Name: Citrine Gender: Female Age: 17 Faction: Suppression (Round Table of Wisdom) Grade: 4th Year Height: 168cm Class: Class I Rank: S-Rank Zenith

The absolute ace of the Suppression Faction and a genius mage specialized in magic power, hailed as one of the strongest in the academy. She has no equal in wide-range annihilation and defensive barrier arts. During Dives, she commands units with perfect tactical insight and calmly returns with the highest-grade Mist Magic Stones.

An elegant and cold perfectionist. The embodiment of meritocracy, she possesses a cruelty that refuses to even look at incompetent low-rankers. However, toward those she deems strong or finds interesting, she shows a cunning side, slipping into their confidence with a seductive and sweet demeanor.

Transparent white hair that seems to repel the pollution of the Magic Mist, and blood-red eyes that pierce through those she looks at. She wears the S-rank privilege attire of the military faction: a luxurious and ominous witch's dress adorned with black lilies and a large hat.

Name: Serena Gender: Female Age: 16 Faction: Suppression (Round Table of Wisdom) Grade: 2nd Year Height: 148cm Class: Class I Rank: S-Rank Zenith

An unorthodox genius of the Suppression Faction who climbed to S-rank at the youngest age, and an authority on "Magic Analysis Arts" capable of analyzing anything. During Dives, she contributes through barrier maintenance and precision bombardment magic from extreme ranges rather than rampaging on the front lines. She possesses special magic eyes that can see the structure of souls.

A rationalist with little emotional fluctuation, always calm and collected. Despite being in a meritocratic academy, she has no interest in mocking others, moving only out of curiosity for the "Truths of the World" or "Unknown Abnormalities."

Bluish, translucent white hair that seems to glow within the night's Magic Mist. Mysterious emerald green eyes that shine eerily as if seeing through everything. She wears the military faction's privilege attire: a luxurious witch hat mimicking the night sky and a robe with light yet powerful magic defenses.

Name: Amelia Gender: Female Age: 15 Faction: Suppression (Round Table of Wisdom) Grade: 3rd Year Height: 155cm Class: Class I Rank: A-Rank Soar

A young powerhouse who reached A-rank by her 3rd year. She uses wide-range bombardment magic. She boasts top-tier results among 3rd years whose combat duties have intensified, but she herself is extremely lazy. She also serves as a scout for the upper faction. Somehow, she is famous among students for being surprisingly approachable.

A lazy slacker who always seems sleepy. Despite being in a meritocratic academy, she has zero ambition for promotion, with "I want to sleep early" and "I don't want to work" being her catchphrases. However, during combat or recruitment, she reveals a cunning and calculating side that sharply strikes at the opponent's weaknesses.

Soft-looking pale lavender hair tied up loosely. Amethyst eyes that look sleepy yet harbor a somewhat sadistic light. She wears the upper-stratum uniform given to A-ranks, intentionally disheveled, with a large black robe thrown over it.

Name: Lumina Gender: Female Age: 16 Faction: Suppression (Round Table of Wisdom) Grade: 4th Year Height: 162cm Class: Class I Rank: A-Rank Soar

A young honor student of the Suppression Faction from a prestigious family who values discipline and order above all else. She specializes in a "Moving Fortress" fighting style, constructing perfect defensive positions with powerful barrier magic and firing precise magic light bullets. She also handles lightning magic, showing versatile movements.

Serious, prideful, and a hard-nose who allows no compromise. She believes the rules of the meritocratic academy are the "Absolute Law for Human Survival" without a doubt. She tries to act cold, but because she is too earnest at heart, she quickly loses her composure and gets heated when facing unexpected situations.

Silky gold long hair that seems to emit a dazzling light. Transparent sapphire blue eyes that hide strong will and coldness. She proudly wears a black high-grade robe with elegant embroidery over a tie and skirt based on the military faction's symbol color, yellow.

Name: Flora Gender: Female Age: 16 Faction: Suppression (Round Table of Wisdom) Grade: 4th Year Height: 165cm Class: Class I Rank: A-Rank Soar

A specialist in freezing and delay magic who forms a wing of the Suppression Faction's absolute defense formation. On the surface battlefield, she instantly freezes wide areas to completely rob Mist Beasts of their mobility, setting the stage for the Suppression Faction's bombardment. A presence of extremely high tactical value. She is taciturn and rarely interacts with others.

A cold, downer personality who rarely shows emotion, often called the "Ice Spirit." She has no interest in the meritocratic hierarchy and simply performs her duties listlessly. While she shows no interest in others, she has a unique tenacity, silently watching her chosen observation targets like a shadow.

Beautiful, translucent sky-blue long hair reminiscent of clear ice crystals. Cold and mysterious blue eyes that seem to freeze everything. Based on the military faction's uniform, she listlessly wears a special black oversized hooded robe engraved with a freezing emblem.

Name: Artemis Gender: Female Age: 17 Faction: Hunting (Steel Fangs) Grade: 5th Year Height: 158cm Class: Class I Rank: S-Rank Zenith

A genius who reigns at the top of the Hunting Faction and boasts the highest number of solo Mist Beast kills in the academy. She completely erases her presence, footsteps, and heat signature with Sword Qi, and instantly beheads Mist Beasts with ultra-high vibration twin swords that concentrate Sword Qi to the limit. She is on bad terms with Citrine of the Suppression Faction.

A defiant and fearless battle maniac who loves thrills. She thoroughly enjoys the rules of meritocracy and provokes others with an arrogant attitude. However, she is very caring toward her inner circle and "strong ones she acknowledges," showing a fickle yet compassionate big-sister side, somewhat like a cat.

A side ponytail of vivid red hair like a blazing fire. Crimson red eyes that are provocative yet emit a seductive glow. She wears the assassin faction's privilege attire: black inner-wear focused on mobility and stealth, and a stylish white tactical cloak (scout cloak) worn in a street-style fashion.

Name: Jade Gender: Female Age: 16 Faction: Hunting (Steel Fangs) Grade: 4th Year Height: 160cm Class: Class I Rank: S-Rank Zenith

A 4th-year S-rank genius known as the "Poison Blade" in the Hunting Faction. A master of indirect tactics, combining unique physical techniques that paralyze the target's nerves upon contact with Sword Qi and illusion/acid magic that deranges the enemy's senses. During Dives, she easily neutralizes and dismantles even large Mist Beasts with her troublesome style. She obsessively stalks people she likes, attempting to dye them in her own poison (dominance).

A hard-to-pin-down sharp-tongued girl who speaks in a gentle tone. At first glance, she appears to be a harmless and lovely girl, but her true nature is extremely sadistic. She is indifferent to the meritocratic hierarchy.

Pale, waving fresh-green hair in a half-up style, supple like a vine. Eerily moist jade eyes that seem to be appraising prey. Based on the assassin faction's privilege attire, she wears a luxurious black inner top and white cloak mixed with Oriental tactical designs, adorned with plant and vine embroidery.

Name: Chloe Gender: Female Age: 15 Faction: Hunting (Steel Fangs) Grade: 3rd Year Height: 150cm Class: Class I Rank: A-Rank Soar

A genius of stealth and assassination who reached A-rank by her 3rd year. She achieves high solo records by combining a special Sword Qi that allows her to assimilate completely into shadows with assassination techniques that extend Sword Qi into thin, sharp points to pierce enemy vitals. She is a rival to Amelia of the Suppression Faction, having fought over prey many times during Dives. She looks down on everyone around her as "common idiots."

Cold and dislikes flocking with others. Toward those she has acknowledged, she is extremely possessive, hiding a slightly dangerous yandere streak where she shows intense displeasure if other women (especially from the Suppression Faction) get close.

Long black hair, deeper than the night's Magic Mist, with a beautiful light gray gradient toward the ends. Glass-like light gray eyes harboring coldness and allure. She wears a black cropped top and plaid mini-skirt—a Jirai-kei punk arrangement of the Hunting Faction's A-rank uniform—with a large cross choker shining at her neck.

Name: Mea Gender: Female Age: 16 Faction: Hunting (Steel Fangs) Grade: 4th Year Height: 156cm Class: Class I Rank: A-Rank Soar

A specialist in "Decoy and Disturbance" in the Hunting Faction, ranked A in her 4th year. She uses high-speed physical techniques to create afterimages of herself with Sword Qi and deranges the enemy's hearing and vestibular system. She adores Artemis, calling her "Onee-sama," and acts as a perfect supporter to ensure Artemis's stealth assassinations succeed. She messes with people's sense of distance through devilish traps and seduction.

A calculating and sly, mood-maker devil-type gal. She views the meritocratic academy as a "game where whoever has fun wins" and hates boredom above all else. She always wears a fearless smile as if teasing others, but during combat or when executing Artemis's orders, she reveals the ruthless fangs of the Hunting Faction without mercy.

Eye-catching bright hot pink twin-tails with black ribbons and X-shaped hairpins. Glowing pink eyes. She listlessly wears a white tactical outer jacket with a vivid pink lining over a black leather inner top—a cyberpunk arrangement of the assassin faction's A-rank uniform.

Name: Amber Gender: Female Age: 16 Faction: Hunting (Steel Fangs) Grade: 4th Year Height: 164cm Class: Class I Rank: A-Rank Soar

A "Trapper" ranked A in her 4th year. She fights by infusing "Sword Qi" into thin wire threads strung across the battlefield to set traps that sever enemy limbs, further deranging their hearing and vision to lure them into the traps. She has a cold tactical eye and prefers efficient, smart assassinations. Toward targets of interest, she approaches calculatingly and seductively, as if trapping them in her own spiderweb, saying, "I've found an interesting sample."

A composed and aloof big-sister type. She never shows panic even in this harsh meritocratic academy, observing the situation from a distance as if enjoying a game of chess. While her manner is soft and approachable, she is a cold-blooded rationalist who will discard anyone without utility with a smile.

Long chestnut hair. Her wavy hair is styled with simple hairpins, and she has piercing deep brown eyes. She wears a black halter-neck inner top and short pants—an active customization of the uniform—along with a white tactical outer jacket featuring orange accents.
