Centuries after collapse, humanity is rebuilding. City-states, spread far and wide, are reaching out, in search of allies. As one such ambassador, renowned Yani hunter-turned-teacher, Basque arrives at a potential trade partner expecting to observe some classes and learn how they train their hunters. Maybe see the sights. An easy six-month assignment. Only, a few days before school starts, his mission changes from "observe" to "teach"—for five years. Given a class filled with legally-required, unwanted commoners in a school for nobility, Basque observes an administration willing to stop at nothing to drive him out, coworkers so jaded they find hazing the new guy more entertaining than actual teaching, and a retention rate that is a body count. A month in, and Basque doesn't know which is deadlier, the creatures who ravaged the world, or the school designed to train people how to hunt them. His contradictory commands are: "observe without involvement", "teach them to fight", and his personal moral imperative: "every student must survive". How is he supposed to balance these at a school where the teaching methods leave him horrified? Welcome to Dyntril Academy where survival is graduation.
