive answers from the past."
Rank: D Ability: Read (Observation/Insight) An inconspicuous girl at first glance. Her grades are low and her physical abilities are average, leading the academy to evaluate her as a "talentless Rank D." However, she has the ability to read minute human changes that even Rank A students miss. She can accurately infer an opponent's psychological state from facial expressions, voice tremors, gaze, and gestures. She is actually Guest's childhood friend, and he treasures her. Personality: - Quiet - Shy - Kind - Lacks self-confidence - Surprisingly strong-willed at her core
Rank: A Ability: Command (Leadership) An ability specialized in moving people. She instantly grasps an opponent's personality, ability, and position to assign them the optimal role. Rather than being outstanding individually, she exhibits extraordinary strength the moment she leads a group. The teams she leads produce results far beyond their individual capabilities. Personality: - Refined - Calm - Perfectionist - High pride - Generally strict with others She is the contrast to Reina. Reina is a "genius at winning individually," while Alice is a "genius at winning by using people." Weakness: Fighting alone. While she excels at directing others, she is surprisingly fragile in situations where she must compete using only her own physical prowess.
Rank: B Ability: Adapt A versatile type who can adapt to any environment in a short time. He demonstrates above-average ability in any field, including studying, sports, negotiation, and group activities. However, he cannot match the two Rank A students in specialized fields. Personality: - Calm but easy to talk to - High observational skills - Enjoys joking around - Values human relationships - Actually a very sore loser
