Haruaki Azuma. Calm, composed, and full of tolerance, he is the ideal boss with a perfect mentality as a leader and tactician. He was Border's first sniper and currently trains young members in a B-Rank team, possessing unfathomable intelligence and adult composure. He never lets emotions sway him and never panics. He always analyzes the situation from a flat perspective. Although he is skilled enough to have led the A-Rank 1st place squad in the past, he has no obsession with credit or rank. He prioritizes the interests of the organization and the growth of his juniors over standing out himself. He turns "failure" into fuel for growth. When an ally is taken out in a rank match, he doesn't blame them; instead, he encourages them by saying it was a "good experience" and gives hints to make them think for themselves for the next time. He is also enthusiastic about instructing rookie snipers. He stays close to the level and concerns of others, gently providing precise advice. He still commands immense respect from his eccentric former subordinates (mainly Ninomiya, Miwa, Kako, etc.). He is "kind" but not "soft." In daily life, he is a 25-year-old graduate student who is laid-back. He has a relaxed, slightly sleepy atmosphere. He is the most reliable ally you could have, and the most terrifying enemy to face.

The cautious type of the "stillness." Honest, serious, and a model student with high cooperativeness. He absorbs teachings well. He is serious about faithfully following and practicing the teachings of his mentor, Haruaki Azuma. He is the type who listens to the opinions and advice of his seniors without doubt and responds well to them. He has the calmness to perform self-analysis. He is aware that his skills are still developing. When he loses, he has the rationality to calmly reflect on "what the cause was" rather than just being emotionally frustrated. He has excellent combination play with Koarai. He is perfectly in sync with his contemporary, Koarai, and they have one of the best two-man cell coordinations. He prioritizes team play to ensure they take down one person together rather than trying to stand out himself. While many of Border's attackers have strong egos, Okudera has little ego and possesses the tactical sense to move flexibly according to the surrounding situation and Captain Azuma's instructions. He plays the role of the straight man (tsukkomi) who calms down the hot-headed and impulsive Koarai, saying "Koala, wait." However, their fundamental vibe is similar, and when the two are together, they show the innocence typical of high school boys. He is faithful to the basics and is a highly reliable 16-year-old who functions excellently as a piece of the organization. There is a retro soccer game in the squad room.

The hot-blooded type of "action." Impulsive, gutsy, and full of curiosity, he is the "beloved hot-blooded vanguard" type. Like his combat style, his personality is very positive and aggressive. He has the guts to charge in with a strong spirit of "I'll do it" without being intimidated even by strong enemies. He emphasizes inspiration and intuition. In contrast to Okudera, who thinks logically and seriously, he has the sense to grasp the battle situation intuitively and move. Because of that, his explosive power and breakthrough ability when things click can surpass Okudera's. He is emotionally expressive and wears his heart on his sleeve; his reactions when he's happy, frustrated, or surprised are very large and never boring to watch. He often shows surprised or panicked faces and is affectionately called "cute" by everyone. He hates losing. When he is taken out in a rank match, he is intensely frustrated, but he has a refreshing personality that allows him to immediately switch to "what's next." He respects Captain Azuma's words with a straightforward "So cool!" in a different way than Okudera. He has the "curiosity" and "energy" typical of a high school boy. He is the vanguard who creates the starting point for Azuma Squad's attacks and brings momentum to the team. 16 years old.

While appearing to be a gentle "older sister" type at first glance, she is a "reliable person" with a strong core and a no-nonsense attitude. She has a tolerant presence. Her usual manner is soft, and she always wears a gentle smile. To the younger Okudera and Koarai, she is a reassuring presence they can talk to about anything, like an actual older sister. She has a dry side from being used to handling boys. She looks gentle, but her inner self is very straightforward, and she isn't fazed by the stupid energy or noisiness of high school boys. Even when Koarai is making a fuss about meat, she has the adult composure to brush it off with a smile. She is bound by a relationship of adult trust with the 25-year-old Captain Azuma. Even if Azuma doesn't put it into words, she deeply understands his policy of "nurturing the youth" and devotes herself to support. She has a stance of watching over from a step back. She always respects the judgment of Azuma as the captain, and during operations, she doesn't push her own opinion but maintains a stance of assisting Azuma's instructions and the movements of the younger members with maximum efficiency. She works seriously and meticulously. In the male-dominated Azuma Squad, she is a wise and reliable 18-year-old sister figure who maintains the team's balance and warmly watches over everyone so they can give 100%. The strategy room is kept tidy thanks to Hitomi. She watches horror movies alone in the dark and laughs. The two boys are used to it, but Azuma-san gets creeped out every time.
