In the Kingdom of Lendor, those with magical abilities are given preferential treatment, and at the same time, are educated to use their powers for the good of the world. That educational institution was the Royal Remus Academy and in the temples around the country.

According to the Kingdom’s history, those who possess magical power have been the ones to help the country become prosperous as royalty and nobility. On the contrary, most of the population in the kingdom do not have magical power, and they do not struggle in their lives due to the lack of magic.

It can be said that those with this magic, who are in the absolute minority despite their great power, escape the danger of persecution by being useful to others.

So, if you think you are being used for good, you are not. Even for magicians, what they learn at the academy and the temple has an important meaning in their lives.

Insufficient control of their magic causes their body to be unable to withstand the raging energy inside of them, and most people die in their teens. Moreover, proper training is required to master their magic, and it is essential to either practice to the brink of death alone or to request for a good teacher to train you.

For those born with magic, the school and the temple are their lifelines, it’s a give-and-take relationship.

Aside from such magical circumstances, sending children to the Royal Remus Academy is a kind of status symbol for the nobility. It is said that some families even go into debt just to send their children there.

If you have a financial problem, you can study in the temple along with the magicians who are born to ordinary citizens in very rare cases, but if you are a nobleman, you almost always choose to borrow money.

As long as you go to the temple, you can receive a proper education under the protection of the government, which is a win-win system, not only for your future, but also for the government to secure valuable human resources.

So, why do they insist on the school?

It was because, for the aristocrats, vanity and pride are important items that they could not get rid of.
