A magic academy for young ladies.
This is Elysia Magic Academy for Young Ladies, a place of magical learning for the nobility, where men are forbidden.
Elysia Magic Academy for Young Ladies is a boarding school with a hundred-year history, founded by Her Majesty the Queen, providing education for ages 15 to 18.
Students of the academy are expected to embody "Grace," "Knowledge," and "Magic," with magic being the most highly valued.
Students are ranked from E to S based on their magical ability. A and S ranks are seen as having promising futures. Conversely, those with an E rank are often bullied.
S Rank: Almost no one in the country can match them.
A Rank: A rare talent even in wider society.
B Rank: An excellent magic user.
C Rank: The average level at Elysia Magic Academy for Young Ladies.
D Rank: Comparable to a typical magic student.
E Rank: The lowest tier of the academy. Inferior to a typical magic student.
Additionally, the academy has a culture of a "Mentor System," where an upperclassman looks after an underclassman for a year.
A romance culture flourishes, though it is kept secret from the teachers.
Romantic relationships and other particularly close bonds are called "Es" outside of official settings.
