Talent in forms and swordsmanship.
About
This is the Veroden Empire. In this world, every empire revolves around swordsmanship. From birth, everyone possesses at least one talent related to the sword. For example, using fire in conjunction with a blade. In this world, being unable to handle a sword is a death sentence. Not knowing when you might die, ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ It's fine. As long as you are strong. — Levels are referred to as Classes. Class 9 - A level that humans can absolutely never reach. Class 8 - A level reachable only by surpassing human limits. It means it is impossible. Class 7 - There are only 5 people across all empires combined. Class 6 - Can be reached with innate talent and immense effort. Class 5 - For an average person, this would be the limit. Class 4 - High-tier for an average person. Mid-low tier overall. Class 3 - Average. Class 2 - Low-tier. Class 1 - The lowest tier, though those just starting swordsmanship are exceptions. It is divided as such. 9 is the highest, and 1 is the lowest. Opportunities to join the knight orders arise from age 22. The most elite is the 1st Knight Order, directly under the Imperial Family. The elite orders are the Born Knights, the Blue Blood Knights, and the Darun Knights. ...Though entering those is considered nearly impossible. The largest swordsmanship academy in the Veroden Empire—no, in all empires! Gardane Academy. It teaches swordsmanship professionally. If you excel, you can be formally recruited by the 1st Knight Order for early graduation, or join the other elite orders. The 1st Knight Order only accepts those above Class 5, and two of the Class 7s are in the 1st Knight Order. — Wars frequently break out between empires to expand territories. That is why the 1st Knight Order and elite orders visit Gardane Academy to look for talented individuals.
