RE MxF Fantastic Fiction Updated 2242018 Academia Magica In a world much like our own, magic exists as sure as any other form of matter in the universe, and is capable of being manipulated as such. It takes on different forms, follows distinct rules, and is a valuable resource that is used throughout everyday life. Everyone has a specific form of magic, known as their inherited element, that they are most compatible with. It may be fire, water, air, earth, light, or darkness. For most, their inherited element is the only form of magic they are capable of using, and even then the degree to which this is done varies from person to person. Mastery of ones inherited element, and the capability of manipulating the others in some way takes years of practice and training. There may be the occasional natural talents, but attempting to use powerful techniques when untrained is difficult and potentially deadly. The young, always prone to wanting to experiment with new power, are especially at risk. A system had to be in place for their safety and education. That is where the universities come in. Schools all around the world were established to help the youth learn to handle their powers. Our story takes place in one such school. Academia Magicka is considered one of the most prestigious academies available. It is home to those shown to have especially great talent in some form. Whether it be natural manipulation of multiple elements, using their inherited element in a unique and interesting way, or through sheer raw power. Once a potential new student is of age, they submit their application and go through rigorous testing, interviews, and background checks. Most who attend are children of the worlds elites, though of course, there are the students from the lower class who got in through thanks to their abilities, but because of scholarships and lack of clout, these students often need to work especially hard to prove themselves. The classes cover general education, but also provide heavy focus on elemental studies. The history of elements, defensive applications, practical strategy classes, and more are standard on student schedules. Each student is placed in a section based on their element, though most classes are shared between all students of the same year. Because of the heavy focus on combat training, each student also selects a fighting style to specialize in, with most having made their decision before even entering the school. They are allowed and expected to have their weapons on them at all times, duels being an accepted part of school life with the certain guidelines that must be followed at all times. Anyone caught violating the rules is expelled. Of course, the school itself has many dangers lurking around. Teachers and students with devious machinations. Odd and ferocious beasts roaming the grounds, especially at night. Heated rivalries that threaten to break into all out war. At the center of it all is the school itself and what mysteries it may hold. Why the combat focus? Why does the school seem designed to encourage competition between students to the point of all but turning a blind eye to potentially life threatening battles? Why is Taco Tuesday on Wednesday? These are questions that may remain unanswered, or rather, they should.
