Tori Academy

## Overview

Tori Academy is a global school run by Mr Burkes, that guarantees 100% employment and college entry rate. The academy is on a massive archelon turtle with roughly 1500 students in grades 1-9, 102 teachers, and 35 support staff. The school year is two and a half months which means we have 198 days of no school and 258 school days. School days include Tuesday-Sunday, 6 days. The weekend days are Nuaday-Monday, 4 days. Also Sunday and Wednesday are short day's. Students who successfully graduate Tori Academy have the reputation of being guaranteed success in life, with many graduates holding high positions in every field of the professional world.

Unlike a typical high school, the students do not have to participate in entrance exams, but instead were scouted by the school itself. The only "entrance exam" needed is to see what class or department you will be put into, this exam does not in any way dictate whether you get in the school or not. From 5th grade and up, you will have the option of choosing your department. CA\*, math, science, and history are all necessary subjects that will be taken until 6th grade in all departments. You can change departments every 2 years if you want but it isn't advised. The departments are currently Combat, Lab, General, and Art.

The school does need to separate larger races from the smaller ones in the corridor so no one gets squished, which is why the floors have a painted line where the cyclops lockers are. In the dorms the cyclops are housed in the lower floors of their grade dorms and when in class cyclops are mostly in the back. It is mandatory that all students understand this and follow the rules.

All students, except honor, have a curfew at 10:00pm. In the mall each student will have their own points to be used in place of money when buying goods and services. Their grades will be turned into money, that is refilled every half month. If you run out of money the school will help you. You can only buy things with your points, not regular money and you can’t transfer your points to others but you can have someone borrow your card. You receive a card, which has your points and acts as a student ID, along with your dorm key. At the beginning of every school year everyone is given enough money to buy necessities for that time, everything else is from your grades. When you first enroll, you will take a number of written and performance exams. The outcomes of these tests will determine which class you will be in and how much you will be paid at the beginning of the year. If you get in trouble you can get a trefle which is then documented, when you get 10 you are expelled immediately.

\*(CA-chosen language)- there are 10 to choose from. \*

## Structure

The town sized campus of Tori Academy houses a number of large elaborately choreographed buildings. With the massive archelon turtle size as the limits this school is often deemed the largest school in the world. The school is split into a front half and a back half. Cameras in every building except dorm rooms.

When first entering, you will walk on a path that passes under a tall archway building, which is also the teachers' lounge, principal's office, and conference room. The path leads to the announcement hall, a huge circular stadium able to host 3000 guests within the seats. It has a red-carpeted stage in the center and 4 levels of carpeted seats for guests to sit in that surround it. The floor, when not covered with red carpet, is black and white in a checkered pattern. On the left side of this path, there are two large square buildings next to each other. These are the boys' dorms, and on the right side, you will see the same thing, but the girls' dorms. Both of the dorms have paths that lead to the three halls, Thunderbird on the left, Alicanto in the middle, and Phoenix on the right. There are two large doors on the back of all three halls. If you go through these doors there’s a large walkway that leads you to the five floors of stores, also known as the shopping center or mall. There are all kinds of stores from cafes, to laundry rooms, karaoke, salons, barbershops, to arcades. Behind this center is a small hill that leads to the Lab. If you walk past the lab you will see the Field area. The right side of the hill goes to the blacktop which also leads to the field. The left side of the hill goes to the farm which leads to the examination hall.

### Lab

This lab is filled to the brim of students building and creating new gadgets. Each student has a large room with frosted glass sliding doors that they share with at least 3 others or at most 7.

### Field Area

This place is used mostly for the children to learn how to better use their abilities in their certain fields. As such this place is the toughest room on the whole island which says a lot given how sturdy and tough the normal buildings are. This place is also huge as we need to fit all our students, including cyclops here. There are rumors around the school that say this building can survive a nuke, although those are just rumors, the field is made to withstand a number of powerful attacks and it may just be true. The stadium is an oval-shaped, open building that features a stand with three floors and several screens for the festival. This buildings ceiling doesn't cover the whole stadium the whole way and there is a large amount of sun in giving the feel that this is fully outside, however given the notice of danger this entire place will close down and the ceiling will close. The walls and floor can change to give different settings or obstacles. Within this field is 4 pools, three parks, 4 gyms, a fake city for training, and of course a huge open grassy field.

### Blacktop

This black top has multiple white lines that outline the 2 basketball, 2 tetherball, 1 soccer, and 2 Arunca courts. As well as a properly sized track and field track. This and the Field area are mostly used by both the smaller children and the combat department.

### Farm

This farm includes a small collection of cows, chickens, pigs, geese, and horses as well as actual farming fields that grow a wide assortment of flowers, fruits and vegetables. This field is surrounded by a small forest full of trees and bushes, perfect for different animals to live in.

### Examination Hall

This is a very large hall full of libraries, study rooms, and most of all large rooms full of long desks for exams to take place. This is where entry and midterm exams must take place to ensure no cheating or any other underhanded tactics take place. This hall has some of the best security in the whole school, only second to the dorms. This is to ensure that during any test held here there is no cheating, but as most of the files on both student and teacher are kept here, this does need the most security. As such unless you have an ID card you can't get into the building and without direct permission from the Principle to access the record room you wont even make it to the hallway where the entrance to the record room is.

### Dorms

All  dorms are named after constellations and, aside from honor dorms, have 4 floors with 100 rooms housing 2 students each. The 2-floored Honor dorms have Ursa major, the girls, and Big Dipper, the boys. The 1-3rd dorms are named Auriga, the 4-6th dorms are named Orion, and the 8-9th dorms are named Cassiopeia. There is an elevator to each floor or many stairs. It seems that the 1-3rd floors are under the most surveillance as these are smaller children and they need more chaperones. It is mandatory that at least four teachers stay on the 1-3rd floors including the dorm mother and all the students know that. All dorms have a dorm mother, so all together there are 4 dorm mothers.

The left building has Auriga as the first three floors and Orion as the top floors. In the right building the honor dorms are on the bottom while the other top floors are Cassiopeia and Orion. Each room has 1 main huge room. This room has more than enough room for two king sized beds and a space for a medium sized living room. This room along with a large bathroom, with the shower and bathtub separate, has a balcony that's as big as a queen sized bed. Once you exit your dorm room You will be in the hallway that leads to the large connected kitchen and dining space that everyone on your floor has access to. this is the same for all 5th and up dorms. if you are 4th and lower you wont have access to the kitchen for safety reasons. The honor students have their own singular rooms with a shared living room and kitchen.
