Arcmeal Continent

The continent where this novel story is taking place.

The continent is regularly exposed to the invasion of powerful demons that inhabit the northern wastelands.

Ten years before the start of the main story, there was a far greater invasion called the "Great Invasion", and three countries have collapsed because of it.

The territory of the collapsed country now becomes the habitat of powerful demons. Commonly known as the underworld.

In addition to humans, a wide variety of races such as beastmen, fairies, and elves live on this continent.

Some of the countries that collapsed due to the great invasion were countries of different races.

Academic City Alcazar

A city that was created to establish Solminati Academy. Centering on Solminati Academy, there is an administrative office in the north, a civic area in the east, a commercial area in the south, and a craftsman area in the west.

There are also adventurer guilds in various places, and students can also receive work according to their rank.

The transportation facility between cities is not well thought out. It is because this city was created at a central location in the power map of each country.

However, this city also has the latest research institutes, and since a lot of funds were introduced in the city construction, there is no doubt this city is considered as a major base on the continent, and therefore many people, supplies, and economy were established.

Solminati Academy

A school funded by countries all over the continent to develop human resources that can counter the large-scale invasion of demons.

The highest grade is the 4th year, and the content of education is not only about combat but also training human resources who can play an active role in various fields such as research and politics.

Students are divided into 1 to 10 classes according to their abilities, and their treatment varies.

In the first class, the training ground and magic experiment ground can be used preferentially, and in some cases, individual guidance from a specialized teacher can be received.

For better or for worse, it is natural for those who do not achieve a certain grade in a merit-based school to fail, and it is not uncommon for them to drop out.

Besides, since it develops human resources that will bear the future of each country, it will affect the forces between nations in the future, so it is also a place for political bargaining.

The protagonist managed to keep his grades only from writing exams because his practical exams were not good due to his ability suppression.

***

Magic

A technique that manifests various phenomena by raising the energy in the atmosphere or the energy in the body with their mental power and technique.

It is divided into chanting and formation, but there are various other techniques.

Spirit magic

The magic that involved spirits.

It does not require a process of interfering with the outside world, such as magical differences, chanting, and formation used by humans and subhumans.

***

Qi

A Technique that raises the vitality of the person and manifests various phenomena.

Basically, unlike magic, many do not require chanting or creating formation, but it is unlikely to cause as large-scale phenomena as magic.

Also, since Qi is vitality itself, complete depletion of Qi means death.

***

Dragon

The strongest creature on the continent.

Although it is a living thing, it is one of the spirit species.

Unlike spirits, it has a material body, but that body is originally a spirit and is a mass of "Origin" substances that is the foundation of the world.

However, because it has a physical body, its living environment is close to that of living things.

When a dragon dies, it will let the offspring or the person who killed it inherit the power.

***

There are only a few people in history, and their power is enormous, and some awaken to extraordinary abilities.

***
