The Demonic Academy is a brutal six-year training program that transforms Humans into Demons by destroying their humanity. Training includes challenges set forth in demonic wrestling rings, how to attack innocents, and how to avoid being detected by good witches. As training progresses and their humanity fades away, they earn chevrons to signify their progress. Once a human earns his sixth chevron by killing an innocent, he becomes a full-fledged demon. A human who becomes a demon in this manner can earn more chevrons and additional powers if they render great service to the Source.
The Academy was headed by Kellman, an upper-level demon who was once a human himself. For many years, he posed as a sports agent and then tricked many of his "clients" into Faustian Deals that forced them into the Academy. For his loyal service to the Source, Kellman earned eight chevrons in return before being vanquished by one of his prize recruits, Tom Peters.
Those who become demons in this manner still appear to have a soul; full-blooded demons don't have souls.
Within the Academy is an Elevator to the Underworld that leads to a demonic wrestling ring where training, battling and combat training occurs between extremely powerful demonic wrestlers of considerable stature and new demons. If the demons fail the battle with the experienced demon, they are sucked into the fires of hell for all eternity.
In an attempt to free Tom Peters from the Academy, the Charmed Ones battled the demonic wrestlers in a wager that the girls could beat the wrestlers. Kellmas agreed to the wager, the Charmed Ones defeated the wrestlers, who were sucked into the flames of Hell when the ring opened and dropped them to their death. The sisters then escaped with Tom Peters.
