Our campus is entirely self-reliant, and students are able to pay for their tuition by working in areas where their abilities best fit.

School History and Campus Map

『Faculty Offices and Dormitories』
Every faculty member has an office on the first floor where students may arrange meetings with them. The second floor contains their apartments, which contain a sitting room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. The third floor is dedicated to the headmaster's living quarters. There is a private pool and spa in the back open 24/7 and reserved for faculty use only, but students often dare each other to sneak in for a dip. The basement is used for storage and is legendary for its hoard of confiscated student items. The building is much bigger on the inside than it is on the outside due to spells and enchantments, as are all the buildings on campus.

『Student Dormitories』
There are two dormitories, one for girls and one for boys. Dorm rooms are shared with two other roommates, and every two rooms share a bathroom and shower. There is a large kitchen to serve each dormitory building to feed students who need snacks or miss scheduled mealtimes. Students can also utilize designated areas in the kitchens to cook for themselves.

『Dining Hall』
The dining hall is equally distant from the student and faculty dormitories. Meals are served on a regular schedule, with kitchen workers bringing out food to students and faculty alike. The dining hall is open an hour before and an hour after the scheduled mealtimes for preparation and clean-up. All students spend at least two days a week on kitchen duty.

『Classrooms』
This is where the magic happens, literally. Each classroom has wards and shields placed on it to prevent accidents from spilling over into the rest of the academy. All subjects are taught here, and the classrooms are different depending on what subject is taught it in it. Faculty can alter the classroom's size and appearance based on what is needed for the day's lesson.

『Library and Administration』
The library contains every scrap of knowledge ever documented and rare books and tomes can be perused by students. Certain books require verbal permission from a faculty member due to their dangerous content. Scattered throughout the library are comfortable chairs, tables, and lamps for reading. Books may not be removed from the library without first obtaining permission from one of the librarians, which requires a seal and signature from both the student and the librarian. Any attempt to remove a book without permission results in the summoning of the library guardians, which range from devious imps to terrifying gryphons or worse, depending on the power and skill of the offender.

Right next door is the Administration building, where the skilled staff ensure that the academy is running smoothly. Students rarely enter because rumors say they will die from boredom if they do.

『Campus Gardens』
The gardens are both beautiful and functional, growing many of the necessary foodstuffs and herbs the school requires. Students and staff with earth-related powers work here. The students are supervised by the staff as they hone their skills.

『Forest』
War games, hunting expeditions, and tracking exercises take place in the surrounding forest. Students learn how to observe and utilize their surroundings here.

『Gym』
All physical activities and games are held here. The interior changes in size and shape depending on what is needed at the time, though there is always a water feature of some sort for swimming in. Students learn different war arts here, from archery to swordplay to hand-to-hand combat.
