Suletta Mercury is in transit to the Asticassia School of Technology when she notices a stranded astronaut and takes off in her Gundam Aerial to rescue them. However, the astronaut headbutts her in the cockpit, claiming she was trying to escape. Suletta finally arrives at the school to discover the girl she rescued was Miorine Rembran. She later discovers Miorine's reason for escaping, that the right to her hand in marriage was given to a popular yet ill-tempered duelist named Guel Jeturk. Miorine's father, Delling Rembran, is the head of the Benerit Group that created the school and holds influence over the most powerful companies throughout space. Furthermore, he designed the school policies so that anything can be settled via mobile suit duels, from simple apologies to his own daughter's hand in marriage. When Guel shows up to destroy Miorine's greenhouse and force her to live with him, Suletta slaps him and accepts his duel challenge. As Guel prepares to duel Suletta, his father Vim plants a bomb on Delling's shuttle and plans to assassinate him to solidify Guel's status as the heir to Delling's corporate empire. Guel is surprised to discover that Miorine stole the Aerial to challenge him herself, but fights her anyway. Despite Miorine's conviction, she is not used to Aerial's controls, and quickly falls, until Suletta speeds onto the scene on a hoverbike and forcibly takes the cockpit herself, unlocking the core features of Aerial and cutting Guel's Dilanza into several pieces. Vim calls off the assassination plot shortly after hearing news that Guel lost in the duel. Under the school rules, not only does Suletta win Guel's Holder emblem and uniform, but also becomes Miorine's fiance. (Source: Wikipedia)

Following the duel, Suletta is arrested under suspicion of using a Gundam. Ceres House head Elan Ceres grows interested in Suletta and visits her in confinement, though he is adamant about it being nothing romantic. Taking charge of the investigation, Delling launches an inquiry into Aerial's manufacturer, the Shin Sei Development Corporation. Meanwhile, feeling conflicted over Suletta's arrest, Miorine is informed that her father has decided to transfer her out of Asticassia. Furious, she runs into the smugglers she previously hired to help her escape and has them take her to her father. At the hearing, Shin Sei's CEO, Suletta's mother Prospera Mercury, defends the company, stating that Aerial was built with drone technology and is not a Gundam. However, Delling remains unconvinced just as Miorine intrudes. Angry at her father controlling her life, she challenges him to a duel: if her side wins Suletta's charges will be dropped; if Delling wins Miorine will follow his wishes. Vim, having been blackmailed by Prospera with proof of his previous assassination plot, then causes a split amongst the Benerit Group, forcing Delling to agree. Afterward, Miorine informs Suletta that she will have to win the duel lest she will be expelled. (Source: Wikipedia)

Suletta is reinstated as a student for the upcoming duel, which will be a rematch against Guel. To ensure his victory, Vim gives Guel a new mobile suit with an auto-pilot, the Darilbalde, ignoring his son's desire to win on his own. Meanwhile, Grassley Defense Systems CEO Sarius Zenelli grows suspicious of Prospera and orders his son, Shaddiq, to investigate Suletta. As the duel commences, the arena's fire suppression systems suddenly activate, neutralizing the Aerial's beam weaponry. Realizing that Vim hacked the fire suppression system, Miorine hijacks a mobile frame and disables the system. With her weapons operational again, Suletta turns the tide. However, not wanting an AI to fight for him, Guel takes back control and fights back with all of his strength, with Suletta narrowly prevailing over him. Afterward, Suletta shows respect for Guel's piloting skill, causing him to become infatuated with her and confess on the spot; much to her shock. (Source: Wikipedia)

Everybody is shocked by Guel's proposal, including Suletta who rejects him. On the next day, however, Guel denies holding any attraction to Suletta. Later, a mobile suit exam is held but Suletta instantly fails due to her lacking a support crew. Another student, Chuatury "ChuChu" Panlunch also attempts it but fails as well due to her mobile suit's camera having been sprayed over by bullies, blinding her. It is revealed ChuChu resents Spacians due to the discrimination Earthians like her suffer. As a result, when Suletta asks the students of Earth House to assist her, ChuChu chases her off. Miorine agrees to assist her, prompting Suletta to confide in her about her dream of founding her own school on Mercury. The next day, Suletta and ChuChu take the makeup test. However, the same bullies have now blinded Suletta's mobile suit, and the proctors refuse to let Miorine remove the paint. After numerous failed retries, Suletta breaks down from the pressure, causing ChuChu to assault the two bullies on her behalf and resulting in a fight that forces the makeup test to be rescheduled. Afterward, with ChuChu's begrudging acceptance, Suletta is welcomed into the Earth House. (Source: Wikipedia)

Suletta and Earth House witness Elan win a duel against three opponents. During a meeting between the Peil Technologies leaders, it is revealed that Elan is actually a genetically modified human designed to pilot Gundams. Elan is ordered by his superiors to investigate Suletta, and he accepts since he believes she is an artificial human like him. Elan then invites Suletta to spend time with him on their day off, which many students interpret as a date. Elan asks Suletta about Aerial, and she explains that she considers Aerial part of her family. He then convinces Suletta to let him pilot Aerial and he tests its control systems and realizes it is in fact a Gundam, but also realizes it doesn't create data storms like other Gundams, meaning Suletta is not enhanced like he is. Elan loses interest in her and coldly rejects any friendship, breaking Suletta's heart. Guel witnesses this and challenges Elan to a duel, to which he readily agrees. Guel fields his Dilanza against Elan's new Pharact, but Elan reveals the Pharact is a Gundam and easily defeats Guel. Elan then challenges Suletta for possession of Aerial. (Source: Wikipedia)

Prospera meets the Peil Technologies scientist responsible for Elan, Belmeria Winston, who was also a Vanadis member. Belmeria admits that she was forced to work for Peil and asks why Prospera is still seeking revenge for what happened 21 years ago, while Prospera counters by asking how many test subjects preceded Elan. Meanwhile, Guel is disowned by his father and kicked out of the Jeturk house for his loss against Elan. The Earth House helps build a maneuvering thruster pack for the Aerial to aid Suletta in the upcoming duel. During a checkup, it's revealed that the current Elan Ceres is actually a body double for the real Elan, surgically altered to look like him, and that the current Elan's body can only survive the strain of one more battle. Wanting to connect with Elan, Suletta sings a birthday song for him over the Peil House PA. On the day of the duel, Suletta states that if she wins, Elan must tell her more about himself. The duel then commences, with both pilots being forced to push their mobile suits to their limits. Elan seemingly ensures his victory when he destroys Aerial's thruster pack, but the Aerial's GUND-BITs release an energy pulse that disables the Pharact, causing Elan to see the GUND-BITs as ghostly images of children. Suletta comes out the victor, and Elan opens up by admitting he just remembered someone who once celebrated his birthday, with Suletta ensuring him that she and many others will do so as well. The next day, Suletta waits to meet up with Elan, but unbeknownst to her, Peil Technologies is preparing to dispose of Elan due to his failure, planning on replacing him with another surgically-altered double.

Still worried about Elan, Suletta is invited to the "Incubation Party", an annual meeting for startups held by the Benerit Group and she decides to attend in order to meet him again. During the party, Suletta meets the original Elan, passing as the Elan she knew, who deceives her into believing that he is fine. The CEOs of Peil Technologies take both Elan and Suletta to the stage, where they confirm that Pharact is a Gundam, who reacted to Aerial during their fight, proving that it is a Gundam too, and while admitting that they also built a Gundam against the law, demands that Aerial must be scrapped. To protect Aerial, Miorine announces that she will start a new company called Gund-Arm Inc. to research safe applications for the Gund-Arm technology. She fails to get any investment at first but manages to fund the company after earning her father's approval. Afterwards, Prospera reveals to Suletta the truth about Aerial, that it is actually a Gundam. (Source: Wikipedia)

Miorine recruits the members of Earth House for the new company and makes it their base of operations. To learn more about the GUND format technology, she consults with both Prospera and Belmeria for information but both she and the rest of her companions are at doubt about working in a company that sells weapons. Meanwhile, Shaddiq makes repeated offers to buy out Gund-Arm since he believes Gundams are the future of the Benerit Group, but Miorine refuses. However, upon learning more about Cardo Nabo and her intentions, Miorine decides that the focus of her company will be improving the GUND format for medical applications which was its original purpose. Having convinced the others about her vision, Miorine prepares to launch her company, until she learns that Shaddiq had the school regulations altered to prevent that, intending to seize Aerial and all technology related to it for himself.

Shaddiq attempts to convince Miorine to sign Gund-Arm over to him under the guise of saving the company. However, she deduces that he changed the rules himself to force the situation and challenges him to a team match between Earth House and Grassley House; if Miorine wins, the change to the school regulations will be reverted while Shaddiq will gain control of Gund-Arm if he wins. Suletta also tries asking Guel for help, but he reveals that he has been forbidden from dueling, and he is later withdrawn from school by his father. As the duel begins, most of Earth House is quickly defeated while Grassley House attempts to shut down the Aerial, only for the machine to reveal that it is immune to anti-Gundam weaponry. While Suletta singlehandedly takes out the rest of Grassley House, Shaddiq is able to catch her by surprise and corner her only to then be sniped by ChuChu, ending the duel in Earth House's victory. Afterward, Shaddiq asks Miorine if things would have been different if he had made more effort to win her affection, to which she just bitterly remarks that his regret is "too little, too late".

Two months after forming Gund-Arm, Miorine has been promoting the company while Suletta and Earth House developed a set of prosthetic legs. Miorine also purchases a ship and hires her smuggler acquaintances as a crew, who admit that they are actually Space Assembly League agents sent to observe Gund-Arm. However, all of this causes Miorine to grow distanced from Suletta, causing the latter to question if they were ever truly friends. At the same time, Peil Technologies introduces a new body double of Elan to seduce Suletta into giving out the Aerial's secrets, though she senses something is amiss and rejects his advances. Elsewhere, tired of Delling's tyrannical leadership, Vim and Sarius plan to assassinate him during an upcoming meeting with Prospera at Plant Quetta. Shaddiq volunteers to do the deed and uses Nika's connections to hire the Earth-based mercenary group Dawn of Fold. Meanwhile, Guel ran away from home and joined a space transport crew. However, the ship is hijacked by Dawn of Fold en route to Plant Quetta while Shaddiq reveals to his comrades that he plans to use the situation to break up the Benerit Group entirely.

Earth House arrives at Plant Quetta to pick up Aerial, though Suletta becomes increasingly insecure as she starts to believe that not only Miorine, but all of her friends in Earth House intend to discard her. Meanwhile, Prospera meets with Delling and reveals her true identity as Elnora Samaya, admitting she came to Plant Quetta to observe Delling's secret "Quiet Zero" project. In space, the Dawn of Fold use their hijacked ship to smuggle their mobile suits into Plant Quetta, with Guel being outraged that they have somehow obtained Jeturk mobile suits. Nika warns Miorine that she should pay more attention to Suletta's feelings, and Miorine overhears Suletta confiding her insecurities to Elnora. Miorine angrily confronts Suletta and tells her to be more honest about her feelings, admitting that meeting Suletta has greatly improved her life. Suletta and Miorine reconcile just as the Dawn of Fold attack Plant Quetta. Led by the young pilots Sophie and Norea, the Dawn of Fold forces forcibly separate part of Plant Quetta from the main station, isolating Delling as well as Suletta and Miorine.

Dawn of Fold continues their attack on Plant Quetta, swiftly eliminating the local garrison and landing troops inside the station to search for Delling. Nika is barely able to signal her comrades not to attack the Earth House ship, but House member Martin witnesses her act. Meanwhile, Miorine meets up with her father but he gets badly wounded whilst protecting her, prompting her to hastily administer first aid. Elsewhere, Guel escapes his captors and steals a Dawn of Fold mobile suit, only to be attacked by Vim piloting his personal Dilanza. Guel is forced to defend himself and kills Vim, discovering his identity too late. Back with Suletta, she is able to make her way to Aerial's hangar where she meets up with Elnora, who tells her that, to protect Miorine, she must be willing to kill. Mobilizing the newly upgraded Aerial, she easily overwhelms Sophie and Norea just as reinforcements arrive, forcing Dawn of Fold to retreat. Suletta then tracks down Miorine and uses Aerial to crush a stray Dawn of Fold soldier threatening her, leaving Miorine in shock at how Suletta could so casually kill a person. (Source: Wikipedia)
