Morant and Dawn Academy
Description
A special-forces soldier from a past life (the 'Iron Wall' unit) is reborn into the body of Little Locke — the exiled second son of the impoverished Norton knight family, ten years a student at Dawn Academy in the free city of Morant. Under the name Lorist he becomes a famous instructor: he devises a simplified method of awakening Combat Force, trains students' dynamic vision, and earns the title 'Silver Undefeated' with three thousand consecutive duel wins.
These chapters establish the world: Combat Force and its ranks, the Forde Commercial Alliance, mercenaries, academies, trade. Lorist gathers friends (El, Fatty Shi, Terman) and a fortune, regarding Morant as home.
