Elysian Academy
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Prologue:
Elysian Academy was a rare school for the arts. The arts of training young aspiring heroes to combat the rising threat of a monster uprising. The constant war and strife among the young world was decimating populations in the millions. To combat declining populations, more babies were needed. What way was better than constantly keeping women on all fours while the men continued to thrust with millions of potential descendants. Men and women were needed at the direst time to avoid their world from being overrun by monsters.
Monsters had been a rarity, only appearing in small groups. But unlike humans they had the innate ability to reproduce in dozens rather than in ones or duos like humans. They bred and bred quickly suffocating the borders of human civilization. Technology was common but not to the point where they could wipe thousands of monsters with one strike. That was limited, they were very much still in the stone age where swords and steel weapons reigned victorious.
Only a select few were blessed by the elements of their surroundings. The numbers of humans that were blessed with the ability to manipulate their surroundings, or even supreme intelligence was bare minimum, perhaps a few hundred. Even leadership qualities were sought after if individuals weren't blessed by their surroundings. Those who did not exemplify any of these particular qualities were regular infantry. Thrusted in the front lines as sacrifices whilst they found a method to eliminate an already growing threat.
Of course, those who were seen as ineffective even in combat were sent to work the fields to provide food for human civilization. However, nations were separated by disagreements. But for the moment they're interests aligned in eradicating their enemies. Still disagreements arose in which nation should command and lead the assault. Each nation known for their particular fighting styles and specific armies.
The armies of the Commonwealth were the cream of the crop. They were well rounded in all facets in the arts of war. Their battle strategists, forges, persuasion, and even winemaking were unrivaled by any other nation
The Nether Regions specialized in poisons and the use of dark energy to supplant their small armies. Some rumors even say they have the ability to unify the undead to fight for their cause. The Nether Regions have always remained neutral among the bickering and are the most mysterious due to little information known about them.
Atlantis the second largest nation and the main rival to the Commonwealth are the guardians of the seas. Their naval prowess was second to none. The ability to domesticate marine animals was well known around all nations. Their acute ability to survive even the harshest of conditions was also known.
Alas the result of their compromise was for the Commonwealth to command the entire infantry. Whilst the Nether Region dealt with reconnaissance and espionage tactics. Atlantis would hold the control over the seas as they were more knowledgeable with their element.
Make no mistake, those who attended Elysian Academy were only the best and brightest of the noble families within these nations. The peasants and common folk were given the sad duties of manual labor and the sacrifices to the monster armies to delay the inevitable invasion.
Not much is known about the monster armies. Other than that they are led by five generals. The general's names are unknown but they are believed to be the strongest beings in existence. Human civilization had an uncanny arrogance believing they were above all. Which was why they didn't mind sacrificing thousands of their own for the greater good. So they thought..
Authors Note: Well this is kind of uh random story I kind of came up while I dealt with writers block for my other stories. I don't know I just like thought why not have a fanfic of a school training teenagers to fight till their deaths for their nations.
