The Scholar's Academy was formed by two refined scholars as a means to meet and practice martial arts with fellow intellectuals. Utilizing Swords and Double Swords, Scholars are a powerful yet fragile class that utilizes large AoE attacks, crowd control and energy removal, with the ability to deal massive single target damage.
"A social club created to show off artistic skills and techniques, the Scholars are Cultural Masters. Their Kung Fu is filled with elegant movements and style. Their skill sets derive from swords and kicks. The fluid motions of the blades look similar in style to the Wudang because of their roots in dance. Scholars’ moves exemplify the theatrical nature found in the core professions the school is founded on, so it only makes sense that the school’s Internal Skill utilizes Musical Frequencies. There is even legend told of an Ultimate Song taught to only to the higher members of the school. This Song is said to deal fatal damage internally to a foe, without leaving a trace of blood.
The Scholars and Tangmen are the only neutral schools. While the Tangmen are more violent in their dealings, the Scholars remain devotees to the Arts first and foremost. They fight to keep this belief strong in the world against those that threaten the voice of the singer or the message of the painter." -Age of Wushu official description
