## Summary

In Japan, Kazuha Oda greets her friends Airi Tanaka and Tooru Saitou on their way to school. Airi tells Kazuha that she is planning to confess her feelings to Tooru and asks her to tell him to meet her on the school roof after school, despite knowing Kazuha's romantic feelings for him. Kazuha reluctantly tells Tooru.

Leaving the school, Kazuha passes by a blond man in a hood and wonders if he is a new English teacher. She turns back and sees Airi and Tooru talking to each other. Kazuha decides that she isn't okay with this after all and runs to the school roof. But by the time she gets there, she is confronted with the sight of Airi and Tooru lying in a sea of blood, seemingly stabbed to death. The blond man appears behind her and stabs her as well. He says the word "Maydare" and tells her that he will kill her without fail no matter how many times they are reincarnated before pushing her off the roof. As Kazuha falls to her death, she wishes to be reborn as someone who isn't afraid to confess her feelings to the one she loves.

In Maydare, Makia O'Drielle wakes up from her dream of Kazuha. It is the morning of her eleventh birthday, and she will be going to the port town Kartedt with her father Elliot to get a present. They enter a shop of magical curiosities, and Makia catches sight of a dark-haired boy laboring outside. She is shocked to see that he's using magic without a ring and goes outside to tell him how fascinating his magic is. The boy mocks her for finding a slave toiling away to be fascinating and for not understanding how he and other slaves feel because she's a noble. Makia decides to break the chains on his feet with magic.

Just then, the slave trader comes and sees the broken chains. He punches Thor for trying to run away. Makia tries to defend him by telling the slave trader that she was the one who broke the chains. The slave trader, not knowing that she is a noble, grabs her and considers selling her. Luckily, Elliot's familiar Freddie comes just in time to save her. Makia takes advantage of the distraction to burn the slave trader's arm to make her let him go. The boy uses his levitation magic to catch her. Makia declares that she wants the boy as her birthday present, convincing her father by pointing out his high magical affinity means that with some training, he can become a splendid magician and restore the O'Drielle house to its former glory. Her father agrees to her request and they manage to buy Thor from the trader.

The boy is brought back to the O'Drielle house and given a bath and new clothes. The boy remains suspicious of everyone, considering the O'Drielle family's infamous reputation, and confused. Makia reiterates that she took him in because she saw his potential for magic and didn't want him to remain a slave. She tells him the legend of the three great magicians and the Hero of Fraxinus who defeated them five hundred years ago. One of the three great magicians, the Scarlet Witch, is the ancestor of the O'Drielle family. She tells him that those with magical potential have the power to change the world, including him.

Makia asks the boy's name, but he says that he threw away the name his parents gave him when they sold him. Makia decides to name him Thor, explaining that it just popped into her head. They shake hands and agree to become great magicians together.
