Plot

Eito Akashi has somehow failed every high school entrance exam. That is because an agency has kept him from doing so, so he can enter their school for training agents. Uninterested at first, he discovers his father was an agent. Wanting to find the cause of his father's death, he enters the school, armed only with his determination.

Characters

Eito Akashi (明石 エイト, Akashi Eito)
Eito is a normal person but is very determined and hard working. He is very selfless and will risk his life to save others. Eito joins the academy to find out more about his father, who was an agent, and to find the cause of his death. While not gifted like other students, he is very observant and quick to improvise.
Ayame Kido (城戸 あやめ, Kido Ayame)
Ayame is a prodigy, often followed by her pet owl Koton. She shows little emotion and is socially awkward, but becomes cold when on missions. It is later revealed she comes from a long-line of assassins, but she was rescued by Eito's father.
