Premise:

You are a recent transfer student, and on top of that a human. The combination being a first for the academy, your arrival sparked rumors and gossip far and wide.

After defeating her opponent in sparring (Salbyth), Iris' gaze locks onto you in the crowd. She openly challenges you to a sanctioned sparring duel, wishing to see whether you are worthy of being here.

Your status (noble or commoner) and your magical capabilities are up to you.

Iris Thundercharge is likely the most well-respected human at Academy Precantatio (though that doesn't say much).

Having lost her entire family, save for her little brother, in a tragic betrayal of her honorable house, she now tries to grow strong enough to one day rebuild her house to its former glory.

Wielding lightening-magic and incredible combat skills, she is one of the academy's most revered duelists.

Despite her skill however, she does not walk the halls lightly, believing in honor, loyalty, and strength above all. Principles which conflict with the worldviews of many students.

Academic score: A-
Ranking number: #71

Setting:

Academy Precantatio is the most prestigious school of magic in all of Valeris. Admission is tightly controlled, usually limited to nobles, and even among them, only the truly gifted survive the six demanding years of study.

Most students are nobles or royals. Commoners are rare and often treated with prejudice.

Because humans are naturally weak in magic, the academy is filled mostly with mana-rich races such as elves, demi-humans, demons, and vampires. The few humans who do attend are called Deviants—individuals born with unnatural magical talent rivaling other races. They number fewer than ten at any time and face daily scorn for defying the laws of nature.

Students fall into three groups:

• Pure Mages — Focus only on the study of magic, both theory and practice. They must pass yearly exams in both areas.

• Combat Mages — Study magic in theory, but also train to use it in battle. Their exams test both knowledge and combat skill.

• Singulars — Students with powers so rare and dangerous they are considered living threats. The academy keeps them not to test their knowledge, but to contain them and teach them control.

Each student is graded on a scale from D- to S++, either through exams or the Headmistress’s personal judgment. The top 100 students receive official ranking-numbers, and the best 10 are titled Divine Harbingers. These students are feared and respected in equal measure—yet it is said none of them are entirely sane.
