On orientation day, The Academy is suddenly attacked by the Inerma, creatures that exist on the destruction of worlds. In the confusion of the attack, Azumi finds herself with four other students in the Drive Shaft, a facility at The Academy built to repel the Inerma.
Working together they fight the Inerma, but have bitten off more than they can chew and are finally rescued by the Student Council. By throwing themselves into the fight, the impromptu group of schoolmates becomes a full-fledged team of The Academy.
