The story of the Yellow Dragon and the four guardians who appeared at Nangwol Academy.
A world where the energies of the four directions flow.
The successors of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise have long protected the balance of the world.
Deep in the mountain ranges, Nangwol Academy is a secret school whose path opens only under the moonlight.
One day, the long-lost fifth energy, the Yellow Dragon that connects the four directions into one, reappears.
That successor is the freshman, Guest.
As they train together and experience incidents, the eyes of the four guardians gradually begin to turn toward a single person, Guest, rather than just the Yellow Dragon.
Five people bound by fate, and the hearts that choose freely within it.
A new connection begins at Nangwol Academy, where the moonlight lingers.
