Julius Valentin

Male/18 years old/179cm Primary Affinity: Fire / Secondary Affinity: Light Academy 3rd Year. Innatus: None Aptitudo: 《Precision Control》 《High-Speed Incantation》 《Mana Efficiency》 Impedimentum: 《Excessive Calculation》

The top student of the academy and an A-rank mage who manipulates fire and lightning. A calm and sincere young man who holds firm pride in his abilities but never flaunts them. Despite coming from the prestigious Valentin family, he is indifferent to social standing and treats everyone as an equal regardless of their status or skill. He excels at precise mana control and high-speed incantation, and is the academy's premier honor student who manipulates flashy fire and lightning magic with surprising meticulousness. He is a childhood friend of the second-ranked Clarice and has been a good rival competing with her for many years.

Clarice Albright

Female/18 years old/165cm Primary Affinity: Water / Secondary Affinity: Wind Academy 3rd Year. Innatus: None Aptitudo: 《High Output》 《Instant Construction》 《Mana Sensing》 Impedimentum: 《Poor Fuel Efficiency》

The second-ranked student of the academy and an A-rank mage specializing in ice magic. A hard worker who is strict with herself and others, possessing a spirited and highly competitive nature. She has pride befitting her high skill but loathes cowardly methods or belittling others, honestly acknowledging the strength of superior opponents. She is the daughter of the prestigious Albright family but never brandishes her lineage. She excels at instantly constructing high-output magic, particularly ice magic derived from the water affinity. She is one of the academy's most powerful individuals, even surpassing the top student Julius in instantaneous maximum output. She is a childhood friend of Julius and is his greatest rival, having competed with him for years with the goal of seizing the top spot. Because she understands his strength better than anyone, she is strangely harsh in her evaluation of Julius specifically.

Rowen Halt

Male/19 years old/184cm Primary Affinity: Earth / Secondary Affinity: None Special Magic: Barrier Academy 4th Year. Innatus: None Aptitudo: 《Wide-Area Sensing》 《Formula Maintenance》 Impedimentum: 《Low Output》

A steady B-rank support mage with abundant combat experience. From a commoner family. Though he is blunt and his tone is a bit rough, he has a big-brotherly nature and is very caring, unable to leave a struggling junior alone. While he lacks flashy offensive power, he specializes in terrain manipulation, defense, restraint, and scouting using the earth affinity and barrier magic, creating situations where allies can demonstrate their full power. He has extensive experience in off-campus missions, and his combat judgment is trusted even by A-rank students. He is one year above Julius and Clarice and is respected by both as a senior they can rely on in times of need.

Mia Fern

Female/16 years old/154cm Primary Affinity: Wind / Secondary Affinity: None Academy 1st Year. Innatus: None Aptitudo: None Impedimentum: 《Mana Diffusion》

Failure is nothing! An energetic D-rank mage. Bright, honest, and extremely positive. She is friendly and possesses the grit to not be intimidated by seniors, and above all, she has a very loud voice. She is a hard worker who tries again with a cry of "One more time!" rather than getting depressed after a failure. While her mana capacity itself is not small, the mana she releases scatters due to 《Mana Diffusion》, making her poor at concentrating it on a single point. Her offensive magic is low in both power and accuracy, making her a genuine D-rank at present. However, though she hasn't realized it herself, her diffused mana reaches much further than normal. That flaw holds the potential to turn into a strength no one else can imitate, depending on how it is handled.

Lucian Velgrave

Male/Age unknown/187cm Primary Affinity: Light / Secondary Affinity: Dark Special Magic: Healing, Barrier Director of Valgrim Magic Academy. Innatus: 《Universal Calculation》 Aptitudo: 《Chantless Casting》 《Multi-Casting》 《Mana Sensing》 《Formula Analysis》 《Precision Control》 《High-Speed Calculation》 Impedimentum: 《Light-Dark Conflict》

A mysterious S-rank mage whose origins and the depths of his power are unknown. How long he has been at the academy, where he was born, whether he has a family—no one, not even the veteran teachers, knows his background. He is clearly not the age he appears to be, but he just laughs and evades the question whenever asked. He is usually elusive and hard to pin down, never losing his gentle smile. The boundary between jokes and seriousness is vague, but he takes good care of his students and does not change his treatment based on talent or lineage. He manipulates the opposing forces of Light and Dark and excels in combat, defense, healing, barriers, and formula analysis. His true strength cannot be measured by current magical systems, so he is classified as "S-rank" for convenience.

Valeria Kreuz

Female/32 years old/171cm Primary Affinity: Fire / Secondary Affinity: None Special Magic: Reinforcement Academy Professor, Practical Magic Studies. Innatus: None Aptitudo: 《Physical Reinforcement》 《Mana Circulation》 《Combat Instinct》 Impedimentum: 《Unsuited for Long Battles》

A boisterous A-rank mage who stands on the front lines clad in fire and reinforcement magic. A professor of practical magic studies who has a dependable, big-sisterly personality and interacts casually with students. On the other hand, she is quite a combat enthusiast and becomes visibly delighted when facing a challenging opponent. She specializes in close-quarters combat combining fire affinity magic and reinforcement magic, and is a true practical fighter who dives into the front lines herself while skillfully controlling her physical abilities and mana. In her classes, she emphasizes practice over classroom theory, but she is by no means a mere "guts and glory" advocate. She values judgment, mana management, and coordination with allies to survive on the battlefield, and thoroughly drills into her students that "coming back alive" is more important than "winning."
