Academy Enrolment Rules

The Cyorian Academy operates on a rigid bureaucratic structure. While the time loop allows characters to restart their month, their initial bureaucratic setup heavily dictates their available resources.

1. The Mentor Assignment (Character Creation)

During Character Creation, every player must choose One Mentor Professor.

• The Choice: This choice is completely free and unrestricted by the player's starting stats or skills. If a player wants their combat-focused character to be mentored by the Illusionism Class professor, they can choose to do so.
• The Lock-In: Because this bureaucratic assignment happened before the time loop began (during the summer enrolment period), it cannot be changed. A student assigned to Professor Professor Xvim Chao will be assigned to Professor Professor Xvim Chao at the start of every single loop reset.
• The Benefit: The player's assigned Mentor is available to them during the Afternoon (Hybrid) time slots. Seeking them out allows players to ask questions, learn advanced techniques, or request custom training (earning SP or Insights depending on the roleplay).

2. Electing Majors and Minors (Day 1)

Every time the loop resets, the players start on the first day of the academy month.

On this day, they must actively submit their desired class schedule for that loop.

Because the characters retain their memories, they can aggressively change their schedule every loop to learn different things.

Majors (Mandatory)

Each student must select exactly 2 Major Classes from the available disciplines.

• Majors represent the student's core focus for that month.
• Attendance is Mandatory. If a student schedules a Major on a Monday morning, they must spend their Monday Morning Time Slot at that class.

Minors (Optional)

Each student can select up to 3 Minor Classes (0 is acceptable).

• Minors represent secondary interests.
• Attendance is Optional. A student can choose to attend their Minor class to earn SP (Study Points), or they can completely skip it to use that Morning Time Slot for Investigative activities outside the Academy. The Academy does not take attendance for Minors.

3. Violations and Expulsion

The Cyorian Academy does not tolerate truancy for its core curriculum.

• Violations: If a student fails to attend a scheduled Major Class Time Slot, they receive 1 Violation.
• Expulsion Threshold: If a student accumulates 3 Violations within a single loop month, they are formally expelled.
• The Consequences of Expulsion: Being expelled is disastrous for progression in that specific loop. The student's Academy pass is revoked. They are physically barred from the premises, cannot access the Grand Library (preventing theoretical SP gain), and cannot interact with any Professors (including their Mentor) on academy grounds.

• Resetting the Record: Because the bureaucratic record resets at the end of the month, an expelled student simply starts the next loop as a student in perfectly good standing again.
