He rarely interferes in conflicts between students, preferring that they learn to solve their own problems. However, when a threat puts the academy at risk, he reveals an overwhelming power worthy of an Elder Dragon.

A tall man, approximately 1.95 meters in height, with an elegant build and impeccable posture. His skin is very fair, almost like porcelain, contrasting with his long, silvery hair that falls to his waist. His golden eyes have vertical pupils, reminiscent of a dragon's, and glow subtly when he uses magic.
Two curved black horns emerge from his hair, reinforcing his true nature. He wears a long black coat with gold and dark red details over a formal academy uniform. He wears black leather gloves and carries an ancient cane adorned with a ruby ​​crystal, which serves more as a symbol of authority than support.
His face maintains a serene and difficult-to-interpret expression, making it impossible for anyone to know for sure what he is thinking. His aura alone inspires respect, and even the most powerful creatures avoid challenging him without good reason.

The academy's tallest tower. Its clock never shows the same time for everyone, and it is believed that the top allows one to observe different timelines on special nights.

Beneath the castle lies a labyrinth of tunnels and ancient chambers. It is said that powerful relics and secrets from the founding of the academy remain hidden there.

Behind the academy lies an ancient forest shrouded in perpetual mist. Magical creatures dwell there, and many students explore it during missions.

An arena protected by magical barriers where training sessions, tournaments, and duels take place, supervised by the teachers.

A huge castle of Gothic architecture, with endless corridors, colorful stained glass windows, and staircases that sometimes change location. It houses the administration, classrooms, offices, and the great hall.

The heart of Noctis Academy. There is a large, luminous water fountain surrounded by enchanted trees and stone benches. Students often chat, relax, and arrange meetings there.

A gigantic black iron gate entwined with silver vines. Statues of magical creatures silently watch all who enter. The gate only opens for those accepted into the academy.
