The so-called Magic High School—

A general term for national high schools aimed at cultivating modern "mages."

There are a total of nine schools nationwide.

The locations are as follows:

First High School: Hachioji (Kanto, Tokyo)

Second High School: Nishinomiya (Kansai, Hyogo)

Third High School: Kanazawa (Hokuriku, Ishikawa)

Fourth High School: Hamamatsu (Tokai, Shizuoka)

Fifth High School: Sendai (Tohoku, Miyagi)

Sixth High School: Izumo (San'in, Shimane)

Seventh High School: Kochi (Shikoku, Kochi)

Eighth High School: Otaru (Hokkaido)

Ninth High School: Kumamoto (Kyushu, Kumamoto)

The first to third high schools admit 200 students per year and are divided into first-year and second-year students (the third high school calls the first-year students "specialized" and the second-year students "general"). The difference between first-year and second-year students lies in whether they have a mentor. Apart from not receiving individual instruction from a teacher, the curriculum for first-year and second-year students is the same. The fourth to ninth high schools admit 100 students per year, and all students have mentors. However, the quality of students is said to be slightly inferior to that of the first to third high schools. The curriculum of each school generally follows the guidelines set by the National Magic University, but some schools have unique characteristics. For example, the third high school emphasizes practical combat magic, while the fourth high school focuses on complex and procedural magic with high significance in magic engineering. Not only the direction of magic, but also the environment in which magic is used, varies among schools. For instance, the seventh high school teaches magic that is very practical on water and sea surfaces in addition to regular courses. The eighth high school includes field training courses that teach magic useful in harsh environments such as cold regions or mountainous areas.

The older brother, a mediocre student with a certain flaw.

The younger sister, a perfect student in every way.

From the moment this brother and sister enrolled in the Magic High School,

a series of tumultuous days began—

Glossary

Term Explanations

Magic High School

A general term for high schools affiliated with the National Magic University. There are a total of nine schools nationwide.

The first to third high schools admit 200 students per year and are divided into first-year and second-year students.

Flower Crown, Weed

Slang used at the First High School to describe the class differences between first-year and second-year students.

First-year students have a badge with eight petals embroidered on the left chest of their uniform, while second-year students do not.

CA device that simplifies the magic activation process, storing the necessary programs for using magic.

There are specialized and general types, with various shapes.

Four Leaves Technology [FLT]

A domestic CAD manufacturing company. Originally, the company was known for its magic engineering parts more than its finished products.

However, after developing the "Silver Type," it became a well-known CAD manufacturer.

Torrance Silver

A genius technician who, in just one year, advanced the software technology of specialized CADs by a decade.

Eidos [Individual Information Body]

Originally a term from Greek philosophy. In modern magic, an individual information body refers to "information accompanying phenomena."

It is the record of an "event" that has existed in the "world," essentially the footprint of an "event" in the "world."

According to the definition of modern magic, "magic" is the technique of modifying individual information bodies to change the "events" they represent.

Idea [Information Body Dimension]

Originally a term from Greek philosophy. In modern magic, the information body dimension refers to "the platform for recording individual information bodies."

The original form of magic is the technique of outputting magic formulas to this platform called the "information body dimension" and rewriting the "individual information bodies" within it.

Activation Formula

The blueprint for magic, used to construct the magic program.

The data file of the activation formula is stored in the CAD in a compressed form. After the magician inputs the thoughton wave to expand the program, the activation formula converts the data content into a signal and returns it to the magician.

Thoughton

A non-material particle located in the paranormal phenomenon dimension, recording the information elements of cognition and thought.

The "individual information body," which forms the basis of modern magic theory, and the "activation formula" and "magic formula" techniques, which form the backbone of modern magic, are all constructed from thoughtons.

Spiriton

A non-material particle located in the paranormal phenomenon dimension. Although its existence has been confirmed, its form and function have not been successfully analyzed.

Most magicians can only "sense" activated spiritons.
