Well... here we are... in Gaia Academy. Wait you don't know about it? Well then, let me tell you how it all began.

2000 years ago

There were 4 nations that lived in harmony. Humans, Monsters, Hybrids, and Spirits. The Human Nation we're pretty determined and strong-willed. 95% of the population have magic, while the remaining five percent do not. Then there was The Monster Tribe, 60% of monsters are hostile and usually attack anyone not part of their species or family, while the remaining 40% are neutral and will only fight if needed. Ironic enough, all neutral monsters are anthropomorphic, while all hostiles aren't. Hybrids are a mix of either monster, human, or spirit. They were once from those nations but were either left alone in the woods, immediately slain, or stayed a secret from society while their family raises them. Eventually, enough hybrids were alive and they began their own nation, The Hybrid Community. The Spirit Clan, there are three kinds of them: The spirits of Heaven, the spirits of Hell, and the spirits of The World. The spirits of heaven are peaceful, and will only attack if they are left with no other choice, they are able to bend and manipulate light for their own benefits and for their survival. They also have other unique abilities but their main power is light. Then there are the spirits of hell, these spirits are devious and mischievous, they only want to benefit themselves and leave others behind for their own personal gain, they are able to manipulate shadows and the dark to fight each other and use it to strengthen themselves. Again, they also have other abilities but the mainly use the shadows or darkness. Then there are the spirits of the world, or usually called, Land spirits. These spirits don't have a specific or usual behavior like the other two, they can be wild or tame, fierce or timid. What ever their environment's main source for benefit is, is what they can manipulate. If the spirit lives near or in any body of water, they can manipulate water, if they live in the dessert, they can manipulate sand, and so on and so forth. These nations lived in harmony as I said, but one day. They started fighting. No one knew why or which nation caused it first. After years and years of battling, it wouldn't matter who would've won the war, cause the people they lost, and the damages have been done were too horrible, even with the victory on their hands. Then, one day, the rulers of both humans and hybrids had enough of this war and suggested a peace treaty, both monsters and spirits were skeptical at first, but seeing the damage that has been caused for hundreds of years, they were desperate, so they agreed. The nations split up and marked which land is their territory and made sure that every nation had an equal amount, and at the last plot of land everyone already had an equal amount of land, so they decided to split it by a quarter each. A few years have gone by and it was peaceful. Until, something mysterious came from the sky. It was... a small purple box. It looked ancient yet futuristic, and it landed right in the middle of the splitted island. The box opened and a voice came from it.

"ɦêʟʟð, 4 ñå†ïðñ§. Ì åʍ ¢åʟʟêÐ Èñïɢʍå. Ì åʍ ðñê 𣠆ɦê †ɦðµ§åñЧ 𣠆ê¢ɦñðʟðɢï¢åʟ Èʍþïʀê ǵßê§, ðʀ †ÈÇ £ðʀ §ɦðʀ†. Ì åʍ åßʟê †ð 姧阮 ïñ ¢ɦðð§ïñɢ å ʀµʟêʀ £ðʀ åʟʟ £ðµʀ ñå†ïðñ§, åñÐ ðñê ʀµʟêʀ ðñʟ¥.

And thus, the tradition started. After that it was stated that this became the world's new tradition, the box also said that this planet's new name is now Gaia. The tradition will resume every time the ruler dies or steps down from the throne, and the box only chooses people from ages 12 - 18. But after some time the box began to become bored, so he tried to talk to the locals of the splitted land now known as Gaia Island, but locals don't usually go to the borders, so the Enigma became restless and mad. One day the Enigma thought of something, and announced it to the whole world with floating speakers all across the world distributed enough that everyone, even the ruler could hear it.

This tradition style now has been going on for hundreds of years. Some reports have been said that at least 2 students get expelled every time the tradition has been done, and one report even said that they... you know what, I think this is a little too vulgar for some of you guys reading, so let's continue and skip that part. As I said this has been done for a very long time now and no ruler has gone corrupt, except for one. The pressure on him for ruling an entire world got to him and went mad, so he was forced to step down and the tradition happened again like normally.

I'm Daigon Monokuro, and this is where my story begins.
