Kimberly Magic Academy

Kimberly Magic Academy is a seven-year magic school located in the country of Yelgland.

Overview
Kimberly, the enchanted temple is giant, enigmatic building. It more closely resembles a fortress than a school, with grand decorations on on its outer walls and tall spires that seem to pierce the heavens. The architecture is Cygan, which was popular in the eighth century. Within its walls, you’ll find at least twenty banquet halls and over three hundred smaller rooms, although  their  numbers  fluctuate  depending  on  the  day,  and  new rooms are often discovered. The building’s size as it appears from the outside clearly does not match its interior— and that doesn’t even take into account the innumerable mysterious places contained within the dark bowels of this magical palace.

System
This academy is run under a very unique set of principles. No student’s safety is guaranteed. It is also known as "The world’s most perfect hell for mages".

Students can enroll at the age of 15 and, on average, attend for seven years. Eighty percent of students reach graduation. The rest cannot graduate due to death, going missing, or from being unable to recover from injuries or other afflictions. Sometimes, they will even be forced to fight to the death among friends. All students are given this right equally, and the staff rarely interferes in student conflicts.

Culture
Fighting within the school proper is prohibited, so students wishing to duel outside of class or settle personal scores will venture into the Labyrinth beneath it to avoid teachers. In order to push students to their limits and achieve results, nstructors at Kimberly are not allowed to assist in any cases of missing students in the Labyrinth until eight days have passed. Due to this, a group of students created the unofficial Campus Watch.

Many of the students have children or marry before leaving school, generally starting in their third year. Pregnant students are not an uncommon sight while there.

Uniforms
Kimberly has two standard uniforms.

The girls' uniform consists of a gray collared shirt with black trim, silver buttons, and a necktie in their year's color, coupled with a dark navy blue button skirt. Over this, they wears a black robe with silver trim, and lining matching their necktie. It is coupled with large leather straps that wrap over their right shoulder and reach down at their sides which holsters a wand and athame, respectively.

The boy's uniform is identical the the girls', save for replacing the skirt with a pair of trousers in the same color.

Though Kimberly does have a standard uniform, customization of their uniforms by students is both allowed and commonplace. For example, instead of the navy skirt, Nanao Hibiya wears a pair of shortened red hakama trousers.

Each grade of students is differentiated by the color of the inner lining and tie of their uniforms. These colors are:


 * First Years: Red
 * Second Years: Green
 * Third Years: Orange
 * Fourth Years: Purple
 * Fifth Years: Gray
 * Sixth Years: Black
 * Seventh Years: Unknown

Magic Concentration
The area has a much denser concentration of magic particles.

Labyrinth
Beneath the academy, a sprawling, multi-layer "labyrinth" exists. The labyrinth is home to many magical plants and creatures, making it dangerous for anyone venturing in unprepared. For more information, please see Labyrinth.
