Hyakuji High School

Original

LET ME SAY THIS TO START: Hyakuji for much of its existence has been a sleepy town in Japan, dwarfed by both the major cities in the country like Tokyo and also even by regional cities; the largest of which, Kaimu, outclasses even Hyakuji.

Throughout it's history it has suffered both tragedy and success. The town's school has had a particularly eventful history. It originally started as a manor of the Hyakuji Family. When their servents rebelled the manor was burnt to the ground killing the entire family.

While the area around the manor grew into a town, the house itself continued to be left alone and run down. Eventually it was purchased by several wealthy investors and became a private school. The school flourished for several decades until it was burned to the ground in a mysterious fire that started in the library.

More time passed and some said that the school was cursed, but the Japanese Government eventually stepped in and purchased the land at a cheap price setting up a high school. It decided to use extra funds to develop a school for students not only from the area, but also to attract students from all over the world who had developed special powers. Hiring rather unique teachers, it aimed to create a truly special place, unique in all the world. A place where these youths, with such great potential, might not only be trained to control their abilities but also cultivate their hearts inspiring them to use their gifts to do good for the world. Matching this unique and global-appealing situation Hyakuji High School was set up apart from the traditional Japanese School System in several aspects.

Hyakuji ended up being just that: a unique city and school unlike any the world over. Each year growing more and more exciting than the last but hosting such a concentrated amount of young people with super-normal abilities the city has also become a magnet for danger and evil.

HYAKUJI, ORE SANJOU!
