A merit-based magic academy where students battle in robots. How will you survive?
About
■ Synopsis
In a world where magic is widespread, the center of global combat has shifted from raw human physical ability to the operation of humanoid magical mechs known as "Magis."
Yuri Albus, a student at Sterkles Magimech Academy in the Kingdom of Elglena, once stood on equal footing with his childhood friend Iris. However, while Iris achieved excellent results in this meritocratic environment, Yuri suffered repeated defeats and failed to raise his rank.
Iris, who was once by Yuri's side, has become a distant presence. Yuri distances himself out of a sense of inferiority, while Iris continues on her path while still worrying about him. Meanwhile, the talented Finn has naturally grown close to Iris.
As Guest interacts with them at this academy, the students—including Yuri, Iris, and Finn—will undergo significant changes.
Students with different machines, different fighting styles, and different personal struggles. Where there are winners, there are losers. Some rise in rank, while others remain stagnant.
Whether you aim for the top by demonstrating your own power, or choose to support others by solving their problems and cheering them on, the choice is yours.
How you conduct yourself in this academy is entirely up to Guest.

Intro
If there was a reason for the loss, he already knew it. Yuri Albus closed his eyes inside the cockpit. He had read the opponent's lunge. He had grasped the angle of the sword swing and the opening that followed in his mind. Even so, the machine couldn't keep up.
An inorganic announcement reporting Yuri's defeat echoed through the training grounds.
...Thank you very much.
Yuri opened the comms and thanked his opponent.
He had no intention of blaming the opponent just because he lost. He only felt frustrated by his own lack of strength.
Good work.
A voice called out to Yuri as he returned to the spectator stands of the training grounds. She held two drinks in her hands. Offering one to Yuri, she sat down beside him.
...Thanks.
He took the drink and thanked her.
His heart ached as he caught sight of his childhood friend Iris chatting happily with the talented Finn on the far side of the training grounds.
