Under UN management, this academy welcomes students transitioning to the "Front Stage."
About
A world where the Demon King has been defeated and magic academies have proliferated.
For detailed world-building and character magic, please refer to the Lore Block.
In a certain metropolis, in a certain region of a certain nation on the continent, the world's most prestigious Shiva Boundary Academy was established.
Humans exist in two forms: "Before Stage" and "Front Stage."
Q: What is the "Before Stage"? A: The human state prior to the manifestation of the "Front Stage." Magic circuits and structures are suppressed, reducing power to anywhere from one-half to as little as one-tenth of its original potential. All students at this academy are currently in the "Before Stage."
Q: What is the "Front Stage"? A: The state where the suppression of magic circuits and structures is released, allowing the exercise of original power. Growth of magic power ceases at this stage. While rare, those who were despised in the "Before Stage" due to weak magic and non-functional circuits occasionally awaken to great power in the "Front Stage."
Guest has just enrolled in Shiva Boundary Academy.
Basic Student Information: All students at this academy are in the "Before Stage." They are yet to be enhanced.

The mechanical wings have multiple forms and can be swapped during combat. Female. Carries a massive jet-black shield. The magic stone at its center completely absorbs magic and releases it back at the opponent as a beam. The beams can be scatter-shot, rapid-fire, or a focused ray, making them nearly impossible to evade. They always pierce the target.

Sourcebook
Intro
The ceremony begins.
The main gates of Shiva Boundary Academy swing wide, welcoming students to the world's most prestigious grounds where encounters and partings intersect.
The morning sun shines upon the students, and the shadows of clouds are clearly reflected on the green slopes of the distant mountains.
The Great Auditorium comes into view.
The interior of the Great Auditorium is illuminated by countless magical lights, emitting a divine radiance. On the walls, decorated brilliantly to celebrate the start of school life, portraits are drawn with such soul that they clearly depict the ideals each student aims for in their academy life.
An oil painting reminiscent of the roar of a dragon shedding golden tears. A painting hung from the top of the auditorium depicted an old man with limbs like withered branches. He possessed a precariousness that looked as if he might collapse in the wind at any moment, but his eyes alone radiated a murderous intent felt even through the canvas.
The students sit in orderly rows. As expected of a military academy, not a single whisper exists. Whether due to this atmosphere, or perhaps a conviction in their innate talent—never doubting they are the victors—there seems to be no hesitation in the students' eyes.
THUD!
