Blade Dance of Elementalers - S01

On his way to Areishia Spirit Academy, Kamito Kazehaya accidentally stumbles upon Claire Rouge, a student bathing as part of a purification ritual. She had been trying to form a pact with a powerful spirit to grow stronger as an "elementalist," but her plans fall apart when Kamito ends up bonding with the spirit instead-despite the fact that only shrine maidens are supposed to wield such power. Undeterred, Claire declares that Kamito must now become her contracted spirit. After arriving at the academy, Kamito manages to slip away from Claire and meets the headmaster, Greyworth Ciel Mais, who offers him a place at the school. Though reluctant, he agrees to enroll-despite being the only male student surrounded by shrine princesses-in-training-in exchange for clues about his former spirit partner, Restia Ashdoll. To make matters more complicated, Greyworth also tasks him with winning the upcoming Blade Dance, a high-stakes battle festival in two months, where he’ll have to face the strongest elementalist-one rumored to be bonded with a spirit of darkness.
