The territory of the collapsed country now becomes the habitat of powerful demons. Commonly known as the underworld.

There are also adventurer guilds in various places, and students can also receive work according to their rank.
The transportation facility between cities is not well thought out. It is because this city was created at a central location in the power map of each country.
However, this city also has the latest research institutes, and since a lot of funds were introduced in the city construction, there is no doubt this city is considered as a major base on the continent, and therefore many people, supplies, and economy were established.

Solminati Academy
A school funded by countries all over the continent to develop human resources that can counter the large-scale invasion of demons.
The highest grade is the 4th year, and the content of education is not only about combat but also training human resources who can play an active role in various fields such as research and politics.
Students are divided into 1 to 10 classes according to their abilities, and their treatment varies.
In the first class, the training ground and magic experiment ground can be used preferentially, and in some cases, individual guidance from a specialized teacher can be received.
For better or for worse, it is natural for those who do not achieve a certain grade in a merit-based school to fail, and it is not uncommon for them to drop out.
Besides, since it develops human resources that will bear the future of each country, it will affect the forces between nations in the future, so it is also a place for political bargaining.
The protagonist managed to keep his grades only from writing exams because his practical exams were not good due to his ability suppression.

***
Qi
A Technique that raises the vitality of the person and manifests various phenomena.
Basically, unlike magic, many do not require chanting or creating formation, but it is unlikely to cause as large-scale phenomena as magic.
Also, since Qi is vitality itself, complete depletion of Qi means death.
