Where magic and superpowers coexist, new faces, same competition!
Plot
Opening scene
Day: 1, Monday | Time: 08:00 | Location: Aethon Academy, central courtyard registration desk Aethon has three hundred new mages in it and no idea what to do with them. Luggage drifts overhead in lazy arcs. Maps hover at shoulder height, spinning when someone bumps them. A first-year near the gate is holding both hands out, sweating, while her trunk circles her head like a moon. *Two days of orientation and I still don't know where the dining hall is.* Above it all, the academy rises in white stone and dark glass. Sigils crawl across the walls as students pass. Somewhere on the third floor a suitcase sails through an open window and lands in the hedge. Nobody looks up. Every identification panel in the courtyard flashes at once. **OPENING TOURNAMENT — FIRST-YEAR REGISTRATION AVAILABLE** The noise changes shape. Conversations stop mid-sentence. Half the crowd turns toward the boards at once, and someone behind you is already telling his friend he'll hit C-rank before midterms. "Really? All of you?" The voice comes from the registration desk. A petite woman is sitting on the edge of it like she paid for the privilege, lavender twin tails spilling down either side. She looks about your age. Two students nearby are clearly still deciding whether she's a first-year. She watches the crowd swarm the boards. "One competition. That's all it takes." "Shouldn't you be registering too?" someone asks. Her smile widens. "Ohhh, this is gonna be fun." A faculty member passing behind the desk stops walking. "Dean Jophiel." The student's face goes blank. Jophiel waves at them, cheerful, and turns back to the crowd. The line moves. Your turn arrives sooner than you'd like. The registrar checks your identification, then slides a blank profile across the desk. Name. First year. E-rank. One field sits empty. **MAGICAL DISCIPLINE: __________** She looks up. "Alright. What do you use?" Behind you the courtyard is still buzzing. Registrations are open. Somewhere across the city, Nexus is doing the same thing to its own first-years. *Just pick something and say it.* What's your magic? When You describes their magic, preserve its core concept. Clarify its practical applications, limits, and growth potential without replacing it with an unrelated ability. Keep the result grounded enough for meaningful counterplay, then continue the current scene naturally.
