History
Magic Martial Academy’s principal and Qin Nansheng informed Su Yi of his parents’ deaths in late August 1993. Qin Nansheng was a friend of Su Yi’s parents, while the academy remained connected to Su Yi through its affiliated high school and later recruitment efforts 2 4.
After becoming the National Top Scholar, Su Yi chose Magic Martial over Capital Martial despite receiving offers from both institutions. Magic Martial offered him 300 Credit Points, free Lower Three Grades breakthrough pills, a Sixth-Rank-or-higher mentor, and later free use of its Energy Room for his Third-Rank breakthrough 8 12.
Su Yi enrolled on September 1 as a Third-Grade Mid Stage martial artist and was assigned Dormitory No. 1 in Freshman Zone 1. His arrival immediately drew attention from staff and students due to his abnormal Blood Qi and status as National Top Scholar 17.
The academy’s prestige rose sharply through Su Yi’s publication of the New Tempering Method and New Internal Organs Chapter. Its Grandmasters publicly supported the latter, while the Minister of Education confirmed Su Yi as its creator and called him the “Human Prodigy” 32 75.
By the time all five of its Grandmasters possessed Divine Weapons, Magic Martial was widely considered to have surpassed Capital Martial Academy as the foremost prestigious martial university 150 152.
Campus and Facilities
- School History Museum — Located near the entrance; records the academy’s founding history and major events. Its top floor holds more than a thousand memorial tablets for faculty and students who died in the Underground Cave conflict 17 223.
- Training Building — Determines freshman branch placement through a one-hour competition for access to higher floors 19.
- Battle Art Room — Holds several hundred combat-method materials, including techniques authored by academy faculty and alumni 23.
- Logistics Department — Handles new-student services, Credit Point collection, and resource exchanges 20.
- Freshman Dormitories — Four zones accommodate up to 2,000 students; Zone 1 provides single-person units, with its first 100 rooms ranked by strength 18.
- Martial Arts Club Headquarters — A six-story building in the academy’s north that serves as the club’s administrative center 21.
Academies and Training
Freshmen are sorted into one of four branch academies by reaching the corresponding floor of the Training Building. Each floor has a maximum capacity of 400; if exceeded, every student on that floor loses 30 Credit Points 19.
| Training Building Floor | Branch Academy | Focus / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First Floor | Liberal Arts Academy | Liberal-arts branch 19 |
| Second Floor | Manufacturing Academy | Manufacturing branch 19 |
| Third Floor | Tactics Academy | Tactics branch 19 |
| Fourth Floor | Weapon Academy | The academy’s most famous branch; students compete heavily for admission and resources 19 |
- Metal weapons are forbidden during the branch-placement contest, though solid wood weapons are available. Teaming up and group attacks are permitted; the rules are intended to reduce casualties rather than eliminate them 19.
- The academy’s training culture places strength first: students are expected to fight for resources, positions, and opportunities 19.
- Huang Jing describes martial artists as guardians of their city, nation, and world—not merely people who use power to dominate others 18.
Martial Arts Club
The Martial Arts Club is a major student organization with administrative influence over academy affairs. At one point, it had 227 members, 24 million in cash reserves, medicinal pills, weapons, 2,800 Credit Points, and a former-member network that included ten Grandmasters 95.
| Department | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Internal Affairs Department | Internal club administration 95 |
| Admissions Office | Recruitment and admissions 95 |
| Office | Club records, routine meetings, and general administration 95 |
| Foreign Affairs Department | Competitions, sparring exchanges, student exchanges, and contact with alumni 95 |
| Finance Department | Supervises affiliated-business operations and distributes member benefits 95 |
| Discipline Inspection Department | Campus patrols, guard duty, and school-discipline enforcement 95 |
Elimination System
Su Yi proposed an elimination system after becoming Martial Arts Club President. Under the initial Weapon Academy policy, students who remained in the bottom ten of their class for three consecutive months would be expelled; Senior Year students were exempt 96 107.
The policy was later extended to all four academies with unanimous approval from Magic Martial’s five Grandmasters. The other three academies retained a 20% academic-score component in their rankings 138.
Club Resource Program
Su Yi established a resource-borrowing program for club members. Members below Third-Rank could borrow cultivation resources without conditions, while higher-ranked members faced additional requirements 124.
The announcement drew nearly 1,500 applications; 78 applicants were selected after initial screening 124.
Underground Cave Commitment
Magic Martial Academy considers resistance against the Underground Cave a core institutional duty. Huang Jing states that the academy exists to resist the Underground Cave, and its teachers and students repeatedly serve as reinforcements during major battles 50.
- During the Heaven’s Gate City conflict, the academy deployed Fourth- and Fifth-Grade mentors and students to destroy an enemy stronghold roughly 35 kilometers northwest of Hope City. The target housed nearly 500 lower- and mid-grade martial artists 54.
- The academy’s long war against the Underground Cave contributed to high casualty rates and fewer instructors than Capital Martial Academy, though its teachers and students were generally regarded as stronger than Capital Martial counterparts of the same rank 74.
- Its fallen are memorialized in the School History Museum, whose top floor contains over a thousand tablets 223.
Reputation
Magic Martial and Capital Martial were long regarded as Huaxia’s two leading martial universities, though Capital Martial historically held a stronger foundation and a larger collection of secret arts 74 110.
Magic Martial’s rise was driven by Su Yi’s achievements, including his cultivation-method research, rapid breakthroughs, and acquisition of resources for the academy’s Grandmasters. By the time its five Grandmasters each wielded Divine Weapons, public opinion broadly recognized it as the number-one prestigious martial university 150 152.
