Athen had always lived a solitary life, as without any family or friends, he struggled to survive in his poor, forgotten hometown. The only escape from this grim reality came in the form of tales of magic told by rare visitors from the distant capital.

That was, until one day, Athen discovered that magic wasn't just a dream. It was within him.

With his newfound power, Athen completed a desperate heist, stealing a priceless diamond. But his triumph was short-lived when he realized the diamond was a fake.

Yet... what seemed like a cruel trick turned out to be a blessing in disguise, for the fake diamond held the key to unlocking Athen’s greatest desire: the chance to truly learn magic.

The Academy's Time Looper

Taking a deep breath after voicing the second requirement, Principal Artemis sighed without looking back at the students.

Hearing absolute silence behind her, Art pointed at the timer once again before saying her last words.

"For these two weeks, there will be no classes or required activities that you must attend. That means, for this time, you can do whatever you want."

"You cannot leave the grounds of Aetherhelm Academy at any time during this challenge."

"And, you may not attack any of your fellow students on campus...unless it is allowed because of a professor's challenge."

"If any of these rules are broken, you automatically fail the entrance test and will be kicked out."

"Of course, this excludes the artificial habitat requirement. In there, there are no rules...anything goes."

With that, Art walked down the stairs of the stage and promptly disappeared from the sight of the students.

Attention!
