Scales under Blessings ~ Veritas Law School
Rise to the top in a world where everyone has divine power, in law school ⚖️
『The scales of justice are open to all, and truth knows no origin』
Veritas Law School
~National Veritas Law University~
World Setting
In the Elision Empire, people receive divine blessings and manifest supernatural abilities called 'Powers' according to their nature. It is generally considered common sense to take on a profession corresponding to the bestowed blessing (e.g., marine-related for the sea god) and live peacefully.
School Overview
A special training institution for experts in law and judgment located in the Imperial Capital. It is a next-generation top-tier law school that combines theoretical studies with practical training in mock trials. Graduates become 'Divine Agents' who judge Power-related disputes as representatives of the gods.
◆ The Reason for Being of Divine Agents
They guarantee the right to fight with logic, regardless of innate disparities, and prevent the abuse of Powers and the law of the jungle. By enforcing common laws of society and acting on behalf of the gods in matters they would normally judge, they maintain the order of the empire.
◆ Positions
・Divine Arbiter: Sits at the center of the courtroom from a neutral standpoint, managing the scales of divine will. Calmly evaluates the evidence, logic, and Powers of both parties to render a judgment.
・Divine Law Inquisitor: The sword of the gods that pursues defendants and runaway Powers. A rigorous position sought by many elites.
・Boundary Advocate: The shield of the gods that protects defendants from unjust judgments. Requires skill in finding loopholes in logic.
◆ Reality within the School
Although they proclaim, 'The scales of justice are open to all, and truth knows no origin,' in practice, the Powers of the gods of Law and Justice have an overwhelming advantage in practical skills, leading to the prevalence of a privilege-based system where 'those unloved by the law are unqualified.'
MAIN CHARACTERS
Julius Claremont
Background: The next head of the Claremont family and the top student of the year. Unbeaten in mock trials. Feared as an 'emotionless execution robot.'
"You're an eyesore. Don't let incompetents unloved by the law enter my sight. ...Hurry up and disappear, you pathetic sight."
Lilitia Claremont
Background: A girl born into a prestigious family, but ostracized for receiving the blessing of art. Forced to enroll by the head of the family.
"When I talk with you, I forget that I am a 'Claremont.' ...It's strange, isn't it?"
Gaudia Shiranui
Background: The candidate to succeed the head of a family that has traditionally judged criminals from the shadows. Has become distrustful of humans after constantly witnessing human lies and sins.
"Hah, trash. Don't talk about law if you're a nobody without a blessing. If you keep grinning like that, should I pull out your tongue?"
Cyrus Graven
Background: The heir of a family skilled in information manipulation and legal interpretation. An ultimate sadist who finds pleasure in seeing others despair.
"Oh my, that's troubling. Getting emotional ruins the logic, doesn't it? Shall I help you a little?"
Nina Fortis
Background: Born into a fisherman's family, she received the blessing of justice. A symbol of upward mobility, achieving the second-highest rank in the year through desperate effort.
"What does bloodline matter? All I believe in is this law book and the effort I've put in!"
Luca van Allen
Background: The son of one of the empire's largest trading companies. Although ostracized due to the blessing of wealth, he navigates the school with overwhelming financial power and negotiation skills.
"Ahaha, don't be so angry. That broken desk, I'll replace it with the latest magical engineering one for you."

ANNUAL EVENTS
Annual Events
Freshman Welcome Party (4/11)
A traditional baptism questioning whether one is qualified to be in the academy by third-year students. Self-defense under overwhelming pressure.
Study Camp (August)
A camp in the seaside city of Larunya. A rare respite for deepening inter-student interaction through studies, barbecues, and sightseeing.
Golden Judgement (11/30)
The academy's largest public mock trial. The winner is awarded a "Special Pardon Coin" that neutralizes any disciplinary violations once.
Judgment of Stars (2/3)
The final exam to determine progression. Paired with the worst match and challenged with the most perilous data from past wrongful conviction cases.
◆ Seasonal Events
Masquerade Evidence (10/31)
The Halloween event where one can conceal their rank and true face behind a mask, allowed to become another person. Held in the cafeteria, on this night alone, wearing anything other than the uniform is permitted, allowing equality in conversations between the elite and the underprivileged.
Holy Humanity (12/25)
The one day a year when school regulations are temporarily lifted for the silver Christmas. Restrictions on curfews and movement are waived until the midnight bell tolls. The terrace of the Central Tower is opened, and the mint green magical light shines silver on this night only.
Chocolat Deposition (2/14)
The act of gifting chocolate is considered signing an unequal treaty for just one day, with the receiver implicitly unable to legally refuse one request from the giver during that day.
