Hello! I hope your day is going well! I'm not sure if this has been addressed before, but do students have to apply to go to NRC and then receive a letter of acceptance? Or is it just an invitation randomly sent to people with sufficient magical merit? I can't imagine Lilia applying to NRC 500 years before the current game time lol. Thabk you for any insight you can provide!
Hello hello! ^^ Thank you very much for this question!
Yes yes, NRC's acceptance system might be something of a mystery still 👀
Malleus was presumably already one of the world's most powerful mages prior to NRC, while Riddle was already at the top of all his classes.
It seems like these achievements would have influenced their selection by the Dark Mirror, except: they both attend NRC alongside students like Ruggie, who describes himself as "a middling mage" and had never attended any school at all before receiving his letter of admittance.
When describing the requirements on enrollment Lilia does not say that one must be a particularly talented mage, or even that they must have the potential to become one! All he says is, "a person has to have some magical ability to enroll at Night Raven College."
So if the size of your magic pool and past academic achievements are both irrelevant to one's enrollment, then what conditions are there?
I think "the nature of one's soul" might be the only one we have heard of as of this post, which is conveniently vague for just in case someone was looking to create a specific combination of students in order to achieve something 👀 (theories abound!)
To the original question of what the catalyst for these invitations even is: I am not sure!
Kalim says that he just "suddenly got" his letter of acceptance, and while we have heard mentions of this letter from Deuce, Silver and Sebek, no one ever mentions actually applying in the first place.
As you say, Lilia's letter arrived 500 years in the past and it seems he was insulted by it: there is no hint that he ever wanted it at all. The same goes for Leona, with both characters ignoring their letters only to enroll belatedly later on (after Lilia became a very different person from who he was when his letter was first received).
So it seems that the mirror decides on a mage's behalf that they ought to attend NRC, whether or not the mage in question actually agrees. And the mage is free to ignore the mirror's summons, or delay their enrollment until such a time as they change their mind? ^^ I believe this may be all the information available to us at this time!
(A separate question: with Malleus' various issues to do with not being invited to anywhere by anyone, has he ever mentioned receiving an invitation to NRC? 👀 memo: must check)
