Although the plan partially failed, private centers such as the Green Leaf Academy still exist. The Imperial Military Academy in Ise is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious and advanced institutions in the nation. While the academy officially trains young officers for the reborn Imperial Armed Forces, its true purpose is to monitor and train young superhumans to serve the Empire (or rather, the Shogunate). Emperor Daigo himself also studies in this academy.
