Only a pure maiden can have the privilege to contract with a spirit. Priestesses, who can summon spirits from Astral Zero, the world of spirits, and have full command of their power, are called elementalists. Kamito Kazehaya is the only male with this privilege, and due to what happened in the past he comes to Areisha Spirit Academy where priestesses are trained to become elementalists. He is then told that he is to transfer to the school, form a team with priestesses to compete in Blade Dance where the most powerful elementalist is chosen, and win.

Overview: This takes place four years before the main events. Kamito is assigned a mission from the Instructional School: steal two militarized Demon King / powerful spirits from the imperial capital during the Great Festival of the Spirits. At the festival, there is a grand procession with a portable shrine carrying the Princess Maiden of Flame. The shrine is guarded at its four corners by militarized spirits, two of which are what Kamito has to target.

Est Nursing (Episode 2)
Air date: 2014-10-08
Runtime: 3 min
Overview: After the battle with Jio, Kamito falls ill due to exhaustion / overexertion. Est, left behind (because she couldn’t go with him / didn’t fight that time), takes care of him. She goes out to collect ingredients for a remedy (involving a family folk remedy from Laurenfrost) including scallions. (Some parts are trimmed/skipped in the adaptation)
Princess secret of Part-time Job (Episode 3)
Air date: 2014-10-08
Runtime: 3 min
Overview: Kamito, Est, Claire, and Fianna take a part‑time job at a maid café. It’s a lighter, comedic extra, emphasizing slice‑of‑life interactions rather than major plot events.
The Busty Spirit of Legend (Episode 4)
Air date: 2014-10-08
Runtime: 3 min
Overview: Claire and Rinslet go searching for a legendary “bust spirit” in a lake. (“Kyonyū” literally “large bust / large chest,” so it's kind of a fan‑servicy or comedic premise.) They try to find this spirit and interact with it.
Horror of Darkness Hot Pot Battle (Episode 5)
Air date: 2014-10-08
Runtime: 3 min
Overview: Team Scarlet (Kamito + his contracted spirit + his companions) try a spirit summoning via a hot pot (“yaminabe” = literally “dark hot pot” / a kind of potlocked mixture) setup. Probably goes wrong / comedic battle ensues.
Elementarists on hollidays (Episode 6)
Air date: 2014-10-08
Runtime: 3 min
Overview: Kamito gets a rest / downtime in a hot spring. As usually happens with these kinds of OVAs, relaxation doesn’t last: the rest of the team walks in and things get awkward / comedic (fan service, misunderstandings, etc.).
