During the early 20th century, along with technological advancements, scientists were able to develop sophisticated magic. The combination of science and sorcery was called Machinart: circuits made from spells that were put into objects to bring them to life and even gain a personality. It was developed as a military weapon and has spread throughout the world. Akabane Raishin is now attending the Walpurgis Royal Academy of Machinart in Mechanical City to become the best puppeteer in the world. Accompanied by the lovely teenage girl Yaya, who is actually Raishin's puppet weapon, he plans on rocketing to the top of the class. However, his test scores come in nearly dead last, 1,235th of 1,236 to be exact, although his combat skills and determination are second to none. Raishin has to compete with the deadliest of classmates if he wants to come out on top.
