Malinian Combat Institution

The Malinian Combat Institution (MCI) is an academy where Dhragolon peacekeepers attend in preparation for joining the KWD. It essentially serves as a training ground. Attendees have the option of living in the dorms.

Entry Requirements
There are no entry requirements to join other than a sincere willingness to carry out the role of a peacekeeper. However, children are accepted before anyone else as training takes several decades for the average Dhragolon.

Teaching Style
The MCI focuses on individuality; everyone advances at their own rate. Rather than having a set schedule for every student to follow, students have to complete sets of tasks throughout their time in the academy. These tasks can be as simple as completing a written assignment to something much more complicated and difficult such as running a certain amount of laps around an agility course.

First Stage
The first few months of training focus mainly on teaching a student to think clearly and analyze situations. The use of deductive skills are heavily emphasized. Basic courses such as math and science are taught to familiarize the student with their world. These courses are taken throughout the first half of their training.

Second Stage
The second stage focuses primarily on combat. Candidates start off by fighting against holograms and then eventually spar against one another. The final exam, when passed, is the ticket for graduation. The exam involves a tournament involving random match ups of students. Students are not evaluated based on the fact of whether they win or lose, but how they approach their opponent.

Tasks
As it usually takes several decades to complete training, their are literally thousands of tasks making them impractical to list them all. To top it off, each task list is different for each student. Tasks are created based on their abilities.

Courses are divided into tiers. Generally, higher tiered courses are very difficult. Most courses go up to five tiers. However, some courses are not broad enough to have their own tiers, but are divided into sections which can be taken in any order.
