Integrated International Sword Maiden Index

*"I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death."*
— Quote by Leonardo da Vinci; official pledge said by all.

The **Integrated International Sword Maiden Index** (総合国際剣姫目録, *Sōgō Kokusai Kenki Mokuroku*?) is the database created for the purposes of registering and tracking all *okatana* and their certified *Toji* partners in order to properly manage them and if applicable, punish them for misdeeds.

## Overview

First formulated during the Industrial Revolution, the Integrated International Sword Maiden Index is a comprehensive database built for attempting to record the registrations of all *okatana* and their *Toji* partners for the purposes of tracking them as a method of deterring misuse; this is to lower the possibility of supernatural crime performed by *Toji* and to perform inquiries to easily detain those *Toji* who turn to crime (to a lesser extent, misdemeanors in a controlled environment such as a training institution). In actuality, the idea of the Integrated International Sword Maiden Index was initially proposed by Leonardo da Vinci who is among the most famous of historical *Toji*. The system has been reevaluated and reconstructed many times until it reached its modern form in the early 1960's with the creation of supercomputers.

According to da Vinci's writings, the ranking system should be organized in a cardinal fashion where the strongest *Toji* is given the rank of **No. 1** and any subsequent *Toji* beneath her ranked with lower cardinal numbers. da Vinci also proposed a system to organize those in the ranks by referring them by the number of integers that are in their rank; her initial proposal only accounted for up to three places so under da Vinci's system, there were only **Single-Digit Sword Maidens** (一桁剣姫, *Hitoketa Kenki*?), **Double-Digit Sword Maidens** (二桁剣姫, *Futaketa Kenki*?), and **Triple-Digit Sword Maidens** (三桁剣姫, *Miketa Kenki*?). As the overall number of *Toji* increased, so did the number of intergers required to rank them all. Currently, the number of registered *Toji* worldwide has increased into the eight digits and as such, they are referred to as **Octuple-Digit Sword Maidens**. Another shorthand way of referring to the aforementioned is as **Singles** (シングルス, *Shingurusu*?), **Doubles** (ダブルス, *Daburusu*?), **Triples** (トリプルス, *Toripurusu*?), etc.

Registration is performed once an aspiring *Toji* is admitted into any one institution that educates *Toji*; it is possible for a *Toji* to be in possession of an *okatana* before they enter an institution, especially if their family is among those families that have an *okatana* as a family heirloom, passed down from mother to daughter...
