Synopsis:

In a world where soul manipulation grants extraordinary power, Hagun Academy serves as a training ground for aspiring Mage-Knights. Ikki Kurogane, an F-rated Blazer – individuals capable of forging weapons from their souls – exists in the shadow of his peers. His perception shifts dramatically when Stella Vermillion, a highly ranked Blazer and princess, issues him a duel. The terms are stark: defeat means enslavement.

This sets the stage for Ikki’s journey to overcome limitations and prove himself in a society that underestimates him. Through unexpected alliances and rigorous training, he confronts not only his rivals but also internal doubts about his abilities. The series explores themes of self-worth, perseverance, and the complexities of power dynamics within a structured environment, offering a character-driven narrative focused on personal growth amidst intense competition.
