The situation within the Royal Academy of Japan could best be described as organized chaotic mess.
In an effort to foster rapid skill development through intense training and competition, the academy leadership had implemented a ruthless incentive system that turned teachers into strategic predators and clubs into mini-corporations.
Each staff member received a base salary that was shockingly low, just 75% of the national median. For a prestigious institution, this was almost insulting on paper. But there was a twist.
Every staff member had to be involved in a student club. Participation wasn't optional.
Performance-based bonuses were tied directly to club success, and these bonuses were… Insane.
Ridiculous, even.
If a club won the national title, every single staff member involved would receive a staggering 1000x multiplier on their base salary.
Yes.
One. Freaking. Thousand. Times.
