About this title

Synopsis

Ikki Kurogane is a Blazer, a person who can materialize his soul as a weapon. Unlike most Blazers, however, his aptitude for magic is virtually nonexistent. Branded a talentless failure and nicknamed "Worst One," he has spent his life honing his swordplay in order to become a Mage-Knight nonetheless. Stella Vermillion is the second imperial princess of the Vermillion Empire and a powerful Rank A Blazer. Having spent her whole life undefeated in battle as a result of her incredible natural talent, she travels to Japan in search of powerful opponents, hoping to grow ever stronger and become an accomplished Mage-Knight herself. The two meet at Hagun Academy, one of seven Mage-Knight schools in Japan, and soon realize that they share the same goal: to become a powerful Mage-Knight renowned for their hard work and skill, regardless of their level of talent. In order to reach that goal, their first step is to meet in the finals of the Seven Stars Battle Festival, a no-holds-barred tournament that gathers the strongest student knights from all seven schools across Japan, and fight for the title of Seven Stars King. Can Ikki and Stella fight toe-to-toe with even the strongest of Blazers and achieve their dream of reaching the peak of knighthood? (Source: Sol Press)

Ikki Kurogane2867 fan favorites
External profile
Ikki Kurogane is an F-rank Apprentice Knight who strives to become a real Mage Knight. He is a young man of average height with dark brown hair and brown eyes. A noble young man with a caring personality. Ikki can be very cruel under certain circumstances. When it comes dealing women of his age and the whole academy in general Ikki is really clumsy because he has no prior experience with them outside of respect towards a superior or as a knight. This really shows when he confronts Stella on that subject.

External profile
Shizuku Kurogane's close friend and roommate. He likes to give Ikki, Shizuku's brother, advice from time to time, and is very interested in how he is developing over the course of the series. His Device is Darkness Hermit, and its Noble Art is Shadow Bind. This Device allows him to create shadow portals that enable travel from one place to another. This can also be used to immobilize opponents by pinning them down through their shadow. Nagi states that he identifies as more of a woman in a man's body, and prefers the name Alice to Nagi, but he states that he doesn't truly care how he's referred in the end. Due to this, his friends tend to lean into referring to him by Alice.
