Honoka Mitsui and Shizuku Kitayama are accepted into First High. Ever since Honoka caught a glimpse of Miyuki at the entrance exams, she felt a strong admiration for her, and is overjoyed when they unexpectedly become friends. Honoka also respects Tatsuya for being an exceptional magician but is surprised to find out that he is a Course 2 student. She begins to wonder what the difference between Course 1 and 2 students are. When Honoka and her friends find themselves caught in a quarrel between Course 1 and 2 students, she tries to use magic to quell the dispute, knowing full well that it is against school rules to do so…

With the club recruitment week happening at First High School, Honoka and Shizuku, who are all-round outstanding students, are asked by various clubs to join. When they find themselves mobbed by club members, Eimi comes to the rescue, and the three of them become fast friends. One the way home from school, Honoka and her friends witness Tatsuya, who recently became a member of the Disciplinary Committee, being attacked by someone. Eimi, who is driven by her interest in this incident and in Tatsuya, decides to investigate who the attacker is. Honoka and Shizuku get pulled into Eimi’s investigation and the three girls end up forming the Girls’ Detective Club.

After observing the behavior of Mibu and the Kendo Club, Tatsuya concludes that the person who attacked him must be a member of the international anti-magic political organization, Blanche. Miyuki is infuriated by Blanche’s attempt to further the rift between Course 1 and 2 students. Meanwhile, Honoka and the Girls’ Detective Club identify the attacker as Kinoe Tsukasa, the captain of the Kendo Club. They begin pursuing him but find themselves surrounded by a mysterious bike gang. They try to use magic to retaliate, but are pushed into a tight spot when the attackers use Cast Jamming to nullify their spells.

During the public debate with the volunteer coalition, Blanche’s combat unit invades First High. Honoka and Shizuku almost get attacked but they fight back with magic. Thanks to Miyuki and her friends, the situation does not escalate out of control, but Honoka and the others are enraged with Blanche’s actions. Miyuki and Tatsuya head to the enemy hideout along with Erika in order to crush Blanche. When Blanche’s combatants ridicule magicians as being monsters, Miyuki unleashes her powerful magic on them.

First High is aiming to win for the third year in a row at the National Magic High School Goodwill Tournament of Magic Skills, also known as the Nine Schools Competition. Mayumi and the other seniors at First High are known as the most powerful team of their generation, and they are fired up about claiming victory again. However, Airi Isshiki, Shiori Kanou, and Toko Tsukushiin from Third High are determined to stop their winning streak. First High steadily stacks up points in the Nine Schools Competition, but during the Battle Board race, Mari, who was favored to win, is seriously injured in an accident. Mari, who desperately wants First High to take the overall victory in the tournament, asks Miyuki to take Mari’s place in the Mirage Bat event.

The Nine Schools Competition begins, and Shizuku goes head-to-head with Shiori in the Speed Shooting tournament. Shiori utilizes the “Arithmetic Chain” magic sequence which allows her to perform mathematical calculations faster than a supercomputer. Shiori left her own broken family to join Airi’s team, and her determination to win drives Shizuku into a corner. Honoka and her friends nervously watch the match, but Miyuki says, “Who do you think Shizuku’s engineer is?” with a confident smile. Just as she has predicted, Tatsuya has a secret tactic up his sleeve to bring victory to Shizuku.

On day two of the Rookie Events, Airi lives up to her epitaph, Éclair (Lightning), by using lightning-fast movement spells to dominate the Crowd Ball competition. Shiori is back in full force and crushes her opponent in Ice Pillars Break. While Third High steadily closes the gap with First High on the scoreboard, Miyuki makes her debut in the Ice Pillars Break tournament. The audience and the rival schools are blown away by her mind-boggling magical powers. Even Eimi is overwhelmed by Miyuki’s powers, but she must prepare to face Shiori in her next Ice Pillars Break match.

The match between Eimi and Shiori begins, with Eimi using the same tactics as in the qualifying rounds to destroy Shiori’s ice pillars so that First High can dominate the rankings. However, Shiori came prepared, and Eimi is driven into a corner. Meanwhile, Honoka takes on Touko in the Battle Board final. As a Light Element, Honoka uses her Light Magic and her ability to perceive light with her eyes and dodge the Ancient Magic traps laid by Touko. Touko takes the lead in the race, but Honoka still has some tricks up her sleeve.

The moment of Miyuki and Shizuku’s match approaches. Shizuku, who was hoping for a match against an excellent magician like Miyuki, heads into the match having seriously devised a plan with Tatsuya in order to win. Miyuki, who knows of Shizuku’s resolution, decides to challenge her with all her might. The Ice Pillars Break Final begins with a huge crowd watching on. Shizuku attacks with her strong vibration magic, but it fails to reach Miyuki’s pillars. When everyone believes it to already be over, Shizuku finally puts her secret plan into action. This technique even surprises Miyuki.
