The Irregular School explores the foundations of the current controversies and argues that continuing to think in terms of the regular school or the special school obstructs progress towards inclusive education.
The rookie competition is one of the most highly anticipated spectacles of the Nine School Competition and a chance for freshman athletes to shine. First High's beloved Miyuki Shiba takes center stage during these matches to give a beautifully elegant performance. Her brother, Tatsuya, doesn't have a moment to waste as he works around the clock as part of the engineering team, relaxing only when he gets a chance to admire his sister from behind the scenes. But after his teammates fall prey to a horrific accident, Tatsuya is suddenly thrust into the spotlight and set on a direct collision course with the Crimson Price, Masaki Ichijou!
December, 2095. In exchange for Shizuku going to study in the USNA, Lina has been attending Magic High School in Japan. Tatsuya figured out her true identity as a member of USNA special forces right away but as soon as one mystery is solved, another breaks out. Right around the same time as Lina's arrival in Japan, there has been a series of attacks on magicians by something called the "vampire." But while Tatsuya and Mikhiko try to use old magic to discover the identity of this criminal, an assault on their school occurs!
Two months have passed since the nefarious events surrounding the latest Nine School Competition, and its cerebral counterpart, the Thesis Competition, is fast approaching. Helping out First High with the event, Tatsuya will surely have his work cut out for him even if everything goes according to plan. Of course, nothing ever does, which might explain the letter from Maya Yotsuba containing a curious request: to assist in the capture of Gongjin Zhou, one of the masterminds behind the recent Parasidoll incident. Tatsuya and Miyuki depart for Kyoto, where they'll have to keep their wits about them to safely navigate the hidden schemes and shadowy conflicts that lurk just beneath the surface of the ancient capital!
The nationwide All-High Magic Thesis Competition is lauded as a more cerebral and refined contest than the action-packed Nine School Competition. After seeing more than enough gunfights and magical duels in between classes, this change of pace suits Tatsuya just fine. Unfortunately, not every spectator is content with simply enjoying the event. With rival students, intelligence operatives, and a foreign assassin all in attendance, Tatsuya might need more than just his wits to keep everyone safe!
April 2096 has arrived. Despite the commotion they were involved in, Tatsuya and Miyuki safely passed all of their classes and are now returning as juniors for another semester. In light of Tatsuya's accomplishments, a magic engineering curriculum has been established, granting him a new lease on proper student life. With his new classes and his position as acting student council vice president, Tatsuya is certain that this year for sure, he'll be able to enjoy a peaceful time at school with his sister...until three freshmen form the elite Numbered families start raising hell in their First High debut!
Gu Jie, a magician who orchestrated a sinister suicide bombing by manipulating corpses to do his bidding, has gone into hiding somewhere in Japan. As public outcry against magicians builds and humanist forces gain momentum, the Ten Master Clans task Tatsuya, Katsuto, Mayumi, and Masaki with determining the whereabouts of the mastermind behind the bombings. But when Major Benjamin Canopus, the second-in-command of the most powerful magic unit in the United States, starts gunning for Gu Jie as well, Tatsuya becomes inexplicably enraged!
USNA Major Angie Sirius's arrival in Japan as Lina the American exchange student was suspiciously coincident with the vampire attacks occurring in the vicinity of Magic High School. With the parasites behind the uproar finally neutralized, things have mostly settled down. However, since they merely vacated the bodies they were inhabiting, it's only a matter of time before the parasites find new hosts. As soon as Tatsuya learns the vampiric creatures are still on the loose, he rejoins his friends on the hunt to eliminate the monsters once and for all-even if Major Sirius hounds him in the process!
Miyuki's classmate Shizuku Kitayama is on her way to study abroad. For magicians, this is normally impossible, since allowing the genes of someone who can use magic outside their home country's borders is tantamount to giving up national secrets. But it's allowed to happen in one case-exchange programs. And that's how Angelina has arrived in Japan from the USNA to study at First High. But it seems she's a part of something much bigger than a simple cultural exchange!
The invitation has arrived. It is time for the New Year’s Reception at the Yotsuba family residence. This year, Miyuki and other candidates will gather there to decide who will be the next leader of their powerful clan. If chosen as the successor, she would never have to see her brother live as a pariah ever again. At the same time, such a position surely entails a political marriage, plunging her mind into complete turmoil. Complicating matters, the current head of their family sows doubt with the shocking claim that Miyuki is not Tatsuya’s sister. When the new year comes, their relationship may be changed forever...
