* AccidentalPervert: He often gets into these situations with the girls. A few examples:
** He first meets Julis when she was in the middle of changing when he tried to return her handkerchief.
** He groped Julis' breast when he pushed her down to save her from a surprise attack during their duel.
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Many of the girls in his harem beg him for this. (When he does it to [[{{Tsundere}} Julis]], the reaction is a bit more profound than with the others.)
* AllLovingHero:
* AttackAttackAttack: His general fighting style after releasing his limiter. Justified, because due to its 3-5 minute time limit, he has to win as soon as possible. [[spoiler:Once he manages to release the second seal of his limiter, his time limit gets increased to about an hour, allowing him to fight much more conservatively.]]
* BattleHarem: Every one of his girls is seriously {{Badass}}, but when working together, there is very little they can't do.
* {{BFS}}: Ser-Vestra can take on a form bigger than he is.
* CallingYourAttacks: He often does this for his techniques. It is a habit and a promise he made with his ChildhoodFriend Saya because she reasoned [[RuleOfCool it was cool]].
* CluelessChickMagnet: Rarely notices the romantic subtext of the girls around him.
* CoolSword: Ser-Versta, an Ogre-Lux that was once used by his sister.
* DeathGlare: Doesn't do it often, but he has a rather fierce one.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Mostly towards Julis, although a few others have benefited from it. [[spoiler: Like Kirin against her abusive uncle who [[FantasticRacism hates the starpulse generation.]]]]
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: One of the reasons he came to Rikka
* EmpathicWeapon: Ser-Vestra is a sword with a will of its own.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: His attraction and affection for Julis is obvious.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Ser-Vestra starts as a sword.
* HourOfPower: He can lift the seal of his PowerLimiter for a limited number of time: up to 3 minutes is the safest, 5 minutes he will feel recoil and wont be able to move for a while, 10 minutes is the farthest he can push it.
** He is later able to unlock the second level of his power limiter and now can go over an hour.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Ser-Vestra takes on the form of a katana when unleashing its full abilities. [[ShipperOnDeck This only happens when Ayato and Julis are both holding the hilt together.]]
* MementoMacGuffin: Ser-Vestra used to belong to his sister, and is one of the only few tangible pieces of evidence that she used to attend the academy.
* MultiMeleeMaster: In addition to being proficient with a sword, he is also good with a [[BladeOnAStick spear]], [[KnifeNut kodachi (dagger)]], and grappling.
* MuggingTheMonster [=/=] BullyingADragon: As a pre-teen, he would often be harassed, threatened, and provoked by starpulse people, thinking they could easily beat him, because although they couldn't take out their frustrations on "normal" humans, they could challenge martial artists, and his family ran a sword training dojo. ''He'' would continuously kick ''their'' asses every time they [[BigSisterWorship insulted his sister.]] [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished His dojo, especially his big sister, would always punish him for it, much to his frustration.]]
* NewTransferStudent: Was one at the beginning of the series.
* PowerLimiter: Placed on him by his sister.
* RedBaron: After becoming Siedokan Academy's ranked 1st, he became known as <Murakumo>.
* SecretKeeper: One of his best points is that no matter how pressured he is, he will ''not'' reveal anything told to him in confidence without the express approval of the other person. If he promises to keep a secret, he will, no exceptions.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: To his entire harem. While this is ''technically'' true, it does cause quite a bit of friction every time he says it.
* ShipperOnDeck: Ser-Vestra outright refuses to use her full potential unless Julis and Ayato wield her together.
* TheStrategist: Although Julis is usually the one who makes the battle plans, Ayato's no slouch either when the situation calls for it.
* SupportingHarem: Julis may be clearly in the lead, but Ayato has several other girls vying for him, and their affections are not very subtle.
* UnwantedHarem: To date, whether he knows it or not, he has the affections of [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Julis]], [[ChildhoodFriend Saya]], [[SamaritanRelationShipStarter Kirin]], [[TheTease Claudia]], and maybe [[FoeYay Irene Urzaiz]], and [[RescueRomance Priscilal Urzaiz]], as well as being asked out on a date by [[IdolSinger Sylvia]], in front of everyone else.

* GoneHorriblyRight / GoneHorriblyWrong: Allekant was trying to make a Strega artificially. They succeeded, sort of. While she IS a Strega who was not born that way, the process destroyed the lab where she was being experimented on, and created a dead zone.

* OrphansOrdeal: She was an orphan before being taken by Allekant.

[[folder:Seidokan Academy]]
!Amagiri Ayato
->Voiced by: Atsushi Tamura
The male protagonist.
----
* AccidentalPervert: He often gets into these situations with the girls. A few examples:
** He first meets Julis when she was in the middle of changing when he tried to return her handkerchief.
** He groped Julis' breast when he pushed her down to save her from a surprise attack during their duel.
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Many of the girls in his harem beg him for this. (When he does it to [[{{Tsundere}} Julis]], the reaction is a bit more profound than with the others.)
* AllLovingHero:
* AttackAttackAttack: His general fighting style after releasing his limiter. Justified, because due to its 3-5 minute time limit, he has to win as soon as possible. [[spoiler:Once he manages to release the second seal of his limiter, his time limit gets increased to about an hour, allowing him to fight much more conservatively.]]
* BattleHarem: Every one of his girls is seriously {{Badass}}, but when working together, there is very little they can't do.
* {{BFS}}: Ser-Vestra can take on a form bigger than he is.
* CallingYourAttacks: He often does this for his techniques. It is a habit and a promise he made with his ChildhoodFriend Saya because she reasoned [[RuleOfCool it was cool]].
* CluelessChickMagnet: Rarely notices the romantic subtext of the girls around him.
* CoolSword: Ser-Versta, an Ogre-Lux that was once used by his sister.
* DeathGlare: Doesn't do it often, but he has a rather fierce one.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Mostly towards Julis, although a few others have benefited from it. [[spoiler: Like Kirin against her abusive uncle who [[FantasticRacism hates the starpulse generation.]]]]
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: One of the reasons he came to Rikka
* EmpathicWeapon: Ser-Vestra is a sword with a will of its own.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: His attraction and affection for Julis is obvious.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Ser-Vestra starts as a sword.
* HourOfPower: He can lift the seal of his PowerLimiter for a limited number of time: up to 3 minutes is the safest, 5 minutes he will feel recoil and wont be able to move for a while, 10 minutes is the farthest he can push it.
** He is later able to unlock the second level of his power limiter and now can go over an hour.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Ser-Vestra takes on the form of a katana when unleashing its full abilities. [[ShipperOnDeck This only happens when Ayato and Julis are both holding the hilt together.]]
* MementoMacGuffin: Ser-Vestra used to belong to his sister, and is one of the only few tangible pieces of evidence that she used to attend the academy.
* MultiMeleeMaster: In addition to being proficient with a sword, he is also good with a [[BladeOnAStick spear]], [[KnifeNut kodachi (dagger)]], and grappling.
* MuggingTheMonster [=/=] BullyingADragon: As a pre-teen, he would often be harassed, threatened, and provoked by starpulse people, thinking they could easily beat him, because although they couldn't take out their frustrations on "normal" humans, they could challenge martial artists, and his family ran a sword training dojo. ''He'' would continuously kick ''their'' asses every time they [[BigSisterWorship insulted his sister.]] [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished His dojo, especially his big sister, would always punish him for it, much to his frustration.]]
* NewTransferStudent: Was one at the beginning of the series.
* PowerLimiter: Placed on him by his sister.
* RedBaron: After becoming Siedokan Academy's ranked 1st, he became known as <Murakumo>.
* SecretKeeper: One of his best points is that no matter how pressured he is, he will ''not'' reveal anything told to him in confidence without the express approval of the other person. If he promises to keep a secret, he will, no exceptions.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: To his entire harem. While this is ''technically'' true, it does cause quite a bit of friction every time he says it.
* ShipperOnDeck: Ser-Vestra outright refuses to use her full potential unless Julis and Ayato wield her together.
* TheStrategist: Although Julis is usually the one who makes the battle plans, Ayato's no slouch either when the situation calls for it.
* SupportingHarem: Julis may be clearly in the lead, but Ayato has several other girls vying for him, and their affections are not very subtle.
* UnwantedHarem: To date, whether he knows it or not, he has the affections of [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Julis]], [[ChildhoodFriend Saya]], [[SamaritanRelationShipStarter Kirin]], [[TheTease Claudia]], and maybe [[FoeYay Irene Urzaiz]], and [[RescueRomance Priscilal Urzaiz]], as well as being asked out on a date by [[IdolSinger Sylvia]], in front of everyone else.

* NiceGuy: He appears to be arrogant and looks down on his opponents, but if you prove to be a WorthyOpponent, he drops his arrogance and treats you with respect.

No. The fact that Orphelia's life has been horrifically, and possibly irrevocably damaged?

* JustThinkOfThePotential: This is how she justifies her behavior.
* LackOfEmpathy: Doesn't give any value to human life, not even her own.
