He has no choice but to attend Waning Crescent Institute in District 4 of Nebula Island - a piece of land dedicated to various schools, each housing thousands of students. Armed with a remarkable Ability and a set of hidden skills, he navigates the competitive environment of the Island. However, as he faces new challenges and rivals, Cadel may come to realise that he isn’t as invincible as he once thought. What secrets lie hidden on the Island? |Author's note: While the premise is inspired by an amalgamation of several anime like A Certain Scientific Railgun, My Hero Academia and Classroom of the Elite, this is an original story with original characters! What to Expect: - Character growth- Progressive in a sense that the rest of the main cast grow from weak to strong- Training scenes for proper ability growth- MC hides his true power at the start- Ranking system- Mix of comedy and drama (with some pretty dark moments)- Romantic undertones towards the MC- Some slice-of-life moments to flesh out the characters- Occasional perspective swaps between the main cast - Honestly I'm not too sure what genre this is (All of the above + satire/mystery/thriller?) *This story is not for you if you are pedantic over scientific terms or dislike anime tropes!
