The story centers around Akihisa Yoshii, the "baka" of the title. His academy rigidly divides up the student body into classes based on the results of tests. The prodigies are in the A class with reclining seats complete with air conditioning, but Akihisa is in F class, the lowest rung of the school ladder which is furnished only with low, decrepit tables and worn-out straw tatami mats. A girl named Mizuki Himeji is actually one of the smartest girls in Akihisa's sophomore year, but she had a fever on test day and was pigeonholed into the F class. Besides Mizuki (who Akihisa secretly adores), the F class also has Yuuji Sakamoto, the class president who has been Akihisa's friend and partner-in-crime since the freshman year.
The school happens to have developed experiments to summon fantasy creatures, and Akihisa decides to rally F class to take on the higher-tiered classes and seize their perks. The F class uses the summoned creatures in an all-out battle for school supremacy.

Where it came from
Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts, originally titled Baka to Test to Shōkanjū, was produced by Silver Link and adapted into an anime series released in 2010. It is based on the light novel series written by Kenji Inoue and illustrated by Yui Haga. The story was conceived during a period when the light novel industry in Japan was heavily exploring genre-blending high school comedies, specifically focusing on the intersection of academic competition and fantasy-inspired combat systems.
The series design is notable for its chibi-style summon avatars, which function as literal manifestations of a student's academic performance. The director, Shin Oonuma, sought to maintain the absurdist humor and rapid-fire gag pacing found in the original source material. Upon its release by Funimation in North America, the show was well-regarded for its creative premise and solidified its niche among fans of school-based comedies who appreciated its meta-commentary on the Japanese school system.
