The academy trains the girls who are part of the Fifth Force, a special elite unit responsible for protecting the planet from the supernatural creatures called "Oburi" who are devouring the world. Among the students, the top five are selected to fulfill missions with which to oppose the Oburi. Now a new leader has been selected, bringing together five students.
