The "Academy" is a school island where students compete against each other in duels called "games" to determine their rank. Hiroto Shinohara achieved the highest score in the entrance exam for the school island, which is the most difficult in Japan, and defeated last year's overall winner, Sarasa Saionji, on his first day at school. He joins the "Seven Stars," who rise to dominance faster than anyone else in history. To fulfill his mission on the island, he must remain at the top, even if it means lying. To achieve this, he is willing to do anything, including falling for the trap set by Himeji, the beautiful maid who serves as his teacher, and conspiring with Saionji, who is actually a fake woman.
