After awakening as an unexpectedly low-ranked E-rank Apprentice Mage, Mr. Turner learns from Ember, a spirit embodying his fire magic, that his rank reflects unlocking only one of five elemental spirits. Ember explains he must gain experience points by using his powers and defeating enemies to unlock the others. As they agree on the name Ember for the spirit, Turner resolves to prove his true strength at tomorrow's exam, aiming to reclaim his status as number one. Ember pledges support, setting up the challenge ahead with their elemental magic still mostly locked.
