Introduction
A privilege reserved only for pure maidens – a contract with an elemental. The shamanic princesses that summoned elementals from Astral Zero, and employed their powers freely were called Elementalers by the people.
Story
Kamito Kazehaya, the only male to possess that privilege, due to ties made in the past, comes to Aleisia Elemental Academy where the shamanic princesses were gathered to undergo training as Elementalers. He was told there to become a student at the academy, form a team with the shamanic princesses, and enter – and win – the Bladedance that determines who the strongest Elementaler is. Over the Bladedance that promises each winner any one wish of their choice, the story of the destiny of shamanic princesses who hide their wishes in their hearts and one boy who fights his past begins to move.
