Rank: C
Device: Unnamed
Nickname: Violet Pain

Teacher of Year One - Class 1 and Ikki's previous homeroom teacher. She was one of the few teachers who sympathized with Ikki's plight but due to her weak constitution, she couldn't do anything against the other teachers.

---

• Badass Teacher: She puts up a decent fight against Ikki in Volume 0, to the point of disarming him when he uses Ittou Shura.
• Blood from the Mouth: Yuri spills out quite a mouthful of blood shortly after her introduction as Ikki and Stella's homeroom teacher. They take her to the nurse's office afterward and she tells them this happens regularly. Seems to be mostly Played for Laughs, though students do tend to worry about how much she coughs up.

• Genki Girl: Invokes this trope, despite her constitution.
• Insistent Terminology: If you don't address her as Yuri-chan, she'll ignore you.

• Reasonable Authority Figure: She often treats Ikki fairly from day one.
• Sensei-chan: She tries way too hard to act cute in front of her students.

• Cute Bookworm: While debatable of the "bookworm" part, Kagami is nevertheless a beautiful girl with a curvaceous body.
• Early-Bird Cameo: She appears during Ikki's bout with Stella in the anime's first episode.
• Idiot Hair: She has a couple of hair strands sticking out from the top of her head.
• Intrepid Reporter: She is always seeking out stories and data about up-and-coming Blazers, to the point where she made the novels' stat sheets.
• Self-Duplication: How her Blazer ability works, and it's not just limited to herself, but her Noble Art, "Raise Up", can also multiply the effects of other Noble Arts as well.
• Scary Shiny Glasses: She gets these when she feels like she's uncovered a big story, or uncovered some juicy gossip.
• She Knows Too Much: She's knocked out and tied up by Alice when she discovers the identities of all the Akatsuki members.
• Smart People Wear Glasses: It shows how she manages to create the stat sheets out-of-universe.

Shizuya Kirihara

Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Japanese), Blake Shepard (English)

2nd Year
Rank:C
Device: Oborotsuki
Nickname: Hunter

The Hunter. He was a top-ranked student last year, considered the best among the freshmen at the time.

---

• Achilles' Heel: His "Area Invisibility" only makes him and his arrows invisible to the naked eye, so if his opponents use AoE attacks with an added Splash Damage, he's basically screwed. Also, if his opponents are keen enough, they can sense his position as well.
• Aesop Amnesia: In volume 17, he's shown to not changed his fatalistic outlook after his defeat, and only sees Ikki's victories as the latter being lucky rather than skilled.
• Always Second Best: Due to his over-reliance on his Noble Art, he'll never amount to Ikki, a fact that Stella acknowledges to Shizuya. Both fall under Crippling Overspecialization, but Ikki uses his head to overcome his weaknesses while Shizuya shuts down the moment his invisibility fails him.
• Antagonist Abilities: Invisibility, Stealth Expert, Improbable Aiming Skills, and Long-Range Fighter. The perfect counter to Ikki's melee fighting style.
• Barbaric Bully: He's Ikki's primary tormenter at Hagun Academy. Not only did he have Ikki hospitalized during the latter's first year, but he managed to mock him in their duel towards the end of volume 1.
• Break the Haughty: He was in literal tears just moments before Ikki slashed at him.
• The Bus Came Back: He hasn't made an appearance since the first volume, but has reappeared sixteen volumes later where he's been training for an upcoming rematch against Ikki..
• Can't Catch Up: Volume 17 reveals that he's been undergoing training for an eventual rematch against Ikki as Revenge while also believing that the latter was only "lucky" to defeat him in Volume 1. It seems that Shizuya has not been getting the memo of Ikki's accomplishments this late into the series, never mind that he's a Desperado.
• Cheaters Never Prosper: He was initially a crowd-favorite and everyone knows that he cheats, especially Ikki.
• Chick Magnet: Until the ending of his duel with Ikki.
• Combat Pragmatist: He takes full advantage of his long-range Device and his ability to become transparent to take down his melee-orientated opponents. He's also not above Trash Talk and mind games to emotionally devastate his opponents as well.
• Confusion Fu: Shizuya's Blazer ability to become invisible and having the advantage of range to hit his opponents at unexpected angles makes him a formidable foe.
• Crippling Overspecialization: While "Area Invisibility" and the use of his weapon, Oborotsuki, gives him an advantage against opponents like Ikki, Kirihara can be located if the opponent either uses wide-area attacks or is keen enough to sense his position. As a long-range fighter, he is also helpless against those who specialize in close-range attacks.
• Cruel Mercy: Downplayed in that the teachers probably would have healed him regardless if he was dealt a fatal injury, but Ikki chooses not to injure him at all with his winning blow, instead just barely grazing his nose to make him faint from the horror in front of the school. This ends up humiliating Kirihara more than if he did receive an injury.
• Dirty Coward: Acts brave and "heroic" while he has the absolute advantage and sadistically brutalized Ikki. However, the moment Ikki fights back and has a chance of beating him, he breaks down and begs for mercy.
• Dramatic Irony: He relishes inflicting pain onto others, but can't stand to endure pain himself. All it takes is a tiny one millimeter cut to the nose to make Kirihara faint.
• Early-Bird Cameo: He appears during the first episode of the anime watching the battle between Ikki and Stella.
• Evil Redhead: He has red hair and he isn't the nicest person.
• Fatal Flaw: His overconfidence and utter reliance on his Noble Art causes him to lose his duel with Ikki.
• Faux Affably Evil: Downplayed, since he lacks the self-control to feign kindness for long periods. He claims he's a Friendly Rival to Ikki, but he can't keep up the facade for more than a few sentences before insulting his supposed "friend".
• Green Thumb: The anime gives him the ability to summon a forest, which gives him more vantage points.
• Hate Sink: His constant humiliation and violence towards Ikki are supposed to make Stella and the readers/viewers cheer for the protagonist when he finally wins.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: His Noble Art against Ikki and creating a stir in their duel by having the audience chanting Ikki's nickname ends up causing Stella's inevitable Anguished Declaration of Love. Ikki uses this as his Heroic Second Wind to finally defeat Kirihara and crush his overconfidence.
• Hypocrite: He mocks Ikki for forfeiting against him last year, though he did the same against an opponent in the Sword Art festival. He also calls Ikki a coward for being "afraid" of fighting him but is soon begging for mercy as the latter can counter against all of his arrows.
• Invisibility: His overall Blazer ability; especially his Noble Art, Area Invisibility, grants this not only to Kirihara but also to his arrows as well.
• Jerkass: Not only is he a jerk to Ikki, but he also tries to slander Stella by claiming her match with Ikki was fixed. Stella doesn't like Kirihara personally when she first meets him, and learning about the nature of his Noble Art and weapon of choice increases this dislike.
• Karma Houdini Warranty: After getting away with tormenting and beating the crap out of Ikki in their Selection Match, Kirihara gets his first major comeuppance when Ikki overpowers him at the end of said match.
• Long-Range Fighter: Kirihara's fighting style is mainly composed of being completely invisible to his opponents, and shooting them with magic arrows.
• Meaningful Name:
  • His first name is translated as "Still Arrow", referencing his Oborotsuki.
  • His title is "The Hunter", which fits his fighting style and Blazer ability.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: The Hunter is a very scary name.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: His mockery of Ikki for being "The Worst One" during their duel ends up causing Stella's Shut Up, Hannibal! and Ikki's Heroic Second Wind.
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown:
  • In their first year, he delivers one to Ikki, in front of a room full of teachers when the latter was forbidden from fighting back, for fear of expulsion. The teachers in question gave him detention for putting Ikki in the hospital.
  • He does this again to Ikki in their Selection Match, peppering the latter with his arrows in non-fatal places.
• Oh, Crap!: When Ikki has his Heroic Second Wind and gains the upper hand against him.
• It's Personal: In Volume 17, he intends to fight Ikki again after the events of their Selection Match.
• Psycho for Hire: Downplayed in that he's not an assassin, but he was hired by the Kurogane clan to obstruct Ikki. Given his attitude, it's unlikely that he needed anyone to tell him to torment Ikki anyway.
• Rain of Arrows: His "Million Rain" attack causes one arrow to explode into many. Then Kagami multiplies it up to ten times.
• Red Right Hand: A meta example. While all of the character stat sheets show a complete illustration of those it presents, Kirihara's the only one that presents him as a crude sketch, which makes it obvious that he's not a good person. He does, however, gets a proper illustration in Volume 17.
• Slasher Smile: Gives a disturbing one as he continues to torment Ikki in their battle.
• Smug Snake: He gets extremely cocky around Ikki, having qualified as a Hagun Academy representative for the Seven Star Sword Art Festival the previous year, and claiming Ikki ran away from him during a fight. Ikki later clarifies to Stella that he simply chose not to fight back. Doing so would have given the previous director an excuse to expel him, due to pressure from his family not wanting him to be there at all.
• Starter Villain: He is the first villain Ikki encounters in Volume 1 as well as the series in general.
• Stealth Expert: What makes Kirihara so terrifying is his Blazer ability to become invisible and that he uses a bow to shoot opponents from a distance makes him the strongest student in his first year.
• Token Evil Teammate: He's pretty much this among the Hagun students, especially when the Union comes to invade Japan in Volume 17.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Downplayed. While Kirihara does have a certain degree of skill in archery to fire his arrows, he mostly relies on the flawless camouflage of his Noble Art to beat his opponents. This gets deconstructed in his fight against Ikki, who the latter manages to see through his invisibility, leaving Kirihara practically defenseless as he keeps trying to spam his attacks which Ikki is also able to counter his arrows with ease.
• Villainous Breakdown: He completely breaks down after Ikki gains the advantage during their fight. Since his invisibility isn't working anymore, Kirihara uses his Million Rain attack to launch multiple arrows at once, but it's ineffective. Kirihara then starts wildly darting around to find an escape, all while begging for mercy from Ikki. As a last resort, thinking Ikki is going to kill him, Kirihara starts crying and screams that he will forfeit the fight. Ikki only leaves Kirihara with a small cut on the nose, but this is enough to make Kirihara faint from shock. The result is that Kirihara's reputation takes a massive blow after he's exposed as a Dirty Coward.
• Villains Want Mercy: The moment Ikki saw through him, and by extension his techniques, he wastes no time begging for mercy. He outright screams for Ikki not to harm him, to the disgust of his Girl Posse.
• Wake-Up Call Boss: He sets the pace for foes that have an overwhelming advantage against Ikki's pure melee style, to the point where he fared better than the Sword Eater himself.
• Weapon-Based Characterization: It's very fitting for a Dirty Coward who's afraid of taking pain to use a bow for long-range attacks.
• Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: While he does shoot Ikki, Kirihara purposefully avoids finishing shots to drag out Ikki's suffering, which screws him over once Ikki regains his composure.

• Heiress To The Dojo: Unfortunately, she has to get the dojo back.
