The Record of Orc Civilization

Chapter 39 Military Academy

[Based on the Book, 'Queen of Monsters: Nevare']

The Human Alliance Military Mage Academy or commonly referred to as a Military Academy, is an educational institution built by combining the power, abilities, and resources of all human kingdoms that are members of the Human Alliance.

The Military Academy is tasked with educating and training humans to become mages. This institution teaches about mana and how to turn mana flow into constellations.

This institution is located in the northwestern part of the Human Alliance. It is bordered to the east by the Stonhold Kingdom, Chiset Mountain to the south, and the Elven Alliance to the north and west.

The Military Academy is not under an empire but is under the direct control of the Human Alliance.

The Military Academy has its own government and laws and is free from the legal jurisdiction of other surrounding kingdoms.

Its territory adjacent to the borders of the Elf Alliance, made the Military Academy also the headquarters of the Human Alliance.

The Military Academy became the first wall that would protect humans if the elves invaded.

Therefore, the Military Academy was built with the most modern technology and weapons achieved by humans.

The origin of the Military Academy stems from the drastic decline in the number of human mages during the first mana species war.

After the destruction of the mana gods, the surviving mages discover that the key to strength and power is mana mastery.

Then they destroy and keep secret how to turn mana flow into constellations.

Mana is becomes a secret thing. It is kept secret from the general public and only known to certain families.

These families refer to themselves as the Mana Ruling Family.

These families controlled the reins of power and ruler of the human kingdoms that existed at that time. They dominate and govern all aspects of human life.

It's an irony that once humans were also enslaved by the mana gods, but even after successfully escaping that, they were enslaved by the hero who saved them in the previous war.

However, all that changed when the war with the wood elf and night elves alliance occurred.

Unlike the greedy humans, the elves did not place any limits on the knowledge of mana to their society.

Most of the elven races have a small population due to their long lifespan and difficulty in obtaining offspring.

Every elf child will be taught how to use mana from childhood, so it can be said that every adult elf is a mage.

At first the human kingdoms only used ordinary soldiers as the main force and mages were only an elite team that would be deployed if the elves attacked the Mana Ruling Family.

Even though the human kingdoms had formed an alliance, it only applied to ordinary humans. While the true strength of humans is actually in the Mana Ruling Family.

Of course an army consisting of ordinary humans was unable to defeat an army composed of mages. Every battle of the human army and the elf army became a massacre for the human army.

The Mana Ruling Family felt threatened by the movement of the elven army that was getting closer to their territory.

Reluctantly they deployed the mage into battle.

However, these mages came from different families that were previously enemies and fought. The result was chaos in the leadership of the human army.

It wasn't even uncommon for human armies to kill each other before they could fight the Elven army. So the head of each family decided to have a meeting.

The meeting was attended by all the Mana Ruling Familes. In the meeting they divided the human territory into seven parts.

Each part of the territory is the responsibility and rights of each family. They are required to guard, rule, and protect each of their territories from any attack.

The territories were held by the seven major families and other smaller families that were subordinate to them.

The seven regions and the seven families that rule them are as follows,

The House of Spencer, ruled the kingdom of Stonhold and other cities around it.

Zietsman Clan, controls the Picfell Savanna, Lemnoque Plateau, and all the kingdoms in it.

Mahdavi Clan, ruled the Dready Flatland and all the other kingdoms around it.

The Wuhan Clan, ruled The Mountain Path of Eternity and all the surrounding kingdoms.

The House of Valya, controls the Beavercastle Ice Field and all the kingdoms in it.

House of Badakar, controls the land of Islingdosa Prairie and all the kingdoms in it.

Rangkuti Clan, rule over the ocean of Killinggamau Waters and all the islands and kingdoms above it.

The meeting became the true point of formation of the Human Alliance. Humans after that meeting became united and worked together to fight against powerful enemies for the survival of their species.

This meeting is known as The First Family Meeting.

But even so, the elven species was not an easy opponent to defeat. With the joining of other elven races, the true power of the elven species became apparent.

Humans are again involved in a protracted war. The number of mages who become victims continues to grow every day.

The Mana Ruling Family had to keep sending their mages to protect the family's territory.

As a result, their family members died one by one, the number of mages in the family dwindling.

As a family that had survived from the end of The Great Human War to the present, they had a large number of mages.

Even so, not every family member can become a strong mage.

This is not due to an error in the process of changing the mana flow into constellations, but not every child of the new generation has the talent and wisdom of their ancestors.

Many of them are too spoiled by wealth and become useless humans.

The war continued to rage on, the elven alliance showed no signs of becoming exhausted and lacking mages. Even though they had a small population growth but every elf there was an experienced mage.

The human species is getting more and more pressed, if the situation continues then there is a high possibility that their species will become extinct or become slaves of the elven species.

The peak of their fear occurred after the battle of Delin Fall. 500 mages from the House of Spencer and nearly 400,000 mortals were killed by 200,000 mountain dwarves.

The seven Mana Ruling Family decided to hold The Second House Meeting.

Located in Stonhold Kindom, the meeting lasted for 7 days and 7 nights without stopping.

The Second Family Meeting resulted in a decision that changed the lives of all mankind.

The seven families agreed to reveal some of their secrets about mana, mana flow, and constellations to the public.

They would build an institution that would teach people how to become a mage.

Every mage who graduated from the institution would become a soldier and would be required to serve his entire life to the Human Alliance.

The Stonhold Kingdom ceded the western part of its territory to serve as the location of the institution.

The institution is called the People's Security Agency or commonly known as PSA.

PSA's job is to gather soldiers and ordinary people who have the talent to become mages, train them to become mages, then deploy them quickly into battle.

With a large human population, each year PSA manages to produce thousands of mages who are ready to be deployed in battle.

The success of this PSA brought the battle with the Elf Alliance back into balance. Even the mages of the Mana Ruling Family no longer have to be at the forefront.

They went back to doing the best they could, ordering their armies to fight and revel.

However, gradually and with increasing years, began to appear PSA-graduated mages who have almost the same strength as mages from the Mana Ruling Family.

The Mana Ruling Family has never forgotten the lessons they learned from The Great Human War, which is that the key to power and strength is mana mastery.

Fear began appear among them about the possibility that PSA graduate mages will one day become stronger than them.

Until one day their position as the ruler of the human species will be replaced.

Especially the House of Badakar which uses the caste system in its government. They decided to ask for a Third Family Meeting to be held.

During the meeting, the House of Badakar explained how dangerous PSA-graduated mages are.

PSA graduated mages are double-edged swords that will one day stab them in the back if they are unable to control them.

For this reason, the Mana Ruling Family must form an institution or organization whose job is to control PSA graduated mages so that they know their place and remain a tool for the Human Alliance.

This opinion was supported by the House of Spencer, while the other five Mana Ruling Families did not have a new opinion or opposed it.

In the end, the meeting resulted in the decision to form a committee in charge of regulating, ordering, and punishing PSA-graduated mages.

The committee is called The Supreme Council.
