Synopsis
Second season.
The story centers around a boy named Akihisa Yoshii, also known as
the idiot or "Baka" of the titled anime. He attends Fumizuki Academy, a
school where the staff rigidly divides the students based on the results
of their academic scores. At the start of the school, students are
academically sorted by entrance exam test grades. The higher the grades,
the higher the class, and the better the benefits. In this case, Class A
is filled with the highest-scoring students; therefore, their classroom
was filled with many prestigious items (air conditioners, fancy seats,
laptops, a free snack bar, etc.), while the state of Class F is the
complete opposite of that, representing the "bottom of the barrel"
amenities.
This academy has something special, where all the students manage to
call forth Summoned Beings (Shōkanjū, or "Avatars" in the official
English translation).
These Beings are used for battles between classes with the goal of
capturing (or retaining) the best classroom facilities. Since Class A is
filled with prodigies, they all have strong Summoned Beings, while
Class F has drastically weak ones in comparison. A teacher must
authorize/supervise each battle, and the health and strength of each
summoned being is based on the student's last test score in that
teacher's subject (i.e. Math, History, etc.). The beings lose points
when struck by an opponent, and should the point count reach zero, the
being and student are disqualified. However, if the student can leave
the battle before reaching zero, these points can be replenished by
taking a supplemental exam. The student's being may then return to the
battle.
On the day of the placement test, an intelligent girl named Mizuki
Himeji suffers from a fever and is unable to complete her test, hence
her reining in a score of zero. As a result, she is pigeonholed into
Class F together with Akihisa Yoshii. Akihisa, who dreams of the day
when the academy would no longer be divided by grades, pitches an idea
to his class to rule over the higher-level classes by doing a Summoned
Being War for both Mizuki's sake and to get more and more privileges.
Aside from Mizuki (who happens to be the second-ranked student in the
year), there is also the class representative Yūji Sakamoto, the
bishōnen Hideyoshi Kinoshita, the perverted Tsuchiya Kouta, and the
tomboyish Minami Shimada (who, as Akihisa claims, is his worst enemy).
