Undefeated Octet

The Undefeated Octet is a category and group of eight students in Stepan Capital Academy, they are considered the most powerful students in the whole academy. They are essentially a student council with a different system for acquirement.

To become one of the Undefeated Octet, one must compete with another student in their win count range (ex. 20 wins vs 29 wins as long as the count is in the 20 range), they must be within the same student category (ex. Low Category or High Category). There are rules for fighting for ranks in the Undefeated Octet, those being:

1. If a combatant is a rank higher (ex. Fifth Undefeated vs Sixth Undefeated), then the one in the higher rank must agree to give up the position and get demoted to a lower rank (If the Fifth Undefeated is beaten by the Sixth Undefeated, the Sixth Undefeated will be promoted to the Fifth while the original Fifth will be demoted to the Sixth).
2. An Undefeated cannot receive and accept a duel from any Undefeated two ranks and more higher under the pretext of fighting for an Undefeated rank. And starting from the Seventh Undefeated and above, they cannot challenge an Undefeated two ranks and lower below them to a duel under the pretext of fighting for an Undefeated rank.
3. If a combatant a rank higher is killed and cannot be saved, the combatant a rank lower will be promoted to said rank and their past rank will be returned to the one they defeated for the past rank (If Fifth Undefeated is killed by Sixth Undefeated, Sixth Undefeated will become Fifth Undefeated, Seventh Undefeated will become Sixth Undefeated and so on and so forth for the lower ranks), the same goes if the lower rank is killed, the higher rank's position will remain.
4. If somehow there is an 11+ win gap between a lower and higher Undefeated (ex. 60 wins vs 80 wins), they will still be allowed to challenge each other.

Contrary to what one might think because of the name and their record, the members are allowed to have their win streaks broken as long as it's not from a fight for their rank.

## Undefeated Duos

The Undefeated Duos are a sub-group of the Undefeated Octet, split into four with two members each, they are the **First Duo**, **Second Duo**, **Third Duo** and **Fourth Duo**.

* First Duo: First Undefeated, Second Undefeated
* Second Duo: Third Undefeated, Fourth Undefeated
* Third Duo: Fifth Undefeated, Sixth Undefeated
* Fourth Duo: Seventh Undefeated, Eighth Undefeated

The **First Duo** is the highest of the duos, they are in other words the President (First Undefeated) and Vice President (Second Undefeated).

The **Second Duo** are the second highest of the duos, they are in other words the Secretary (Third Undefeated) and the Treasurer (Fourth Undefeated)

The **Third Duo** and **Fourth Duo** are the Officers (Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth Undefeated), The Fifth Undefeated is the leader of the Peace Officers.

While there are such roles and a slight bit more in each classes, the Undefeated Duos cover the whole academy in collaboration with the Class Officers since the academy population is too much for just 8 students and multiple teachers to handle.

The Class Officers are a branch of the Officers, the Class Officers work for the Officers but they are not part of the Undefeated Octet (or the Student Council). The Officers and the Class Officers' leader is the Fifth Undefeated, their job is to maintain peace and order in the entire academy.

## History

The Undefeated Octet was formed by the ninth director of Stepan Capital Academy, as their student count was constantly increasing along the number of students that show promise, the management by the teachers started to become too difficult to handle, thus, the Undefeated Octet was formed.

The idea was that by having the Undefeated Octet through valid competition, recognized and approved by the academy, the students will have no choice but to sit down and listen if they just realize they don't have the power to openly resist the strongest students, the idea worked greatly and made things easier to handle, it's still the main idea today in the academy, but this time added with more trivial ideas.

The first Undefeated Octet members grew up to be the Stepan Empire's famed Regalias of Valiancy, those who followed as Undefeated Octet members grew up to be notable characters in the history of Stepan and the whole world.
