And, additionally, especially wanting to see Professor Loux Krystas' getting to read the legendary Grimoire of Zero, and to see more of the five-year older Zero and Mercenary, and a reappearance of the skillfully "infamous" High Sorcerer Thirteen himself, as he still out there somewhere since he had left to remain in hiding in Moonsbow Forest.

## Plot

For five years, in 531, the magical kingdom/realm of Wenias has been at peace after having endured a decade-long conflict between the church and witches ever since the wrongful death of the strongest Mooncaller Witch Sorona five centuries age. However, embers of war still burn in some regions of the world. Saybil is a hopeless student at the Kingdom of Wenias' very first College of Magic.

An infinitely powerful sorcerer, by the name of Saybil, has somehow lost all memory of his time before attending the college for three years. The magic school's headmaster Albus sends him for special training to the southern part of the continent, where persecution against witches and sorcerers still runs strong.
