Akihisa Yoshii attends Fumizuki Academy, a distinguished institution that employs unconventional teaching methods including the Placement Exam. This system utilizes student scores to determine class placement, with Class A representing the cream of the crop and Class F indicating the weakest learners. The higher the class rank, the greater the privileges and luxurious amenities awarded to its members. To his dismay, Yoshii is assigned to the lowly Class 2-F and is even designated the class dunce.
The Summoner Test War, a critical school event, takes center stage utilizing advanced technology to allow students to summon and battle creatures against rival classes in pursuit of their assets. In the comedic series entitled Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu!, Yoshii and his 2-F classmates engage in these epic clashes against other classes, determined to claw their way to the top.
