The academy halls buzzed with excitement. Overnight, a new ranking system had been announced, and now, everything in the school would be determined by power level.

Classes. Dorms. Resources. Even social status.

Students were to be divided according to their ability ranks, and those at the top would receive privileges beyond imagination. Those at the bottom? They would be nothing.

Leo knew what this meant for him.

Still, he forced himself to attend the morning assembly, ignoring the bruises on his body and the burning shame from yesterday’s humiliation.

But as soon as he stepped onto the academy grounds, the mockery began.

"Look, it's the F-Rank loser!"

"I heard they’re giving the F-ranks scraps for lunch now. Guess it suits them."

"Should he even be allowed to stand here? This is for warriors, not failures."

Leo clenched his fists but kept walking. He had no one to turn to, no home to return to. This school was the only place he had.

He had to endure.

The Announcement

At the center of the academy courtyard, a massive ranking pillar had been erected overnight. The headmaster, a towering figure with an SS-rank ability, stood before the gathered students.

"Today marks a new era," the headmaster announced. "The world is ruled by power, and so shall our academy. From now on, your status, education, and treatment will be determined by your ability rank."

He gestured toward the ranking pillar. Golden letters shimmered, displaying the rankings and the privileges attached to them.

New Academy System

Private training facilities

Access to forbidden techniques

Personalized mentorship from world-class warriors

First pick of missions and treasures

🟠 S-Rank & A-Rank (High Tier)

🟡 B-Rank & C-Rank (Mid-Tier)

🔵 F-Rank (Bottom Tier)

No dorms (forced to sleep in the open)

No combat training (only theoretical lessons)

No weapons or gear

No participation in tournaments

Leo's stomach dropped as he read the last part.

No dorms? No training?

They were basically throwing F-ranks away like trash.

The crowd erupted into cheers as the rankings were announced. Those in the upper tiers celebrated. The B-ranks and C-ranks breathed sighs of relief. The D-ranks and E-ranks grumbled but knew they could survive.

But the F-ranks?

They were staring at a death sentence.

Targeted Humiliation

"Alright, let's start sorting you all!" the headmaster declared. "Step forward when your name is called!"

One by one, students stepped forward, their power levels displayed on the ranking pillar.

Sophia, still clinging to Ethan, was confirmed as a B-rank. She pouted but accepted it. Ethan, of course, smirked when he was revealed as an A-rank.

Then—

"Leo Carter."

A hush fell over the crowd.

Everyone knew what was coming.

Leo stepped forward, his heart pounding. He already knew, but still—

The pillar lit up.

F-RANK.

For a moment, silence.

Then—

Laughter.

It started with a few whispers. Then snickers. Then full-blown howls of amusement.

"Of course! The F-rank trash stays at the bottom!"

"He doesn’t even belong here!"

"Hey, Leo! I hope you brought a tent because you don’t have a dorm anymore!"

Even some teachers shook their heads in disappointment.

But the worst part?

Ethan stepped forward, still grinning.

"Tsk, tsk. F-rank, huh?" He pretended to sigh. "I was going to offer you a spot as my servant, but I don’t even think you’d be good enough for that."

More laughter.

Sophia smirked. "Leo, be honest, are you even trying? Or is being weak just in your blood?"

Leo’s fists shook, but he stayed silent.

The headmaster barely spared him a glance. "Leo Carter, from today onward, you will be stripped of all academy resources. As an F-rank, you are considered non-combatant."

Non-combatant.

It was the same as saying: you don’t belong here.

---

Rock Bottom

By the time night fell, Leo had lost everything.

His room? Taken.

His training access? Revoked.

His meals? Reduced to leftovers.

His status? Beyond ruined.

With nowhere else to go, he sat alone on the academy grounds, his stomach growling, his body aching, his mind numb.

He had nothing.

Not a family. Not a home. Not even his dignity.

And as if the universe wanted to crush him further—

Rain started to fall.

Leo sat there, drenched, staring at the sky.

Was this it?

Was this all he was meant to be?

A failure?

A joke?

A nobody?

But then…

A Flicker of Power

[ SSS-Rank Ability Detected. ]

A pulse.

A spark deep inside him.

Different from before.

Leo felt happy, he wanted to show to the world he was back but the minute he felt the power, it disappeared again.

And just like that he was back to being a nobody.

An F.

A fucker!

  • Chapte 11: The Edge of Awakening

    ***************** Day Before ***************** All around the school, everyone was talking about Leo Carter—about his sudden ability and how strong he had become. Many whispered that he would only grow more powerful, stronger than anyone had expected. But others still doubted. How could an F-rank student possibly become that strong overnight? Rumors spun in every hallway. Some called it a fluke. Others swore he had awakened something ancient. A few even claimed Leo had made a deal with forbidden forces. But no one could deny it—something had changed. Leo, however, didn’t care about their whispers or the suspicious looks thrown his way. Their words didn’t reach him. His focus was sharp, his thoughts narrowed to one thing: revenge. He wanted every person who laughed at him, mocked him, bullied him—he wanted them all to pay. He could still feel the sting of humiliation, the heat of shame from being underestimated and ridiculed. Now, the tables were turning. Meanwhile, Ethan

  • Chapter 10: The Rise of a Monster

    ********************** [ The Training Grounds ] The Elite Training Hall was silent. Hundreds of students stood in a wide circle, watching in stunned silence as Leo Carter fought three A-rankers—at the same time. He was barely moving. One attacker lunged from the left, aiming a reinforced fist at his ribs. Leo tilted slightly, dodging by inches. Before the attacker could react, Leo’s elbow slammed into his stomach, sending him crashing into the wall. Another came from behind, swinging a sword at his neck. Leo didn’t even turn. CLANG! With one finger, he stopped the blade mid-swing. Gasps rippled through the crowd. The third attacker, panicking, launched a desperate kick. Too slow. Leo vanished. Before anyone could blink, he appeared behind the attacker, his fingers pressing lightly against his opponent’s back. "If I wanted you dead," Leo murmured, "you would be." Then he tapped the student’s back lightly. BOOM! The force sent the A-ranker skidding acro

  • Chapter 9: The Storm Begins

    ********************************************* [ The Academy’s High Council Meets ] The air inside the Grand Chamber was thick with tension, so dense it seemed almost tangible, clinging to the skin like mist before a storm. Towering pillars lined the circular room, each etched with ancient symbols that pulsed faintly with a deep, crimson light. Shadows danced along the walls, thrown by the flickering flames of torches mounted high above. At the center of it all stood the academy’s highest-ranking instructors and elders, seated in grim, heavy silence around a long, polished obsidian table that reflected their strained expressions like a dark, distorted mirror. Not one dared to speak out of turn. At the head of the table sat the Headmaster—a towering man with sharp, hawk-like features and an aura so overwhelming it seemed to warp the very air around him. His SS-rank ability made even the strongest warriors in the room feel like children standing before a storm. His gloved fingers tap

  • Chapter 8: A-Rank Training—The Beating of a Lifetime

    ******************************************** Leo woke up to pain. His entire body ached from yesterday’s abuse—his ribs sore, his stomach empty, his face swollen from the endless beatings. His fingers trembled as he pushed himself up from the cold ground outside the academy halls. It had rained the night before, and his clothes were still soaked, his body freezing. He clenched his jaw, suppressing the shivers. But there was no time to rest. The academy didn’t care if he was suffering. F-Ranks had no rights, no privileges. Leo had to attend combat class—even if he was nothing more than a moving target for the real warriors. The A-Ranks and B-Ranks trained separately from the weaker students, their sessions far more brutal and ruthless. Normally, F-Ranks weren’t even allowed near them. But Leo? He wasn’t just allowed—he was forced. Word had spread about the academy’s “new policy.” F-Ranks weren’t just useless—they were practice dummies for the strong. And Leo

  • Chapter 7: The Bottom of the Food Chain

    ******************************** Leo had thought he had already experienced the worst of it. He was wrong. Being an F-Rank wasn’t just a title—it was a death sentence. From the moment the rankings were finalized, the academy transformed into a battlefield where only the strong mattered. The elite students, those with S-Rank and A-Rank abilities, walked through the halls like kings and queens, their very presence commanding respect. And the F-Ranks? They weren’t even treated as people. They were prey. Thrown to the Wolves Leo’s nightmare began that morning. As he walked into the academy courtyard, hunger gnawed at his stomach. He hadn’t eaten since yesterday—F-Ranks were only given leftovers, and by the time he reached the dining hall last night, there had been nothing left. But food was the least of his worries. The moment he entered the training ground, a D-Rank student named Marcus Vale smirked and stuck out his leg. Leo didn’t see it coming. His weakened
