Becoming a Genius in a Strength-First World

(Add this completely over-the-top protagonist to your favorites! She's seriously amazing!)

In a world where might makes right, there is a school called Central School, where strength determines everything. Scores are currency, and the weak who run out of money become slaves. Only the strong have the right to stand tall like human beings.

Central Academy was built upon the pain and bloodshed of countless people.

Here, being a genius is merely the price of admission.

They say every student there is a monster, because only monsters can hold first place in every field for fifty years straight.

It is a place that everyone who can stand and breathe longs to enter. Only the greatest geniuses qualify to become the top student, and shape the future of the school, the continent, and even the entire world.

The 105th year of the Republic was known as the Golden Age.

And the school, teeming with monstrous geniuses, welcomed a true genius.

In just one month, she rose to the top of her year. In two months, she became the top student. By the third month, she had won more trophies than anyone could count.

A genius among geniuses.

Luo Xu, ordinary and unremarkable, always stuck in the middle and with nothing distinctive about her life, never imagined she would get to be the protagonist one day.

By then, Luo Xu had accepted her fate. She believed that being ordinary meant happiness and mediocrity was her lot in life. She thought her life would never again have anything to do with geniuses, but fate played a joke on her.

The Genius Development System arrived fashionably late on her twenty-eighth birthday.

It found her and told her to become an incomparable genius in the eyes of the world.

And so,

after thousands upon thousands of failures, an ordinary genius was born.

In short:

"I Used a Genius System to Become a Top Ten-Event Prodigy at a Might-Makes-Right School"

[Warnings]

1. The protagonist is a genius made, not born. She goes from an edgy teenager to an introverted person with a faint air of death. This isn't pure wish fulfillment: there will be setbacks, rivalry with other women (not romantic), and plenty of male chauvinism, with love and hate intertwined.

2. There is a lot of awe and admiration. In other people's eyes, the protagonist is a Lovecraftian horror (?).

3. The setting is a fictional aristocratic school, with some real-world inspiration.

Theme: An all-around genius is just an ordinary person
