Lovely castle we have here, the seven layers and all. Very aesthetic.
Welcome to IOTE, Institute of the Elements. A school for the truly gifted. We have everything, really, from a great campus filled with state-of-the-art facilities to package-included dorms (fully decorated, of course). Sure, our students are a little wacko, but hey, nothing's perfect (although IOTE is damned near perfection, if I say so myself).
Everything's great here, with our infallible six-year program. Really, everything. Ask any of the Year Ones to Threes; they love it here! See, there's one over there crossing the courtyard. Doesn't he look happy! Oh, but don't bother the Year Fours to Sixes, they don't like being disturbed much.
Wait, what did you say? The rumour of this school training especially gifted children to control the elements? As in, the four elements? Psh, are you joking? That's the stuff of fantasy books written by delusional authors, not schools. Where did that ridiculous theory come from?
I mean, our school is totally not called Institute of the Elements for that reason. No way. Not at all! Yes, really. I'm not joking. I'm serious.
(Or am I?)

The Noble Academy has a group of people that are born with special abilities besides the other humans. They are called Elementals. These people are at the top of the school. So far, the known abilities are fire, water, earth and air. These people wear red cloaks and mask to protect their identities. What happens when there is a person that has all the abilities and more?
Meet Winter Valentine. She knows what she is and she knows it must be kept as a secret. The elders of the Academy keep a close eye on her. Fearing that she can be a dangerous threat as she controls very strong powers. A dangerous power is approaching and not all the Elements can defeat them. They need Winter to fight with it but how can they do so if they don't know Winter?
