Tensions within the Erebonian Empire between the Noble and the Reformist factions are rising, and Rean is caught in the middle of it all.
"For the first time in the prestigious academy's history, rank means nothing and skill means everything," a description of the game's backstory read (via Siliconera). "With nine hand-picked students of various backgrounds and abilities, Rean included, Class VII readies itself to dive deep into the political quagmire that threatens not only them, but the Empire as a whole."
