Paulo Hernandez is a Filipino high schooler who got reincarnated into another world after getting killed by a truck. 
 Now, in the new world where swords and magic clashed to each other and the earthly elements are magic, he is known as Robert Lightningheart, the heir to the Lightningheart clan, one of the most prominent elemental clans in the Kingdom of Saverfort. He would soon learn that he had both lightning magic and wind magic and was a son of two soldiers who died during a war. 
 Shortly thereafter, he would meet other people of royalty, including a rogue princess of a neighboring kingdom and a wild princess of a nearby shogunate, as well as discovering the dark past of his headmaster.
 But, will he navigate through this strange, yet intriguing world while figuring out what he wants to be in the future?

Spiritual and Elemental Hearts

As they watch the duel, William commented, "Wow, they actually give out compliments to one another."

But, Emma was upset at this exchange of compliments, caring about her pride more than people's feelings.

"Man, big brother is so weak," she made a negative comment.

"Come on, don't say that," William responded to her comment.

Back at the duel, Peter was swinging his fire sword towards Robert, but Robert dodging his attacks every time. Then, Robert summoned a sword made of lightning using magic and clashed with Peter.

"Wow, is that a sword made of lightning?" Peter asked upon seeing that.

"Yeah, it's a close combat type," Robert responded back, "but I really wanted to learn to use and wield an actual sword."

Peter then pushed through and Robert had no choice but to partially give in, and they clashed again.

"I see," Peter replied back. "Well, you can."

Robert then stopped being serious. "Really?"

Peter then dissipated his fire sword. "You can take sword lessons led by Masanori Kawabata."

"He's an expert swordsman from the Shogunate of Kita, and he's the weapons instructor of this school."

Robert then became enthusiastic. "Man, I want to join that class."

"You may, but," Peter replied, "he wasn't here today. He was back at Kita for his tutoring job on the daughter of the current shogun, Takashi Saberheart."

Surprised by the name of the shogun, Robert asked back, "Saberheart?"

William then stepped in and explained, "They're a clan that specializes in swords, katanas, and other melee weapons."

"Wow, I never heard about them," Robert replied.

"Yeah," Peter responded. "But, let's stop for now so we could rest up for the rest of the day."

"Yes, you're right," Robert replied in agreement. "I'm kinda tired."

But still, Emma disapproves their friendship.

But then, Sol was watching from the second floor.

"He's having fun," he thought to himself.

Later at 5 in the afternoon, Robert, William, Emma, and Peter started to hang out as friends. They went out in town and do various things like eating out and watching plays at the town theater. They're having a lot of fun, with Robert embracing his new life as a student.

At almost 6 in the afternoon, Robert parted ways with William, Emma, and Peter and went home. Not long after, he arrived at his house, greeting, "I'm home."

But, Blaise was upset and angry at him for coming home late, and he was suddenly surprised by it."

"Where have you been?" she demanded an explanation.

"Oh, um," Robert answered back, "I went out with my friends and-" His sentence was cut off when Blaise gave him a deep hug.

"You're such an idiot for being late," Blaise responded back.

"I'm sorry about that, big sis," Robert replied back. "This time, I'll inform you when I will hang out with them."

"It's okay, Robert-kun, as long as you're safe."

Later at the dinner table, Robert told Blaise what had happened at school, including his plan of attending a weapons class and discovery about another nation.

"Oh? The Shogunate of Kita?" Blaise commented.

Robert then positively nodded. "Yes, Masanori-san is the weapons instructor, and, according to Peter-kun, and he's currently in Kita. But I wanted to join that class, and I read that his class will give me extra credits and allow me to go on adventures."

"I see," Blaise responded while listening to him. "Sure, but I'm not sure about your plan to go on adventures. It's kind of dangerous."

"But I want to go somewhere new and exciting."

To that Blaise think for a bit, then she responded, "Okay, if you want. But, I'll be with you."

"Okay, you're right. It's too dangerous out there, right?"
