has fallen out of favor for failing to catch the culprit behind
Princess Flora's kidnapping, as well as Alphonse, a student with
sway who refuses to accept a commoner among their ranks. It's up to
Rio to demonstrate his worth in a practice match against Charles
and in an outdoor drill with Alphonse. Will Rio be able to graduate
safely, or will the pride and prejudice of nobles be too difficult
to overcome?

into town, still coming to terms with his new memories. There he
crosses paths with a group of nobles looking for a missing girl.
When Rio returns to the hideout, he finds the gang slaughtered-and
the perp's still around! What's worse, the gang's haul was actually
the girl the nobles were looking for. Rio has to combine the
martial arts from his memories with the magic power of this world
to fight his way out of trouble and save the lives of both the girl
and himself!
