The story is set in a world where humanity, driven off the land by the threat of magical armored insects, now live in aerial floating cities. Thus wizards — aerial combat mages who fight the insects with magical powers — came into being.

Kanata Age (Eiji) is a young man who lives on the floating wizard academy city of "Misutogan." He was once celebrated as the "Black Master Swordsman," the elite ace of the S128 special team. However, he is now despised as the "traitor of the special team." One day, he is assigned as the instructor of E601, a team that has suffered 10 consecutive defeats. E601 has three girls — Misora Whitale, Lecty Eisenach, and Rico Flamel — with one or two peculiar quirks.

Takayuki Inagaki (Rosario + Vampire, My mental choices are completely interfering with my school romantic comedy) is directing the series at Diomedea (Gingitsune, Astarotte's Toy) with series composition by Hiroshi Yamaguchi (Rosario + Vampire, ToHeart2). Nomizu is also singing the opening theme song "D.O.B," and la la larks is performing the ending "Hallelujah."

Moroboshi launched the light novel series with illustrations by Mikihiro Amami in July 2013, and Kadokawa's Fujimi Shobo published the sixth volume in March. Arisu Shidō launched a manga adaptation in the September issue of Media Factory's Monthly Comic Alive magazine last July.
