Soma is now old enough to enroll in the prestigious Royal Academy, and he's eager to take that opportunity—but not for the classes. His main objective is to access the academy's vast library of books on magic. There, Soma is joined by his travel companions, reunites with his old tutor Camilla, and quickly catches the eye of Princess Sylvia.

But as soon as Soma encounters the revered headmaster, Hildegard, he senses that she has a connection to his past life—and her power to see the true extent of anyone's abilities may shed some light on the root cause of his inability to use magic.
