EP 1Yui Kusanagi enters a divine academy to teach gods about human emotions.
Apr 6, 2014High school student Yui Kusanagi discovers a glowing sword in her family shrine, which transports her to a parallel world resembling a school surrounded by gardens. She arrives wearing the sword as a miniature pendant. Zeus, the King of the Gods who created this universe, explains that the weakening bond between deities and humans threatens future disaster. To prevent this catastrophe, Zeus assigns Yui the mission of teaching the 8 gods enrolled in the academy about the human heart. This task aims to restore the connection between the divine and mortal realms through her guidance and understanding of human emotions within the school setting.

Graduation requires filling a chandelier container to show knowledge and having jewelry shackles binding their powers disintegrate spontaneously.

Apollon attempts to maintain the seaside school's fun atmosphere despite the weather. Thor and Loki threaten to leave, arguing that Apollon lacks authority since he is also a student.

She prepares his favorite strawberry rice cakes with help from Apollon and Dionysus, which leads Hades to reveal a chest tattoo symbolizing the grudges of those who died. Despite his rejection, Yui believes his isolation is for others' benefit and vows to make him happy. The next day, she brings the other gods to join Hades during his stargazing session. When rain and misfortune strike, everyone changes into swimsuits and enjoys themselves, helping Hades realize that people still care for him despite his perceived curse.
EP 5Takeru Challenges Yui to a Duel to Avoid Joining a Club
May 4, 2014Thoth commands Yui to recruit the unaffiliated Takeru, who resists due to his hostile nature. When she practices swordplay, he proposes a duel: if she wins, he joins a club. Yui loses, leading Takeru to assume her weakness stems from poor training compared to his morning runs. She begins accompanying him to improve her skills and understand him better. Their bond strengthens until a rainy morning when Takeru leaves early, expecting her to stay behind. Yui falls from a cliff while searching for him, and Takeru saves her in his godly form, breaking his shackle. Zeus suspends Takeru for this act, but Yui argues he showed human emotion.

Loki discovers them, causing Balder to go on a rampage. Loki then explains to Yui that Balder possesses an innate power as a God of Destruction, which activates when his emotions become unstable, leading to violent behavior he does not remember upon waking. While other gods release lanterns into the sky, unaware of the crisis, Loki informs Thor of his intention to kill Balder. This revelation highlights the dangerous instability inherent in Balder's divine nature and the severe consequences of his emotional fluctuations.
EP 9Thoth announces exams while Yui and Apollon confront Cassandra's spirit and past trauma

Yui learns through these visions that Apollon once loved a woman named Cassandra, giving her divine power for foresight before she committed suicide, leaving him in anguish. Hades fears Cassandra's unabsorbed spirit haunts Apollon out of resentment. However, Cassandra instead possesses Yui to communicate with Apollon, helping him release his grief and break his spiritual shackle to graduate. The group eventually forgets the impending exams until Tsukito reminds them they have not studied at all.

Following Yui’s suggestion, the group chooses to perform Cinderella, with the cast competing for the Prince role through a lottery. The production proceeds without major issues until Loki attempts a coup d'état and Anubis Ma'at, the Egyptian God of the Dead, crashes onto the stage after consuming some of Dionysus' homemade juice. Despite these chaotic interruptions and the resulting havoc, the student audience appears to have thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

Jun 15, 2014Following a performance, Balder suddenly faints and is taken to the infirmary. While Apollon and Yui visit him, they overhear Loki informing Thor of his intention to kill Balder, which shocks the pair. Loki justifies this by explaining that light inevitably brings darkness, revealing that Balder possesses an innate destructive power as the God of Destruction.
