In 2095, 35 years after the end of World War III, which lasted for 20 years, one of the national high schools for the training of magic technicians, the National University of Magical Arts and Sciences No. 1 High School, was established. This is the story of a younger sister, a “first section student,” who is promised a future as an elite student, and her older brother, a “second section student,” who is an alternate, from the time they enter the first high school, one of the national high schools for the training of magic technicians, to their graduation.

The main plot is about Miyuki, the younger sister, whose future is tied up as a candidate for the next head of the secretive Yotsuba family, and Tatsuya, the older brother, who is also bound as the guardian of the Yotsuba family, and their attempts to seize their freedom. The story takes place during the siblings’ time at high school, and includes the stories of many characters, both on and off campus, including both “honor students” and “underprivileged students.
