action

Maya Kumashiro's father ( 神 代 マ ヤ , Kumashiro Maya ) is obsessed with the occult and builds the Waldstein Gakuin ("Waldstein School") on Mount Minakami , which, however, goes by the name of Occult Gakuin ( オ カ ル ト 学院 , "occult school") becomes known. Because of his obsession, he neglects his daughter Maya and the family separates. Maya did not return to school until a few years after the school was completed in 1999 to attend her father's funeral. However, Maya, who often appears in a bad mood, arrives too late and has to face the resurrection of the remains of her father. So she is initially forced to hunt down the spirit in her father's body, which she can ultimately hunt down. In doing so, she reveals a great deal of knowledge about occult beings in front of her new found friends. Not positively surprised by this arrival greeting, she sets herself the goal of destroying the school and everything that is connected to it.

Before she can even pronounce this thought, however, Fumiaki Uchida ( 内 田 文明 , Uchida Fumiaki , his first name is repeatedly misread as Bummei by other characters ) appears in front of her , which dates back to 2012 and was sent back to 1999. His mission is to find the Nostradamus Key. According to the prophecies of Nostradamus, this led to the arrival of the "Great Dread King" on July 21, 1999, which was an invasion of aliens from an alien dimension that almost completely destroyed humanity. However, a few resistance fighters had managed to steal some of the alien technology, which enables them to send agents into the past. So it is Fumiaki's mission to look for the key. He bears the pseudonym Minoru Abe (number 6) , as five other agents had failed and died on the school premises before him. His only support is a cell phone whose camera he can record all kinds of things. However, it shows the appearance of the item in 2012, so only the Nostradamus key should appear intact on it.

To camouflage himself, he poses as a teacher of Japanese history at the school and first has to introduce himself to Maya, who, according to her father's last will, became the headmistress. Maya is anything but impressed by his presence, after all, in 1999 he is also known as a little boy who became famous for bending spoons on television shows. Since she detests the occult, she shows no respect for it and reacts very aggressively. For example, if he makes false statements, she will regularly throw things at him or beat him up if he does not express or behave according to her opinion. So a very ambivalent relationship develops between the two. However, both form an alliance of convenience to destroy the key.

In parallel to the search for the key, Maya is confronted with her father's assistant, Chihiro Kawashima ( 川島 千尋 , Kawashima Chihiro ). Chihiro pulls the strings in the background and wants to become the head of the school herself. In doing so, she does not shy away from having Maya removed as inconspicuously as possible. Otherwise extremely strict and with an unaesthetic hairstyle, she takes a liking to Fumiaki, who praised her for her hairstyle based on a white lie. Since then she has had various exaggerated love fantasies towards him, so that Fumiaki is always forced to keep a distance from her. Meanwhile, Fumiaki gets to know the young villager Mikaze Nakagawa ( 中 川 美 風 , Nakagawa Mikaze ), whom he envisions as a waitress in a small local pub. A romance develops out of this and Mikaze offers him the chance to get to know the city better by chauffeuring him in her car. However, Mikaze has anything but a calm driving style and pushes her sports car to the limit. This regularly causes nausea in Fumiaki and he develops an aversion to riding with her.
