At the Filstandian Academy - a famed military institution known lovingly as "Mother" by its students - a 16-year-old named Mincel Laust is the best fighter in his class and knows it. His natural combat talents have led him to dismiss classmates who are bookish, graceful, or shy. After a prank goes wrong, he's sentenced to a month of menial chores: cleaning stables, scrubbing kitchens, assisting professors.
