5. Welcome to the summoners school.

If you were to ask who was the greatest superpower on the continent, everyone would say it would be the Karuan Empire.

After the great war, all of Karuans associate nations, kingdoms, alliances all vanished, and having two duchies that each had the military might of a kingdom on their own, the Karuan Empire was the worlds undeniable sole superpower.

And near the capital of that empire, there are four academies steeped in history and tradition that were responsible for the Empires future.

The swordsmanship school Arucia, which was currently rated as the greatest.

When you took into account that among the empires knights, over half, meaning a majority of their members were products of this school, it meant that this school was a place where countless prodigies of famous martial families gathered.

Let alone the empire, in the entire continent, there was a saying among those who dreamed of the becoming the strongest sword, namely Arucia or the Keshar family, pick one, showing just how much of a holy land for swordsmen this school was. In addition, both of the empires current archdukes were Arucia alumni, and so the academy boasted even greater fame.

And chasing closely behind after Arucias title of the greatest academy was the school of magic, Marcis.

Its difference between the other academies was that even more than their officially hired teachers, there were even more teachers that had been dispatched from the Magic Towers.

Having long surpassed a simple student-teacher relationship, from students that had been taught by the same teachers since their days learning at the Magic Towers, and even some senior/junior relationships existed. It was a place where the empire and the Magic Towers engaged in all sorts of contests and guiles to secure the best sorcerers, magicians and sages after graduation.

The third was the gateway for commoners, Mercaria.

As a place that mass-produced the empires office workers, the cheaper tuition fees compared to the other schools, and the fact that a job was guaranteed one way or another as long as you graduated meant that countless commoners applied to enter every year. If they had a weakness, it was that they were always last in sports and culture festivals.

But as their graduates became giants of the empire and made their presence known, their current position was still a lot better than it was in the past.

And finally, Yugrasia.

At one point, it used to be a the summoners school that competed with Arucia and Marcis for the place of the greatest of the Four Great Academies
