![]() ![]() ![]() The future valets usually have no knowledge on how the choices for valet assignments were made, though they seem to be able to request for a change of mentor during the school year and may be dismissed with the instructor-in-charge and the elite trainee's consent, with a new valet being appointed to the elite trainee.School Year Rules and PunishmentUnlike during entrance exams, nobles aren't treated any differently from those of common birth, at least in terms of school rules, though an invisible difference does exist. The elite swordsmen-in-training are allowed to choose their own valets from these 12 top trainees, with the higher ranking elites being given the right to choose their valets first. The 120 best swordsmen are accepted into the Sword Mastery Academy each year, while the 12 best of these swordsmen are additionally given the privilege of being assigned as for the that year. First class nobles never seem to enter the Academy, as they can afford to have their own private tutors.During the exam, the future swordsmen have to show off their sword style performance arts which the instructors then grade. On the other hand, nobles do not have to meet any conditions to be able to take part in the examination. However, even though those of common birth are able to participate in this examination, they must first obtain the recommendation letter of a city’s guard captain, which requires six months of excellent service. The spectator stands built all around are capable of holding 260 people - enough for every student and teacher during the biggest events of the Academy, the swordsmanship examinations.EnrollmentEntrance examinations are held before the beginning of a new school year in the Academy. Despite its impressive name, it is really just a large sports hall with a brightly polished white floor and 4 black-tiled square sparring arenas. The rooms are automatically arranged based on the placement in the combined examinations of the first year, with the top-ranked trainee being assigned room 301 on the eastern-most side of the 3rd floor, while the twelfth-ranked is assigned room 206 on the western-most side of the 2nd floor.The «Sword Mastery Academy Large Practice Field» is the Academy's main practice arena. The rooms are set up so that a single living room is shared by every 2 bedrooms. The second and third floors have 6 residences for students each. The first floor of the dorm has a dining hall, reserved exclusively for the trainees and serving plentiful meals, a lounge and a large bath, where the trainees could use as much hot water as they pleased. The 3-story dorm is in the shape of a perfect circle, with an atrium in the middle, with the rooms forming a ring around it and the trainee rooms lined up on the outer edge in the south. The novice trainee dormitory is supervised by a single person, who can usually be found either at the dorm's reception or the duty office, where all the student documents are kept.The elite swordsmen-in-training have their own private dormitory on high ground, complete with a separate bright and spacious indoors practice arena for their exclusive use beside the dormitory. There is also a large metal shed used for storing gardening equipment at the west end of the garden. Each of the flower bed blocks, separated by a cross-shape pathway, is dedicated to growing either Anemones, Marigolds, Dahlias, or Catteleyas. The garden, surrounded by tall metal fences and divided into 4 blocks of flower beds, is still considered as part of the dormitory, even though it doesn't have a roof. ![]()
