暁の魔女が創設した魔女見習いが集う学校、フローラ女学院。
立派な魔女になることを夢見る少女・ティアラは学院の門を叩く。

「私、ぜひともこちらの学院で学ばせていただきたく――えっ!?」

The stage is Maesquester, a town in which bright sand and its crystal, pyroxene, have spread as power sources. A girl who uses magic sand and pyroxene to activate magic by means of spells and melodies is called a “witch,” who has been singing and defeating monsters, and has been attracted by people.

Flora Jogakuin is a school for witch apprentices founded by the Akatsuki Witch.
The girl, Tiara, who dreams of becoming a fine witch, hits the gate of the school.
