In the Kingdom of Bauer, powerful families became the royal family and nobility, and taxation was collected from the commoners to ensure the peace and tranquility of their lands. However, with the rise of magic, this balance has been shaken. The king who upholds the principle of meritocracy, has been advocating equality between nobles and commoners in the academy, but discrimination still exists, and disgruntled academy students have started a commoner’s movement to seek equality. Amidst the tension between the nobles and the commoners, a close servant of Yu injures a student of the academy, who is a commoner activist, with his magic.
