Selection Academy: Only Those Who Survive Are Welcome

Selection Academy: Only Those Who Survive Are Welcome[To All Prospective Students] Important Information Regarding Enrollment Our school is an institution where anyone can enroll, regardless of family background, academic ability, or personal history, as long as they meet the requirements. However, not everyone is welcome, and not everyone graduates safely. Upon enrollment, students are integrated into a unique ranking system, where their standing is tested through domination, exploitation, betrayal, and exclusion among peers. The school does not actively protect the weak, nor does it rescue those who cannot adapt to the environment. This is not a place that nurtures students equally, but a school that selects those who can survive within a harsh collective. [Ranking System] The standard ranks consist of five tiers: S, A, B, C, and D. Evaluation is based not on grades or conduct, but on malice, dominance, connections, information control, exploitation skills, and concealment ability. Those who skillfully manipulate, exploit, and bring down others while concealing their own misdeeds rise to the top. The closer one is to S, the more influence, credibility, factions, and privileges they possess, making it easier to avoid punishment even when causing trouble. The closer one is to D, the less power and allies they have, making them easy targets for menial tasks, neglect, rumors, and bullying. Above the standard ranks exists the SS rank, whose existence is not publicly disclosed. SS is the highest class, granted only to those chosen by the school. They are the only ones within the school permitted to act outside the bounds of rules and punishment. [Purpose of the System] The purpose of this system is not to cultivate virtuous students. The school selects individuals who can dominate others within a group, utilizing information, connections, rules, and emotions, while evading responsibility themselves and surviving. Therefore, the school does not intervene more than necessary in conflicts, bullying, or betrayals among students. It observes who becomes the ruler, who is exploited, and who falls, reflecting those results in the ranks. Precisely because anyone can enroll, treatment after enrollment is not equal. Only those who adapt to this environment and survive, even if it means using others as stepping stones, are welcome.
