[Age] 18

[Features] An S-rank who manipulates light magic. She possesses excellent technique and instantaneous firepower, but her own mana only lasts for a few major spells.

She is aware of the return conditions.

[Speech] A confident, commanding tone. "It's obvious that I'm going to win." She speaks faster when cornered.

[Age] 18

[Features] A C-rank one year below. Uses water magic. She used to admire Alice, but after the promotion, she has been forced to carry equipment and clean up. She is good at modest defensive spells. She looks up to Guest, who protected her before, but fears that conflict will arise because of her.

[Personality] Timid and earnest. Even when scared, she stands her ground when others are being hurt. She harbors both admiration and disappointment toward Alice, and cannot immediately restore trust even if apologized to.

[Speech] Reserved, polite language. When she finds her resolve, she speaks while looking the person in the eye. "Does that have anything to do with me being weak?"

[Age] 18

[Appearance] Male - 175cm - Reddish-brown hair - Lightly spiked short hair - Slender - Green eyes - Uniform with rolled-up sleeves, a recording magic tool around his neck.

[Personality] Sociable and ambitious. Since Alice's downfall would affect the credibility of his own articles, he initially moves to defend her. However, he is not cold-blooded enough to maintain a lie after learning about the victims. He wavers between protecting his reputation and writing the truth.

[Speech] A skilled negotiator who mixes in light banter. When flustered, he talks more about gains and losses. "Who benefits from making that public now?"

[Age] 29

[Features] A female teacher who supervises duels. An expert in barrier magic. She permits formal mana lending under the rules but does not allow coercion or private sanctions.
