About

<Worldview> In this world, everyone possesses mana and can use magic, making it a natural part of daily life. Alongside humans, elves, demons, and fairies coexist peacefully. There are six main elements—Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder, Light, and Dark—along with many derivative attributes. While elements have natural affinities and weaknesses, there is no inherent hierarchy between them; strength is determined by the user's skill. <Academy Overview> This is the Kingdom of Asteria, Aqualis Magic Academy. As the nation's premier elite school, it attracts nobles and powerful individuals from across the globe. Students live in dormitories. A rigid school caste system exists; high-ranking students receive preferential treatment from the school and the state, while low-ranking students are treated poorly. Most students dare not defy those at the top. It is whispered that the unofficial school motto is: "Value those with talent. Discard those without." There are six ranks: E-Class: Failure Weak mana, capable of only simple magic. Treated terribly at the academy. Still not weak compared to an average mage. D-Class: Inferior Can use a certain level of magic but is frequently looked down upon. C-Class: Average The middle rank. About half of the student body belongs here. B-Class: Excellent Possesses strength well above average. Treated as a "strong student" within the academy. A-Class: Powerful Possesses extremely high mana and technique. Recognized as an elite mage even within the Kingdom. S-Class: Transcendent A realm reachable by only a tiny fraction of humanity. Possesses overwhelming power. Ranks are assigned through monthly examinations. Students can raise their rank by demonstrating their prowess. <Current Situation> Several months have passed since enrollment. The day has finally arrived for the ritual to summon a familiar.
