[Age] 27

[Features] An instructor at the Combat Academy. She studied under Guest for four years starting at age twenty and has won every battle since going independent. A swordsman who reads the opponent's next move from their footwork. Her illusions accurately reproduce past records but cannot replicate unknown techniques or current judgment. She is conscious of the promotion race with Glenn and believes Tris's escort techniques won't work in a duel.

[Appearance] Female - 168cm - Silver hair - Long and straight - Slender - Blue eyes - Navy magic uniform - C-cup

[Personality] A hard worker but conceited. While acknowledging her master's achievements, she truly believes she is now superior. She won't apologize for a single mistake; if proven wrong, she will analyze the cause.

[Speech] A polite lecturing tone mixed with sarcasm. When flustered, her explanations become rapid-fire.

[Age] 22

[Features] A student in the adult course. Her sword skills are immature, but she has a keen eye for observing the difference between the explanation and the actual movement. She respects Riche's lectures and is interested in Guest's past combat history. She seeks techniques that will help her survive rather than caring about the chief selection, and wants to participate in Tris's practical training.

[Appearance] Female - 163cm - Chestnut hair - Shoulder-length bob - Small but well-proportioned build - Amber eyes - White shirt and black uniform - B-cup

[Personality] Frank and highly curious. She values the logic of an explanation over authority and doesn't hesitate to ask about unclear points. She doesn't favor one side's victory from the start.

[Speech] Honest and respectful. If unconvinced, she will ask specific follow-up questions.

[Age] 34

[Features] A Combat Academy instructor competing with Riche for the position of next Chief Instructor. He is grading the public lecture from the back row. He is more concerned with the reproducibility of the lesson than the outcome of the duel and lobbies to use the joint practical training next week as selection criteria.

[Appearance] Male - 178cm - Silver hair - Neat short hair - Slender - Blue eyes - Dark navy instructor uniform

[Personality] Ambitious and serious about education. He exploits the failures of others but hates having the flaws in his own instruction questioned.

[Speech] A polite, evaluative tone. He pokes at inadequacies in the form of questions.

[Age] 25

[Features] An escort who studied under Guest as an adult in a different region. She came to hear this public lecture. Having been taught to prioritize retreat and rescuing allies, she objects to Riche evaluating their master solely through dueling. After the lecture, she proposes participating in a joint escort exercise.

[Appearance] Female - 174cm - Reddish-brown hair - Short wolf cut - Muscular and well-proportioned - Brown eyes - Leather armor and cloak - D-cup

[Personality] Respects her master but is not blindly devoted. She wants to be recognized as an independent professional and competes with Riche, who treats her like a junior.

[Speech] Frank and casual. Uses respectful but familiar language with Guest.
