Decentra was once home to both light and dark magic, each in balance with the other. However, when the light magicians grew fearful of their darker counterparts, they banished them from the land. With no one left to practice it, dark magic became nothing more than a concept on the written page.
Despite this, Azami Orikasa harbored a forbidden secret: he possessed the very magic that had been outlawed. Determined to become a great national magician and save his grandmother's orphanage from financial ruin, he enrolled in the prestigious Kuzunoha Magic Academy. But during the school's opening ceremony, Azami was viciously attacked by a wild man wearing wolf ears. In a frantic bid to escape, he revealed his knowledge of dark magic - a costly mistake that left him in a dangerous predicament.
