Ranking system

**Rank** (ランク *ranku*?) is a general system created by people to classify and categorize the degree of power held by races of Monsters as well as special individuals.

## Power Ranking Systems

### Free Guild System

A revolutionary system created by Yuuki Kagurazaka that was quickly adapted by the entire world for it's ingenuity. It classifies monsters and other hostiles by taking into account a variety of variables such as Magicule Count, Physical Strength, Defensive Capabilities, Speed, Skills, and Intelligence. Average rankings are often given to an entire species, with further reclassification being given to specific individuals based on special factors like the possession of equipment and arts.

* **F Rank** (F級?): A ranking assigned to those who possess little to no combat capabilities.
* **E Rank** (E級?): A ranking assigned to those who possess power equivalent to the average Human adult.
* **D Rank** (D級?): A ranking assigned to those who have power equivalent to a soldier, requiring a group of at least 3 or 4 average humans to defeat.
* **C Rank** (C級?): A ranking assigned to those who have power equivalent to or above an experienced soldier with professional training.
* **B Rank** (B級?): A ranking assigned to threats that have the potential to wipe out an entire village singlehandedly.
* **A Rank** (A級?): A ranking assigned to threats that have the potential to severely damage an entire town, requiring the deployment of several high-ranking adventurers or a nations knights to be taken care of.
* **Special-A Rank** (特A級?): A ranking assigned to threats that have the potential to destroy a small sized nation, requiring the deployment of a nation's army or a Champion-class individual to defeat.
* **S Rank** (S級?): A ranking assigned to Demon Lords and those of equivalent power, requiring a large nation's entire military and the deployment of their Champions to defeat.
* **Special-S Rank** (特S級?): A ranking assigned to threats that no singular nation could hope to stand up against, such as True Demon Lords and True Dragons. It is believed that such threats can only be dealt with by the intervention of a Chosen Hero.

### Tempest System

A system used internally by Tempest's government and used in their management of the Dungeon. It's a stripped down version of the Free Guild's system, using an objective numerical measurement of an individual's Existence Value –called Existence Points– to assign them a ranking and adjust the dungeon's difficulty accordingly.

* **E Class** (E級?): A ranking given to those with an EP below 1,000.
* **D Class** (D級?): A ranking given to those with an EP between 1,000 and 3,000.
* **C Class** (C級?): A ranking given to those with an EP between 3,000 and 6,000.
* **B Class** (B級?): A ranking given to those with an EP between 6,000 and 8,000.
* **B+ Class** (+B級?): A ranking given to those with an EP between 8,000 and 9,000.
* **A- Class** (-A級?): A ranking given to those with an EP between 9,000 and 10,000.
* **A Class** (A級?): A ranking given to those with an EP between 10,000 and 100,000. It is also referred to as **A-Rank Over** (Ａランクオーバー *A ranku ōbā*?) and is equivalent to Hazard-class.
* **Special-A Class** (特A級?): A ranking given to those with an EP between 100,000 and 400,000. It is equivalent to Calamity-class.
* **S Class** (S級?): A ranking given to those with an EP between 400,000 and 800,000. It is equivalent to Disaster-class.
* **Special-S Class** (特S級?): A ranking given to those with an EP over 800,000
* **Million Class** ( *lit. "Super Awakened Class"*?): A general term used to refer to those with an EP over 1,000,000.
* **Catastrophe Class** (?): The sole ranking used by Tempest that relies on Combat Power instead of Existence Points, reserved only for those with transcendent power that begins to approach the domain of True Dragons.

### Mutual-Aid Association System

A precursor to the ranking system utilized by the Mutual-Aid Association of Adventurers. It is extremely crude and imprecise compared to the more modern and scientific ranking systems, resulting in many preventable deaths over the years. It was abandoned completely after Yuuki Kagurazaka reformed the Mutual-Aid Association into the Free Guild and became the new Grandmaster.

* **Novice**: A difficulty rating given to tasks that anyone could do, equivalent to the Free Guild's F Rank.
* **Beginner**: A difficulty rating given to tasks that required some level of competency, equivalent to the Free Guild's E Rank.
* **Intermediate**: A difficulty rating given to tasks that required someone experienced, equivalent to the Free Guild's D Rank.
* **Advanced**: A difficulty rating given to tasks that required seasoned veterans, encompassing the equivalent of Ranks C-A in the Free Guild System.

## Danger Level

Danger Level is an older classification, separate from regular rankings, meant to classify the danger level of Monsters and Majin. Unlike the Free Guilds ranking system, it's classified by overall threat level and not just combat capabilities. Additionally, it is subjected to inaccurate listings due to political interference, with classifications of certain individuals being listed as a lower rank than what knowledge of their capabilities would lead one to believe.

* **Hazard-class** (?): A classification for threats that boast enough power to destroy entire towns and require the movement of a nations knights to defeat. Equivalent to A Rank
* **Calamity-class** (?): A classification for threats that could potentially bring down an entire country, usually possessing several high-ranking Majin subordinates and boasting a considerable influence. Equivalent to Special-A Rank
* **Disaster-class** (?): A classification reserved for Demon Lords, beings who possess enough power and influence to rival a large country, requiring a powerhouse nation like Ingrassia to stand a chance against. The qualifications to be placed here are strict, with individuals of sufficient power often not being ranked here due to special factors and to not make the public think that Demon Lord-level individuals are roaming the world freely unchecked. Equivalent to S Rank.
* **Catastrophe-class** (?): A classification reserved for threats considered too great for any singular western nation to handle, requiring international cooperation beyond the framework of a nation to bet on a chance of survival. This level is officially only occupied by the True Dragons, but behind closed doors there are whispers of True Demon Lords who possess enough power to obliterate entire countries off the map. Equivalent to Special-S Rank.
