What is The Dawn of the Witch About?

Set in a fantasy world where the war between the church and the witches has ended after 500 years, the anime follows the protagonist, Cervil (Saybil), a magic student enrolled in the Academy of Magic.

Cervil has no recollection of his previous memories prior to his enrollment at the Kingdom of Wenias College of Magic. Due to his lower-than-average performance in school, the headmaster, Albus, orders him to participate in a special mission to the southern continents, where anti-magic insurgents still roam around.

Unfortunately, Cervil has no other option but to take the special course in order to graduate from the academy. Together with his genius classmate, Hort (Holt), the sole beast Kudd (Kudo), and the Dawn Witch, Loux Krystas (Roux Crystasse), they headed towards their frenzied journey to the south.

Little do they know, Loux Krystas, Cervil’s acting teacher, is on a search for the primitive and forbidden magic power from the Grimoire of Zero.
