Vivio, now a cheerful and energetic elementary school student, possesses the genetic material of the ancient Belkan king, Olivie Sägebrecht, which grants her immense magical potential.

The narrative centers on Vivio's journey as she trains in the martial art of "Divine Buster," a magical combat style, under the guidance of her adoptive mothers and other skilled mages. Vivio aspires to compete in the Inter-Middle Championship, a prestigious tournament for young mages, where participants showcase their skills in non-lethal magical duels. Alongside her friends, including Einhart Stratos, a descendant of the Belkan warrior Claus G.S. Ingvalt, Vivio hones her abilities while navigating the challenges of adolescence.
