"Nia Liston, you are hereby sentenced to exile." Feeling satisfied following the great success of the martial arts tournament, Nia finds herself questioning her place in Altoire. As if in response to her self-reflection, a mission from the king leads to her exile, and she is sent to study abroad in the Mech Kingdom of Marvelia to deal with the fallout. Out of the frying pan of aristocratic controversy into the fire of xenophobic hostility-Nia's welcome to this new land is far from warm. But if she wishes to return home, she must spend her next years building a foothold for Prince Hiero and spread magivision throughout the skies. With the nation scrutinizing her from every angle, what better way to show them what's what than to beat them into submission? Mocked and spurned she may be, but this Merciless Maiden won't hesitate to teach a whole country a lesson with her fists!
