Reaching for the Stars
Three idiots have sworn a pact: they will, all three, get into Yiselxà Academia any way possible. Problem? Outsiders have to do a lot to prove themselves. Either one of them creates a brand new alchemy formula, discovers a new plant (that's useful) and write a thesis on it, or somehow receives B-Rank accreditation from the Guild.
Yeah.
Klevi likes the idea of fighting to the top, showing that they are strong enough to be there! But accreditation of that level can take years if you aren't willing to fight in the wastelands. So, no.
Aduhi dreams of innovating a brand new method of alchemy that can use solar magic, bringing a whole industry to her homeland. Technically, if she succeeded in that she would definitely get in, and it would be so impressive her friends could come with her. She needs more theoretical basis in alchemy before she can even try though.
Which leaves Talle's plan: reach for the skies! Or rather, climb a harukoumu, despite the fact all of best ones are sacred grounds under heavy guard and over 400 meters tall, investigate the canopy forests, and find a brand new reagent to submit to the Academia council.
Well, alright then. This sounds like a good plan.
