Asterisk War Light Novels Series by Yuu Miyazaki, Okiura, 三屋咲 ゆう

The school-city of Rokka-also known as "Asterisk." Here boys and girls of the Starpulse Generation all compete in the Seibusai-the "star battle festival," fighting for glory on the greatest combat entertainment stage of the world. Ayato Amagiri has just arrived at one of these academies at the express invitation of its student council president, but when he begins his career by making a dangerous enemy, his life on Asterisk is off to a rough start!

Having formed their tag-team partnership, Ayato and Julis begin polishing their skills and their teamwork in preparation for the Festa. But soon Ayato meets another girl--Kirin Toudou. She has long, silver hair and a petite charm--and despite her thirteen years of age, she's one of the strongest fighters of Seidoukan Academy. She seems to like Ayato, but that's not going to stop her from challenging him to a duel...

Ayato and Julis as well as Saya and Kirin blast through the preliminaries to reach the finals. In the midst of fighting and defeating formidable opponents like Arlequint Academy's Ernesta and Camilla and others, Ayato is caught up in saving the young girl Priscilla from a street tough. But he soon finds out that her sister is none other than the famous Irene Urzaiz, their opponents in the next match!

Ayato and Julis have made it to the final rounds of the Phoenix, but now that Ayato's greatest weakness is public knowledge, they'll need some clever strategies to stay on top. Unfortunately, that's when Ayato makes contact with Le Wolfe's Tyrant, Dirk Eberwein, and learns more about his missing sister, Haruka. With newfound doubts and old insecurities clouding his mind and heart, will Ayato be ready for the next match? Or is his winning streak about to come to an end...?

Not everyone in the Phoenix fights fair...At long last, Ayato and Julis have reached the final matches of the Phoenix...but Flora Klemm has been kidnapped! Not only that, but Ayato can't use his greatest weapon-or her captors will do their worst. If he and Julis want to rescue their friend and win the tournament, they'll need their wits, allies, and more than a little good luck!

Things are heating up in Liesentania!At long last, the Phoenix is over, and New Year's Eve approaches. For winter vacations, Julis invites Ayato to visit her home in Lieseltania. As the king throws lavish parades and parties in their honor, Ayato comes to understand Julis's concerns for her country. To make matters worse, the king insists that Ayato and Julis marry each other! After the ruckus at their welcome party, another visitor makes her appearance--the Witch of Solitary Venom... moreThings are heating up in Liesentania!At long last, the Phoenix is over, and New Year's Eve approaches.
