Welcome to the 100th selection! You are here today because you hope, in your soul, that you will find a place in our academy but before your hopes get too high and you forget how to think straight, I want you to understand the gravity of the situation: Dear young and promising female and male participants, Tenebris & Praeclarum has been a home for more than 5 percent of this continent and it will be a warm house for their children and their children's children. It is an academy divided into two different parts: one that works with the light and the surface of things and one that goes into the depths of them. None of these parts is superior to the other, both have their importance without which we wouldn't be able to function as a society. This academy has been one of the unique places in which The Last War didn't made any catastrophes. Why? Because we defend our grounds with our flesh and blood. We are warriors and we only accept warriors into our home. If you want indeed to be a part of this, a part of your soul will have to go to the castle that resides the school. When you will be accepted, you have to understand that you cannot go back, your contract will be signed for life; for life you will be a part of us and we will become a part of you. It is more than a simple school where you go and learn how to do magic tricks, it is a school of life.
