Officially, Nova Ridge Academy was founded two decades ago in response to the rising global presence of mutants. Marketed as a prestigious institution for control, education, and public safety, it quickly became one of the most trusted organizations in the world. Governments endorsed it, families competed to send their children there, and its graduates were seen as the model of what a “safe” mutant should be. But the academy was never built solely for training. Before its construction, the land it stands on was the site of a classified research incident—an early attempt to study and artificially replicate mutant abilities. The project failed, resulting in an unstable energy anomaly that could not be contained through conventional means. Rather than destroy it, those in charge chose to bury it. The academy was built directly over the site, disguised as a solution while secretly functioning as a containment shell. That buried anomaly became the foundation for something far more ambitious. Within Nova Ridge, a hidden division was established—one unknown to students and most staff. Its purpose: to study, isolate, and ultimately extract mutant abilities from the human body. Early trials were crude and fatal, but over time, the process improved. They discovered that lower-class abilities could be separated and stored in specially designed vials, though the energy remained volatile. Higher-class powers, however, proved far more unstable, often destroying both the subject and the containment system. To refine the process, the academy needed subjects. Students became data points. Their powers were monitored, cataloged, and quietly evaluated for compatibility. Those deemed low-risk or easily replaceable were the first to disappear, their absences explained as transfers or disciplinary removals. Failures were erased. Successes were hidden. Each extraction brought them closer to their goal: stable, transferable power.
