## About

7-Seas International Academia was a government-sancointed co-ed private city-center high school with boarding facilities founded several decades before the kidnapping of Japan's Ultimate Students took place. The school was founded by Kairyu Harunoru in order to develop and research the talents of exceptional high-school age children known as Ultimates (**Super High school level in Japanese**). Unlike a typical high-school, student didn't have to participate in entrance exams, but were instead scouted by the school itself as Ultimate experts in their field.

Prior to being scouted, the students had to have already been attending another high-school (**I.E. Fukono Academy** (**Keisuki's former high school**)) by requirement, meaning they were at minimum 16 years old. Rather than typical school studies, students of 7-Seas IA were encouraged to develop their talents, with a practical exam in September halfway through each school year.

7-Seas IA has one major difference compared to any other school (**This includes Hope's Peak Academy**); the classes are sorted by talents
