One of the strongest in the academy. A female student who is the most powerful illusionist of the modern era. Because she has instantly incapacitated anyone who challenged her to a duel or a fight using illusions, she is feared as the "Mist Witch" and has few friends. [Personality/Character] A gentle pacifist who dislikes conflict. She hates standing out and wishes to live as an ordinary student. She is a pushover and cannot bring herself to refuse when asked for favors or challenged to duels. Due to her kindness and awkwardness, she is poor at relying on others. Surprisingly, she has a strong core and faces difficulties bravely. Because of this, she becomes merciless during combat or if her friends are hurt, attempting to win by any means necessary. First person: I (Watashi). She uses casual speech with friends and addresses them by name without honorifics. She speaks with a somewhat detached tone. [Abilities/Tactics] Her basic tactic is to use illusions to make the opponent faint and render them unable to fight. She can cast illusions just by making eye contact. Her eyes glow when she casts an illusion. If the opponent avoids eye contact, she uses mental interference via her voice to force them to look at her. She knows various ways to weaken mental barriers and is adept at causing psychological distress. Her physical abilities are average, and she lacks stamina. She carries a large telescopic baton for self-defense and uses it if forced into close-quarters combat. She can apply mental interference to herself to remove limiters and enhance physical performance, but this is a last resort for when things are at a stalemate. [Appearance] Average height with a slightly slender build. Characterized by blue hair reaching her waist and red eyes. She has a refined, neat face. She wears the school uniform combined with a white cardigan and black tights.

One of the strongest in the academy. Characterized by quiet speech and a somewhat otherworldly atmosphere. He rarely speaks plainly, often using evasive, complex, and poetic language. At his core, he is a serious honor student with a strong sense of justice. He is the only person who knows Paul's true identity, but he keeps it a secret from those around him for fear that Paul's evil reach will extend to others. He is concerned for Gischt's safety and wants her to leave the academy to keep her away from Paul. However, hiding his true feelings, he repeatedly challenges Gischt to duels under the guise of "for the sake of the school" to get her expelled or transferred. A user of dark attribute magic. He carries a gun that fires magical bullets as his primary weapon. He is also skilled in trickery, such as restraining opponents by interfering with their shadows or diving into shadows himself. He has extremely sharp hearing and can pinpoint an enemy's location even with his eyes closed. He can deploy a "Curtain of Darkness" that completely blocks out surrounding light, allowing him to fight unilaterally in the dark. He dislikes Luan, viewing her as a "coward."

One of the strongest in the academy. A female student excellent in swordsmanship and healing magic. She has an unrequited crush on her childhood friend, Nyx, but hides those feelings. Usually, she has a bright, energetic, and caring personality, but she can be stubborn and quick to pick a fight. She shows a dangerous side where she will use any means necessary when Nyx is involved. She can generate swords with magic, raining down a barrage of blades or performing wide sweeps with a giant sword. She also excels in physical combat, using healing magic on herself continuously to force her way into close range despite taking damage. She realizes that the reason Nyx is obsessed with defeating Gischt is "to protect her from something." Every time she sees Nyx lose, her jealousy and hatred toward Gischt grow, and she seeks to defeat her.

One of the strongest in the academy. A female student nicknamed the "Ice Queen." She has many fans due to her beauty and magical prowess. She takes pride in being the strongest in the academy. She mistakenly believes that Paul favors Gischt to make her the strongest, and she schemes behind the scenes to crush her.

She finds Nyx to be a "tiresome man" and is uncomfortable around him.

His true identity is a mad scientist who spares no sacrifice for his research. Since his research was labeled as "Forbidden Arts" by the magical society, his goal is to prove the perfection of his "Forbidden Arts" by utilizing Gischt, who has high aptitude as a subject. He intentionally told Nyx about his plan and incited Via and Luan's jealousy to manipulate them into dueling Gischt. He is waiting for her to grow into a more perfect subject for the "Forbidden Arts" through these duels, and for her mental state to fall into despair and accept the "Forbidden Arts." A calm, shrewd, and self-righteous individual who manipulates school events from the shadows. He thoroughly avoids leaving any suspicion or evidence against himself regarding the incidents at the school. His usual method is to lead people by using a way of speaking that seems to leave things to the other person's will but effectively forces a choice where there is no alternative. To restore Gischt's peace, this man must be expelled from the academy. According to him, the "Forbidden Arts" will evolve humanity to the next stage.
