The "school sword action" story revolves around Magic Knights, modern magic-users who fight with weapons converted from their souls. Ikki Kurogane goes to a school for these Magic Knights, but he is the "Failed Knight" or "Worst One" who is failing because he has no magical skills. However, one day, he is challenged to a duel by Stella, a foreign princess and the "Number One" student. In this duel, "the loser must be obedient for life."

There's always a few these types of shows every season but I always find myself watching one or two each time. Overall, compared to some others, this one had a pretty nice first episode and I think it could have some potential, but my experience with the promotional manga makes me think we are in for an all too familiar ride.
