Regarding the Unveiling Ceremony.

It is an annual event.

Individuals with a Magic Capacity of 1000 or higher as of the autumn of their third year of middle school are designated as A-Rank Magic Capacity Holders, and their first Masquerade is showcased to the nation.

Both public and private television stations cover it, and recently, internet streaming cameras have also been included; almost all of it is broadcast live.

International cameras are also present, and some of those are live.

In short, it is an event that attracts attention from all over the world.

There are 10 A-Rank Magic Capacity Holders this year.

For the past few years, the number had stayed at five, so this is a sudden increase.

Because of this, people are calling it a “bountiful harvest” or a “golden year.”

It is currently unknown if this trend will continue into next year and beyond.

By the way, globally speaking, the number of A-Rank Magic Capacity Holders has remained mostly flat (though it seems to be increasing very slightly), so this is relatively abnormal.

Now, starting from >4, we will introduce this year’s A-Rank Magic Capacity Holders.

Rank 2 Magic Capacity, Tomoe Morikuni. [Image] [Image] (Before/After Masquerade)

The princess of the Morikuni family, who has supported the front lines of our country’s dueling since the Goddess passed down the techniques of the Masquerade.

Born into a family where both sets of grandparents and both parents were A-Rank, she is a girl whose Magic Capacity already exceeds 2000.

Her academic grades are higher than those of many B-Rank Evaluated students.

A true talented woman and a thoroughbred.

There is no doubt that she is already viewed domestically and internationally as the next generation’s ace.

Her current Masked Form is a figure wearing full contemporary armor—including the helmet—and wielding a naginata.

Perhaps because she is so talented, she chooses to be steady and reliable.

Rank 3 Magic Capacity, Yoshio Fuchibeni. [Image] [Image] (Before/After Masquerade)

I’d like to say there’s no particular prior information… but we know his academic grades are good, and his behavior suggests a strong ambition to rise.

His current Magic Capacity seems to be just under 2000.

His current Masked Form consists of a black full-body tights suit with various golden armaments.

I’m looking forward to seeing how he evolves from here.

Rank 4 Magic Capacity, Hiyobi Kibitsu. [Image] [Image] (Before/After Masquerade)

No particular prior information here either.

Academics are average, and current Magic Capacity… seems to be over 1500?

His current Masked Form is formal military attire; the “mask” part seems to be sunglasses and something like a headband.

Who is the target audience for a pink-haired boy?

6: Anonymous Student

Rank 5 Magic Capacity, Kinji Tōsaka. [Image] [Image] (Before/After Masquerade)

A guy with a red mohawk that stands out like crazy.

His current Masked Form is a chicken-motif helmet and red full-body tights.

Rank 6 Magic Capacity, Moe Hitsujiuta. [Image] [Image] (Before/After Masquerade)

The blonde, fluffy, woolly one; so cute.

If you look closely, her chest is impressive. Cute.

When she Masquerades, she becomes even fluffier and woollier, looking exactly like a sheep. Cute.

Rank 7 Magic Capacity, Ken Magariya. [Image] [Image] (Before/After Masquerade)

A boy whose green curly hair looks like dreadlocks.

His current Masked Form is a dog-motif helmet and green full-body tights.

7: Anonymous Student

Rank 8 Magic Capacity, Aika Ōasari. [Image] [Image] (Before/After Masquerade)

A girl with blue twin-tails and a mean look in her eyes.

Her current Masked Form is a delinquent “sukeban” outfit that makes you wonder what era this is.

Rank 9 Magic Capacity, Makoto Tokuto. [Image] [Image] (Before/After Masquerade)

He has a buzz cut, but apparently, his natural hair is blue. Also, he’s a former baseball player.

His current Masked Form is a monkey-motif helmet and blue full-body tights.

Rank 10 Magic Capacity, Sachi Kamei. [Image] [Image] (Before/After Masquerade)

A cute girl with a boyish feel and short hair.

Her current Masked Form is full-body armor with a ceramic-like texture.

That’s all!

Thanks for the posts. Hm?

9: Anonymous Student

Good job on the posts.

The difference in enthusiasm is obvious lol.

10: Anonymous Student

Thanks for the thread.

For now, I’ve understood who the OP’s favorite is this year lol.

11: Anonymous Student

Wait a minute~ something’s wrong~.

You started from Rank 2; you didn’t write about Rank 1~.

12: Anonymous Student

Ah, you’re right. Rank 1 isn’t here.

Though I can guess the reason you couldn’t write it lol.

13: Anonymous Student

That was… a terrible accident.

I heard that because of it, they couldn’t broadcast this year’s Unveiling Ceremony in its entirety.

14: Anonymous Student

Everyone was just stunned by Mr. ‘Broadcast Accident’ lol.

15: Anonymous Student

It really was a massive accident lol.

A dedicated thread for him has been created and deleted repeatedly since the first day of school lol.

16: Anonymous Student

>15 That’s because there are people posting images. Images that violate public order and morals are an immediate “out.”

17: Anonymous Student

I heard the viewership rating and share at that moment were absolutely insane lol.

18: Anonymous Student

Fine, if no one else will write it, I’ll do it!

Rank 1 Magic Capacity, Naruki Midorikawa.

According to information from a certain source, his Magic Capacity is over 3000.

And his current Masked Form is… a naked woman! (Since this is important, I’ll say it again) A naked woman!! A naked woman who isn’t even wearing something that resembles a mask!! (I said it three times because it’s very important)

Furthermore, as you can tell from the name, the person inside is a man!

He’s beautiful both in Masked Form and before Masquerade Activation, but be careful not to stray from the path of righteousness!!

Dammit, why is he a man!!

19: Anonymous Student

Man, the high-pitched screams echoing through the venue were incredible.

20: Anonymous Student

People staring intensely, people leaning forward, girls covering their faces with their hands, kids peeking through their fingers, people looking away, people completely flustered.

It was total chaos lol.

If Public Morals Committee Chairman Maruta hadn’t been there, wouldn’t things have gotten even worse?

The teachers were completely frozen too lol.

21: Anonymous Student

>18 I think some people might feel it’s okay because he’s a man.

22: Anonymous Student

Man, those were some incredible bounces…

23: Anonymous Student

The lack of modesty is a deduction in terms of eroticism. But if viewed as a work of art, it’s a plus.

24: Anonymous Student

I wish everyone in this thread would just get arrested by the Public Morals Committee…

25: Anonymous Student

>24 Just give up; this is within the range of “letting off steam.”

26: Anonymous Student

I heard Mr. ‘Broadcast Accident’ didn’t show up to the first day’s Masquerade Class.

Information from a freshman.

27: Anonymous Student

Of course not. There’s no way he could. He’d be arrested by law if he did.

28: Anonymous Student

It’s common every year to have Masked Forms with quirks that require adjustment, but naked… isn’t this a first?

29: Anonymous Student

I’ve looked through a wide range of Masked Forms, and naked without a mask is a first in the history of the Masquerade.

If you look for “naked with a mask,” you can actually find a few.

30: Anonymous Student

I mean, is Rank 1’s Epithet already confirmed as ‘Broadcast Accident’ lol?

I get it, though lol.

31: Anonymous Student

After a screw-up like that, there’s no other choice.

Also, let’s head over to the dedicated thread soon.

Well, that thread is like a game of chicken; you never know when it’ll be deleted lol.

32: Anonymous Student

Poor Morikuni.

She probably would have had a brilliant debut under normal circumstances.

33: Anonymous Student

I wonder if Rank 5, 7, and 9 were intentional?

They’ve ended up looking like a Sentai team.

34: Anonymous Student

I wonder what names these kids will give their Masked Forms.

If it’s like usual, the official debut matches are in May, where the A-Rank holders fight each other.

I hope they come up with names that fit their images.

35: Anonymous Student

>32 She’s fine. She completely crushed everyone in today’s running.

36: Anonymous Student

>35 That was impressive. Rank 3 kept hanging on, but eventually collapsed first and looked frustrated.

37: Anonymous Student

Ah, the traditional first-class “Limit Running.”

Since we’ll be doing that occasionally from now on, it’s better to keep a record of today’s results.

Seeing the numbers increase visibly helps improve motivation.

38: Anonymous Student

Come to think of it, the sukeban girl at Rank 8 doesn’t have any kind of weapon. Is she just using her bare fists?

39: Anonymous Student

I wonder what would happen if Mr. ‘Broadcast Accident’ did that Limit Running?

I’ve seen for a year that there’s a visible difference in the distance A-Rank and B-Rank holders can run, but if 3000 Magic Capacity is true, Ms. Morikuni might not even be a match for him.

40: Anonymous Student

>39 Well, there would be some intense bouncing… sorry.

41: Anonymous Student

>40 Dammit, dammit… I thought of the same thing…

42: Anonymous Student

>39 Just when I thought they were being frivolous again, it was actually a perfectly reasonable point. Honestly, I’m filled with apology.

43: Anonymous Student

>39 This is why men are… I’m sorry!

44: Anonymous Student

>40-43 Aren’t you guys getting baited a bit too much?

M-me? T-that’s not true; I’m always calm and collected. I don’t react to things.

45: Anonymous Student

>44 Thanks for the concern, yeah.

39 To answer seriously, the person inside might succumb to hunger and thirst before the Magic Capacity does, and it’ll be over. I think I saw a researcher’s paper somewhere about the point where natural recovery and normal consumption balance out.

46: Anonymous Student

Eek.

47: Anonymous Student

Rank 1 is such a talent that it’s almost a waste that he’s a ‘Broadcast Accident.’

48: Anonymous Student

In that sense, it might actually be lucky that the person inside is a man.

Magic Capacity seems to have a tendency to be hereditary.

49: Anonymous Student

Actually, now that I think about it, I’m impressed that Public Morals Committee Chairman Maruta managed to restrain someone like that.

50: Anonymous Student

In this year’s unveiling, the attention on Rank 1 and 2 is so high that the presence of Rank 3 and below is fading, isn’t it?

Is this okay?

51: Anonymous Student

Well, in the end, whether you’re useful in actual combat depends on how you use it, not just the Magic Capacity.

Among past A-Rank holders, there have been some who just shut themselves in their dorm rooms; if it’s someone like that, I don’t feel like I’d lose.

That’s why the important part starts now.

52: Anonymous Student

True.

Most of the people posting here are probably the B-Rank group, but if you’re in the upper tier of the B-Ranks, you’d actually overwhelm anyone up to Rank 4 at this point.

As for Rank 3… I wonder?

Ah, as for the Rank 2 lady, I don’t feel like I can beat her even now. She’s clearly already a pro.

And in six months, if I don’t devise a proper plan, I won’t even have a one-in-a-million chance…

53: Anonymous Student

>52 This is exactly why the B-Rank group is chosen based on academic priority. It shows that power and intuition alone aren’t enough.

54: Anonymous Student

Now, I wonder how these ten will grow.

First of all, Mr. ‘Broadcast Accident,’ please put some clothes on.

55: Anonymous Student

I wonder what will happen to Rank 3. The top two are just so overwhelming…

56: Anonymous Student

It looks like a dedicated thread for Ms. Morikuni has been started.

As expected of a daughter of a prestigious family.

57: Anonymous Student

To any new students reading this, good luck with tomorrow’s Masquerade Class.

After Limit Running, it should be Limit Parkour.

58: Anonymous Student

Wha—!?

59: Anonymous Student

Classes at the Duel Academy are brutal. Now I know for sure.
