FROM A CLASH OF SWORDS, AN UNSHAKABLE BOND

Springtime at Kimberly Magic Academy brings a new batch of first-year students, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as they begin their journey to become full-fledged mages. Among these newcomers are Oliver Horn, a studious boy equally skilled with the wand and the blade, and Nanao Hibiya, a strong-willed samurai girl from the distant nation of Yamatsu. The wheels of fate bring these two souls together at Kimberly, where they become both comrades and rivals in equal measure. However, lurking within the academy's halls are countless dangers and dark secrets guaranteed to threaten not only their friendship-but their very lives...

ONE CHALLENGE AFTER ANOTHER!

Halfway into the school year, Oliver's and Nanao's magical prowess has garnered them considerable respect from their classmates. Nevertheless, the question remains: Who is the strongest first-year at Kimberly Magic Academy? So begins a battle royal--style tournament to defeat Oliver and Nanao in combat, and many competitors are eager to throw down the gauntlet. Some, however, will use this opportunity to set their own nasty schemes in motion...

A DESCENT INTO MADNESS

Pete's abduction at the hands of Ophelia Salvadori's chimeras has the entire academy in a frenzy and Oliver's group reeling. After all, what can a bunch of first-years do to save their friend from Salvadori, who's been "consumed by the spell"? At this pivotal moment, a certain someone offers a deal to help rescue Pete from the witch holding him captive within the depths of the school's perilous labyrinth... but will Oliver and his classmates succeed in their desperate mission and live to tell the tale?

DON'T LET THE MASK SLIP

Another year gone at Kimberly Magic Academy means a new crop of first-year students. Oliver and his classmates, now second-years, see their studies becoming increasingly intense. The reality of life as a mage is a cold slap in the face... Nanao, meanwhile, is grabbing attention left and right due to her skills with a blade and her broom-riding talents. Dying for a reprieve, the six friends take a brief trip to the magicity of Galatea... but is their bond proving detrimental to Oliver's clandestine duties...?

VENGEANCE WILL BE HIS

The Sword Roses are blossoming into proper Kimberly mages, but that growth doesn't come without trials: Magical biology continues to bring Katie anguish, and an upperclassman is putting Guy through labyrinth boot camp. Meanwhile, Oliver has set his sights on his next target-Enrico Forghieri.

When Enrico whisks Pete off to his laboratory with Nanao and Oliver hot on their heels, the three friends get a horrifying glimpse of the longstanding conflict between mages and Gnostics. This may be the perfect opportunity for Oliver to finally exact his revenge on the mad old man...

TAKE TO THE SKIES

A second faculty member's disappearance in as many years sends shock waves through Kimberly Magic Academy. Without any clues as to the culprit's identity, the headmistress is treating everyone as a suspect. Amid this turbulent state of affairs, the student body presidential election is fast approaching, and the incumbent president, Godfrey, has yet to back a successor. Meanwhile, Nanao endeavors to help star athlete Ashbury, who's hit a wall trying to improve her broomriding speed. To top it all off, there's a shady new transfer student prowling the school! Yet as friendly as he is, no one seems to know much about him...

The broomsports combat league has begun at Kimberly Magic Academy! Eager to showcase their growth as they enter their third year at school, Oliver and his friends split into three-person teams and enter the event. Nanao and her teammates, considered the top students of their year, are in for a fierce battle when they are targeted by other teams. Meanwhile, the general election for the student body president is finally underway, and the investigation into Enrico's disappearance continues... Will they ever find the person responsible?

DEATH COMES FOR US ALL

The Kimberly Magic Academy combat league is heating up with the upperclassmen now going head-to-head! Meanwhile, the Sword Roses - joined by several seniors - delve deeper into the labyrinth in pursuit of Rivermoore, who has stolen one of Godfrey's bones for purposes unknown. They find themselves on the necromancer's home turf, a veritable kingdom of the dead where hordes of skeletal beasts and ghastly foes are at his beck and call. Will Oliver and friends manage to fend off his onslaught and recover Godfrey's missing sternum? What role does the coffin on Rivermoore's back play in his schemes...?

The combat league is reaching its climax, and the four teams that fought their way there are ready for center stage. First is Oliver's team against Team Valois, a trio of tricky sword arts users whose leader harbors an unnatural loathing ready to bubble up to the fore. Team Cornwallis will face the favorite to win the league: Team Andrews, a ragtag group of dynastic talent and unbridled chaos. Demitrio, the astronomy instructor, makes a rare appearance among the matches' spectators; the philosopher seeks the culprit behind the faculty murders, and his eyes are trained on Oliver's team...

THE PAST RISES TO THE FORE

It's the final round of the combat league. Godfrey and Leoncio clash like titans, and Kimberly gets a new student body president. As the dust settles, Oliver is faced with Nanao's desires, Yuri's absence, and his comrades' plans to strike down a third target: Demitrio. The faculty's investigation demands swift action--so the battle begins. Demitrio reveals secrets from the age of the divine. The comrades' path to victory collapses beneath them. And the desperate struggle begins to uncover even more dire secrets: ones trapped deep within Oliver's past...

A FLEETING RESPITE

Oliver and his friends are about to start their fourth year--but first, a nice, long vacation! They plan to sail around the Union, visiting several of the Sword Roses' homelands, including the Aalto abode up north in Farnland with its huge forests and countless lakes, and the famous McFarlane manor in the south of Yelgland where Chela's mother lives. During this voyage, they'll meet people from all walks of life who will broaden their horizons... in what may be the group's last chance to enjoy their time beyond Kimberly's walls.
