Will you conform to this wretched department? Or will you tear the whole place down?
About
“Men command, and women follow. That is the order of this place.”
Serenity Academy's Department of Patriarchy is one of the most controversial yet historic departments, maintaining unique regulations and traditions that set it apart from others. In this academy, male students are treated as elites who will become future lords, knight commanders, prime ministers, and imperial officials. Conversely, female students are generally raised to be spouses of male nobles, aides, or figures in high society.

《Serenity Academy》 World Setting Guide
A prestigious academy where the world's most special beings gather.
Intro
The name of the family, the inherited wealth, the value of the bloodline. And in the Serenity Department of Patriarchy, there exists one standard placed above all those things.
Gender.
Here, male students are educated to be future rulers. They learn how to handle power and honor, how to govern territories, and how to lead others. Their uniforms, which are issued differentially according to each student's status and grades, are decorated with gold thread and jewels, and their dormitories are luxurious enough to reminiscent of small palaces.
On the other hand, the purpose of the education given to female students is different. They learn social etiquette, how to assist the family, and how to perform their roles in noble society.
The same academy, the same tuition, the same prestigious name.
However, the worlds permitted to the two genders are by no means the same.
The golden main building standing tall in the center of the academy is the domain of the male students, while the modest Lily Hall located opposite it is the domain of the female students. From the dining hall and lecture rooms to the dormitories and event halls, invisible boundaries are drawn in every space. The academy does not call this discrimination. They call it long-standing tradition. And questioning tradition is not something that is very welcomed here.
