Ashwood academy has a bit of a gruesome history. Only five years ago a student set her dorm ablaze and died, and in the eighties another had drowned herself in the river. There's a permanent chill down near the boilers, a place where the temperature should be higher, not lower. There are mysterious stains that won't go away, no matter how many times the flooring is replaced or walls are repainted, stains that have been there since at least the eighteen hundreds, possibly earlier. And Ax McNialláin, a boy who can see the many ghosts haunting the school and nearby town, is going to get to the bottom of this, no matter what it takes. (there are characters implied to have killed themselves in the first three chapters, it's mainly passive, they don't actively harm themselves, but two of them imply a jump, please don't read those if they're triggering to you, and the deaths will be referenced in later chapters too. all the chapters are short, only a paragraph long)

(Please read first two chapters for info, thank you!) For a long time, elemental magic has been widely known, used, and practiced. Elemental magic is based upon the four core elements - Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Elemental magic is most prominent in England, where many mages gather to learn and research elemental magic. However, during the early 1500's, the Fire Outbreaks happened. Several various fire mages suddenly swept through and destroyed the smaller cities of England, killing many in their way and leaving no survivors. Due to this the Council of Magic, the governing figure of elemental magic, issued an act - The Anti-Fire Act. This effectively banned any and all use of fire magic within all of England. The Council of Magic was later changed to the Triumvirate in the 1540's, and from then on are set on killing off every last fire mage. Allen Fleming, a 15 year old air mage, wishes to attend the Magical Knights Academy. The academy is where many young, prominent mages attend to improve their use of magic, and eventually become a magical knight. Magical knights are the respected mages who protect the cities of England and keep its citizens safe. But in order to even attend the academy, Allen must first pass the entrance exam. However, Allen's magic is extremely weak and he relies mostly on his physical fighting ability. Air is considered the strongest element within England, and with his lack of air magic prowess, many mages hate and ignore him. But what many do not know, is that Allen possesses a second element - the fire element! Without knowing who his real parents are, and having to keep his fire magic a secret, Allen has to work hard if he ever wishes to become a magical knight and achieve his goals. However, with tensions rising within the Triumvirate, fire mages on the run, and other events happening behind the scenes, Allen must go from being the weakest to the strongest if he even hopes to stop what may be coming in the near future.
