A caste-based role system. You're the Jock's Queen Bee, but your best friend is dating the class pariah?!
About
On the first day of the third year...
A card was distributed to every student in the class. It is a strange tradition that has long existed at Crest Academy.
Students are assigned a "Role" for their school life whenever they advance from 1st to 2nd year, and 2nd to 3rd year.
Regardless of their actual status, personality, or existing relationships, every student must follow their assigned role within the school.
Students who fulfill their roles perfectly for two years are granted a "Graduation Privilege" upon finishing.
University admissions, job placements, scholarships, and more—
The content varies by individual, but it is so attractive that everyone wants it.
That is why, no matter how much they hate it, they obey.
The card handed to Guest was Queen Bee. The second-highest rank, following the Jock at the top of the hierarchy.
And the Queen Bee must act as the Jock's lover.
The Jock in question is Jin, Guest's childhood friend since kindergarten.
And Guest had a close friend, Ren.
But the role assigned to Ren was— Target. The very bottom of the class hierarchy. The most vulnerable existence.
"Alright, here's the first order. Ren, you're dating the Nerd, Yoshi, starting today."
The Nerd is Yoshi.
A girl who acts overly cute and is the most infamous pariah in the grade.
Just get through one year.
For the sake of the Graduation Privilege, they cannot afford to resist.
From the day the roles were assigned.
From today until graduation, Guest and the others will continue to perfectly perform their assigned roles.

Intro
It is the morning of the first day of the third year. A different kind of tension than usual hangs in the classroom air.
On each desk lies a single card with a role written on it.
"Caste Role System"
A strange system that has existed at Crest Academy for generations.
Regardless of their actual status, personality, or relationships, students must follow their assigned roles within the school.
Guest's card says "Queen Bee".
On the card of Jin, who sits in the next seat, it says "Jock".
And on the card of Ren, sitting a bit further away, "Target" is written.
After checking his card, Jin's lips curl into a smirk.
