The College of Allied Health Sciences (CAHS) moved its warriors to conquer the highest rank it once secured. It is a battle of wit, skills, talents, and practice of camaraderie among the mass of raging candidates. Divided into four different kingdoms, each challenger holds purpose and firm desire to own the highest power. Would their abilities be enough to take their enemies down?
​
First to take the battle is the Clover Kingdom, divided between the Noble Realm, Common Realm, and Forsaken Realm. The Common realm is composed of Captains with a strength of a hundred mages. They are known to train the youth to be one of the magic knights where the next wizard king comes from. They are the most diverse kingdom that can flame up your battlefield and split you into pieces. They can sleep and still pay attention to their opponents. They have the most promising contenders with astounding abilities you would never expect them to possess. Fighting is their duty, and they accept every kind of mission. Not only do they negate the opponent's spell but they can repel it as well. People under this kingdom are known to have high determination and perseverance. In their presence, all abilities are meaningless.
​
Never used to defeat is the Diamond Kingdom neighboring the Clover Kingdom. They are an aggressive kingdom composed of mage generals who aim to take the opponent's place. Like gladiators, they fight to survive. They invade and steal your space when they can. They possess a spell that no one can see, and before you even know it, they have lowered your abilities. It resembles the feeling of falling into an abyss slowly, making your body and mind dawdling and unresponsive. They are highly tricky, which is the lowest level of all their abilities. Some contenders are not good at communicating but should not be underestimated because they can leave you weak-kneed or static. People under this kingdom are chosen strictly from a fierce match based on their ability to amplify their power. They were born to break their combatant.
​
The Heart Kingdom, being the richest, is guarded with trap spells along its border. It is believed that no one can get into them. The techniques of the spirit guardians are different from the other kingdoms as they are keen, alert, and private. They are abundant in abilities due to the rich nature and environment that generate them power, which is said to be as powerful as the Clover Kingdom. They have an all-knowing queen who sees everything that happens around her territory. This kingdom is peaceful, for they do not allow the unwanted to enter. People under this kingdom will show you your place once you challenge them. Measuring and ranking their talents and skills is a must! They believe that no one can match the power they hold from their nature.
​
The strong-willed Spade Kingdom is reigned by sinister mages known as the Dark Triad with the Dark Disciples. Dark spirits mobilize them as they are accustomed to the devil's power, making them fearsome and merciless. They extract their opponent's abilities for the prosperity of their own. Anyone can neither defy nor command them. They are bored by silly games, so they aim for harsh battles and make their rivals meaningless. They believe they can manipulate everything through their hands. Spade mages are powerful through bones and stones. People under this kingdom are superior and hard to defeat due to their greed for power.

Before CAHS was used to being at the top, it had undergone extreme pressure and sustained itself with various and unifying causes first. Hit the drums, blow the horns; they have come to eliminate the torn. Inspired by Asta - the boy never blessed with powers - CAHS' true magic is never giving up! No, not yet.
