Set in a training school for "Magic Knights," modern-day wizards who fight by transforming their souls into magic swords, Kurogane Ikki, a maverick who has mastered swordsmanship instead of magic, rises from the ranks of the "worst failed knight" to the top of the student body through relentless hard work and self-improvement!
