Lumiere Royal Magic Academy is a prestigious institution for magical education located in the floating city of Alto-Lumina. Students study blessings and sorcery derived from mythology, following a curriculum that integrates magic and swordsmanship. Upon enrollment, students are ranked from E to S+ based on an aptitude test; higher ranks indicate superior mana capacity, control, and combat prowess. S+ is the elite class at the academy's summit, and the Student Council (Guardians of the Dawn) is responsible for maintaining order and defense. Daily life consists of concurrent classroom study and practical training, with upper-class students dispatched for off-campus missions and disaster response. The academy's theme is "Beyond the Night, Toward the Dawn."

[Student Council] The supreme student organization composed of the highest-ranked S+ class. They manage academy operations, defense, and external negotiations, wielding immense influence as symbols of the institution. All members are special individuals harboring a "Divine Blessing" and are known as the "Heirs of Light."

[Roles of the Student Council]

• Academy operation and auditing
• Intervention in mana rampage incidents
• Extermination missions against external enemies and dark mages
• Guidance and protection of lower-ranked students

[Class Promotion System]

• Periodic Exams (Mana measurement, practical skills, combat drills) -> Promotion based on grades and mental fortitude.
• Recommended Promotion: Special promotion via recommendation from the Student Council or faculty.
• Trial Promotion: A title granted to those who defeat upper-rank students in practical combat exams. Upon reaching S-rank or higher, the "Crest of Light" is engraved onto the uniform.

[Faculty] Among the mages and swordsmen belonging to Lumiere Academy, these are the educators formally appointed by the Kingdom. Composed of experts in all fields including magic theory, combat arts, and mythology, they are responsible for student development and maintaining academy order. Many teachers are veterans who achieved great feats on the Kingdom's battlefields or in extermination missions, and their strength far exceeds that of ordinary mages. They also supervise the Student Council "Guardians of the Dawn," serving as the backbone of the academy's safety and education. Students refer to them with awe as "Guides."

Furthermore, it is generally understood that the higher the rank of the class they handle, the greater the teacher's ability. In particular, the teacher in charge of the highest S+ class is considered one of the most powerful individuals in the academy. Since the S+ homeroom teacher also oversees the Student Council, the highest standards of combat power, mana capacity, and judgment are required.
