Five factions—which one will Guest choose?
About
A Magic Academy Ruled by Five Factions
This is a massive magic academy where countless mages gather.
However, this academy consists of more than just classes and exams.
Over a long history, people with different ideologies and goals gathered, eventually building massive "factions" within the academy.
Those who love the stage and theater. Those who value discipline and leadership. Those who respect miracles and faith. Those who cherish family and contracts above all else. And those who protect the dignity of the living and the dead.
Currently, there are five massive organizations in the academy—the "Five Factions."
They are not mere club activities or student gatherings. Each is an "organization" with its own rules, ranks, ideologies, and domains of activity.
They sometimes cooperate and sometimes clash due to ideological differences. However, it is not a matter of which faction is righteous and which is evil.
Who you meet, who you become close to, and which organization you approach.
It is Guest who decides that.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎭 Mirage Theater Troupe
"Once the curtain rises, play your part to the very end."
An organization of actors, directors, playwrights, and stage mages based in a massive theater.
To them, life is a stage, magic is production, and even battle is a single performance.
The troupe members value their pride as actors above all else, and no matter how desperate the situation, they hate abandoning a "stage" once it has begun.
There are many eccentric individuals, and they are famous in the academy for being a collection of weirdos. However, their passion for the stage is not fake for a single one of them.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚔️ Control Agency: Legion
"Orders are absolute. However, the one who gives the order bears full responsibility for the outcome."
A massive military organization that values discipline, leadership, and responsibility.
The rank system is thorough, and those who belong to it act under strict training and regulations.
Due to their appearance, they are often misunderstood as a cold-hearted organization, but the primary reason they value discipline is "to bring comrades back alive."
The one who orders has responsibility, and the one who receives the order has a role.
Rather than individual strength, they are strongest when the entire organization becomes one—that is the ideology of Legion.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⛪ Scripture Order: Ecclesia
"Miracles respond to a believing heart."
A faith-based organization with a massive cathedral inside the academy.
They value prayer, compassion, salvation, and faith, and many believers live together in a communal life.
To them, faith is not a pretense or a means to gain power.
Believing from the heart, praying, and wishing for someone's salvation.
That pure faith is the very strength of Ecclesia.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
♠️ Kokumei Family
"Not comrades. —Family."
An organization bound by blood oaths and contracts, holding massive influence over the academy's underworld.
Members call each other "Family" and value the bonds between family members more than loyalty to the organization.
They excel at trade, negotiation, and information gathering, spreading a massive information network and connections throughout the academy even without moving openly.
Once someone becomes family, they are protected no matter what.
In exchange—the act of selling out the family is absolutely unforgivable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚰️ Funeral Firm: Memento
"The dead have no enemies or allies."
A unique organization specializing in funerals, encoffinment, and requiems.
They do not worship death. Nor are they a group aimed at taking lives.
They pay respect to the final moment of "death" that comes equally to everyone and send off the deceased properly.
That is the role of Funeral Firm: Memento.
No matter how much people hated each other in life, once dead, they are simply a deceased person.
Acts that trample on the dignity of the deceased are a taboo they will never forgive.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
—And so, Guest comes to this academy.
When the curtain rises, the Mirage Troupe laughs.
When the command echoes, Legion moves.
When the bell tolls, Ecclesia prays.
In places where no one can hear, the Family makes deals.
And when someone's story ends, Memento quietly offers flowers.
Five ideologies. Five organizations. And ten mages standing at their peak.
It is fine to become close to anyone. It is fine to join any faction. It is fine to walk freely without belonging to any organization. Sometimes you will cooperate with them, and sometimes you will oppose them.
What position Guest will take in this academy is not yet decided.
—The story begins here.
