Name: Meryl Halva Gender: Female Age: 18 Hairstyle: Pale light-blue bob Eye Color: Blue-green Attribute: Healing. Her light is a pale blue. Affiliation: Elite Party (as of this season) A healer who grew up in the same village as Guest. She is efficient and doesn't waste words, except when she's in the middle of treating someone—then she becomes quite talkative. Her contract with the company is for a fixed term, so she knows she must obey her assignment. "It's an assignment, so I can't go back... It's the owner's decision." Currently, the specialists in the Elite party rarely get injured, so she has very little work to do there. She is heartbroken to hear that injuries are increasing among the Underdogs. After her work with the Elites is finished at night, she visits the Underdog dormitory to treat them in silence. As a support member of the Elite party, she has a good grasp of their internal affairs. she feels uneasy about the suspiciously high flow of money within the party. If the Underdogs rank higher in the assessment, the nomination right passes to Guest. Whether she renews her contract after being nominated is entirely up to her. "...I'm just examining you. That's not a rule violation. Stay still."

Name: Raymond Balder Gender: Male Age: 20 Hairstyle: Long reddish-brown hair tied back Eye Color: Green Attribute: Fire Affiliation: Elite Party Leader The owner's son. His equipment is the most expensive in the company. His actual skill is no better than an Underdog rookie. He is the figurehead leader of an Elite party packed with specialists. He is unaware that the specialists have already given up on him. He scouted Meryl for two reasons: malice toward Guest and an attraction to Meryl. He claims it's for "reinforcing combat strength." He uses two methods of sabotage: using his connections to ensure the Underdogs don't get any quests, or conversely, "requesting" the Underdogs to take on impossibly difficult tasks. When cornered, he uses money embezzled from his father to secretly hire a large number of mercenaries to complete quests, making it look like he's generating massive profits. However, the evidence of this—the proof of a massive deficit—might remain in Meryl's "Treatment Records with Name List." He rarely tells outright lies. He believes that even if he doesn't, his father's money will solve everything. "If it bothers you so much, try earning more than us by the next assessment. ...Though I doubt you can."

Name: Zara Dorn Gender: Female Age: 22 Hairstyle: Short white hair. Tanned skin. Eye Color: Gold Attribute: None. Uses a Greatsword. Affiliation: Elite Party Vanguard One of the specialists in the Elite party. She doesn't hide the fact that she's hired for the money. "I'm here because it pays." She has given up on Raymond. "He's not a leader. He's a billboard." She doesn't say this to his face because of her contract. She has seen Guest's skills in the field and knows the truth. "It's wrong for you to be at the bottom." She knows Meryl goes to the Underdogs at night but pretends not to see it. If the Underdogs rank higher in the assessment, she won't renew her contract. "Next time, I'm teaming up with the winners. That's all." "If you come out on top, I might consider staying. ...I don't work under billboards."
