Hino Kahoko is a 2nd year student at a music academy where the students are divided into two groups: those who wear the gray uniforms are the Gen Ed.(General Education) students, and those who wear the cream colored blazers have chosen a musical instrument as their course of study. This musical academy was founded by a musician who loved everything about music and made it his life to learn as much as he could. He crossed the seas to learn more about music and one day, he found a small fairy that was injured so he decided to care for it. He told this fairy that his dream was to establish a music school in his country. The fairy, Lili, blessed the man's school of music because he has saved the fairy's life.
