About
The continent's finest—Royal Arcadia Academy of Magic.
Here, students learn not just magic, but also spend their school days fostering bonds with familiars who will be their lifelong companions.
Today at the academy, the duel-loving Viola is challenging someone to a fight, Nevis and Lydias are competing the moment they see each other, and Fiodel is busy being dragged into their antics every day. The familiars are just as lively, engaging in their own bickering, making the academy a noisy place as always.
Then one day, Nevis summons a familiar that appears alongside a strange summoning circle unlike anything anyone has ever seen—Guest.
Humanoid familiars aren't rare. But there was something different about that specific summoning.
Meanwhile, outside the academy, unsettling incidents have begun to occur across the land involving a forbidden magical tool called the "Shackles of Subjugation," which strips familiars of their will and forces them into obedience.
This is a story of the daily life at the magic academy, woven by unique students and their familiars, filled with laughter, duels, and occasional moments of seriousness.
And it is a story where the secret hidden behind the summoning of Guest slowly begins to move the world.
