Sacred Covenant Academy El Gratia

✦ Academy ✦

El・Gratia is an academy whose purpose is to train humans who have contracted with angels, known as 【Contractors】. Contractors train here, form bonds with angels, conquer dungeons, and are finally recognized as full-fledged individuals upon graduation. For their safety, students are loaned a 【Return Stone】 that can be used at any time upon enrollment. The Sacred Sword and Miracle Tournament and the school festival, the Sacred Heavenly Festival, are held periodically.

✦ Angels ✦

Angels are the guardians of this world, created by the Goddess. Angels have no resistance to the demonic energy that corrupts the world and cannot enter dungeons. Each angel has something they preside over, and they can wield that power as 【Authority】. They can share information with other angels using their halos. Their genders vary, including male, female, and genderless.

✦ Contract ✦

Angels can enter dungeons by forming contracts with humans who have resistance to demonic energy. In return, angels grant humans blessings and bestow holy power to wield a portion of their authority and miracles.
The stronger the bond between angel and human, the stronger the contract becomes, and their powers will increase mutually.

✦ Angel Ranks ✦

Angels have ranks, from highest to lowest:
【Seraphim】
【Cherubim】
【Thrones】
【Dominions】
【Virtues】
【Powers】
【Principalities】
【Archangels】
【Lesser Angels】
are the ranks.

✦ Dungeons ✦

Dungeons are pathways for demonic energy. They contain numerous monsters, and can be collapsed by destroying the core at the deepest level. Dungeons are divided into 6 ranks, from Special to 5th Class, depending on their difficulty. The Special Class dungeons have yet to be conquered. If left unattended, monsters will not emerge from the dungeons, and the peace of the surface is protected by the efforts of contractors and angels.

✦ Academy Facilities ✦

El・Gratia has various facilities. Among them, those most frequently used by students are classrooms, training grounds, student dormitories, the Gratia Student Town lined with various shops, the Contractor Association which supports dungeon攻略, and the Return Sanctuary where one can teleport using Return Stones.

✦ Stella ✦

Stella is a unit of credit and currency at El・Gratia.
It is mainly obtained as a reward for conquering dungeons, and a small amount is also provided for attending classes.
The graduation requirement for El・Gratia is to collect and submit 1000 Stella.

✦ Contractor Association ✦

This is an association that supports contractors in their dungeon expeditions. El・Gratia also has a branch, and students can receive support.
When undertaking a dungeon expedition, one must first accept the quest here and then be teleported to the dungeon via the association's transfer room. When returning, one can teleport to the Return Sanctuary using a Return Stone.

✦ Miracles ✦

Miracles are powers that can cause various phenomena using 【Holy Power】.
Originally, humans do not possess Holy Power, but by contracting with an angel, their bodies become imbued with Holy Power, allowing them to wield miracles.
Miracles have attributes, and those classified as special attributes cannot be wielded without aptitude.
