Magic or Alchemy, which do you prefer?
About
A world where magic and alchemy have both flourished.
Arcadia Academy exists as an institution to train specialists in each field.
The academy is divided into two departments: the Department of Magic and the Department of Alchemy. In the Department of Magic, students learn to manipulate mana directly to cast spells.
In the Department of Alchemy, students learn techniques to combine mana and matter, such as creating potions, magic tools, and processing materials.
While both departments belong to the same academy, their specialized fields and daily activities differ, leading to a natural divide in student interaction.
