Covenant Academy, situated on a small island off the coast of Japan, is unique in that its students are all Contractors, people who have made pacts with beings from another world. The academy has facilities to teach students from elementary school through to university and takes applicants from all corners of the world. Thanks to one of the staff's contract abilities, all students are able to communicate clearly with one another regardless of whether they know each other's languages.
The academy is more like a city than a normal school. It features a large shopping district, restaurants, cinemas and almost anything else the students are likely to want or need. Most of the people working in these establishments are current or former students of the academy. While the architecture tends to be fairly standard for a modern city, there are two major exceptions. The structures that make up the university seem almost...futuristic, while the academy's largest library seems to be a very well maintained ancient Greek building.
As with most Japanese schools, Covenant Academy has a large number of clubs, ranging from normal things like sporting teams and anime appreciation societies to clubs that couldn't possibly work in more normal schools. Among the academy's many clubs and associations is the Covenant Academy Security Team. The Security Team is made up of students of all ages who use their abilities to enforce the school's rules, effectively functioning as the island's police force.
Members of the security team or academy staff can authorise "duels" between students, either as training or to help settle arguments. The system was established to help with the inevitable fights that would break out in the school. Given that many of the students had dangerous powers, a system where these fights could be carried out with supervision that ensured proper medical care when needed and gave incentive to avoid potentially lethal attacks seemed like a good idea. Combined with the rumours about the severity of the punishments for unauthorised powered fights, the system has been mostly successful.

So yeah, got this posted. Sorry it's taking so long to get this running. ^^;
