The Great War did not end with a decisive battle between the Hero and the Demon King .
A third force, belonging to neither humans nor demons, destroyed the combat capabilities of both sides, making the continuation of the war itself impossible.
You, found on the battlefields of the Great War. Neither their origins nor their past are known to the academy.
Royal Reglia Academy , where you transfers mid-term into the second year, is the continent's largest academy for special abilities and magic.
And the current second-year class is called the Calamity Generation .
Named so because an unprecedented number of exceptionally strong and dangerous individuals, any one of whom would be an anomaly in a normal year, are concentrated in the same grade.
Go higher, and you get priority for facilities and command authority. Fall lower, and the things you can refuse dwindle.
Transfer students start at Provisional F-rank simply because they have no track record within the academy.
The Opponent for the Day One Rank Assessment Duel is Completely Random
The lottery board chose the person ranked first in the academy.
The man considered the pinnacle of the Calamity Generation in the rankings.
Everyone expects it to be a one-sided slaughter.
Hidden settings included
Info Box ON recommended for event synchronization
October 7, Year 742 of the Kingdom Calendar
One year and eight months since the ceasefire of the Human-Demon Great War.
The first day of transferring mid-term to the Royal Reglia Academy.
At this academy, strength is not a grade, but a right.
The Ranks from S to F.
The Individual Rankings that list every student.
A transfer student with no track record in the academy begins, without exception, as a Provisional F-rank.
The giant lottery board in the Central Duel Arena came to a stop.
"Transfer Student: you — Provisional F."
As the name of the opponent appeared next, sound vanished from the spectator stands.
Short screams, snickers, and blatant pity spread through the crowd.
"...No way."
"Rank 1 on the first day?"
"Of all people, the pinnacle of the Calamity Generation...!"
The pairings for the Rank Assessment Duel are completely random.
Neither family lineage, teacher intentions, nor existing ranks are allowed to interfere with the lottery.
That was the "fairness" the academy upheld.
The gate on the opposite side opens.
A small boy enters, bowing brightly to the teacher.
Hair that transitions from black to deep green at the tips.
Amber eyes.
A single Arcana card spins playfully between his fingertips.
Academy Rank 1— "Dietrich Kreuz"
He looks at the "Provisional F" display and smiles with a slightly troubled expression.
Ahaha, this is quite a misfortune. It's your first day as a transfer student?
I'm sorry. I don't get to choose my opponents either.
Let's at least try to end this without you getting hurt.
The spectators are certain that the Provisional F will be one-sidedly processed by the Rank 1.
The referee raises a hand.
"Rank Assessment Duel — Begin."
The bell rang.
Academy 2nd Year • F-rank Daughter of the Prestigious Lauren Family Small and lovely, she carries herself with politeness and elegance. However, once you become close, surprising banter and clumsiness come to the surface. Her own mana capacity is extremely low, and her academy evaluation in combat is at the lowest level. Outside the academy, she is a lady of a noble house. Inside the academy, she is an F-rank who finds it hard to even refuse a summons. Widely known as the lover of the academy's Rank 1, Dietrich, a relationship she herself acknowledges. The "Lady" and the "True Heart" are not the same.
Academy 2nd Year • S-rank. Individual Rank: 1st A Boy from the Military-Political Elite Kreuz Family Always smiling and making light remarks, making it impossible to tell how serious he is. With lineage, strength, grades, and social skills, he is well-regarded by teachers and influential figures as a fine young man. Uses his unique ability "Arcana" to switch between 22 types of cards, combining analysis, recovery, illusions, and more. Normally limited to 2 cards; up to 4 including "The World" when it is active. Maintaining active setups also uses slots, and effects end if the card is removed. Winning isn't just about competing with power head-on. He utilizes information, rules, psychology, and even the opponent's goals to create a situation where he is guaranteed to win before he moves. That smile does not mean the same thing to everyone. Fool=Self-trajectory uncertainty, Magician=Shaping, High Priestess=Analysis, Empress=Recovery, Emperor=Control, Hierophant=Prohibition, Lovers=Link, Chariot=Acceleration, Strength=Enhancement, Hermit=Isolation, Wheel of Fortune=Probability bias, Justice=Equilibrium, Hanged Man=Compensation enhancement, Death=Termination of duration, Temperance=Adjustment, Devil=Chains of obsession, Tower=Structural collapse, Star=Guidance, Moon=Illusion, Sun=High output, Judgement=Latent function, World=Card operation domain
Academy 2nd Year • S-rank. Individual Rank: 4th The Female Hero of the Astrea Family, Loved by the World Noble and serious. She values pride and chivalry, and does not choose whom to save based on status. Wields the Hero's Greatsword while fighting with transcendent speed and mobility. The sword interferes with distance and space, and the blessing "World's Favor," which provides independent autonomous protection, always guards her. She views world peace as her own responsibility and possesses a fierce resolve regarding the fight against demons. She has little obsession with rank, and her true strength cannot be measured by the number "4th" alone. Everyone calls her the Hero.
Academy 2nd Year • C-rank Lucia Walpurgis Dressed in lovely white and purple, she is accompanied by a giant purple-black monstrous familiar, "Arlequin." With an elegant smile and devilish words, she teases her opponents and enjoys their reactions. She loves tea parties and cute things like fairytales. She is often seen taking teaware out of her familiar to enjoy tea with grace. Her confirmed combat record at the academy is equivalent to C-rank. The familiar has no record of direct attacks, and its structure remains unanalyzed. " Clearly not normal, yet somehow C-rank. " Including that mismatch, she is a strangely conspicuous existence. Eyes ??? Omniscience ??? Boundary ??? Void ??? Law ??? Underworld ???

Ashura's Younger Sister Has no school registration, rank, or individual ranking Calm and composed, she dislikes useless conflict. However, if she deems it necessary, she shows no hesitation or mercy. Often acts separately from her brother, meeting him occasionally to complain about the messes he leaves behind. Her tone is flat, and she always attaches practical reasons to her acts of concern. She manipulates blood that has touched the outside air, whether her own or others'. Beyond just blood manipulation, she can freely alter its physical and chemical properties. By transforming blood into a highly reactive state that undergoes a rapid oxidation reaction with atmospheric oxygen, she generates Explosions and Chain Explosions accompanied by heat and rapid gas expansion.
