Using the strange element called Dust, mankind has once defeated the monster threat that terrorized the world of Remnant, a world that now stands on the edge of war with Grimm, the very same monsters that are becoming a threat once again.
The future heroes attend one of the academies across the world where the goal is to become a Hunter or a Huntress and end up in a well-trained four-person monster slayer team where their weapons and abilities are fueled by the Dust element.
With many threats coming from the Grimm monsters, as well as inside and outside of the academy life, the Hunters and Huntresses certainly have their hands full, and their actions make them known, with names like Dandee, Flore, and Berry.
