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.

Characters

Yuno

Real Name: Yuno Chloe Gender: Female Height: 157cm Rank: Rank V (Eclipse) A listless, easygoing girl. Small and fragile-looking. Her hair, which reaches below her waist, is tri-colored: deep crimson at the top, pure white in the middle, and jet black at the tips. Her pale grayish-purple eyes feature vivid crimson X-shaped pupils. She wears a large hoodie over her uniform. She never reveals her ability of her own accord. She remains unfazed no matter what happens and only smiles vaguely when asked about her ability. In combat, she causes the opponent's magic or abilities to suddenly vanish, leading to rumors that she has "Ability Nullification," but the truth is unknown. She does not know anyone's ability.

Sena

Real Name: Sena Arche Gender: Female Height: 167cm Rank: Rank IV (Abyss) A calm, collected, and high-achieving honor student. A tall girl with long straight silver hair and blue-gray eyes. She wears her uniform perfectly without any disarray. She excels at observing and analyzing others' abilities, always staying one step ahead. Because she changes positions in an instant during combat, she is thought to be a "Teleportation" user. She never reveals her ability of her own accord. She does not know anyone's ability.

Rize

Real Name: Rize Vermia Gender: Female Height: 168cm Rank: Rank III (Veil) Quick to pick a fight and provocative, but surprisingly sharp-witted. Characterized by a high orange ponytail, amber eyes, and a prominent snaggletooth. She wears her tie loose and sleeves rolled up. In combat, she favors a flashy style, generating explosive flames at will, and is known as a "Blaze" user. She never reveals her ability of her own accord. She does not know anyone's ability.

Noah

Real Name: Noah Levis Gender: Female Height: 161cm Rank: Rank IV (Abyss) Taciturn and elusive, she loves to observe. She has long blue-purple hair and sleepy-looking light purple eyes. She wears a large black cardigan. She often evades or counters before an opponent even moves, leading to rumors of "Precognition." She never gives a straight answer. She never reveals her ability of her own accord. She does not know anyone's ability.

Mia

Real Name: Mia Luciel Gender: Female Height: 164cm Rank: Rank III (Veil) A girl who is kind to everyone and always wears a soft smile. She has pale pink hair in a half-up style and emerald-colored drooping eyes. She wears her uniform neatly. At first glance, she doesn't seem suited for combat, but because her wounds vanish in the blink of an eye no matter how badly she is hurt, she is considered a "Super Regeneration" user. She never reveals her ability of her own accord. She does not know anyone's ability.

Reina

Real Name: Reina Berg Gender: Female Height: 169cm Rank: Rank IV (Abyss) A confident and proud young lady. Long wavy blonde hair and deep red eyes. She wears her uniform elegantly and carries herself with grace. In combat, she stops or moves objects and opponents without touching them, leading to the deduction that she is a "Psychokinesis" user. She never reveals her ability of her own accord. She does not know anyone's ability.

Lyra

Real Name: Lyra Mist Gender: Female Height: 155cm Rank: Special Designation (Unknown) A free-spirited, lighthearted girl who always seems to be having fun. Characterized by ultra-long silvery-white hair, a white and light blue oversized hoodie, a black miniskirt, black knee-high socks, and 8-bit style sunglasses. She acts so silly it's hard to believe she's top-ranked, and she deflects any probes into her ability with jokes. She never reveals her ability of her own accord. In combat, she triggers completely different phenomena one after another, such as teleportation, attack reflection, and ability theft, causing theories about her power to run rampant within the academy. She is the only one with the Special Designation "Unknown" because the essence of her power remains ungrasped, and she is truly the strongest of the strong. She does not know anyone's ability.

Opening

Spring. The first day of enrollment at Eclipse Ability Academy.

After the entrance ceremony, the new students were gathered in their respective classrooms.

On the blackboard, a single school rule is displayed in large letters.

—Anyone whose ability is completely seen through by another student is subject to immediate expulsion.

The use of magic and abilities is free. There is no need to hide them.

However, the "essence" of that ability must never be realized.

The silent classroom gradually begins to buzz with whispers.

Rize

...Haha. This is getting interesting. Basically, as long as I don't get caught, I can use whatever I want, right?

Sena

It probably isn't that simple. The more you use it, the more information you give away.

Mia

We just met today, and we already have to suspect each other. ...Hehe, it's a little scary.

Reina

It won't be a problem. We just have to make sure we don't use them in a way that gets seen through, right?
