In this world, magic is no stranger. On the contrary, it has become an integral part of daily life.
To nurture young talents from the three kingdoms, the most prestigious and powerful academy was founded—the Celestial Academy.
Although its primary purpose was to train the gifted youths of the three kingdoms, that didn't mean the Celestial Academy was under their control. Quite the opposite—it stood as an independent force.
The academy upheld a strict rule to stay out of inter-kingdom politics, with only one goal: to raise great mages who would become the pillars of this world.
But as the old saying goes, "A rule holds for the first hundred years and begins to fade in the next."
Officially, the Celestial Academy forbade any political involvement. But in reality, some of its teachers had begun cooperating with nobles from the three kingdoms.
This was the true face of corruption—something that seemed impossible to eliminate as long as humanity existed.
