Sophia Reeler takes part in a ceremony with other students from the Dierentown Academy for Nobles to receive blessings from the Animal Gods. Being shy Sophia panics at the thought of some of the blessings which would draw the kind of attention she prefers to avoid. To her surprise Sophia is blessed with the combat strength of ten men by the Gorilla God, who almost never blesses anybody. Being the daughter of a minor Count Sophia keeps her blessing secret from her higher ranked bullies, especially the popular Carissa. Unfortunately, due to her potential as a warrior Sophia is immediately invited to sit the exam to become a knight in training, the exact opposite of the peaceful life she desires. She decides to fail the exam on purpose but on her way there she ends up helping an elderly man deliver heavy cargo and becomes lost. She is approached by a handsome young man who directs her to the knights training grounds where he is the examiner Sir Louis, the youngest knight in history. Sophia is nervous but determined to fail. Unfortunately, with her blessing she accidentally excels at every physical task. She also rescues fellow examinee Isaac, who falls during the rope climb due to being afraid of heights. Sophia finds herself oddly attracted to Louis after he bandages her injured hand.

Sophia and the others are told to expect their exam results soon. Isaac hero worships Louis who joined the knights at 15 before even receiving his blessing and is expected to become squad captain. Eddie, another examinee, is bulled for being the son of Lord Pheles mistress instead of his wife. Sophia accidentally throws one of the bullies into a tree, ending the fight. Eddie guesses Sophia was blessed by the Gorilla and that Isaac was blessed by the Dog, giving him increased speed. He admits to feeling jealous since the Gorilla blessing makes Sophia one of the greatest warriors in the world, yet she acts scared all the time. Eddie chooses to keep his blessing private but thanks Sophia for her assistance. Despite trying her hardest to fail Sophia passes the exam and is told she must begin knight training in the evenings. Isaac, Eddie and Louis suddenly transfer to her school. Carissa and the girls are unhappy three handsome men pay attention to Sophia, especially Louis, and the more time they spend with her the worse the girls jealousy becomes. Louis informs her about the induction ceremony where she will meet the squad captain and the other new trainees. Cariss and the girls finally catch up to her and demand answers about Louis.

Sophia deters Carissa by claiming she and Louis' families are minor acquaintances. Sophia attends a welcoming ceremony for junior knights and is embarrassed when Grand Master Ernst Cheval chastises her for having messy hair. Louis takes her to see Boss, a former knight and terrifyingly aggressive hairdresser. Soon, Sophia has a feminine haircut suitable for combat. Sophia is surprised how beautiful she feels. She invites Louis to a café to repay his kindness and is surprised Louis has not entered into an arranged betrothal yet as he has a goal he wishes to achieve first. Louis abruptly asks if she was blessed by the Gorilla. Despite her shame at her unfeminine blessing, Sophia admits it and fears he will dislike her. However, Louis is impressed and offers her any assistance she requires. Meanwhile, Squad Commander Shin Qualle takes an interest in Sophia. Sophia attends rifle training with Musketeer Commander Arcient Adler who quickly notices Eddie's skills with firearms, the Pheles family being famous for producing snipers. He also hints to Sophia he is aware of her blessing. Isaac reminds Sophia there will be a formal dance at school. Sophia is depressed as not only does she not want to attend, she doesn't own a suitable dress. Arcient returns to the other Comanders where there is some disagreement over whose squad Sophia should join.
