Seasons & Episode
Knights hold lances and thrust at each other with them. It's jousting. Mizuno Takahiro goes to Winford Academy and wanted to be a knight, but he got hurt, and stopped working towards that dream. Now he's a begleiter. He doesn't have a partner yet. Lots of women abound. There's a lot going on.
Takahiro elicits helps from Noel a second-year knight student who wants to show just how strong she is by helping to train Mio. The day of the duel comes, and Mio doesn't just learn how fun jousting can be, but also how tough. You'll be surprised how different Mio looks when she shows up to meet Takahiro in the morning. It's time for Mio's duel with Bertille. What will happen?
Akane Ryuuzouji: a woman given an A-ranking in the knight division, a trusted confidant of Mio, and also hails from the same land as Takahiro. A girl in black armor appears before Akane. Akane gets into a fight with some underclassman, and as a result ends up having to fight that black knight. The first year Lisa Eostre is the one wearing that suit of armor! Meanwhile, Mio find herself lost now that she doesn't need to joust anymore...
The girls go to Bertille's summer home to go and train for the upcoming summer tournament. This house even has a outdoor bath, but the girls work hard, sometimes having fun along the way. Takahiro and Ayako are there as support to help out. Takahiro learns why Noel wishes to fight one night, and also learns more about himself. Mio runs into Takahiro in the bath during his reflection. The girls show up looking for Mio and high jinks ensue.
On the day before the summer tournament is the Miss Winford Contest, a competition to decide the most beautiful girl in the academy. Amid the excitement around the school, a rumor spreads that Takahiro will become the winner's begleiter!
It's finally the day of the summer tournament. Takahiro, who is participating as a begleiter, tries to convey his intentions to everyone, but an emergency suddenly takes him away from the action.
As the tournament reaches its climax, Akane and Celia face off on the quarterfinal stage. The Akane who couldn't even talk to her admired senpai before is nowhere to be found, and both fight with all their strength. Then, as the semifinals are about to begin, Noel's father arrives at the academy...
Horses dashing gallantly... Knights challenging their own limits... Magnificent, heroic battles highlight the horseback lance sport of jousting. One of the many people fascinated by this proud sport, Takahiro Mizuno, acts as a begleiter (an assistant) to jousting knights as he lives his rather tedious life at Winford Academy.
