ASSASSINSPRIDE

Kufa is sent to assess the abilities of the House of Angel’s heir, whose lack of mana calls her lineage into question — but Melida is nothing like Kufa expected her to be.

Kufa plays a dangerous game by casting his lot with Melida. As for his young pupil? The school tournament is coming up, and Melida knows something her opponents don’t.

Melida and Elise look forward to the Circlet Night festival, but a kidnapping interrupts their celebration. Now Melida must undergo a trial by fire and prove herself.

The Luna Lumiere Selection Tournament is poised to begin, but the students of St. Friedeswiede are in for a shock when this year’s unexpected Cadets are revealed.

The tournament will proceed despite the danger posed by Black Madia. As the Cadets prepare for their inevitable battle, Melida can’t help but dwell on Elise’s troubled words.

When the students gather for a secret party, Melida and her friends spend their time making merry and telling ghost stories, unaware that some tales are very real.
