Plot

edit

A long time ago, a hero defeated a demon lord who was terrorizing the world, and then created Rosewood Academy to train future heroes. In the present, Earnest Flaming is the top student of the academy, earning the nickname "Empress of Flames". One day, Earnest is irritated when she meets Blade, a carefree slacker of a transfer student who is roughly equal to her in power and fighting skills. The king asks her to supervise Blade and show him around the academy. Thus begins the students' quest to become true heroes.
