Plot

In the 20th century, an impact event called Invertia (落星雨(インヴェルティア) Inverutia?) leads to the destruction of the Earth's numerous cities. In response to the declining economy, the Integrated Enterprise Foundation (統合企業財体 Tōgō Kigyō Zaitai?, also "Integrated Empire Foundation") is organized to assume the world's leadership. The parallel city of Rikka (六花?), also known as Asterisk, has six academies which hold tournaments called "Festas" (星武祭(フェスタ) Fesuta?) between humans with superpowers called Genestella (星脈世代ジェネステラ Jenesutera?). Seidoukan Academy (星導館学園 Seidōkan Gakuen?) becomes the 5th highest-ranking academy in Asterisk. Ayato Amagiri, a Genestella, is determined to investigate the disappearance of his sister, Haruka. On his first day as a student, he encounters the Lieseltanian princess Julis-Alexia von Riessfeld and is forced to duel with her. The student council president, Claudia Enfield, voids the duel and transfers Ayato to the academy.

During the duel, an unknown attacker shoots an arrow at Julis, but she is saved by Ayato. Before they can continue, the duel is stopped by Claudia, the student council president. Ayato also meets his childhood friend, Saya, whom he has not seen for five years. While Julis is showing Ayato and Saya around the city the next day as thanks for him saving her during the duel, Saya claims that Ayato is a powerful opponent whose opponents never live to tell the tale, which Julis does not believe. But as time progress she realize that Ayato is really really strong.

She starts to like Ayato and often find herself arguing with Saya and Kirin and even Claudia for his attention. After their duel, Julis and Ayato decides to join together for the Phoenix tournament with Julis acting as the strategist for their team while Ayato the main attacker. Before meeting Ayato, Julis often escapes the castle and flees into the town. One time, she gets into trouble and is rescued by the orphans at church.

She seems to be under her uncle's influence but her friendship with Ayato allows her to break free and bravely tells Kouichiro that she wants to decide things for herself from now on. Kirin entered the Phoenix to clear her father's name and release him. She does not have a personal lux but rather carries a katana (Senbakiri) around as a weapon which often makes her greatly marveled by others as she tops the former No. 1 spot just by using a katana. She and Saya team up for the Phoenix tournament but they lose to Arlequint's Ardi and Rimsi in the semifinal. After Ayato's final match, she also attempts to vie for Ayato's attention by squeezing her chest on his head and declares she would make onigiri (rice balls) for him everyday.
