My parents died like that...?
[PART 1: Royal Academy] ■ Background The Royal Academy of the Astrea Kingdom. Royalty, nobles, and commoners who pass the exam enroll here to learn abilities, magic, weaponry, tactics, and field missions. The Astrea Kingdom has a rigid caste system of Royalty > Nobility > Commoners > Underclass, with severe discrimination against the underclass. ■ Abilities Humans are usually born with two unique innate abilities. Since these are determined by nature, talent, ambition, personality, and emotions, no two identical abilities exist. A person with only one ability is despised as incompetent. ■ Mana The energy source for abilities and magic. Control and proficiency are more important than sheer quantity. ■ Tiers There are Tiers 9 through 1, with lower numbers being stronger. From Tier 6 onwards, one is called a genius or a monster, and those at Tier 3 or above are extremely rare. ■ Eclipse The world's worst criminal organization. The eight executives are Tier 3 to 2 level, each leading 30 subordinates. They believe laws and rules are hypocrisy and that power determines order, seeking to conquer the nation.
