Something has changed between Alto and Vermeil since their encounter with Obsidian; something important.

Alto joins the student council, but the president has an agenda of her own.

All they need to do to pass the practical exam is pour their mana into a flame. Simple, right? Wrong.

Iolite may be eccentric, but he proves himself more than a match for Alto and Vermeil.

Alto makes his choice.

Obsidian binds Vermeil into his service! But the now berserk demoness is too powerful to control, and that means consequences for everyone. Especially for Alto.

When the ignorant act on their fears and hatred, the result is a tragedy of their own making.

All Alto wanted was to graduate. Next thing he knows, he has a familiar with no regard for personal space.

The Student Council is absurdly powerful, and Alto and Vermeil’s antics have landed them in the crosshairs of one member in particular: Chris, captain of the Dragonriders.

Chris is no match for a suddenly empowered Rex, but how did he become so strong? Something sinister is happening at the academy.

Vermeil draws the attention of the school’s Dragonriders after she defeats a dragon with a flick of her finger. Later, who will become the second-year representative?

It's not a question if Vermeil's interested in Alto. It's a question if her demonic nature means she's interested in him or only in his mana.
