Added DiffLines:
* GameMaster: The ''Referee'' of each fencing match, a sort of magical automaton that oversees duels in the World of Swords and has a limited form of omniscience regarding the participants of said duels. Much of Book 2's TournamentArc is narrated from its perspective.
*HairTriggerTemper: Carr starts out this way, though he gets better as the series goes on. Some things remain [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]] however...
-->'''Carr:''' ''[within minutes of first meeting Fedal]'' "FUCK YOU FENCE ME!"
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: While the series is about more realistic fencing skills a lot of the time, the superpowers granted by [Stats] get their chances to shine as well.
**Fedal shows early on that a SwordBeam (implied to be of the RazorWind variety) can be performed with high enough [Stats].
**Valle performs a BladeRun at the climax of his fight against the executioner.

*WeakButSkilled: Carr's entire schtick. He has no [HP] to cushion against blows and no [Swordsmanship] to grant him superhuman strength or speed. All he has going for him are the skills that won him the title of World Champion in fencing back on Earth.
*WilfullyWeak: Several characters turn out to be able to raise and lower their [Swordsmanship] stat to let them recover more quickly, reducing the weaknesses of the stat's inherent weaknesses.

[[caption-width-right:350:Pret! ALLEZ!]]
A world champion fencer is transported to a world where fencing matches have strong influence over many things - social status, wars, income - but it is not the world he dreamed of. In this world, your [Swordsmanship] is a number assigned to you at birth and your fencing skill isn't something you have to work hard for.
His journey to this world wasn't an easy one. Dying once left him without much regard for his own life and he tries to prove a point to distract himself from his real concerns. But every day reminds him of the things he tried to forget.
His best friend, who he killed himself.
