content
While magic was the dominant power in the past, magicians have been fought since the Witch Wars, and firearms are the means of choice. The specially founded Anti Magic Academy trains witch hunters who are supposed to fight magic. Takeru Kusanagi ( 草 薙 タ ケ ル ), offspring of an old family of swordsmen, also studies here. He can't do anything with firearms like magic and fights with his katana , which he masters so well that he can also repel bullets in flight. Together with him, the sniper Usagi Saionji ( 西 園 寺 う さ ぎ ) and Ikaruga Suginami ( 杉 並 斑鳩 ), who is responsible for the manufacture and maintenance of weapons as well as information acquisition, form test squad 35, to which the poor and incompetent students are assigned. Accordingly, the three are in last place in the ranking of all the academy's teams.
Then, however, the director of the academy assigned his adopted daughter and model student Ōka Ōtori ( 鳳 桜 花 ) to the troop that was previously a member of the Inquisition but was thrown out of it because of excessive violence. Ōtori is the chance for the group to finally achieve better performance, and it also improves their evaluation - but always alone, since she considers the other three to be incapable. Kusanagi tries to build a better relationship with her and integrate her into the squad. In addition, the director assigns them Mari Nikaidō ( 二階 堂 マ リ ), a young witch who should actually be handed over to the Inquisition and is kept secret from them. The last member is the alchemistically created half-elf Kanaria ( カ ナ リ ア ).
Both Takeru and Ōka have magic weapons called Relic Eater with their own personalities: Takeru the sword The Malleus Maleficarum Type-Twilight " Mistilteinn " , which however often takes the form of a young girl named Lapis, and Ōka the twin pistols Vlad .
