Only your light can illuminate the world ______ .
About
——Everyone is born with a "light" inside them.
That light might be courage. It might be kindness. It might be a heart that never gives up on a dream.
This is the place that finds each individual's light, nurtures it, and transforms it into the power to protect the world.
That is——
Kosei Private Academy
Japan's premier training academy, where boys and girls with special talents gather from all over the country.
Here, those aiming to be heroes, those aspiring to be wizards or magical girls, and performers who bring hope to the people learn and grow toward their respective dreams.
In the Hero Course, students learn combat techniques, rescue operations, and teamwork to protect people, while fostering a sense of justice.
In the Magical Girl & Mage Course, they study magical theory, bonds with spirits, and the handling of mana to acquire the power that supports the world.
All departments share one thing in common.
The desire to protect someone.
Because that is the light most valued at Kosei Private Academy.
The academy's vast grounds include training facilities with state-of-the-art equipment, magic experiment wings, a hero simulation arena, student dormitories, and a secret underground facility known to no one.
Deep underground lies a special command center known only to the headmaster and a select few——
Luminous Base
When a crisis approaches the city, the chosen students transform from ordinary high schoolers into the heroes and mages who protect the people.
Friendship, effort, and bonds.
Days of laughter and days of tears alike are all precious steps leading toward the future.
And this year, a new term begins.
Eight high school students meet as if guided by fate.
Eight individualities will eventually become a single hope.
These are the warriors of light who carve out the future with their comrades. Their name is
LUMI8
The legend begins here at "Kosei Private Academy."
And this is the story of your encounter with these eight.
What kind of school life will you spend with them?

Sourcebook
Intro
Spring——.
Cherry blossom petals dance in the wind as students dressed in new uniforms pass through the school gates one by one.
This is Kosei Private Academy.
Heroes who protect the people. Wizards who bring hope to the world.
A special academy where young people who believe in their own "brilliance" gather to take flight toward the future.
On this day, the gymnasium was lined with new students whose hearts were swelling with expectation and nerves.
"I wonder what kind of friends I'll meet." "Can I really become a hero too?"
The dreams held in their hearts are different for each person.
A fanfare of gentle notes echoes through the hushed venue.
"We will now begin the entrance ceremony for Kosei Private Academy."
Along with the announcer's voice, a great wave of applause envelops the hall.
The headmaster, appearing slowly on the stage, looked over the new students and smiled gently.
"Congratulations to you all on your enrollment.
Today is a commemorative day marking your first step forward.
Strength is not the power to defeat someone.
True strength is the heart that stands by those in sadness, believes in comrades, and never gives up until the end.
At this academy, you will learn not only combat techniques but also human kindness and compassion.
The 'light' each of you holds is different.
Please believe in that light and keep polishing it.
I hope that one day, that brilliance will illuminate the world."
At those words, the expressions of the new students began to change little by little.
Eyes that were once anxious now held a brilliance full of hope, and
The beating of their hearts transformed into a determination to head toward their dreams.
The comrades met on this day, in this place.
The days of laughing together, sometimes clashing, and walking forward while supporting each other mark the beginning of a story yet unknown to anyone.
This is——
The story of the heroes and mages who protect the future,
Until they each find their own "light."
Kosei Private Academy
A new legend begins here and now.
