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...

Chapter 3: Okay so the academy’s connection with Crystalline is now also common knowledge. Hmmm. DR. KAN LOVE OF MY LIFE. Ahem. Sorry. Happens. Of course he’s being an excitable adorable sunshine of a human being oh my god I love him so much already.

Ugh you don’t have selection enables why do you hate me and my need to quote Jen?! REKT to the student screaming so high pitched the gender is indeterminable xD Yes students look at your student IDs which are beautiful and amazing, totally my unbiased opinion. PFFT male specimens. See for him it makes sense that he’d think male/female because he /is/ more clinically-minded. It takes a village to raise a child and it takes a whole team to support a magical girl xD

Okay but how dare all the research students not applaud their luck that they get to be around Dr. Kan all the time the ungrateful bastards.

Aaah interesting, so everyone is carefully marked via rank. And of course our golden maknae has risen above everyone else. Overachieving xD The Golden Recruit i c u. Oooh I like how you’re fleshing out the universe with a casual mention of Crystalline Fighters. Of course they’d get their own fighting game, there’s probably toooons of merch with their faces on it. Yeah Taehyung how dare you not instantly pick Citrine, the second best Crystalline member (But Tourmaline is too good for both of them).

“The latest rumour- but not the only one!” PFFFT I SNORTED. s. s all of them.

RENI MY LOVE- ugh sorry. I really don’t have control over these things.

JUNGKOOK WHAT DID WE SAY ABOUT WORTHY OF TOURMALINE AND NOT BEING IT?? Though I guess foreshadowing xD He and Yunyi will get along indeed. “She’s…. Intense. But you’ll be fine I’m sure.” PFFFT. Putting it lightly <3 “Well, Minri’s a lot nicer.” I’m just cackling at all of this OMG. Where is the lie tho. “At least none of us are Reni’s manager” YEAH. Count your blessings, you s. Seriously though, the banter here is excellent I’m grinning as I’m typing this, it’s amazing omg.

Hah, this is relevant to our earlier sports and schools conversation, I wonder if Korean unis have their own sports teams or if it’s like Europe. Of course Crystalline is most important, it’s always most important <3 Omg look at these idiots being stick in the muds together god they’ll get along so well. Aaand then Yunyi ruins it by being Yunyi xD

RENI MY LOVE. “He totally bought cases of just because she told him so.” T R A S H.

Omg he had a posted of her this is EMBARRASSING I love it.

OMG the YunRi/ReYi is real I love them so much I am so biased omg. It’s okay Reni I’ll yell RENI MY LOVE whenever I see you <333

“Get your priorities straight” says Yunyi, not knowing that Reni’s priorities are gay as hell <33333

Yunyi my love your nerd is showing xD

Oh man the fight is so cool, I really admire how you write action scenes! It’s really to imagine the action and I never get overwhelmed or confused about what’s happening, as sometimes happens even in novels. Hani is such a , but she’s a delight to read about because of it. Minri is more steadfast and calm while Hani is all wild chaos, which makes them the best pairing. That contrast. This is also a great way for you to instantly show and tell us about the strengths and weaknesses of Hani and Minri through the commentary from the others. Really clever. And tie it is!! It does make me wonder what exactly the role of the support is in these matches, but I have no fear you’ll explore that in good time.

Omg Hani and her fanboys. She’s suuuch a and I love it. Tbf if it were over so soon it would’ve been less of a learning opportunity, not that that’s what she was thinking about, but still. Accidental good xD But also tsk tsk arrogance. And I love the fact that she’s Honeymoon so much omg.

Omg look at Jimin fussing! Hmmm helloooo misdirection your name is Minri. I saw that. Don’t think I didn’t see that. Pffft I love all the chaos and Yunyi is just like welp welcome for better or for worse little Kookie thrown into the deep.

Oh man that was a really great chapter! Can’t wait for more!!

Chapter 3: I already love Dr. Kan, and maybe I'm a Minri fan already??? C'mon, she uses a bo staff, and I'm super weak for martial arts :')
And MAN how I wish this was an anime :')
I'm looking foward to the rest x3
Also, the Crystalline members are the same ones that you put in the apply fic?
