## Full Summary

Inside a mysterious compound, a demon bearing a female form suddenly emerges from a magic circle in the middle of a large hall. Ahead of her is a large door. The demon uses magic to force open the door and walks into the room. The room is dark and bears a variety of tools and magical instruments. While looking around, her eyes rest on an altar sitting under a beam of light. Curious, she walks over and touches the altar, only for a trap to be sprung. Unable to escape, the demon can only look helplessly on as an overhead machine activates and shoots a magic beam towards her.

Meanwhile, in the Magisterium of the megacity of Sacaver, two girls attend a formal ceremony. The ceremony is to formally welcome Hannah and Aytan into the magus order. During the ceremony, Hannah thinks about the events humanity has suffered that has led to this day. 250 years ago, a red star fell from the heavens and crashed into the world, releasing an unstoppable horde of demons hell-bent on nothing less than the complete genocide of humanity. During this dark time, mankind accidentally stumbled upon the use of magic, which finally granted them a chance to fight back. However, even with this newfound weapon, the best humanity could do was to evacuate everyone into the relative safety of five great megacities, with some surrounding territory. Nobody else is left.

Once Hannah finishes her thoughts, the ceremony formally concludes as well. Hannah introduces herself to Aytan, and the two become fast friends. The next day, the two meet up in the morning and head over to the Training Hall, where they encounter their tutor Anuchar. Anuchar explains to them that they will be trained separately, as society has not agreed to allowing women to travel outside the city walls, let alone the formation of an all-female expeditionary unit. Hannah and Aytan are quickly assigned their classes, with Hannah becoming a capsule support mage, and Aytan a shield mage. They then begin their crash course in training.

Too soon, the training ends and Anuchar notifies them that they will report with them to a casern. There, they will finally meet the rest of the 22nd Magus Expedition Unit and embark on their first mission. Later that night, Aytan gets anxious about the next day. Hannah comforts her and lets her know that she will be with Aytan and that as long as the two are together, things should be fine. Aytan is comforted by Hannah's statements.
