Great Tree Ennunien

*For the character, see Ennunien*

**Great Tree Ennunien** (エニユニエンの大樹, *Eniyunien no Daiki*?) is a Spirit that acts as the **Spirit School** (精霊の学舎(まなびや), *Seirei no Manabiya*?) itself, a place where one can learn about the spirits and their history.

## Description

The Great Tree is so enormous that it stretches above the skies. Its trunk is as wide as the Demon Castle Delsgade. There is an entrance at the base of the tree, which leads to inner maze-like passageways. Past the maze, it's a large space with a spiral staircase going up, and a large door leading to the classroom.

## History

When Anos visits Aharthern and asks the Titi about his subordinates from two thousand years ago, they bring him and his whole group to the Spirit's Institution. They automatically enroll in the school and, eventually, pass the written exam (albeit cheating with Venuzdonoa's destruction of logic). This gives them the right to take the Spirit's Trial.

## Events

### Spirit Test

After a week of classroom lectures on spirits, Ennunien will give out a test. Those with the best grades can move on to the Spirit's Trial, and those who fail will be spirited away to take make-up classes. The test is particularly difficult because, rather than questions, they are more like riddles.

### Spirit Trial

After passing a minimum of three tests with an average of 80 or higher, one can take the Spirit Trial. If they pass, they will immediately graduate.

The first part of the trial is a test of luck. Participants must pick one of the twenty staircases, but only five will lead to the top. Breaking the walls or teleporting is prohibited. As they go up, various spirits will give them various trials. If they succeed and make it to the top, where the Spirit King resides, they pass.

## Notable Places

### Classroom

A place where students meet and learn. When the bell rings, the door vanishes, and students cannot leave during class. Ennunien will then emerge from the tree at the center to teach.

### Forest of Books

A vast forest whose trees grow books instead of fruits. The green books contain information about the spirits, and Ennunien's tests are made about the books.

### Room of Trials

Up the stairs is the Room of Trials, where everyone begins at. As they go up, various spirits will task them with many things. Students can pass if they overcome them all and make it to the top. The first trial is the Staircases of Guniel, where only five staircases will lead up while the other fifteen will lead them back to the Room of Trials.

## Rules

* Once inside the Great Tree Ennunien, you will be automatically enrolled in the Spirit's Institution. And you won't be able to leave until you take the spirit class and graduate.
	+ Food, clothing, and shelter will be provided for you.
* The use of violence to hurt or restrain others is forbidden. If you disobey this rule, you will be punished by walking the full length of the Long Snake Epiteo.
* Ennunien will occasionally ask questions about spirits. If you answer correctly, points will be added to your grades. Besides that, there are also tests and the Spirit Trial that will be graded as well.
	+ Students with the best grades will graduate and receive a seal of graduation, allowing them to come and go from Aharthern freely.
* You can still take classes after graduating.
* Ennunien will judge whether or not you receive good grades based on his long-standing teaching intuition. It is more than simply getting good marks on a test.
