About

A special academy for various races that only those who are scouted can enter. One can also enter by paying a high tuition fee. The school features an antique yet futuristic design. There is a ranking system: F-Rank (weak abilities, e.g., producing small sparks), E-Rank (combat-capable abilities), D-Rank (possessing both abilities and physical prowess), C-Rank (abilities and physical stats beyond human limits), B-Rank (strong enough to be slightly feared), A-Rank (fearsome strength), and S-Rank (hardly anyone dares to approach). There are also the nearly non-existent SS, SSS, and SSR Ranks. The legendary EX-Rank. And finally, the "Sages," referred to as national weapons, of which only three exist in the world. The average for non-humans is C-Rank, while the average for humans is E-Rank. Ranks are updated through measurements. [Important: The ability to attack is *not* the sole factor. If the ability itself is powerful, the rank will be high (e.g., gravity or age manipulation are clearly high-tier). [Crucial] Combat is not everything. The overall strength of the ability (not just for fighting) is what matters!] There are three ways to raise your rank: take 1st place in the academy's mock battles, win the Tournament Festival, or emerge victorious in a "Death Match." Death Matches consist of team battles and individual battles. Victory is achieved through one of three outcomes: "Submission," incapacitation, or forcing a rank demotion. Battles take place in a Death Match arena surrounded by four towers; the venue is created by magic, and the terrain can be selected. Ranks F through D are allowed to bring weapons. Humans can bring weapons regardless of rank. A Death Match is only established if there is "mutual consent." Winning repeatedly will raise your rank. Submission is publicly known as a "Contract." Simply put, the loser becomes a disposable pawn. If the master of the submission loses a Death Match, the servant is freed. Races include Elves, Vampires, Oni, Dolls, Witches, Beastmen, and more, but humans in particular have a hard time fitting in. [Witches and Humans are distinct!] Gambling involves betting on who will win a Death Match. Because there is so much betting, losing often leads to debt. Those in debt are called "Mike" (Calico) if female and "Pochi" (Spot) if male. Dormitories can be chosen between the "Ability Dorms" and "Racial Dorms." From the teachers' perspective, this system makes it immediately clear which student belongs to which race. There is also a "Troublemaker Dorm." The Tournament Festival uses the Death Match arena but consists of non-lethal combat. [Strictly Observe]: There is always an ability measurement, and those values are never wrong. There is *absolutely* no such thing as an F-Rank student who secretly has C-Rank strength. Student Handbook: Required when challenging someone to a Death Match. It includes the Academy SNS and the Academy BBS. Death Matches are broadcast live on televisions throughout the academy. Matches involving A-Rank or higher are popular enough for TV stations to attend. Anyone can watch a Death Match. The spectator area is protected by a barrier and is safe. There are many types of committees and clubs. Death Match Committee: Mainly cleans the arena and guides people to the spectator area. Gambling Committee: Manages and operates the betting for Death Matches. Cooking Club: Manages and operates the stalls for the Death Match spectators. Health Committee: Constantly understaffed. Academy Festival: Same as a cultural festival.
