Description
Profile
Helios Academy was founded by Professor Arche and served as a place to educate students and research Hollows.[3] During the fall of the Old Capital, Helios Academy was attacked by armed forces, monsters, and a faction related to The Creator.[4]
The site where it once stood has become a restricted zone. Carole Arna, Advanced Research Director at the Academy and teacher of Belle and Wise, was among the people blamed for the disaster. Belle and Wise would later become Proxies in the hope of collecting enough data to one day investigate the ruins of Helios Academy and find out what truly happened back then.[2]
It is theorized that Helios Academy also experimented on many students. A known example being Belle and Wise, who had smart crystalline lenses implanted into their eyes and connected to their brain by Carole Arna, to fully utilise the Hollow Deep Dive System and synchronize with Eous at the cost of a greatly-reduced Ether aptitude,[5] all three were creations of Carole Arna and Helios Academy.[2] Similarly to Belle and Wise, Serpico and Truvia also received the smart ocular implants due to the two pairs of siblings had the top grades, thus they were the only four people to have them.[6] Whilst Seed was likely subject to experiments relating to machine studies, her volatile abilities relating to the control and destruction of machinery and 'defects' in her personality being a potential side effect of these experiments.[7]
