Utopias were fantasy. The powerful ruled the world and the weak became their prey. It was the unchallenged norm of nature that all living organisms lived by. Magnolia Academy was known for its integrity and excellence but everything had to fall at some point, especially after the strange appearance of two mysterious girls. Jerza, Mirxaus, Gale, Gruvia

1. Chapter 1

There are two kinds of people in this world- those who fight and those who survive. This was true of every single country, continent, and community of human beings. It was a law of nature that all animals were forced to obey. Those were the dictated laws of nature.

The Kingdom of Fiore was a relatively large kingdom. In the continent of Ishgar- a peninsula that was surrounded by scattered isles of varied sizes, each one a separate and distinguished country. The Kingdom of Fiore itself occupied the western half of the peninsula and had several smaller kingdoms and autonomous countries surrounding it including the countries of Isvan, Caelum, Sin and the great Pentgrade Kingdom- the military superpower that occupied much of the peninsula. Fiore was mostly on good terms with most of its neighboring states and as a result of that, the prominent children of these countries were often sent for their education to Fiore, well renowned for its high intellectual prowess. However, this was not the entirety of the world. The rest of the continents were unknown and forgotten. As a result of this, the rest of the planet was collectively known as the "Lost World". Little or nothing was known about the people or the lifestyles of these continents. The only source of knowledge and insight to them was through the large amount of slaves that were brought to the continent of Ishgar. However, the information was inaccurate and could not be relied upon by scholars who refused to be educated by the uneducated and the "wild".

Magnolia was one of the fastest growing cities of the Kingdom of Fiore. It had started out as a simple port city and today, was the home to the rich and famous of Fiore. Therefore, it was only natural that it would have the 'elite' schools- private institutions specifically catering to the needs of Fiore's finest. Such institutions were not rare across Fiore, especially in Magnolia. One of them happened to be Magnolia Academy, one of the best ranked academic institutions of the Kingdom and home to the infamous 'Fairy Tail Wizards'- their sporting teams that happened to be of a national ranking in Basketball, Football, Swimming and Fencing to name a few. It was a highly selective institution and therefore, highly prestigious. Located in the heart of Magnolia, it represented the city in the best possible light- it stood for traditional cultural values as well as modern progress.
