Were it not for his capacity to seize control of others' minds and bodies, Yuu Otosaka would be a typical high school student. Although the effect endures for merely five seconds per instance, Yuu's enigmatic power enabled him to cheat his way to the top of his class and gain admission to a prestigious high school, where he persists in his dishonest conduct. His antics are ultimately halted by Nao Tomori—the headstrong student council president of Hoshinoumi Academy—who pierces through his deception. Through coercion, Nao persuades Yuu to transfer to Hoshinoumi and join the student council. Hoshinoumi Academy is covertly an institution established for adolescents endowed with supernatural abilities—with the student council functioning as a mechanism to identify those who misuse their powers. With Yuu reluctantly aiding in council matters, the group embarks on a mission to locate and safeguard new ability users from danger. Yet, as they delve deeper into the investigation of these abilities, their discoveries draw them into far more intricate affairs than they could have ever envisioned.
