Blazing Fire Academy

Biodata

Background

Blazing Fire Academy is one of the prominent Five Elements Academies and recruits Soul Masters with fire-attributed Martial Souls. During recruitment periods, it posts notices throughout its sphere of influence and sends disciples to scout prospective students. Its reputation exceeds that of the contemporary Shrek Academy. 3

Murong Ci chose the academy as his destination after the Chaos System offered it as one of three possible academy missions. He arrived in Heaven Dou City a month later, passed its entrance examination by defeating Huo Wu, and was immediately admitted as a core disciple. 2 3

The academy is situated in the southern sector of Heaven Dou City, reflecting the association of the south with fire. Skywater Academy occupies the northern sector, while the other elemental academies are positioned around the city. 31
