Black Academy

Black Academy is an institution founded by Ryuunosuke to train Plus and Blank in the art of battle.

Admission
The academy trains at the high school to college level. This means that the expected age of an incoming freshman is 16. This is not an enforced age limit however. Anyone who passes the school's Academic and Battle Entrance exams is eligible to be a student. Faculty reserves the right to approve or disapprove candidates regardless of their exam performance.

Academic Entrance Exam
High school freshmen-level skills are a minimum for passing the Academic Entrance Exam. However, the exam also tests for more complex college-level skills. How well an applicant performs on the academic exams determines how many general education courses they will be required to take at Black Academy.

Battle Entrance Exam
The Battle Entrance Exam usually consists of multiple stages testing various different skills. These stages can simple, like staring at your hand for 5 minutes to test for focus. They can also be complex, like fighting someone much stronger than the applicant to test for determination.
