Ryan looked at his new pair of cufflinks.
It was the same pair of cufflinks he got immediately after beating up more than half of the first-year students.
It had been upgraded from 9-ct yellow gold to palladium-made cufflinks.
In this academy, the ranking system was based on these cufflinks, as they go from:
Plain copper for commoners.
Indium for fallen nobility.
Steel for baron-ranked children.
Regular silver for commoners with high-level potential.
Rose gold for count-ranked children.
Yellow gold for merchants and rich kids.
White gold for a Marquess or a Marchioness child.
Platinum for the future successor of a dukedom.
Sterling silver for the princess' fiance.
Rhodium is solely reserved for the prince and the princess.
