12The series revolves around [[AcademyOfAdventure Bravura Academy]] which is attended by exceptional, or at least rich, students from all over the world, and beyond it in one case. While most of the student body are relatively normal kids who are just incredibly talented, but some of the students have their own secrets which have drawn attention to the school from different factions of the world. Fortunately, the school is already sponsored by Avalon, a mercenary organization that is somehow connected with the major powers of the free world.

40!!'''The ''Divine Blood Novels'' contain examples of:'''
41* AllMythsAreTrue: There is a large number of minor races which evolved in isolated communities throughout the world. Most of the modern ones look very human or can make themselves look very human. Combined with the activities of the Gods and Demons, most myths can be attributed to something real, though some species have been extinct for a while.
42* AlternateHistory: The history of the world from Divine Blood is rather different:
43** Burma, the Empire of Myanmar, rose to power in South East Asia after World War II thanks to [=MacArthur=] getting Imperialist in late WWII.
44** The US has two States in Asia: Okinawa and Shandong.
45** Warsaw Pact survived the Soviet collapse, but is in chaos right now.
46** The three major "free world" countries aside from the US include the part of China that escaped Burma's push in the late 40s and early 50s, an alliance of Middle Eastern countries and Australia.
47%%* AnimalMotifs: Naiki is a shark.
48%%* BadassNormal: Most of Avalon
49%%* EnsembleCast
50* {{Expy}}: Several Characters due to being an AscendedFanfic
51** Notably: The Precious Puppies that Hel collects are a GenderFlip {{Expy}} to Franchise/MyLittlePony
52** [[Anime/ShowByRock Rockin']] [[Franchise/HelloKitty Kitty]] appears in the forums.
53%%* FantasticSlurs:
54%%** Akira.
55%%** Also Deep One.
56* FunctionalMagic: There are several types of magic of this type.
57** Channelling is blunt, swift manipulation of Life Force (for humans, Chi).
58** Shaping are ritualistic blessings and curses formed from Life Force.
59** Magic is borrowing the inborn powers of other beings.
60%%* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Despite being the same age as his sisters, Deimosu.
61%%* MiniMecha: the Uprights.
62* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: The novel starts with a short segment titled "Conversations at a Tea Party" which is entirely dialogue with no description or other narration.
63** In fact, until Act Three, much of the stuff with the Gods and Demons is this.
64%%* PsychicPowers: Captain Trolleti and the Semezou family mostly, though there are other with psychic abilties.
65%%* ShoutOut: Several.
66* {{Tsundere}}: Played with. Yooji's tsundere act is mostly just that, an act. And she's just about constantly afraid someone is going to call her on it.
67%%** Hel Logesdottir is definitely Tsundere, however.
68%%* VanHelsingHateCrime: Actually referred to as "Van Helsings"
69%%* {{Yandere}}: Sherissie Minaba might qualify
