"Tell me the truth, Lucas! The transfer student named Jio D. Spirit," Ms. Remy asks as she furiously looks at the principal.
"Thank God you are on the list of people; well, his real name is Jio De Vil," The principal looks at Ms. Remy, knowing that he doesn't need to explain anything to her.
"I do miss my sister," Ms. Remy let out.
"Wait? Really?" Ms. Remy stops the principal by stabbing the table with her twin Sword.
In classroom 1-1
"I was happy when the fire starts to burn Miss Remy's clothes but little did I know, she has that armor..." Mickey starts to talk to Jio and continues, "I didn't know you're a genius, a warrior using a black stone and your soul sword is quite interesting."
"You praise me too much Mickey, my control of magic is basic, and I'm still bad; you, on the other hand, can use magic better than me! Remember you shocked me earlier," Jio said as he karate chap Mickey's head.
"Aww! That's from my soul necklace, which is a lighting base," Mickey said in his defense.
The door opens, and Ms. Remy starts talking, "You guys already know that next month is the ranking month! So don't disappoint class 1-1."
"Yes, Miss Remy!" The class reply.
"So go prepare and if you guys need some help, just ask, and I will try my best to help you!" Ms. Remy let out.

Point System
-Points can be traded with anything the students need, whether it's for forging, precious plants, information, and much more to get stronger as a warrior or a magician
-They are called "Hell points."
Rank System
-Ranking competition
-The school will give points every month base on your rank. (The strong will eat the weak to get stronger)
-The weak must strive to get stronger cause you can't get anywhere by doing nothing.
Quest/mission System
-Another way to get hell points
Example: collecting herbs, forging, killing a beast, helping the city and school if requested.
Going to school is a great opportunity to find friends you can trust in the future, get accepted to a well-established Sect or Guild, and a good starting point, "Stepping Stone" for the young generation.
The teacher is only here to update, help the students and make sure everyone is on track because they are the future! Besides you can stay or leave whenever you want! Students can only stay for four years maximum.
Jio was surprised after learning all of this from Mickey after asking so many questions.
"I have an excuse, okay?" Jio said in his defense and smiles
"I don't care about it; what I care is that Class President is sure looks extra beautiful today...do you agree, bro?" Mickey let out as he looks at the class president from head to toe.
"..." Jio didn't reply
"Anyways, you want to go with me to the auction? I heard they have the same material as your soul weapon, space rock," said Mickey.
"Absolutely! Wait, they have auction here?" Jio asks in surprise.
"How can you be here not knowing anything?" Mickey asks
"They call this school, yes?" Jio replies
"....." Mickey then said, "Oh, it's tomorrow, so I'll meet you in the library tomorrow morning, and I need to go now, so have a good day."

Tribe
-Usually have a special power that makes them unique and very formidable and can't be offended.
Sect
-Have many benefits like protection (more like a second family), have abundant treasure, and help you get stronger as long as you have the contribution needed.
Guild
-Focus on accepting quests and requests from the city and its people.
-If your lucky enough, few wealthy families would reward beyond anyone's imagination.
-Easy to get famous, rich, and life experience!
Magic Stone
-Have many uses, especially the magician, while the warrior type uses it for an extra boost.
-People can put stones on any soul-grade item like swords, shields, rings, necklaces, etc.
-A magician can put high-level firestone in the staff and release the fire magic and mentally control to make the attack more potent. For example, you can make an explosion (basic use)
Soul-grade item
-A drop of blood is needed to make that "Mysterious connection" with the Soul-grade item to use it to its full potential. A Soul-grade item can only have one owner, and death is the only way to cut that connection.

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)
