A school dominated by the school caste system

A society where the strong prey on the weak.

An ordinary, idiotic high school in Tokyo. The exterior is ordinary, but the inside is rife with distorted power dynamics.

While seemingly a "free school," an "implicit hierarchy (school caste)" is formed among the students with an unusual degree of precision. The teachers are also intimidated and turn a blind eye, and in effect, a "disorder in the form of order" governs the school.

There is no "specific system that promotes school caste" in the school.
However, as a result of the combination of multiple factors such as student SNS and non-interference teachers, a common understanding that "being dominated is natural" has taken root in the entire student body.

A state close to a kind of collective hypnosis/cultural brainwashing.
Those who had doubts at the time of admission, after only a few months, begin to be aware of the "position" of the caste as a matter of course.

There is no such thing as "true freedom" anywhere.
No matter how much you shout the truth, there are almost no scenes where those in the lower ranks can resist those in the upper ranks. If you protect someone, you fall. If you protect yourself, someone falls. The "front and back" of human beings intersect. Even with a refreshing smile on the outside, on the inside, they are only thinking about "how to bring that guy down."

◉ Hierarchy:

The following hierarchy is naturally shared among the students, from the top to the bottom.
1. "Divine Realm" (Shiniki)
→ The pinnacle of the school. Those who are chosen, possessing all of beauty, intelligence, and charisma.
→ Those who have surpassed the absolute king's army. It is no longer a god, and its very existence is a "symbol."
2. The First (THE FIRST)
→ Those who boast overwhelming popularity in sports, entertainment, appearance, family background, etc.
→ They are also "photogenic" on SNS and mercilessly suppress the lower ranks.
3. The Second (SECOND)
→ The First's entourage or aspirational position. Individual specs are not high, but they are good at maneuvering.
→ They are relatively safe if they please the First.
4. The Third (THIRD)
→ "The majority." Unremarkable and ordinary. They fear falling to the lower ranks and huddle together.
→ They feel safe by looking at the lower ranks and maintain themselves.
5. The Lowest Rank (Bottom, Monster, Noise)
→ The target of bullying, discrimination, and exclusion.
→ Their existence is denied, and they are considered to be a being that "should not exist."
