~!Esmeralda is able to devour the souls of mages she has defeated. She inherited this ability through her clan's vampiric ancestry, and has used it to consume the souls of over one hundred mages, starting with her former comrade and [Oliver](https://anilist.co/character/258618/Oliver-Horn)'s mother, [Chloe Halford](https://anilist.co/character/341944/Chloe-Halford). Her repeated usage of this ability is the cause of her incurable headaches.!~

It’s springtime at Kimberly Magic Academy, and new students are beginning their first year. Among them are a skilled and studious boy, Oliver, and a headstrong samurai girl, Nanao. They soon form a unique bond in the halls of Kimberly, but this picturesque school isn’t what it seems. Dark secrets and endless danger lurk behind every corner. Can these wizards make it to graduation alive?!
