### Summary
Despite a lackluster performance in the entrance exam, Kafka Hibino is officially accepted into the Defense Force—just not by his childhood friend, Captain Mina Ashiro. Instead, he's unexpectedly drafted by the laid-back but unnervingly perceptive Vice-Captain Soushirou Hoshina. While Hoshina publicly claims Kafka is a "personality hire," his true motives are far more calculated. Having noticed strange inconsistencies surrounding Kafka, the sharp-witted, blade-wielding Vice-Captain has taken a special interest in his new recruit, placing Kafka directly under the scrutiny of the one man who seems smart enough to unravel his monstrous secret.
