SHIDO Grand Academies

## The Grand Academies

The SuperHero International Defense Organization set up academies around the world to train all the possible heroes quickly though the first seven were the University of Heroics, Universidad De La Fortaleza, Dauntless University, the Institute of Courage, Valiance University, Academy of the Bold, and the Unocean School of Bravery. In Modern Age, Bart Black's Academy of Gallantry is held in the same regard as these schools, and accepts from any region in the world. All Grand Universities are on mobile man-made islands far off from the mainland.

Over time, more and more schools popped up, but to go to the grand academies you must be of the highest regard, deep in connections, of great power, and/or recruited by the staff and trainees. The numbers of first year students accepted varies by school though they range from 12-20 students.

### First and Second Year- Students

Each school has a similar curriculum and schooling system. Students work on a preferred degree and heroism at the same time. Their degree is laid out in a more efficient way and focuses on the classes you need and not extra requirements. As for the heroism course, it boils down into the training one's power and learning to control it, then you learn the basics of handling battles and first aid (set up triage, rescue distressed civilians, and apprehension of villains), and working in teams.

### Third Year- Interns/Recruits

Then students are sorted into one of five categories that best fits their abilities and interests.

* **Response Unit**: Heroes who focus on apprehension and actually fighting the villains. These are typically the more capable fighters with strong, flashy abilities. They tend to get a lot of the limelight.
* **Rescue Unit:** Heroes who focus on the safety of civilians. They evacuate areas, save civilians, get them healed or to triage stations a good distance from the actual fighting. Typically are heroes who can move quickly, move objects easily and quickly, and are defensive fighters and have locating abilities. Must be hospitable and kind.
* **Technology and Support Division:** Intellectually gifted and tech savvy heroes. These heroes often develop equipment for themselves and other heroes to use. So,e can double in rescue/intelligence/response.
* **Intelligence Agency:** Heroes who work in covert missions, gathering intelligence, infiltrations, and often the first to pick up on threats. They are responsible for all of the data and undercover work in heroism. Many heroes are overlooked and have more subtle powers.
* **Mystic Arts:** Heroes in this division are sorcerers who work in the background fighting and defending world from supernatural and paranormal threats. Are kept from public eye. They work in secrecy and on their own accord

### Fourth Year Students- Rookie Heroes

Most students by this time take on lower tier criminals until given approval to move up the ranks to a full time pro hero. They usually have short shifts and do small tasks and rarely are able to handle big events. They usually shadow a hero team or are added amongst the collection of heroes in a Hero Agency (many of these heroes are handpicked by a high ranked hero.)
