In a realm besieged by mystical perils, elite fighters called Inquisitors are charged with averting danger through non‑violent means. The Anti‑Magic Academy, a dedicated institution, trains these agents by dividing pupils into compact units that learn to cooperate. The Academy"s curriculum stresses stealth, negotiation and the use of anti‑magic artifacts to neutralize threats without bloodshed. Among these groups is the 35th Trial Battalion, nicknamed the "Small Fry Squad" because of its low status and frequent failures; peers mock them for their lackluster performance.
Suddenly, everything shifts when Ouka Ootori—a formidable yet defiant ex‑Inquisitor—must join after her propensity for rule‑breaking and a grave transgression: the murder of a witch. Her reputation precedes her; she is known for daring tactics and disregard of protocol. Ouka"s arrival sparks clashes with their inept commander, Takeru Kusanagi, and provokes heated debate over her stance on witches. The squad"s internal dynamics are strained: Takeru is clumsy, while the other members lack confidence. To rise within the Academy they must first set aside personal feuds, trust each other"s skills and coordinate their abilities as a cohesive unit.
