( You can skip this chapter if you want, it doesn't contain any events, it just talks about races, structures, and other stuff. )
Flower blooms in light and dark is a novel written in both ancient and modern periods style.
So, there are various technology such as mobiles, laptops, fridges, Tv, Ac, Modern Magic tools, etc...( Haven't introduced them yet)
So, if it is set in modern times then why won't people use a gun to fight demons?
Simple, the force in this world is high, the bullet travels 100 slower than regular earth while it doesn't even penetrate skin that has strength and endurance over '10' which even a child has.
Then what about nukes, magic is more destructive than nukes... If we compare then you could say a powerful mage can destroy the whole earth with a single sale so, in that world nukes weren't developed.
What about modern clothes?
People don't like modern clothes in the Kingdom of hope but other kingdoms do wear them.
So, modern weapons like guns are useless and nukes aren't made yet, even if it is made they can use a mana barrier to protect themselves.
How? Nukes can't penetrate the mana barrier or shield.
.....
As you have guessed there are other kingdoms too,
Kingdom of hope, it is a small kingdom compared to others and is very close to demons' territory.
The kingdom is divided into East, South, north, west, and central, Four dukes manage the east, west, and north-south territory while the royal manages the central part and has influence over another territory.
The Kingdom of hope has a good ally, which is the Kingdom of faith...
Just like the kingdom of hope, the kingdom of faith is divided into six parts east, west, central, north, south, and far west.
Except for the far west part which is ruled by royalty other lands are ruled by dukes.
There are two more kingdoms, the kingdom of "Fate " and the kingdom of 'Luck', the writer didn't write anything about them as they didn't take a major role in the main story but they also have a concept of hierarchy however, these two kingdoms aren't ruled by royal but it is ruled by churches from shadows.
....
On the west side of the Kingdom of faith, there is an ancient forest of elves which is ruled by the elf queen.
Just like in other stories they worship the "World tree", however, the concept of an elf is a little different.
Elves aren't born from any physical relationship between man and woman, pure-blood elves are formed from rare leaves of the world tree.
The world tree is like another tree that has green leaves, however, it frequently produces leaves of Dark green color.
And from that Dark green leaf, Elves are born or evolved, you could say Dark leaf is like an Egg.
.....
There is also Dwarves territory.
Dwarves are the ones who made technology and powerful weapon, they like to forge weapons and wine.
There are also dragons, however, dragons are creatures that are stronger than gods so, no one messes with them.
Dragon may not have great utility magic like gods but they are immune to curses and have strong destructive firepower.
You could say a single fire breath of a dragon can destroy the solar system, their flames are also strong.
However, the water dragon is another case they don't have strong firepower but have great utility, they can flood the whole world killing billions, and have strong defensive properties.
...
What about demi-humans?
They also live in human kingdoms as they don't have their own kingdoms...
***********
Just like human territory, demons also have separate territories or kingdoms.
Like vampires like in "Kingdom of Blood" with their own rules and law.
Other demonic races such as Dark elves, Succubus, werewolves, etc also have their own kingdom with their own laws.
Some demonic races fight against each other while their main goal is to win against humanity, just like how humans fight against each other while their main goal is to eliminate the demon race.
*********
What do they learn in the academy?
Since demons and humans are against each other and war usually appears... Academy is created by an alliance of kingdoms where elite students learn various fighting techniques with swords.
The main thing to learn is "Mana's circulation" and Sword Aura.
Mana circulation is an effective technique to consume less mana while maintaining high firepower.
( low input, huge output )
Sword Aura, it's an Aura then envelops your weapon with mana which increases your attack potential.
When you apply a sword to an ordinary knife it can even slash at strong objects.
...
What a the difference between Magic academy and demon academy?
Well, they both learn magic circulation and sword aura, but demons learn another thing called a demonic aura.
Every demon also has its own ancestral demonic techniques etc while humans have lost it.
Both academies welcome the elites of elites.
******
How are classes divided in the magic academy?
Classes are divided into three parts or sections A B and C and you will graduate academy in 3 years.
However, from this year it will be extended to 5 years as demons and monsters attacks are increasing.
....
Talking about section, A is for nobles and royals, and B is for weaker nobles and strong commoners.
C is for commoners.
Yes, you are good just like any other novel in this novel too Academy tells No No to discrimination but nobles and royals always discriminate against commoners.
