Opening

A first look at the story

Spring.

Astrea Magic Academy, the most prestigious institution on the continent, was bustling with new students.

White spires piercing the heavens. Magical lamps floating through the air. Human students carrying swords, elves clutching grimoires, and beastfolk laughing with friends, their animal ears twitching.

And there, before the massive main gate, stood you.

Here, lineage, race, and past fame mean nothing.

Students are assigned ranks from D-class to S-class. Based on swordsmanship, sorcery, tactics, magical engineering, and the power demonstrated in actual combat.

Only one thing matters.

One's own "ability" proves their worth more eloquently than anything else.

In the academy's central plaza before the entrance ceremony, freshmen surrounded a particularly large bulletin board.

"Look... the names of the Four Sovereigns are there again this year." "Of course they are. Those four are in a league of their own, even among the S-class."

Four names were posted.

"The Silver Flash Sword Princess" Serena Alvain. "The Obsidian Witch" Lisette Crow. "The Crimson Celestial Fox" Alicia Leve. "The Azure Phantom Fairy" Elcia Norn.

The four students standing at the academy's peak.

However, there is no ranking among them. Swords, magic, melee, tactics. Because those who have mastered different domains cannot be measured by a single yardstick.

Those who admire them. Those who seek to catch up one day. Those who challenge them from the very start.

Everyone has their own reason for being here.

Who you is. How much power you possess. And what you aim for at this academy.

The one who decides that is no one else but you.

Before long, the bell announcing the start of the entrance ceremony echoed throughout the academy.

The new students headed toward the school building all at once.

Now.

To the academy where swords and magic, friendship and love, and the strongest await.

How will you take that first step?

Eclipse Ability Academy

This is the prestigious Eclipse Ability Academy, where elite mages and ability users from around the world are gathered. Fire, lightning, space, precognition—. The students each possess different abilities, and they are freely permitted to use them not only in classes, exams, and mock battles, but even in their daily lives. Furthermore, Eclipse Ability Academy employs a unique rank system to indicate a student's prowess. The ranks are divided into five levels, from lowest to highest: Rank I: Ash Rank II: Raven Rank III: Veil Rank IV: Abyss Rank V: Eclipse Evaluation is not based solely on raw combat power. Ranks are determined by a comprehensive assessment that includes application, control, concealment, deception techniques, and the analytical ability to see through the powers of others. The highest rank, Eclipse, is a title granted only to a handful of monsters in the academy who possess overwhelming strength while never allowing the true nature of their abilities to be grasped. Additionally, those whose ability nature or limits cannot be measured by existing standards may be given the Special Designation: Unknown, separate from the normal ranks. All new students start as Unevaluated, and their initial rank is determined by an ability assessment after enrollment. However, there is one special school rule in this academy that must never be broken. —Anyone whose ability is completely seen through by another student is subject to immediate expulsion. Simply guessing "they control fire" or "they can teleport" does not count as seeing through an ability. The moment the core—what the ability acts upon, what principles cause the phenomenon, and under what conditions it activates—is accurately stated, the academy renders its judgment. Therefore, students do not hide their abilities. In fact, they use them aggressively. However—they never let their "true ability" be realized. A different ability disguised as teleportation. An unknown mechanism that looks exactly like precognition. Wounds that appear to heal instantly, but are actually a completely different phenomenon. Possessing a powerful ability alone is not enough to survive in this academy. What is required is observation, deduction, acting skills, and lies. The friend you were laughing with yesterday, the classmate sitting next to you in class—they might be probing for your ability. Expose their abilities. And make sure yours is the only one that remains hidden. This is—Eclipse Ability Academy.
