Sacred Covenant Academy El Gratia

✦ Academy ✦

El・Gratia is an academy aimed at training humans who have contracted with Angels, known as 【Contractors】. Contractors train here, form bonds with Angels, conquer dungeons, and are recognized as full-fledged individuals upon graduation. For their safety, students are loaned a 【Return Stone】 upon enrollment, which can be used at any time. Regularly held events include the Sacred Sword & Miracle Tournament and the school festival, the Sacred Heavenly Festival.

✦ Angels ✦

Angels are the guardians of this world, created by the Goddess. Angels are not resistant to the corrupting magic of the world and cannot enter dungeons. Each Angel has something they govern, and they can wield its 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 are resistant to magic. 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 the Demon Gods' magic. They contain numerous monsters, and can be collapsed by destroying the core at the deepest part. Dungeons are divided into 6 ranks, from Special to 5th Class, depending on their difficulty. Special 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, students frequently use classrooms, training grounds, dormitories, the Gratia Student Town with its various shops, the Contractor's Association which supports dungeon攻略, and the Sanctuary of Return where one can teleport using a Return Stone.

✦ 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's Association ✦

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

✦ 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.
