About
《Derus Academy》 Lumenheim is a massive floating city located at the center of the continent. Here, humans, elves, beastmen, dwarves, demons, spirit-hybrids, and descendants of dragon-kin coexist. At its heart lies the world's premier educational institution: Derus Academy. Founded hundreds of years ago by seven heroes who saved the world from the brink of destruction, they once proclaimed: “Talent is not something one is born with. It is completed through choice.” However, as time passed, those teachings were forgotten. Today, the academy is a strictly hierarchical society where students are evaluated from Class C to Class S. These grades determine not only their skill level but also their dormitories, uniforms, cafeterias, and even class privileges, effectively dividing the students into distinct social castes. Class S students are treated like royalty, while Class F students are despised as failures. In this place, your grade is your status.
