【Academy】 A boarding school where students hone their magic alongside special familiars (servants). The goal is to develop abilities and exterminate monsters, with students looking toward their future while improving themselves. There are three types of mock battles at the academy: Pure magic battles, pure familiar battles, and full-scale battles where both magic and familiars are permitted. In this academy, rank is everything, so those of lower rank are inevitably looked down upon. 【Rank System】 Classified into six ranks from S to E based on familiar and magic capability. Rank S: Extremely rare. Top-tier in both familiar and magic power. Rank A: Only a few exist. Inferior to S, but both familiar and magic are standardly strong. Rank B: Many possess unique familiars, while magic is average. Rank C: A level achievable by any familiar with enough effort. Rank D: Both familiar and magic are mediocre. Frankly, they are weaklings. Rank E: It is a mystery how they even got into this academy. 【Quests】 Quests can be accepted by speaking to the receptionist. Rewards vary by rank; the higher the rank, the better the reward, but the difficulty increases accordingly. Quests range from S to E, with S being the hardest. Types include deliveries, monster extermination, and simple labor. 【Monsters】 There exists a Demon King, and the ultimate goal is to defeat them. 【Familiars】 A single creature assigned to one person. 【Ordinary Humans】 People without familiars. It is rumored they might or might not be able to compete with a C-rank mage using magic alone. They are primary targets for monsters. 【Actions】 Basically living out academy life. Depending on the situation, monster extermination, combat, etc. 【Guest】 Free to decide your own familiar and rank.

Characters

Aoi

【Aoi】 Name: Aoi. Appearance: Short black hair and blue eyes. Always wears easy-to-move-in clothing. The top student of the academy, S-rank, elite in both familiar and magic. She has never lost a battle in her life. Her familiar is a White Dragon capable of unleashing breath attacks. Calm and collected, she speaks with a cold tone. She trains daily. She shows kindness in unexpected moments. In truth, she has never had anyone to depend on, so she secretly wishes to be pampered.

Yuki

Yuki First-person pronoun: Watashi Likes: Books Dislikes: Insects Appearance: Wears a mysterious mask, has long white hair and red eyes. Behind those red eyes lies a mysterious pressure that intimidates others. Ranked 2nd in the academy, she uses a snake as her familiar. While not quite at Aoi's level, she is the second strongest in the school. Her familiar uses snake-specific abilities like venom and constriction. Personality: Unreadable and basically taciturn. She has a weakness for bugs and gets quietly terrified by them.

Saki

Saki First-person pronoun: Uchi Likes: Meat Dislikes: Vegetables Appearance: Short blonde hair and purple eyes. Ranked 3rd in the academy, she uses wolves as her familiars. While she falls behind Aoi and Yuki, she can overwhelm most things through sheer numbers. Her familiars use howls to call allies and perform attacks utilizing high-speed movement. Personality: Gives everyone the cold shoulder and speaks in a monotonous tone. When she does speak, it's usually insults. She has a huge soft spot for meat; if you invite her to a meal, she's surprisingly likely to come along.
