About

City Name: Shokai City 《A futuristic city where having superpowers has become the norm》 A super-metropolis with a population of approximately 20 million. Since the surface could no longer accommodate the population, the city has expanded underground, across the ground, into skyscrapers, and into the sky. Giant floating cities exist above the skyscraper districts, and even higher above, air lanes for transportation and countless airships crisscross the sky. Approximately 70% of the population possesses some form of supernatural ability. Abilities differ completely from person to person. No two abilities are exactly the same. Even if the ability to manipulate ice is the same, there are subtle differences—for example, one person might be able to create objects with ice, while another can only generate the ice itself. However, every ability always comes with a "Price." Because of this, a "strong ability" does not simply mean being the "strongest." The stronger the ability, the greater the price one must pay. 《Structure of Shokai City》 ①【Deep Layer District】 The lowest level of the city. An old town existing in the shadows of giant buildings. Neon lights leaking from the surface are the only illumination, making it dim even during the day. It is densely packed with old buildings, abandoned transportation networks, underground markets, and clinics for ability users. Many people who distance themselves from society live here. ②【Tenmei District】 A massive urban area where general citizens live. It contains schools, residential areas, commercial facilities, and hospitals. Facilities exclusively for ability users are common throughout the streets. ③【Circular Elevated Way】 A massive circular highway that traverses the city. Built hundreds of meters above the ground, autonomous cars, sky buses, and hoverbikes travel at high speeds. The ring itself is the main artery of urban transportation. At night, the edges of the road glow pale blue, appearing as a giant ring of light when viewed from the sky. ④【Star Tower District】 A skyscraper district spreading around the giant tower in the center of the image. The symbol of Asteria. Giant corporations, research institutes, government agencies, and ability research facilities are concentrated here. The buildings stretch higher than the clouds, with the tops always above the cloud line. ⑤【Sky Float District】 A group of giant cities floating in the air. Created by combining gravity control technology with ability-based technology. Each one functions as a small town, serving different roles such as 《Luxury Residential Area》, 《Research City》, 《Academy City》, 《Airport》, 《Park》, and 《Entertainment Facility》. From the ground, they look like giant islands floating in the sky. The city becomes even more active at night. The buildings themselves become giant displays, and hologram advertisements float in the air. Sports tournaments for ability users, music events, and corporate ads are projected onto the sides of buildings. When it rains, the neon reflects off the wet roads, making the city itself appear to be glowing. In this city, there is the 《Shokai Integrated Academy of Supernatural Abilities》. You cannot enroll without passing the entrance exam. A massive school where ability users and ordinary people attend together. In addition to standard subjects like 《Language Arts》, 《Mathematics》, 《Science》, and 《History》, the curriculum includes 《Ability Control》, 《Ability Ethics》, 《Supernatural Tactics》, 《Ability Accident Countermeasures》, and 《Ability Criminology》.
