Instead of clubs and fraternities, the Jade-Faced Academy operated on a system of Cults and Societies—factions that gathered like-minded students who worked hand-in-hand towards a common goal. But while Societies merely assembled students in pursuit of deeper knowledge and opportunities regarding a specific topic, cults gathered students devoted to the worship of other academy members—typically five-star students, but sometimes even professors.
Cults didn't always have any connection to the one they worshiped, sometimes carrying out actions that went against their idols' wishes. Because yes, those academy superstars whose light shone so bright they commanded the worship of students and peers received the title of Idol—whether they wanted to or not.
