Crystalline - Magical Girl Academy
Description
Not everyone who goes to Crystal Star Academy aims to be a magical girl. And not all the students are girls for that matter. But for certain: it is never boring at the academy.
Foreword
「History」
In 1980, 50 years ago, the Alterverse began their first in a long series of attacks on our world. They came as monsters led by generals the likes the world had never seen except in the fantasy. Normal weapons did nothing to these beats permanently: it was as if they were some supernatural force. Their herald declared the earth as their new conquest. Their ability to enter our world seemed to be confined to the area around Seoul at the time, but slowly it was spreading.
We were losing the war.
Then 10 years later, salvation came in the form of two alterverse scientists. they effectively destroyed the access their former world had, and revealed that the people of the Alterverse really were the same as their earth counterparts with one exception: they knew how to harness an untapped source of power. a live energy of sorts, that some might call magic. After fleeing the alterverse, they brought some of this technology with them in the form of the star crystal, split into 6 pieces to allow earth a chance to fight back.
This was the birth of Crystalline. At first meant to be more military, it was realized that the crystals didn't exactly adhere to conventional warfare.
Instead of guns and kevlar...
We got girls in gemstone based colors, in beautiful armored dresses, wielding weapons that looked like something out of a comic book...
「Crystalline」
Enter Crystalline: a 6 member group of women who's duty is to protect against the invasion of the Alterverse. In the beginning, at the onset of the war, they tried to keep their identities and battles a secret. But after a momentous final showdown with one of the great generals of the Alterverse, the world knew of their existance.
In this modern age, members of Crystalline are akin to celebrities. They make appearances, model, all sorts of things you would expect an idol to do really.
「The Academy」
Crystalline Star Academy was born after it was revealed that the gems only worked until the women became 30 years old. And the gems didn't always react to all girls. Also in this day and age, it was apparent that they couldn't just let the girls run amok without support. Battles were more strategic, less random. Despite the glamour the modern age brought, it was clear that the members of Crystalline were in more danger than ever before.
Crystalline Star Academy aims to train the next generation of magical girls, their operators and handlers, and to continue the research into Alterverse technology and culture. Girls and boys all aspire to join this academy even if they don't become members of Crystalline. An education here means prestige and opportunity.
And for some of these students, the real adventure was just about to begin...
