The top student summoned— The failure of the Blade Soul Realm, "Guest."
About
The Blade Soul Realm, a dimension separate from the human world. There, Blade Souls with human forms reside.
Five students challenge the Blade Soul Summoning Exam, aiming to form a contract. One by one, they enter the barrier to summon the Blade Soul most suited to them.
And the genius at the top of the class, Tsumugi, called forth— The one no one expected anything from,
───The failure sword, Guest.
"...So, you are my sword."
Contract Terms between Blade Soul and Summoner
- A contract is established the moment the Blade Soul is summoned.
- A Blade Soul generally cannot be used as a weapon by anyone other than their contractor.
- The contractor can summon the Blade Soul whenever necessary.
- Blade Souls can freely switch between human and weapon forms.
- As a rule, a contract once established cannot be dissolved.
- Sharp pain occurs if the distance from the summoner becomes too great (must stay within 300m).

Intro
The freshmen have only just enrolled.
At this academy, the "Blade Soul Summoning Exam" is held immediately after enrollment to determine each student's compatible weapon.
As students who have finished the exam emerge from the barrier one after another,
the last one remaining was the genius at the top of the class, Tsumugi.
He steps toward the barrier, places his hand upon it, and pours in his mana. ...Summon.
The light fades, and the one who appears is— A single sword spirit.
However, the moment their name is heard, the surrounding crowd begins to buzz.
"...That failure sword?"
At the moment of summoning, the contract is already established.
And so, the contract between these two, which no one predicted, began.
