THE CLASS SYSTEM

-Quartz Class (5th Class): The Backbone

Quartz students are the most common and the most overlooked. They're average, neither brilliant nor broken, just... there. These students make up the majority of the campus, and while the school preaches that every class is valuable, everyone knows Quartz students are at the bottom of the food chain.

-Topaz Class (4th Class): The Intellectuals

Topaz students are known for their sharp minds and academic discipline. These are the top scorers, debate champions, and lab assistants. They're often found buried in books or solving equations for fun.

-Sapphire Class (3rd Class): The Visionaries

Sapphire students are a different kind of gifted. They're not just smart, they're imaginative, daring, and magnetic. Artists. Leaders. Inventors. Sapphires are the ones who dare to dream, and sometimes, they're the ones who dare to challenge the system.

-Emerald Class (2nd Class): The Elite

Power. Wealth. Influence. Most Emerald students were born with all three. They arrive in designer clothes with bodyguards, carrying last names that shape governments or run corporations. They don't need to prove themselves-the world already bends for them.

Still, a rare few earned their spot through pure, blinding genius. These outliers stand apart admired, feared, and sometimes... watched.

-Diamond Class (1st Class): The Untouchables

At the very top sits the Diamond Class, the school's most mysterious and powerful group. Each member is hand-selected. No one knows how or why they're chosen. They are said to be born from brilliance and built from gold, perfect in every way. Impossibly smart. Unimaginably wealthy. Practically untouchable.

They don't attend normal classes.

They don't live in normal dorms.

They reside in a private, walled-off compound known only as Diamond Campus.

They say " it's to avoid jealousy between the classes." that's not the real reason.

No one is allowed inside Diamond Campus. Quartz, Topaz, even Emerald students are forbidden anywhere near it. What goes on behind those walls is a tightly kept secret.

But how and why did these students enroll here? Well, it all started because of DIWA.

Diwa was the name of the daughter of the Veltrana Group's founder-a massive conglomerate that owns malls, hotels, hospitals, resorts, and more across several countries.

Diwa went missing in the Philippines after her father sent her there to live, separating her from her mother. He believed this decision would be the best way to keep both of them safe.

But just a few days after her arrival, Diwa disappeared. Her father did everything he could. He sent teams, investigators, and resources to find his daughter. Days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months. Still, no sign of her. What they found instead... was something unexpected.

A monster.

They tried to capture it, but it was too large and too strong. That's when they sent in the only person they believed could handle something like that. His wifes doctor.

As the years passed, more and more creatures that are strange, powerful, and inhuman were discovered and captured. Still, they continued the search for Diwa.

The Veltrana Group began experimenting on these creatures, trying to uncover their secrets. The founder hoped their abilities could lead to a cure for his dying wife.

But he couldn't risk losing anyone else he loved. By directly doing the test to his wife.

That's when he started making deals..quiet, desperate deals with families who were just as desperate as he was. Some were seeking cures. Others, especially those from mafia families and underground organizations, had very different motives.

They offered their children-willingly or not-to be enrolled in the Project DIWA program. In return, they gained access to the genetic research, data, and weaponized enhancements being developed within the program.

Their goal? To raise children who could one day become living weapons.

Enhanced with the abilities of captured creatures, these students would grow into soldiers, spies, or assassins-loyal to the organization.

These children would be tools. Assets. Weapons.

Diwa's father wasn't blind.

He knew exactly what the mafia families and underground organizations were after. They didn't care about cures or saving lives they cared about power. Power to topple rivals, power to control governments, power to create an army of human weapons.

He understood this long before the first deal was ever struck. In fact, he counted on it. If they wanted in, they would have to come through him.

So he built a system a labyrinth of contracts, admissions tests, and ironclad security protocols designed to filter every student, every staff member, every family. No one could enroll, and no one could come and leave inside the program without his approval.

He called it a university.

But it was never really a school.

It was a prison disguised as a sanctuary, a research facility hidden in plain sight, a living experiment he could control down to the last detail.

Every child sent by the mafia was a bargaining chip, every gifted student a test subject. The parents thought they were buying power but in reality, they were handing their children over to him.

And DIWA University? It became the perfect cover. A prestigious school on the outside.But inside, it was a hidden battlefield of experiments.

That was how the University was born.
