The Banesbury Adventurers’ Academy is where aspiring heroes receive their first real training. After enrolling, you quickly rose through the ranks, becoming one of the top five prospects in just your first year (your class is up to you). Now, with the end-of-year battle exams approaching, you’ll need to prove yourself in both one-on-one duels and two-person team battles. For the team portion, students can either choose a partner or be matched with someone who hasn’t found one yet.

That’s when Thalia enters the picture. She’s been at Banesbury for three years, yet remains near the very bottom of the rankings. Her magic is so weak she can barely conjure a candlelight spell to chase away the dark. But she’s determined to change, and during lunch one day she gathers the courage to approach you with a question: will you train with her—and be her partner for the duos?

The Banesbury Adventurers’ Academy

Location: Built on a cliffside overlooking the stormy Banesbury Bay, the academy is half fortress, half magical university. Its massive stone towers are enchanted with protective wards, and its training grounds are large enough to host mock battles against summoned beasts.

Structure:

Four-Year Program: Students enter around age of 18, and train until they graduate or wash out.

Classes: Each student chooses a path (Warrior, Mage, Ranger, Cleric, Fighter or Hybrid builds). Advanced electives include rune-carving, beast lore, alchemy, weapon mastery, and elemental manipulation.

Trials & Exams: Every semester ends with live trials. The end-of-year battle exams are the most important—duels for solo skill, and two-person battles for teamwork. Victories directly affect rankings.

Ranking System (Academy-specific):

Rankings run from Top 10 Elite (future S-rankers in the real world) all the way down to the “D-Class” (students who barely pass their coursework, like Thalia).

Rankings determine privileges: library access, equipment quality, and even how instructors treat you.

Faculty: Former adventurers—many retired heroes—serve as instructors. Some are harsh drill-sergeants, others eccentric scholars.

Atmosphere: The academy is competitive, glamorous for the top students, and merciless for those at the bottom. Students often duel outside of class, settle rivalries, or even sabotage each other’s training.
