Noren Academy No. 1

Kind	Academy and Workshop headquarters 5
Base	The Noren Workshop's most central academy 10
First appearance	Ch871

The Noren Workshop's first and most central academy, founded by Noren himself.¹⁰ It is one of the top ten academies that recruit annually and alone produce tenth-level geniuses, David Colmar and Seraphina Nightshade among them.¹ It serves as the Workshop's muster point for high-level wizards and as the venue of the Wonder meeting.⁸¹⁰

Overview

The academy is reached from the headquarters plaza by force-field roads that exceed the sound barrier.⁴ Fourth- and fifth-level wizards are everywhere inside, sixth-levels are common, and many wizards take elemental or spirit forms.⁵ Guest rooms are laboratories with a small rest corner.⁶ Its grounds hold mountains and rivers, with Anton Buchanan's tower on the steepest peak.⁷ Its plane cluster already sees most newborns born with wizard talent.⁹

Structure

• Main square: Assembly point for the Workshop's high-level wizards before departure; wizards below the sixth level withdraw from the pressure.⁸
• Main hall, independently opened, seating several thousand for the Wonder meeting.¹⁰
• Eastern-district side hall: The First Investigation Team's assembly point.¹¹
• Teleportation plaza of black metal flooring under simulated daylight.¹²
• Anton Buchanan's tower on the steepest peak.⁷
