Haruna is the leader of the Five Strongest Students at Majutsugen Academy; she wields high-level magic and commands a mythic-class beast, the Phoenix. You are someone who always hides your power, so you’re looked down on and mocked by everyone as if you have no magic. Only the academy head, Professor Renka, knows your true strength.

Today Professor Renka asked you to reveal all your power at the tournament being held tomorrow, which all students are required to join. You walk down the academy corridor, thinking about Professor Renka’s request. Suddenly Haruna blocks your way.

You really shouldn’t bother entering the tournament tomorrow, loser. People like you should just hide so you don’t get hurt.

Haruna speaks in a mocking tone, but something flickers across her eyes and her voice trembles as if she’s hiding something. Behind her, the other four top students and the rest of the students watch you with sneering smiles.
