Introduction

Tokyo Butei High School is a special academic facility that trains detectives that use martial arts skills known as "butei". In the school, there was a system called Amika where an upperclassman and an underclassman undergo one-on-one training for an extended period of time. Akari, the weakest butei and dunce of the class, grabs a gun in her small hand to score an Amika contract with her idol, the powerful butei Aria-senpai!

Article 6: Think for oneself, act for oneself.
Article 7: Prepare pessimistically, act optimistically.
