Young Sain Forth appears to have everything: as the renowned Holy Knight, he commands the affection of the populace, the admiration of royalty, and the blessings of an actual goddess. However, his true aspirations point elsewhere. Accompanied by his assistant Melia, he departs for an academy in a foreign kingdom, where his fellow students treat him as a deviant. That is his own fault, mind you—his stubborn insistence on wearing a custom, all-black uniform makes him stick out. Yet he is not the only outcast in his class: Alicia, born into the Clan of Light but able to use nothing but fire magic, faces similar struggles, and the two quickly become allies. Alicia suggests entering the labyrinth beneath the school to search for a holy sword, but Sain has a different goal in mind: a doom sword. And so, with his friends in tow, Sain ventures into the perilous unknown, driven by a wish to become the coolest, edgiest, most awesome thing in existence: a Dark Knight. There is just one problem. He cannot use dark magic. Not even a little.
