Royal Academy

The Royal Academy is the highest educational institute in the Kingdom of Friedonia and is situated in Parnam. While many academies exist in different cities the Royal Academy in Parnam is the greatest and consists of a school that provides the necessary education to the kingdom's nobility and a research academy that teaches a variety of fields.

History
The Royal Academy was founded in the Elfrieden Kingdom and was mostly exclusive to the nobility with children of nobility coming for education and making connections with each other. Thus even though children of commoners can enter the school by passing examinations they were often looked down upon by nobles who instead spent most of the time holding tea parties with children from houses with the slightest of influence. The exception was the research academy which was purely meritocratic and open to outsiders regardless of their identity. As the eldest children of noble houses must prepare for their inheritance most left the school after finishing school thus most nobles in the research academy were disinherited nobles. .

When Kazuya Souma became the provisional king the "If You Have a Gift" speech and event started the a shift in the thinking of the academy which grew with the events such as Friedonia changing the evaluation of nobles to be based on their management of lands which resulted in a rush by nobles to hire educated people even going as far as hiring educated prostitutes and slaves. Then the founding of Ginger's Vocational School which recruited regardless of wealth or class and researched fields that no one had paid any attention before and achieved many successes which were then showed the Jewel Voice Broadcast program called "Nameless Heroes". As a result talent began to drift towards the vocational school.

The Royal Academy began placing greater emphasis on securing talented personnel and nobles realised that the road to fame glory in the meritocratic nation lies in making connections with those with talent. Thus if someone had something in which they specialize in they would try to improve it and when classes were inadequate clubs and societies grew. The clubs needed new members to maintain and expand thus they began searching for talented recruits and  as to even enter the Royal Academy the students need some academic capability the clubs began recruiting even those without specialization as they can be trained. The result was a mad rush with clubs competing to recruit new members,

Facilities
The Royal Academy is large complex similar to a castle in size and appears as a building made of red bricks. It was divided into two main sections, the school where students learnt basic subjects as well as skills required as nobles in a four-year program which is comparable to a combined junior and senior high school and the research academy where students performed research mainly consisting of those that finished school with excellent grades and continue down the path of a researcher.

All students are given free uniforms to prevent clothing being a mark of class difference and students of races with body parts such as wings are given custom-made clothes lifting the financial burden away from the students.
