To counter this turn of events, various leaders head combat training schools, known as Gardens, that send out elite fighting forces. These fighters, known as SeeDs, defend, serve, and protect humankind from the sorceress. The sole purpose of these academies is to vanquish the sorceress and save humanity, but they do take other assignments for the right price.
A small group of SeeD graduates find themselves wrapped in a much bigger endeavor than simple combat. A gunblade specialist joins together with a diverse group of young heroes, setting aside his fears, facing the emotions he's run from, and becomes the leader that he never wanted to be.
