[Prologue]
In this ancient, powerful nation, the largest in the western part of the Zemurian continent, tensions have been rising in recent years as two factions, the "Noble Faction" and the "Reformist Faction," have risen to power. The positions of the two sides were completely irreconcilable, and their conflict worsened beneath the surface. Despite the Emperor's attempts to mediate, secret battles began to unfold across the Empire.
And the same was true at the traditional military academy located on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
It was spring. Rean Schwarzer, the son of a local noble family, enrolled at Thors Military Academy. Upon visiting the town of Trista near the Imperial Capital, he noticed that his uniform was a different color from that of the noble and commoner students, and that a small number of students were wearing the same "crimson uniform."
Then, at the entrance ceremony, a young female instructor announced, "All students in red uniforms, gather together." This marked the beginning of a turbulent academy life for Rean and his classmates, Class VII.
