Plot
Humanity was driven off the land by the threat of magical armored insects and now live in aerial floating cities. Its defenses lie in wizards who fight the insects with magic in mid-air. Kanata Age is a young man who lives on the floating wizard academy city of "Misutogan." He was once celebrated as the "Black Master Swordsman," the elite ace of the S128 special team. However, he is now despised as the "traitor of the special team." One day, he is assigned as the instructor of E601, a team that has suffered over 100 consecutive defeats. E601 has three girls -- Misora Whitale, Lecty Eisenach, and Rico Flamel -- with one or two peculiar quirks.

- Voiced by: Risa Taneda (Japanese); Jad Saxton (English)
- Member of Platoon S128, who used to idolize Kanata, but since she was unconscious when he charged alone, she now sees him as a traitor like most of the academy.

- Rico's older sister and supervisor of the Sky Wizard Platoons. Despite disliking her sister's attitude, she occasionally asks Chloe about her progress.
