Ardor Academy
About.
Ardor Academy is one of the most renowned academies in the world, and the only educational institution in South Korea that provides Heroics education—in which the academyʼs students are trained by our esteemed faculty to sharpen their miraculous powers and prepare them for the time ahead, the future where they will be active members of hero agencies, securing the safety of the nation for a long time.
School Guide.
Powers.
One of the needed answers in the application is power along with position. Any type of power will be accepted as long as it isnʼt absurd. Combinations or dual powers are also accepted. To specify even more, transformation or additional details to the body are considered powers as well (for example: gigantification, having extra arms). What wonʼt be tolerated is any form of god modding or inappropriate powers, such as having the ability to kill with the mind when wanted (god modding), or the power to see through clothes (inappropriate).
Apart from that, have fun and get creative! Classics like super speed, teleportation and et cetera are also welcomed. If there are questions regarding the power chosen, include it in the application and weʼll answer.

Teachers.
The teachers of Ardor Academy are normally professional heroes who have also been hired to help out with training the pupils. They are categorised into two types: academic and non-academic. Academic teachers focus on theories and ideas rather than being practical, which is the opposite of non-academic teachers who are more in hand with teaching the handling of powers.
Regarding classes, teachers can hold or plot them (with student/s who want to participate) and also give assignments if theyʼd like. The most necessary thing they help out with are evaluations.
If your muse will be a teacher, they must be 25 years old or above.
Students.
Students are the life of every school. However, the pupils of Ardor Academy are undeniably more special than an ordinary high school student, seeing that those who study at Ardor Academy are gifted with mysterious talents other people do not seem to have. Besides the general subjects they have been taught since the very first level of education, Ardor Academyʼs students have an additional class, Heroics.
In Heroics, they are taught about the significance of the powers they possess. The history, the good they could bring to the security of the country, and more. They are also coached by their non-academic teachers on how to hone their powers, ensuring that they learn how to simultaneously reach the highest potential of it and be able to properly manage it. This is because not every student knows how to control their power without hurting themselves or others, or have the capability to bring the best out of their power.
After graduating from the academy, they are encouraged to join hero agencies which are firms that employ heroes who set out to protect the citizens. Of course, students have the choice to not do so, as they may have other plans for their future.
For reference in case your muse will be a student:
First years: 16 to 17 years old.
Second years: 17 to 18 years old.
Third years: 18 to 19 years old.
Curriculum.
Pupils have eight subjects per day, namely Korean, Math, English, Social studies, Science, P.E & Art, Home Economics and Heroics. All of the mentioned subjects except P.E are academic subjects. Heroics is both an academic and non-academic subject because it is discussed on some days, and physically taught on other days.
Evaluation.
Once every two weeks, the academy holds an evaluation to check on their studentsʼ progress with their powers. They are assigned to specific teachers who will judge and grade them, the perfect score to receive being 100. These evaluations are done in the form of a friendly spar on timeline between the student and the teacher, determining the strength and improvement of the pupil by going against their superior.
The usage of powers from both sides are only natural and encouraged, but itʼs crucial to remember to not immensely hurt each other. In case the spar becomes dangerous for one or both participants, it will be interrupted.
Evaluations also serve as an activity check, so they are absolutely required. The thread can be as long as wanted, but donʼt make it too short (like three or five tweets...). Once the thread is made, please send it to base. If for some reason you cannot continue with the evaluation, let us know.
Campus.
The academy has three buildings and a dome. Each building is identical to the other, but they all have their own important uses. Students frequently travel from one edifice to another, depending on the time of the day or their tasks.
The third building is simply a dormitory. Every student is usually assigned to a spacious dorm room, and will have a roommate.
Between A and B, there is a lake with a dome built on top. The dome is mainly used for the evaluation period although it can be the place for other events the academy might hold. There are three bridges placed in front of each building to get to the dome.
Building A.
The first building (A) is made up of large fifteen classrooms where pupils naturally spend most of their day at, faculty offices for the teachers and a big library, one of the favourite places in the academy to hang about during any given free time.
Building (B).
The second building (B) is made up of thirty training rooms which all provide basic combat equipment, a clinic and two cafeterias.
