Chivalry of a Failed Knight - Season 1 (2015)

During the selection match, Stella, Shizuku, and Alice easily defeat their opponents. Meanwhile, Ikki begins studying Kirihara's Noble Art, which renders him invisible and makes it difficult to even detect him using the other senses. Ikki meets up with Alice and confides in him about him about his match against Kirihara: during the previous school year, when the Kurogane family still had influence over the Academy's superiors, Kirihara had been harassing him with his Device and Ikki refused to fight back, believing it would be used as an excuse to expel him. In the ...

Two weeks after his battle with Kirihara, Ikki has progressed through the following matches with ease, quickly losing his school nickname of "The Worst One" and gaining the new nickname of "Another One" and becaming popular with the other students, volunteering to mentor them in perfecting their strength using what he learned about swordsmanship. However, Stella becomes frustrated when Ikki isn't paying enough attention to her during the time since they became a couple. Ikki later takes her, Shizuku, Alice and his followers to the local swimming pool for more training...

Another student wishes to be Ikki's pupil, but doesn't quite know how to ask. Despite her initial awkwardness, Ayatsuji proves to be a hard worker and talented with a sword.

Ikki's impending opponent might be the most difficult one yet. He'll have to rely on his skill and determination to help a friend rediscover their honor.

In an effort to help Ayase and her father, Ikki challenges Kuraudo Kurashiki, a swordsman from Donro Academy with the nickname "Sword Eater".

The director sends Ikki and Stella to a training camp. Stella was initially excited, believing she was going to spend alone time with Ikki, but it turns out they were sent to help the student council with cleaning up the training field. After cleaning, Stella insists in climbing up the mountains to view the waterfall with Ikki, despite having a fever. Caught in a sudden storm, they take refuge in an abandoned lodge and Stella's soaked clothing leads to an embarrassing situation. Later, they're attacked by a puppet-user Blazer who controls Golems, but the attack is ...

Shizuku's next opponent is none other than the student council president, Toka Todo. In the clash between lightning and water, which blazer will emerge as the victor?

An innocent kiss shared in secret becomes the catalyst for a scandal, and Ikki is taken by the ethics committee on counts of "indecent" behavior with the Crimson Princess.

Ikki's final match, against Toka Todo, is to be televised to the whole world. Stella and Alice win their final matches and spots at the Seven Stars Battle Festival. Even though exhausted and wounded from his prior matches and ill-treatment in prison and haunted by self-doubt, Ikki arrives at the arena in time, cheered on by everyone at Hagun Academy. Toka Todo, as well as everyone else, knows that the fight is fixed but still wants to test Ikki's resolve to fight for the weak. As the match begins, Ikki uses a new technique called Ittou Rasetsu, which grants Ikki even ...
