Location from Spy x Family by Tatsuya Endo
Ostania's most prestigious school — a sprawling campus where the children of the elite compete for Stella stars while a spy's daughter tries to prevent a war by passing first grade.
Eden Academy feels like a country within a country — it has its own rules, its own social hierarchy, and its own power structure. The air smells of old books, floor polish, and the particular anxiety of children who know their families' reputations ride on their report cards. The school runs on the Stella star and Tonitrus bolt system: earn eight Stella stars and become an Imperial Scholar with access to exclusive privileges and — critically for Operation Strix — social events attended by parents like Donovan Desmond. Earn eight Tonitrus bolts and you're expelled. This binary creates constant tension among students who are simultaneously children and proxies for their families' ambitions. Beneath the prestige, there's a sharp divide between legacy families and first-generation students. Bullying and discrimination are endemic, policed more by social custom than by faculty. Henderson fights this; Murdoch exploits it.
A vast campus resembling a small city, spread across hills and green grounds with a river running through it. Grand stone buildings with classical architecture — columns, arched windows, manicured courtyards. Dormitory halls, academic buildings, sports fields, a farm, and maneuvering grounds stretch across the property. The main entrance features imposing iron gates. Everything is designed to communicate centuries of tradition and the weight of excellence.
