Although questioned by many, general education has been omitted from the school's teaching syllabus. However, it remains optional for students to take up if they prefer to do so; staff and facilities for such learning would always be available. Another decision made by the administration that has caused some controversy, is what the media referred to as the premature exposure of the students to actual field training and early internship with the agencies affiliated to the academy. Focus is redirected towards the heroics course while supporting whatever talents the students excel in. Instead of creating well-rounded heroes and heroines, through the promotion of a competitive environment, Kosei aims to produce what could accurately be described as specialists. The institute itself is located on an artificial island connected by a large bridge to Musutafa Port. Although heavily influenced by classical architecture, it has a great number of facilities that accommodates each and every students' needs, fostering the growth in their individual strengths. For now, only a total of a hundred students may attend the academy. Despite the strict limitations to how many students can attend the school, the academy encompasses majority of the island and appears more like a small village from a distance, instead of a massive institution.[/INDENT][/HIDER] [HIDER=STUDENTS (12)][LIST][*][b](Unranked)[/b] | Hamasaki, Kaito [*][b](Unranked)[/b] | Matsuo, Iccho [*][b](Unranked)[/b] | Virmire, Dante [*][b](Unranked)[/b] | Hayashi, Eir [*][b](Unranked)[/b] | Wilk, Temperance [*][b](Unranked)[/b] | St. John, Jefferson [*][b](Unranked)[/b] | Kanashiro, Tatsuko [*][b](Unranked)[/b] | Otonashi, Ryoma [*][b](Unranked)[/b] | Hironaka, Severa [*][b](Unranked)[/b] | Westerville, Rubina [*][b](Unranked)[/b] | Isinui, Samada [*][b](Unranked)[/b] | Hyakuya, Tetsuo [/LIST][/HIDER] [HIDER=RANKS][CENTER][img]http://i.imgur.com/sCNQcRG.png?2[/img][/CENTER] [INDENT]Kosei Academy works on a reward system that grants greater privileges and rights to those with higher rankings. You will see that those with higher rankings will have nicer dorms, less restrictions, and greater influence over school. Do note, however, that lower rankings will not leave you with less. You are guaranteed everything you need to succeed in your training no matter your ranking. Repercussions exists for those who continue to remain in the bottom rankings and show no strive for improving. The natural question here is how does one rise up in the rankings. There are two ways in which to accomplish this. First there is the old fashioned way. Do well in your training and outperform them and you will see your rank gradually rise up. This is the safest way to do it but it will take a longer period of time regardless of your results. The second involves a degree of risk. You can challenge anyone of your colleagues for their rank. These are formal challenges and must be officiated by a member of the faculty. The challenged has the right to choose the location, time, and rules of the match. If you succeed you will gain their rank while they will fall down to your previous ranking. If you lose then you are banned from further challenges for the remainder of the term. If you fail three challenges you are then expelled. [HIDER=QUESTIONS][INDENT][CENTER][img]http://i.imgur.com/ng0ql7D.png?1[/img][/CENTER] [LIST][*][color=ed1c24][b]Q:[/b] Can you only challenge students of a higher rank than you?[/color] [b]A:[/b] You can challenge any student, but there isn't that much to gain when challenging those lower ranked than you. Rejecting challenges is also an option. [*][color=ed1c24][b]Q:[/b] Are we ranked yet?[/color] [b]A:[/b] Currently, everyone's unranked. [*][color=ed1c24][b]Q:[/b] You get expelled when you lose three challenges, regardless of if you're the challenger or the challenged? Or is it if you lose three when you challenge you get expelled?[/color] [b]A:[/b] I used the word fail and not lose. The three lose rule only applies to the challenger. [*][color=ed1c24][b]Q:[/b] Does a member of faculty have to witness it?[/color] [b]A:[/b] Yup. A faculty should be watching to make it an official challenge. [*][color=ed1c24][b]Q:[/b] Are there universal rules to challenges? I.E., does it have to be a fight, or can it be any sort of task?[/color] [b]A:[/b] No hard rules aside from no killing, I guess. But regarding the details of the match, I think I mentioned that it's up for the challenger to decide. One can skew the challenge to make the odds work for them, but if the handicap is too obvious, one could just reject an unfair challenge. [*][color=ed1c24][b]Q:[/b] Can those challenges involve other people? For example, if challenged, could I choose a 2v2 volleyball match as the competition?[/color] [b]A:[/b] Depending on the challenge, but the answer is yes. The only difference here is how you'd handle in dealing with the trading of ranks.[/LIST][/INDENT][/HIDER][/INDENT][/HIDER] [HIDER=POINTS][CENTER][img]http://i.imgur.com/Ub4E4aQ.png?2[/img][/CENTER] [INDENT]In order to curb the influence of outside factors, you will find that money has no value here. All stores instead require points which you will accumulate during your stay here. Your student ID will act as your debit card while you study here and can be used to spend your points. How do you get points? Simple. You will be rewarded a weekly allowance of points based upon your ranking. You will also receive points from teachers for exceptional work. The quickest way to gain points, however, is to perform well in the various events hosted throughout the term as the winners here are awarded various rewards which often include copious amounts of points. What do you use your points on? Your dorm room, school supplies, and daily meals come free. Points will be used for anything outside those areas. Anything you wish to acquire can be gotten. Whether you want to buy higher quality meals, furniture for you room, or better equipment, all can be gained through the use of points; requests can be made as well. Guard your IDs well for without them you will find yourself quite out of luck.[/INDENT][/HIDER][/INDENT]
