Luna Grandis High Academy of Magic

――Magic has no limits. The only one who sets limits is yourself.

◆ Worldview: The Magitech Age

A near future where science and magic have merged.

In this world, a special energy called "Mana Particles" exists, influencing all matter and life.

Through the study of mana particles, humanity has developed magic engines, anti-gravity devices, advanced weaponry, and magical techniques, building an unprecedented civilization.

However, the methods of utilizing mana particles vary greatly by nation and research institution.

Various technical systems exist, such as "Magical Engineering" (controlling mana through machines), "Thaumaturgy" (humans constructing spells themselves), and "Astral Armor" (expanding physical capabilities).

To master these respective technologies, unique higher education institutions have been established worldwide.

One of them is the world's premier magical education institution—Luna Grandis High Academy of Magic.

◆ National Luna Grandis High Academy of Magic

A prestigious state-affiliated magic academy located in the magical research city of Selenia.

It is a three-year boarding school with approximately 2,400 students.

Symbolized by the massive moon-shaped magical device, the "Grandis Ring," the academy attracts elite mage candidates from all over the world.

The academy's philosophy is:

"Magic has no limits. The only one who sets limits is yourself."

While honing their magical talents, students study their respective specialized fields, such as combat, research, healing, and magitech.

While a strict merit-based evaluation system exists, student autonomy and creativity are also respected, and research into new spells that break free from existing magical theories is encouraged.

After graduation, various career paths are open, including state mages, magic researchers, defense mages, and magitech engineers.

Of course, academy life isn't just about studying and fighting.

Classes, club activities, dorm life, socializing with friends, romance, and school events—a youthful life typical of any student awaits.

◆ Magic System: Arc Spells

The greatest feature of Luna Grandis is that it treats magic not as fixed incantations, but as "Spells" that can be freely constructed and improved.

Students control mana particles through their internal mana circuits and spirit to generate magical phenomena.

An "Arc Spell" is composed of the following five elements:

• Attribute: The nature of the magic.
• Form: The shape, such as bullets, swords, spears, barriers, or domains.
• Effect: Attack, defense, binding, healing, reinforcement, etc.
• Control: Homing, remote operation, duration, automatic defense, etc.
• Output: Determines power, range, and duration.

Even with the same fire attribute, countless applications are possible depending on the spell construction, such as firing a fireball, creating a flaming sword, or generating a homing fire spear.

The strength of magic is not determined by mana capacity alone.

Through spell precision, creativity, control techniques, and tactical judgment, one can defeat even a higher-ranked opponent.

However, more powerful magic carries higher mana consumption and mental burden, and complex spells require high levels of concentration.

◇ Magic Attributes

There are six basic attributes: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, and Ice.

Furthermore, special systems such as Light, Darkness, Gravity, Space, Spirit, and Illusion exist.

"Composite Magic," which combines multiple attributes, and "Original Spells," developed independently, are also usable.

Creating your own unique magic is one of the great charms of this academy.

◆ Mage Rank System

Students' magical abilities are evaluated on a five-level scale: S, A, B, C, and D.

S-Rank: Astral Class

The top elites of the academy. Extremely talented students evaluated as having state-level magical abilities.

A-Rank: Luna Class

Elites equipped with advanced spells and practical combat abilities. They rank among the highest in the academy.

B-Rank: Advanced Mage Candidate

Students with excellent magical abilities who can handle practical combat and applied spells.

C-Rank: Regular Mage Candidate

Students who have mastered basic magical techniques and possess standard abilities.

D-Rank: Junior Mage Candidate

Students at the basic mastery stage. There is potential for promotion through growth or research results.

Evaluation criteria include mana capacity, spell construction power, control precision, combat ability, and research results.

Ranks are not fixed and fluctuate based on exams and achievements.

Additionally, combat ability and research ability do not always coincide. Some students may be poor at combat but show exceptional talent in spell research or support magic.

◆ The Four Specialized Departments

The academy features four majors, each with a different specialization.

Combat Magic Major

Focuses on offensive magic, defensive magic, magic swordsmanship, and practical tactics. This department is the heart of magic duels and inter-academy competitions.

Spell Research Major

A research-focused major specializing in the development of new magic, composite spells, and the analysis of ancient magic.

Support Magic Major

Focuses on magic that supports allies, such as healing, barriers, physical reinforcement, exploration, and mana assistance.

Magitech Major

Focuses on technological development applying magic, such as magic tools, spell mediums, mana reactors, and barrier devices.

Even if majors differ, students can participate in joint classes and collaborative research, sometimes working together to create entirely new magic.

◆ Major Academy Facilities

Grandis Central Tower

A massive tower rising at the center of the academy. It houses the headmaster's office and important research facilities, offering a view of the giant moon-ring, the Grandis Ring.

Selene Grand Library

A vast library housing countless grimoires and research materials. Documents on ancient spells are also preserved here.

Astral Arena

A massive exercise facility where magic duels, practical exams, and rank promotion matches are held.

Lunatic Lab

A research facility for new spells and special magic, equipped with advanced experimental equipment.

Star-Gazing Garden

A beautiful garden where magical plants glow faintly at night. It is a popular place for students to relax.

Moonshadow Dorm & Astral Palace

The living bases for students. Astral Palace is a special residential area for S-rank students.

Outside the academy lies the research city of Selenia, lined with magic tool shops, cafes, and commercial facilities, where students can freely enjoy the city after school or on holidays.

◆ Rival Schools and the International Tournament

Luna Grandis competes with two prestigious academies that possess different combat technologies.

Valhalla Gear Military Academy

A state-affiliated military academy located in a massive offshore military city.

Its greatest feature is the operation of "Gear Dolls," autonomous magical weapons in the form of human girls.

Students contract with Gears as "Handlers," fighting through command and tactical judgment.

They adopt a thorough "Spec-based Meritocracy," emphasizing weapon performance and coordination.

Gear Dolls are a technology unique to Valhalla and are not used by Luna Grandis students.

Imperial Verglanz Magic Knight Academy

A prestigious co-ed officer academy directly under the Alveria Empire.

Students themselves equip "Astral Armor," fighting by fusing swordsmanship and magic.

Astral Armor is magical plate that deploys in response to the wearer's mana, enabling physical reinforcement, weapon generation, defensive barriers, and high-speed maneuvers.

They value chivalry, pride, and cooperation, excelling in direct combat.

This armor technology is unique to Verglanz and is not used at Luna Grandis.

Grand Review

An international inter-academy tournament where the next-generation combat technologies and student skills of each academy compete.

Three different combat systems—Magic Spells, Gear Dolls, and Astral Armor—clash.

It is not just a battle for the academy's honor, but also a place for interaction with other students, joint training, and the birth of friendships between rivals.

◆ The Secret Sleeping in the Academy: Project Eclipse

The academy's symbol, the Grandis Ring.

That massive moon-ring is explained as a device to stabilize the city's mana particles.

However, it is said that records of a once-sealed top-secret research project, "Project Eclipse," lie deep beneath the academy.

The subject of research was "Primal Spells," an unknown power that transcends existing magical theory.

What happened in the past, and why was the research sealed?

And what is its connection to the inexplicable magical phenomena that occasionally occur in the academy today?

Whether or not to pursue that truth is entirely up to your choice.
