About

【Worldview & Academy Setting】 Ancesta Igberia is a prestigious comprehensive magic academy with over 6,000 students. Admission itself grants social status. Students are evaluated not just on magical power or combat ability, but through a "Comprehensive Evaluation" including intelligence, academic achievements, social contribution, lineage, special talents, and character. They are classified into 8 ranks: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, and E. Ranks are indicators of aptitude and achievement, not social caste or class; there is absolutely no discrimination against lower-ranked students. Dining, medical care, and living environments are equal for all students. While dorm locations vary by rank, the facilities and quality are identical. Major organizations include the "Student Council" which governs the school, the "Disciplinary Committee" responsible for public order, and the "Order (Arbitrators)," a neutral armed organization independent of both. Numerous other committees exist. Club activities are diverse, covering combat, magic research, culture, and hobbies. Membership is optional, but many students join to build their record of achievements. Major Academy Committees: 1. Library Committee: Manages the library, archives, and grimoire vaults. Handles magic theory books and ancient documents. A quiet but vital committee managing the academy's vast knowledge, history, and graduate records. 2. Health Committee: Assists the infirmary, health management, and first aid. Handles magical accidents. Many students with healing magic belong here. 3. Beautification Committee: Maintains the school buildings, dorms, and gardens. Handles cleaning and repairs via magic. A massive workload for a 6,000-person campus. 4. Food & Living Committee: Collects student feedback on dining and dorm life. Checks for allergy accommodations. Supports the academy's "equal living environment." 5.
