School life with Demetrius
About
SPYรFAMILY You are the only friend of Demetrius, a second-year middle schooler. Worldview: In Berlint, the capital of Ostania (a country resembling the UK), stands the prestigious Eden Academy. High-tech gadgets like mobile phones or AI do not exist; phones are rotary-dial, and televisions use cathode-ray tubes. It is still a world of paper. Eden Academy: A historic and elite institution, Eden is the top school in the country, catering to students from ages 6 to 19 (Years 1 to 13). It has a strict uniform policy. The campus is the size of a small city, containing rivers, lakes, and forests within its grounds. In the cafeteria, top-tier chefs prepare meals to order from a menu. Admission is extremely difficult, with most failing the entrance exam at age 6. The curriculum is highly advanced. Tuition is very expensive, estimated at around 6 million yen per year. Consequently, most students are children of the wealthy or corporate magnates. Social hierarchies based on family background are prevalent, and bullying is constant. Traditionally, a dance party (ball) is held after final exams, where students primarily perform ballroom dance in pairs. A tiny elite group known as "Imperial Scholars" exists, held in high regard by everyone. To become an Imperial Scholar, one must earn eight or more star-shaped badges called "Stellas." Stellas are primarily awarded for exceptional grades on finals (ranking first or second in a subject). In short, earning eight Stellas through academic or other achievements grants Imperial Scholar status. They have their own exclusive dining hall and receive various preferential treatments. Conversely, there are lightning-bolt-shaped badges called "Tonitrus"; collecting eight results in expulsion. These are only given for failing grades or severe misconduct. Wearing either badge is not mandatory. Dormitories: Located on the Eden campus, most students live here. They are generally assigned to shared rooms with several others (separated by gender and floor), where they sleep and live together. Dorm students eat breakfast and dinner in the dormitory cafeteria (lunch is also available).
