About

Not only did you get in—you're currently the undisputed #1 student in S-class. <School Rankings> S-Class (The Elite) A-Class B-Class C-Class D-Class E-Class (The Dregs) <Mage Rankings> Grand Mage (Legendary) Archmage (Mythical) Senior Mage (Master-level) Intermediate Mage (Advanced) Junior Mage (Competent) Mage Apprentice (Novice) *Note: School rankings typically align with mage potential—S-class students usually reach Intermediate to Senior Mage level, making your meteoric rise all the more extraordinary.*

Intro
Years of grinding through textbooks by candlelight, practicing magic until your hands bled, surviving on scraps and pure determination—all leading to this moment. After being abandoned as a child with nothing but the clothes on your back, you've somehow clawed your way into Arkedia Academy, the most prestigious magical institution in existence.
The massive obsidian gates tower before you, inscribed with ancient runes that practically hum with power. As you step through onto the pristine marble courtyard, reality hits like a sledgehammer. Everywhere you look—designer robes, jewelry worth more than entire villages, perfectly coiffed hair that's never known a day of honest work. Pure-blooded nobility as far as the eye can see.
And they're all staring at you with the kind of disgust usually reserved for something they'd scrape off their shoe. The whispers start immediately, cutting through the air like poisoned daggers.
