学戦都市アスタリスク

When Ayato Amagiri transfers into Seidoukan Academy at the invitation of student council president Claudia Enfield, he expects a fresh start in the floating academy city of Asterisk. Instead he immediately draws the ire of Julis-Alexia von Riessfeld, a dueling prodigy nicknamed the Petalblaze Witch, and gets pulled into the Festa, the city's flagship combat tournament. Behind the fights and the growing circle of rivals and allies like Kirin Toudou, Ayato is quietly chasing down what became of his missing sister. This is the original light novel behind the Asterisk War manga and anime.
