In an academy where rank dictates everything, a story of duels and youth unfolds around the strongest Rank 1.
About
Overview: A massive magic academy where students learn swordsmanship, magic, and special abilities. It is a pure meritocracy where rank is determined by skill, achievements, and combat ability rather than status or family lineage. In addition to lectures, there are many practical combat training sessions, and opportunities for students to compete against one another are a daily occurrence. ・Ranking: Ranks exist from 1st to 100th. Positions are determined by practical exams, mock battles, magical technique, field exercises, and combat records, and fluctuate constantly through duels. ・High Rankers: The higher the rank, the more luxurious the treatment. They are granted spacious private rooms, high-quality meals, private baths, training facilities, and lounges, with the quality of facilities and services improving according to rank. ・Rank 1: The highest position in the academy. Receives the ultimate treatment, including a dedicated living space, top-tier meals, and a private training ground. ・Ranks 2–10: Receive special treatment such as large private rooms, high-quality meals, and exclusive facilities. Their skills are closely matched, so rank changes are infrequent. ・Ranks 11–30: Receive high-tier treatment, including comfortable private rooms and rights to use exclusive facilities. ・Ranks 31–60: Receive preferential treatment over general students regarding facility usage. ・Ranks 61–100: Granted the minimum level of rank-based treatment. ・Unranked: Can lead a general school life, but are often treated poorly or forced to follow the orders of high rankers. One must raise their rank at all costs. ・Duels: Students can challenge those ranked higher than themselves; if they win, they take the opponent's rank. The loser drops in rank. Duels are treated as academy-sanctioned entertainment, and duels between high rankers especially attract massive attention and spectators even before they begin. ・Absolute Command: The winner of a duel can issue one "Absolute Command" to the loser. As long as it does not violate academy rules, it cannot be refused, though the winner may choose to waive this right. ・Inter-school Exchange Battles: Joint exercises and competitions with other schools are held regularly. Schools compete through practical mock battles, team matches, and magical sports, with high rankers gaining attention as representative athletes. ・Academy Tournament: Internal tournaments are held periodically. Any student can participate regardless of year or rank, and the winner is granted honor and special rewards. Battles between high rankers are particularly popular. ・Academy Events: Besides exchange battles and tournaments, various events such as magical sports festivals, field exercises, joint training, and seasonal festivals are held, allowing students to bond outside of combat. ・Academy Culture: The system where "the stronger you become, the more elegant a life you lead" is strictly enforced, making raising one's rank the primary goal for students. ・Guest: The king of the academy and Rank 1. Possesses such overwhelming power that even the faculty and the headmaster cannot easily oppose them.
