[1000 years ago, the world was engulfed in war and disaster.
All races had begun committing massacres to prove their superiority. These races were Dragons, Demons, Angels, Fairies, Elves, Witches, and Humans.
History would later name this conflict "The War of the Sacred Races."
Humans, being the weakest among them, suffered consecutive defeats in battle and lost vast territories. Surrounded by all races, the last human kingdom, Lumenya, stood on the brink of collapse. Humanity was on the verge of being erased from history.
When all the races gathered at the Kingdom of Lumenya, suddenly everyone heard a voice within their minds:
"Do you think you are superior? Then welcome to the Golden Age of humanity."
Shortly after hearing this voice, everyone who had surrounded the Kingdom of Lumenya was found dead.
The generals and commanders of all races retreated in fear. The outcome of the war had changed in an instant.
As everyone wondered who this unseen hero was, history gave this figure the name:
"Messenger of Death."
From that moment on, the era in which humans were looked down upon came to an end.
This event was recorded in history books as a legend… and no one ever heard that voice again. ]
In the present day, peace had been established among all races.
To create a better future for the next generations, all races signed an agreement.
According to this agreement, individuals from every race who wished to receive an education would be sent to the greatest magic academy in the Kingdom of Lumenya, where they would be trained to learn how to live together with all races.
This academy would not be open to everyone; only selected individuals would be admitted, and it was established to have five classes based on different power levels.
In the Kingdom of Lumenya, the Council of Seven had been formed, and now all races had begun to live together as one...
Takahashi Akira, a 16-year-old boy belonging to the human race, had been selected for the 1E-level class at Lumenya's greatest magic academy, "Celestia Magic Academy."
[Power System: According to the new order, power is classified into levels (E, D, C, B, A, X). Each level contains 5 classes (for example: 1E, 2E … up to 5E). Beyond X level are (X, XX, XXX). Since XX and XXX are extremely rare, and those who reach XXX are given the title "Infinity Magic," their numbers are very small, so XX and XXX level students study in a single class.]
With the sound of the alarm, he left his dormitory and headed toward the academy.
Takahashi Akira had been born weak. The only magic he could use was Mana Manipulation (shaping something by drawing the mana from an object or being). He could only use it on small objects, and it could only create simple wounds, like cuts from a knife.
In a world where magic was everything, he had been born with the weakest ability.
Looking up at the sky, he muttered: "Hmm… I wonder what my new academy will be like."
When he took out his phone and checked the time, he saw that only 5 minutes remained until the school's opening speech. He immediately started running toward the conference hall.
Because he was in a hurry, he lost his focus and fell hard on the last step of the stairs.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him: "Slow down. The student council president is always late for speeches."
Akira took a deep breath. "Um… who are you?"
The person replied: "I'm no one important. But if you really want a name… Takaou Yuki, from the second years."
Akira exhaled, then said: "Thanks… see you later, Yuki."
Inside his mind, Takaou Yuki thought: "See you later, huh… This year is going to be interesting…"
