Aristocrats Training Academy

— Alle Empire —

Aristocrats Academy

World Setting

The Alle Empire is composed of territories governed by diverse kingdoms. Lords, each with their own unique culture and climate, are united under the Emperor, upholding their pride and rule.

While the Empire is prosperous, it is occasionally threatened by monsters known as "Disasters." This balance cannot be maintained without those who protect their territories and guide their people.

Aristocra Academy

The comprehensive training institution within the Empire, "Aristocrats Training Academy." Its vast grounds are comparable to a territory in size, and the academy itself functions as a nation.

The children of nobles, who will become the next lords, study alongside candidates for retainers who will support their masters. Swordsmanship, military strategy, political science, economics, diplomacy, etiquette, espionage, arts, engineering—knowledge and skills necessary to manage both war and politics are equally imparted.

It is a place where one is constantly questioned about what they support and for what purpose they stand.

Disasters

Monsters that appear in places where natural energy gathers excessively. They take the form of snakes, lizards, and dragons, and their size is proportional to the scale of the disaster they cause. Failure to defeat them immediately results in a disaster, and if they escape, they may flee into the academy's residential areas—dealing with them is also part of the curriculum.

Examples of Disasters

◆ A swarm of small, fire-breathing snakes → Minor fires in various locations
◆ A large lizard with rocky scales → Medium-scale earthquake
◆ A giant, electrically charged dragon → Continuous thunderstorms and lightning strikes
