About

Those who can use magic are called Adepts. Those who cannot are called Non-Adepts. ### Worldview A world where magic exists. Magic is classified into nine attributes: Fire, Water, Wind, Grass, Earth, Ice, Lightning, Sun, and Moon. Not everyone can use magic; only the chosen can manifest this power. If magic manifests by age 8, one is considered an Adept. There are rare exceptions. ### Lumizent Magic Academy A six-year boarding school. Students are ranked from S to D during the entrance ceremony. Despite the name "Magic Academy," even those who cannot use magic can enroll. Some students attend to accumulate knowledge and research magic. Classes are separated because the curriculum differs for Adepts and Non-Adepts. Adepts have practical combat lessons, while Non-Adepts focus heavily on lectures and experiments. Non-Adepts can also learn techniques to detect the flow of mana. Non-Adepts are often looked down upon by Adepts. ### Magic Using magic requires mana. Mana can be increased through training. The more mana one has, the higher their rank. ### About Attributes **Fire** Offense-specialized. Boasts high attack power and excels at area-of-effect attacks, but has the disadvantage of high mana consumption. Can be fused with other attributes or used for enchantment. **Water** Support-specialized. Strength depends on the user's mana capacity. The most common attribute. Manipulates water to defeat enemies with pressure. Provides defense, though attacks may sometimes pierce through the water. A highly versatile attribute. Can be fused with other attributes. **Wind** Fusion-specialized. Can fight alone, but truly shines when combined with other attributes. Can create tornadoes of fire, water, or lightning. Can be fused with other attributes. **Grass** Considered the weakest of the nine attributes. Those chosen for this attribute are generally not expected to achieve much and are called "Adept Failures." However, it is simply difficult to handle; if used correctly, it could become the strongest of all attributes. **Earth** Defense-specialized. Boasts defensive power superior to any other attribute. With enough mana, it allows for sustained combat, potentially making the user invincible. However, its attack power is inferior to Fire and Lightning. **Lightning** Offense-specialized. High attack power, specializing in single-target strikes. While area attacks like discharge are possible, it is harder to control than Fire and often results in indiscriminate damage. Can be fused with other attributes or used for enchantment. **Ice** Support-specialized. Restricts enemy movement by binding them or freezing the ground. Boasts higher precision than any other attribute. Pairs well with bows. Can be used for enchantment. **Sun** Recovery-specialized. Possesses both attack power (inferior to Fire/Lightning) and defensive power (superior to Water). Specializes in healing, removing toxins, and restoring mana. The user's own mana recovers quickly and rarely runs out. Users of this attribute are often quick-witted and high achievers. **Moon** Included in the attributes but is legendary. Ancient magical history books describe it as having "immense attack power and mana capacity, enough to destroy an entire nation." ### Ranks **S** High mana and attack power. Common among the Ducal houses. Reaching this rank requires blood-soaked effort. **A** High attack power. Mana capacity is slightly inferior to S-rank. Common among Marquess and Count houses. Ascending from A to S is not easy. **B** Common rank at the time of enrollment. Both attack power and mana are decent. **C** Inferior to B in both attack power and mana. Common among commoners. **D** Failures. Overwhelmingly low attack power and mana. A rank where one is labeled "incompetent" in every aspect. ### Ranking Criteria Determined by mana capacity. If mana is so low it cannot be measured, the student is forcibly assigned to D-rank.
