"What is this place?"
"Don't worry about it. Now-"
"Bullshit 'don't worry about it'," Veiss scowls. "Why the fuck am I in an empty white space with you and a pinboard of faces?" he demands and pauses for a moment. "And why don't I sense Brother anymore?" Veiss asks, touching at the tips of his ears and his canines. "I still have his features." he says, pulling his ponytail in front of his eyes to see still silver hair.
Yutsuko smiles. "I'm here to make sure having…'Brother' in your head doesn't have any unfortunate effects on your mind." she says and points to a picture of herself. "Who's this?"
"That's you, obviously." Veiss scoffs, crossing his arms. He frowns. "Speaking of you, why aren't I afraid of you right now?"
"This is a special simulation. I've removed any restrictions on your mind and emotions that would've hindered us proceeding with the experiment."
"...But I still hate you."
"Hate isn't the same as quivering in so much fear that you can't even talk, is it? I've also given you knowledge that you didn't originally have…within reason." Yutsuko smiles and taps her picture again. "Go on."
Veiss squirms uncomfortably and looks back at Yutsuko. "That's you…Yutsuko…Usagi?" he thinks, continuing when Yutsuko nods. "You're a psycho bitch from Revenant Beasts that like, destroyed Mary's body or something and shoved her soul and consciousness into Mana. Speaking of, why do I remember something about those two screaming in pain after Nel casted a spell-?"
Yutsuko smiles. "Don't worry about it. Genuinely. If she ruins my experiment I'll kill her." she says simply.
Yutsuko Usagi, known as The Blood Witch (much to Victoria Mormo's annoyance), a high ranking and very powerful member of Revenant Beasts. She specializes in a special type of Blood Magic that she created on her own. Intelligent, cruel, and extremely sadistic (and psychotic). Yutsuko is Mana's former Master and 'owner'...and she's very intent on getting her favorite toy back - and her most successful experiment.
Yutsuko smiles.
Veiss stares at her.
…
…
…
…
…
"I think I preferred the thing in my head telling me to kill myself and my friends everyday to being here." Veiss states.
"Nonsense!" Yutsuko says cheerfully and points to a picture of Veiss. "Who's this?"
Veiss stares at the woman like she's gone insane.
Which she did.
Yutsuko taps Veiss' portrait impatiently. "Come on, we don't have all chapter for this." she says.
"All what-?"
"Veiss."
Veiss groans. "That's me, obviously," he says. Yutsuko motions for him to go on and Veiss grumbles again. "I'm a part of Phoenix Fire. Mana, Mary, Emile, and Akane are my…friends, I guess." he says.
"So it would, like, break your heart or something if I killed them, right?"
"What-?"
"What were you doing the last time the audience saw you?" Yutsuko asks, changing the subject.
Veiss mutters something about Yutsuko being a pain in the ass before answering, "I was…I was taking a shower." he says with a frown. "And…" Veiss' eyes widen. "I'm a kid again!?"
A Phoenix Fire Mages for a number of years, Veiss is one of the many amnesiacs Nadine has collected in her tenure as Guild Master. A snarky, argumentative young man, Veiss seems to only treat Mana and Mary with respect at all times; most likely due to having known them from his time in Revenant Beasts. He's in a constant mental battle with something inside of him: that something now identified as an entity known as Fafnir. It desires complete control of Veiss' body. Veiss wields his beloved sword, Moonsaw, and a grotesque (at times) dark, void-like energy known as Nil Magic.
"Yup! Anyways-"
"Don't 'anyways' me-"
Yutsuko frowns. "Don't interrupt me, Veiss Dregliark." she says lowly.
Veiss shuts his mouth.
Yutsuko puts on a smile again and gestures to the row of portraits below hers and Veiss'. "Let's move onto the other infantilized Phoenix Fire Mages!" she says gleefully. Yutsuko points at a picture both she and Veiss are acutely familiar with - the subject in the picture covered in cuts, bruises, and blood. "Who's this cutie patootie?"
Veiss' hand twitches. "Cutie…patootie?"
"That's what I said."
"You…" Veiss sighs. "That's Mana."
Again, Yutsuko motions for him to continue.
"Ugh…she's your former slave, and she's currently having a mental breakdown in Master Nadine's office because she got reverted to an age where you were in her life." Veiss says dryly.
Yutsuko wags her finger, "Tsk tsk tsk, 'former' implies I let her go. I did not." she says. "Manami will come back to me eventually." Yutsuko says with a smile. "And she'll be severely punished for leaving when she does."
"You're psychotic."
"I like to think I'm a bit of a sociopath as well." Yutsuko says and grabs Veiss by his chin, forcibly tilting his head up to look at her. "My emotions are very real, Veiss Dregliark. I will take Manami back."
A Phoenix Fire Mage for several months now, Manami Thorne unwillingly specializes in Mask Magic. According to Mary, it would be classified as a type of Requip were it not for the souls residing in her masks. She's on a team with Akane, Emile, and Veiss. Mana is slowly regaining bits and pieces of her lost memory. With the help of her friends, Mana managed to remember that she and her family come from Minstrel, a country regarded as the Holy Land of Dance.
"Now," Yutsuko says and shoves Veiss backwards into a chair that appears behind him. "Tell me about ginger over here." she says and points to the picture beside Mana's, the subject in question also covered in cuts, bruises, and blood.
Veiss blinks, his gaze softening. "That's Mary. I haven't…I haven't seen her face in…" he shakes off the nostalgic feeling when he sees the amusement growing on Yutsuko's face. "Last time I heard from her she and Mana were arguing about each other's homicidal tendencies and Mary lying about something." he says and crosses his arms. "Apparently she's been shut off from Mana's mind or something since they weren't, uh, 'merged' at whatever age Mana is right now."
Yutsuko frowns and narrows her eyes at Mary's picture. "Calypso better hope to whatever god or goddess she believes in that those two are still merged…" she mutters.
"You know, I don't understand why Finn let you have Mary for your stupid little experiment." Veiss says. "Do you guys share slaves or something?" he frowns.
Yutsuko hums, a cruel smile on her face. "While Finn may have enjoyed hurting Cooley by hurting Mary, he figured it'd hurt his dear brother more if he could never have just Mary anymore - even better if I was unsuccessful in transferring Mary's soul into Manami and she was lost forever." she says. "And by the way he's treating Manami, I would say everything is going according to his plan."
Not exactly a Phoenix Fire Mage but indirectly one via Mana, it's not exactly certain what kind of Magic she has - if she has any. Cooley and Mana suspect it's a gun based Requip because of an earlier incident. She is the first and only child of Cooley Brown. Mary is close friends with Mana and she trusts Veiss because they were imprisoned by Revenant Beasts together. She often mocks Mana about how much she likes Akane but the comments usually go right over her head.
Yutsuko points at the next picture. "Talk to me about this bundle of sunshine and flowers." she says.
"Akane Kumiko," Veiss scoffs. "I can't wait to see what she was like as a kid…" he mutters. "Emile told Cooley to bring her to Mana to see if us three could talk her down from whatever panic attack she's having because of you." Veiss says.
Yutsuko scoffs back at him, "I didn't even do anything to her."
Veiss doesn't look amused.
"...This time." Yutsuko says and waves him off. "Anyways, this reminds me that I need to go shopping." she says.
Veiss frowns. "Shopping?"
"Clothes shopping!"
"Wh-?"
"You know, Finn was right about her." Yutsuko muses. "I can't wait to meet her…moving on-"
A Phoenix Fire Mage for at least a handful of years, Akane specializes in Chain Magic. She hasn't shown it off so it's unknown how skilled she is but Akane utilizes Fire Magic as well. Akane has finally (begrudgingly) admitted to enjoying Emile's and Mana's friendship. She has yet to confess any positive feelings about Veiss (but she's getting there). Akane's still learning how to be a normal level of nice, so when she tries to say something kind, it sometimes comes off as very passionate and intense.
Veiss frowns. "What the hell does that mean?"
"Let's see," Yutsuko says, ignoring Veiss. "We've been over you, Manami, Mary, Akane…" she pulls another picture out of thin air and slaps it over Akane's. "Emile Solflare! I'll take these next few."
Veiss crosses his arms. "Does that mean I can go?" he asks.
"What makes you think I would ever answer yes to that question?" Yutsuko says, looking at him like he's stupid, and turns to face Emile's picture. She starts petting his hair like a cat, "I'd love to figure out what makes him tick, too…" Yutsuko says. "A boy with unknown yet suspected divine origins who woke up on a mountain with no memory of his past…"
Veiss frowns again. "Stop touching him like that."
"It's just a piece of paper."
"And Mana, Mary, and I were just children."
"Touché." Yutsuko says but doesn't step away from the picture. "He's helpless when it comes to girls, huh?" she wonders. "He couldn't even take care of a babyfied Rina so he swapped her with you and he got his heart broken by a Dark Mage." Yutsuko smirks, amused.
Veiss scowls. "Shut up and let's move on."
A Phoenix Fire Mage for several years, Emile is one of the many amnesiacs Nadine has collected in her tenure as Guild Master. A flirty, uncouth young man who loves girls and loves love. Emile specializes in Elysian Magic, a light based Magic unique to him. Emile is suspected to be the child of a human woman and an exalted (a long forgotten race of beings thought to be extinct) man. He's close friends with a lot of Phoenix Fire Mages, most notably Akane, Danate, and Rina. And of course, Novem. Currently the only grown member of Team No Name.
"Of course, who next but Emile's and Danate's bestie, Rina Dawnstone!" Yutsuko exclaims and rips down Emile's and Akane's picture to reveal Rina's. "Another lucky victim of my-" she stops abruptly, glancing at Veiss.
Veiss narrows his eyes. "A victim of your what?"
"...of my wrath when I finally retrieve Manami." Yutsuko says and quickly continues, "As I was saying, Rina also fell victim to your poor sewage system and she's like, eight again or something…heh."
"What?"
"Nothing." Yutsuko says, tears forming in her eyes from holding back her laughter. "Nothing at all."
"You laughed. What's so funny?" Veiss asks.
…
…
…
"...Pfft." Yutsuko can't hold it in anymore. "I just - I just realized everyone who got turned back into a kid had their trauma taken away…everyone except for Manami!" she says, laughing hysterically.
Veiss doesn't seem to find it as funny as she does.
A Phoenix Fire Mage for a little over one year now, Rina specializes in Lipstick Magic, a Holder Magic. She's close friends with Emile and Danate - the latter of whom she has a crush on. Rina doesn't go out on many missions and generally stays in Zaflior to assist in handling things around the guild and do small, easy requests for the citizens. A native of the kingdom of Fiore, Rina has a lot of knowledge to offer. She hides her feelings for Danate very poorly.
Yutsuko hums and taps her chin. "You know, I think that's everyone of note for this current arc." she says and sighs. "What a shame. Mary got to review more people."
If Veiss' hair wasn't white already, it would've been by now with how many times Yutsuko's confused him. "'Arc'? Mary? What the hell are you talking about, woman?!" he cries.
"Unless The One Who Is The One is forgetting someone, we're done here." Yutsuko says and flashes a peace sign at Veiss. "Bye-bye! I'll see you soon, False God Hero~" she coos and melts into a pool of blood.
Veiss stares wordlessly at the pool of blood across from him.

"Planet Befall-"
Phoenix Fire
Nadine Septim - Phoenix Fire's fourth and current Guild Master. Treats all of the guild members like they're her children…even if they're fifty year old alcoholics. (Episode 38)
Nadine Septim is a stern older woman who, despite the things that she's gone through, still remains kind. As Mana found out when they first met, she uses some kind of Fire Magic. Nadine cares deeply for her guild and has the respect and loyalty of even their most aggressive members, like Veiss and Cooley for example. Nadine lost her husband, Mach, and her son, Oliver, in an attack on the guild in X771.
Theresa Rodgriguez - Nadine's mother and the interim Guild Master in her daughter's absence. She's slightly more of an aggressive leader but still cares just as much as Nadine. Stayed behind in Honeywell to help Ariana transition Honeywell into a new era. (Episode 37)
Theresa is very similar to her daughter in the sense that despite what she's gone through, she still has the capacity to be kind - although she shows it more rarely. Theresa hasn't yet shown off what kind of Magic she can use. Nadine is the wife of the missing second Guild Master, Santiago, and the best friend of the missing third Guild Master, Neptune.
Caia Orstead - One of Phoenix Fire's five S-Class Mages, Caia is a stern and powerful woman. She seems to have little patience for nonsense and will go to extreme lengths to keep her friends in line (evidenced by the drinking contest she agreed to with Nelio). Stayed behind in Honeywell to help Ariana transition Honeywell into a new era. (Episode 37)
While it's unknown how long Caia's been a member of Phoenix Fire, her specialty in Metal-Make Magic and Magnetism is very well known. She's good friends with Myling and appears to value Alistair's and Nelio's strength, despite the latter's antics. Was on a special mission for Nadine prior to meeting Mana.
Cooley Brown - Mary's drunk of a father that she and Mana are trying to fix. One of Phoenix Fire's five active S-Class Mages, Cooley is a boisterous and aggressive old man. He was a hateful, angry, and near useless drunk until Emile and Mana indirectly reunited him with his long lost daughter. (Episode 38)
Irritable and extremely protective of Mary (and consequently, Mana [consequently incessantly getting on Akane's nerves]), Cooley is a user of Guns Magic and a technique he learned while he was growing up, Bull Charge. He originally lost Mary and his wife to an ambush from his evil twin brother, Finn, aided by his new allies in Revenant Beasts. His wife did not survive the attack and Finn took Mary prisoner, not to be seen for several long years.
Danate Lunith - A Phoenix Fire Mage for a number of years, Danate Lunith is one of the guild's five active S-Class Mages and specializes in Darkness Devil Slayer Magic. A good-hearted, kind young man, Danate knows when it's time to goof around and when it's time to get serious. (Episode 38)
He enjoys seeing the people around him grow and get stronger and is grown up in that sense, but at times he also appears to have the same naivety as Mana when it comes to certain topics or social interactions. Surprisingly, he's much better at hiding it but he reciprocates Rina's romantic feelings. For reasons known only to him and Emile, Danate doesn't want to tell her.
Genesis Adrestia - The fourth of Phoenix Fire's five active S-Class Mages. Like the unknown fifth, Genesis is constantly out and about; either on long missions or providing transport to other Mages as a side job. (Episode 29 (Part 2))
An extroverted young man with little regard for boundaries, it's a wonder how Genesis earned the title of S-Class. Granted, he's never been seen in action, but he does have a magic boat…eh.
Myling Alva - Probably the most anxious one of Phoenix Fire's five active S-Class Mages. She seems to be on good terms with her guildmates but don't expect her to speak unless you've known her for more than five minutes. Stayed behind in Honeywell to help Ariana transition Honeywell into a new era. (Episode 37)
A nervous and jittery woman, Myling has yet to show off how she earned the title of S-Class. Not much is known about her yet other than her severe anxiety and her love for creepy crawlies…
Acro Picasso-Atlas- A young boy with a strong sense of justice. One of Cooley's many victims (re: students). Bears a striking resemblance to Mana's older brother, Magnus. (Episode 38)
A relatively new Phoenix Fire Mage, Acro specializes in Clay-Make Magic. He's one of the youngest active Phoenix Fire Mages and as Mana said, he has a heart of gold. Despite that, he is still a child so Acro can be pretty clueless in certain situations. He also hates wearing shoes. Apart from being a Mage, Acro is an aspiring artist…despite his less than stellar skills.
Alistair Bickerstaff- A man who just wants to live his life, Alistair has been unable to do so ever since the formation of Team No Name. He finds himself constantly thinking about their safety and is extremely annoyed when he finds out they've attracted trouble. Stayed behind in Honeywell to help Ariana transition Honeywell into a new era. (Episode 37)
A Phoenix Fire Mage for several years, Alistair specializes in Hydrokinesis. However, unlike most Water Mages, Alistair is unable to control the temperature of his water and it's always boiling hot. When he first met Mana, he asked her about his missing twin brothers, Maddox and Mason. Unable to provide him with any information, Alistair took to once again watching from afar until he and Nelio were asked by the acting Guild Master, Theresa, to keep a closer eye on Mana and Calypso. He's been stuck with the guy ever since.
Ken Sevens- A polite gentleman fiercely loyal to Nadine and Phoenix Fire. A big talker who enjoys teasing his guildmates. (Episode 25)
A Phoenix Fire Mage for an unknown amount of time, Ken is a bit of a unique Mage in the sense that he greatly dislikes using his Swamp Monster Magic. He also appears to have some skill with teleportation.
Madelaine Zehir - An intelligent young woman. Appears to be on good terms with Myling and Marcus. Was previously close with Calypso before she revealed herself to be a snake in disguise. Shares some characteristics with Mana's younger sister, Morgan. (Episode 28)
Not much is known about the reserved and calm Phoenix Fire Mage just yet. Madelaine can almost always be found with a book in her hand. At times, it's difficult to get her to socialize, but as Calypso found out during their city-wide game of hide and seek, there's more to the 'Venom Witch' than meets the eye.
Marcus Bartlett - A kindred spirit to Akane's, Veiss', and Cooley's hot tempers, Marcus can usually be seen picking a fight with one of them. His latest target was Veiss. However, more similarly to Veiss, Marcus is more willing to show the kind side of him than Akane and Cooley are. (Episode 28)
Not much is known about Marcus other than his similarities to Phoenix Fire's other hotheads. He also specializes in Sound Magic and music based Enchantment Magic - of which he used to fix Veiss when Calypso antagonized him into almost giving Fafnir control.
Coraline Graves - A woman you only met last chapter, next to nothing is known about Coraline. She appears to be a cautious lady who dislikes trouble. (Episode 38)
A low-key Phoenix Fire Mage.
Nelio Reonard - A former soldier in Valiance's military and a current member of Phoenix Fire, Nelio seems to have a good head on his shoulders despite his…quirks. More often than not, he's usually seen tinkering and talking with his little robots and lately, with Alistair as well. Similarly to Victoria of Aberrant Hydra, Nelio is older than he looks. Stayed behind in Honeywell to help Ariana transition Honeywell into a new era. (Episode 37)
A good man despite his odd sense of humor and straightforwardness, Nelio hasn't been seen in the thick of the action just yet but he has revealed his Magic, Weakness Magic. It allows him to perform alchemy to create machine-based constructs and he generally uses this to repair and tinker with his robots. Nelio has a past with Luna of Aberrant Hydra, both of them being former soldiers in Valiance's military. He had an accident while in service and had to be nursed to health by a tribe of Machias. A result of that was a majority of his body parts being replaced with Machias parts; consequently he also looks several years younger than he actually is.
Carson Adrestia - Genesis' younger sister. While not a Phoenix Fire Mage herself, she still lends them and anyone else who books passage on the Revivescere her services. She lives on the Revivescere with her brother. (Episode 29 (Part 2))
A hotheaded young girl with a potty mouth that would usually come from someone twice her age, Carson is a Weather Magic user. She's not quite proficient at controlling it yet so she has to stay below deck on the ship so she can concentrate in peace.
Silver Sabelum
Oliver Windsor - The young new Guild Master of Silver Sabelum, Oliver tends to get pretty lonely with all of his guildmates going out on missions. Granted, they're doing so for the guild and the village but still. A guy gets lonely. Oliver isn't very confident in his guild-leading abilities yet but being a long-time Mage of Silver Sabelum and the adopted son of their last Master, he still has the respect of his comrades and they listen to what he has to say. (Episode 15)
A young man who somehow ended up in the arms of his adopted father, Landon, when he was barely one year old twenty-two years ago, Oliver has had a good life. He grew up with people who cared about him, made plenty of friends, and now he's the leader of a fairly strong guild at the young age of twenty-three. Oliver has a good heart and cares deeply for his guild but he can't help but feel like something is missing from his life. Oddly, despite having never met a single Phoenix Fire Mage before, Team No Name can't help but find him incredibly familiar.
Akito Kageyama - Not much of a talker (or an emoter), Akito remains a weird and unsettling guy to those who meet him (Akane). One of Silver Sabelum's S-Class Mages. Wants to hire Genesis and his ship for a trip somewhere… (Episode 27)
Akito Kageyama, a Silver Sabelum Mage specializing in Ice and Darkness Magic. Not much is known about this stoic young man yet however he seems to value the name of his guild, constantly going out on missions like his other guildmates to raise their name and Oliver's reputation as their new Guild Master.
Saul Morfran - A young man with an unfortunate number of scars, it's generally very hard to get along with Saul. However, being near if not above his level, Victoria Mormo managed to earn some degree of respect from Saul when they were contracted to hunt down Xander Break together. Unfortunately, that part of their mission was a failure but he and the other S-Class Mages did manage to capture a number of other Dark Mage grunts. Saul and the others received their reward from the Vice President himself and he was last seen when everyone departed from Wisteria. (Episode 15)
One of Silver Sabelum's S-Class Mages, despite his high intelligence, it's a little curious how Saul managed to get the title considering his…less than cooperative personality. Saul is sleazy, smug, and sarcastic and doesn't even reel it in when the situation calls for words more along the lines of something Lenox or Kyza would say. As seen in his fight against Heaven's Light and Revenant Beasts Mages, Saul is a Requip Magic user - specifically, Requip: The Assassin.
Lenox Arachnia - Oliver's closest companion nowadays. Lenox is a very shy and soft spoken young woman who has a very obvious crush on Oliver (obvious to everyone but Oliver at least). She's very capable but she's made it a point to stay in Wisteria to keep Oliver company while literally every single one of their other guildmates are out on missions. She has the utmost respect and admiration for Oliver and encourages him when he's doubting his leadership capabilities. (Episode 15)
Soft spoken, self conscious, and easily embarrassed, if you don't see her at Oliver's side, Lenox is usually hanging out somewhere alone. She isn't the biggest fan of crowded places and while she does lament the absence of all of her guildmates and friends, Lenox does enjoy the quiet it brings. Lenox hasn't been in the middle of any action yet but one has to wonder if her family name has anything to do with what kind of Magic she has…
Koz Anhalt - A rude, arrogant, and potty mouthed young man. Ironically, he's currently in Fiore on a mission to fulfill a request to look around the country with a fresh set of eyes. (Episode 29 (Part 2))
Koz is a blind yet very capable Silver Sabelum Mage. As his Eye Magic isn't inherently offensive, he's most likely a proficient hand-to-hand combatant. Koz is a very cold young man, not having much respect for anyone but his old friend and new Guild Master, Oliver.
Kyza Miraj - A cheerful, foreign boy. He fulfilled his duty in escorting Koz to Genesis so he departed from Zaflior to meet Lenox in Veneto. (Episode 29 (Part 2))
Kyza, the youngest Silver Sabelum Mage thus far and a user of Celestial Spirit Magic. Despite his rough, almost scary appearance, Kyza is a very friendly and kind young boy.
Aberrant Hydra
Glinda Goldkuhl - The young and pious Guild Master of Aberrant Hydra. Glinda is exactly what you would expect from a devout follower of the peaceful religion of Soasis - although even she has her moments of annoyance and anger sometimes, she's only human. Glinda clearly cares for her guild, having sent out her own members on a city-wide search of their missing member, Cole. She even went as far as sending young and inexperienced Mages from Phoenix Fire out to look for him…maybe she cares a little too much. (Episode 15)
A saintly woman with a heart of gold, being the Guild Master of Aberrant Hydra, Glinda likely has an enormous magical reserve. Being a user of Portal Creation Magic, it's also likely Glinda has been all over Valiance as she can open a portal almost anywhere you ask her to. We've seen what she can do with portals when she's punishing her guildmates, one can only assume what she can do if an enemy were to get a limb caught in one of her portals…
Victoria Mormo - The Crimson Witch of Aberrant Hydra, Victoria can be a bit of a hot headed 'young' woman sometimes. A devout follower of the Goddess Soasis; evidenced by her tendency to wander around in a custom nun's outfit. Enjoys using her young appearance to her advantage and gets angry when you comment on her actual age. Assisted the Phoenix Fire Mages in apprehending the Skarsguard family. (Episode 21 (Part 1))
An Aberrant Hydra Mage for an undefined number of years, Victoria is the guild's strongest Mage (and an S-Class Mage) and on par with their Master, Glinda. She specializes in a unique type of Maker Magic, Blood-Make Magic. It's unique in the sense that she has to cut herself with any of the several razor blades she hides on her person to utilize her own blood as a weapon, manipulating the hardness to her will because of the iron in blood cells. Victoria is a confident and proud woman who's rightfully arrogant in her abilities - although she's often humbled by her guildmates and more often than not, her wife.
Cole Match - Usually a fun-loving, outgoing young man, Cole shuts himself away around the anniversary of his home's brutal destruction. Or, in the cases where the mastermind behind his home's destruction is around, Cole gets a little understandably homicidal, as witnessed by our Phoenix Fire Mages and Dark Mages alike. Alas, when all was said and done, Cole accepted his punishment and recognized he was in the wrong. He didn't tear Xander Break's head off his shoulders like he wanted to but he did gain an ally and mentor in a rather powerful Mage working for Valiance's government… (Episode 15)
One of Aberrant Hydra's stronger Mages, Cole is well on his way to S-Class but as the Grand General of Valiance's military said, he still has work to do. Cole utilizes his own type of Fire Magic, Flame Gauntlet Magic. Its flames have the strange, unfortunate side effect of hurting him when he conjures them, which is why he covers a majority of his body in fire resistant bandages.
Seinaru Fujisaki - Aberrant Hydra's resident emotionally challenged Mage, Seinaru is a man of few words and few emotions. That's not to say he doesn't care about his allies, though. When he encountered Xander taunting Cole, Seinaru was quick to anger and threatened to fight him himself. He was also eager to bring Cole back to Arkcester to ease the worries of his guildmates - although that was said less emotionally. (Episode 14)
A candidate for the title of S-Class within Aberrant Hydra, it's not quite clear what kind of Magic Seinaru uses but one can only assume it has something to do with the swords he carries at his sides. Other than his actions during the search and rescue of Cole and the Phoenix Fire teenagers, not much else is known about Seinaru just yet.
Neil Pace - Neil Pace is what Acro is to Phoenix Fire and what Kyza is to Silver Sabelum - their resident youngest active Mage. As seen when he tried to accompany Eira to Zaflior, Neil is eager to prove himself - either to his guildmates or the parents Eira spoke of. (Episode 15)
Nothing is really known about Neil but Eira claimed he was plenty strong. He's a very excitable young boy and appears to admire the strong members of his guild greatly.
Yuki Whiteclaw - A strange, mysterious, and slightly annoying individual. He doesn't seem to reveal much about himself but knows plenty about others. Implied that he believes Emile isn't wholly human. Assisted the Phoenix Fire Mages in apprehending the Skarsguard family. (Episode 21 (Part 1))
Yuki Whiteclaw, an Aberrant Hydra Mage. Not much is known about this man despite his numerous encounters with Team No Name. As he explained it, his Magic, Trickster Magic, gives him a strange, unique combination of abilities and spells. Yuki possesses knowledge unknown to everyone else and likes to claim every action he takes is in service of the Goddess, Soasis. He's an odd character, a trickster by nature and extremely witty. Yuki enjoys mischief and treats life as a game, constantly earning the ire and annoyance of his guildmates - but he also has a caring side and will defend his allies if needed. He also genuinely enjoys their company.
Luna Luster - As expected due to the guild she joined, Luna is a devout follower of Soasis and prays everyday. She's a strict but nice young woman and if you ask Yuki, she's also a suck up (he still very much seems to enjoy her presence despite his claim). When she encountered Alistair and Nelio, it was revealed that the two have a past together in Valiance's military. (Episode 14)
Despite her many encounters with our Phoenix Fire Mages, it's still unclear what kind of Magic Luna uses. She appears to be a hard worker and has little patience for those who aren't - as seen when she first met Akane, Mana, and Calypso and Yuki almost let their captives get away.
Eira Coslett - Eira had a rather unfortunate first meeting with our Phoenix Fire Mages - them confusing her with Luna, her flicking Emile's forehead after he tried to make a move on her, and Akane threatening her life because of it. Currently, Eira seems to have some business in or around Zaflior and says she'll meet up with Phoenix Fire again when she's finished… (Episode 27)
Eira is a friendly, outgoing girl who loves talking to people. She's fiercely loyal to her guild and gets very worried when her guildmates are gone for long periods of time: evidenced by her panic when Seinaru disappeared and Luna and Yuki revealed that Cole was still missing. Her type of Magic is currently unknown but she seems to be strong enough and trusted enough by Neil's parents to take him out on faraway missions.
Noah Rabittail - He hasn't actually been met yet but he was mentioned by his guildmate, Regine, when she met Team No Name and Myling on the train to Honeywell. Sent with Regine to investigate the Dark Guild Forsaken Roses but their base was empty when they arrived. (Episode 30)
Not much can be said about Noah in the way of personality or appearance, but he was revealed by Regine to specialize in Animal Possession Magic.
Regine Beaufort - A fancy, rich looking woman, Regine seems to be a bit of a blunt person. She warned Mana about the missing Dark Guild Forsaken Roses when she encountered her and her fellow Phoenix Fire Mages on the train to Honeywell. (Episode 30)
An Aberrant Hydra Mage. Was nice enough to warn Phoenix Fire about Forsaken Roses but not much else can be said about her.
Revenant Beasts
Finn Brown - Cooley's twin brother, Mary's uncle, and one of Mana's three walking nightmares. During the battle between the Dark Guilds and the government, fortunately Finn didn't get his hands on Mana or Mary. He was having a great time dueling Victoria until he was swallowed up by the shadow of a nearby tree, similar to the way Xander and Haze disappeared. (Episode 13)
One of the Revenant Beasts Mages reported to be at S-Class level. It's no surprise Finn is at the same level as his twin brother. Like Cooley, Finn is a user of Guns Magic and a technique he learned while he was growing up, Bull Charge.
Devlio - His true name revealed to be Avlio Debilitia, Devlio came to Zaflior to retrieve Calypso and bring her back to Revenant Beasts safely. He only seems to care about Calypso and shutting down any Revenant Beasts slander. (Episode 28)
This mysterious and aloof man seems to be just that. He hasn't shown any emotion other than anger when Emile slandered the name of Revenant Beasts back in Veneto. Unbeknownst to Phoenix Fire Mages, though, he's also capable of showing affection; as seen when he was speaking with Calypso. His true magic specialization was revealed to be Transfer Magic, a Lost Magic capable of doing exactly what its name implies.
Kenji Onizuka - A confident, slightly crazy, self-aware young man. Kenji, like a majority of the Revenant Beasts Dark Mages, appears to know Mana from her time in captivity. He knows things that Mana allegedly told him herself - whether that was willingly or under duress is up for debate. (Episode 26)
Recent reports of Kenji Onizuka say that he's very quickly getting stronger and stronger, almost but not quite an S-Class level threat. He has a variety of techniques at his disposal: Illusion Magic, Darkness Magic, and Shadow Magic. His main goal appears to align with his Guild Master's: the recapture of Mana and Mary.
Hibiki Ito - A Dark Mage, albeit a very strange one in regards to being a Dark Mage. She seems to be a bit of a pacifist compared to her psychotic and violent allies. (Episode 26)
Not much is known about Hibiki other than the words Kenji used to describe her: 'lover of sleep and all things boring and not fun'. Although, considering what kind of person those words came from, it's safe to assume Hibiki has a better head on her shoulders than Kenji does. As for what's been seen of her, Hibiki appears to specialize in Thread Magic - but is that all?
Calypso Aurelia - A liar, a sociopath, and an excellent actress. Calypso Aurelia disguised herself as a Phoenix Fire Mage for several weeks in an attempt to get closer to Mana to get her to let her guard down. She returns the familial affection Devlio shows to her. Will be attacked the next time she meets Akane. (Episode 28)
A Revenant Beasts Dark Mage in truth, Calypso's true magic is Gold Magic - or a curse in Danate's words. As she was deceiving everyone around her, it's unknown what her actual level of strength is - but she did have the mental strength to stab herself in the leg. She appeared to truly hold Emile in some regard and was displeased to learn he didn't have any plans to leave Phoenix Fire.
Rosalia Moore - Your everyday rich girl elitist, it's very curious what could lead someone like her into joining up with a Dark Guild. She's extremely prideful but she's also critical and clever - she knows when she's fighting a losing battle. According to Calypso, Rosalia woke up one day to be met with the corpses of her entire family. (Episode 26)
A relatively new, prominent member of Revenant Beasts. Rosalia is quite the clever woman but despite that, she can't always get herself out of sticky situations. She specializes in a Magic almost as elegant and pretty as her: Flower Magic.
Heaven's Light
Xander Break - A seemingly pious older man who's also a traitor and a murderer. The Guild Master of Heaven's Light, he claims his goal is to 'purify the world with light'. He murdered the entire village of Markello - or so he thought. Cole Match, the son of his former best friend, survived and is out for Xander's head. (Episode 13)
A cocky and very calm man despite the sheer bloodlust that radiates from Cole when he's around, Xander is extremely confident in his abilities. He appears to utilize Ring Magic and Light Magic. With his history, one can only assume Xander is quite proficient in both.
Haze Vector - One of Xander's many lackeys, from what's been seen of Haze, he appears to be at the man's beck and call like a loyal dog. (Episode 13)
Not much is known about Xander's dog. He appeared seconds after Xander appeared to summon him with the blue ring on his thumb and most likely specializes in a Shadow Magic of some sort.
Uzlamain - Your average Dark Mage with a few screws loose, Uzlamain 'The Earth King' is generally a cold, stoic individual. However that's not always the case. When he senses power or one of his battles starts to become hectic, the maniac underneath his exterior comes out to play. Uzlamain's usual intelligence and patience becomes replaced with a mad thirst for a bloody fight to the death. (Episode 12)
Whether it was his skill or sheer bloodlust keeping him conscious, Uzlamain managed to survive several attacks from Ace before she finally knocked him unconscious. As expected from his title, the Earth King, Uzlamain specializes in an earth based Magic: Cavern God Slaying Magic. As seen by Ace's appearance after their battle, having God Slayer enhanced rocks thrown at you packs quite the punch.
Valiance Government
Eric Vaust - The Vice President of Valiance and current interim leader due to the President's sickness. Eric seems to have little patience for his new Grand General's antics but still places a great deal of trust in her.
Anastasia Elsa Safinirina Venidestine...or "Ace" - The new Grand General of Valiance's military and the Supreme Commander of the Rune Knights. Revealed by Eric to be a Wizard Saint, Ace reveals her status as the number two Wizard Saint. When Emile says the top four Wizard Saints used to be 'not exactly human' during God Serena's time, Ace merely says that that still holds true.
A scarily calm woman with an ever present smile on her face, after the meeting with Vice President Vaust, what our Guild Mages thought they knew about Ace quickly went out the window when she implied she wasn't human. As young as she appears to be, Ace claimed that Drake Match and Xander Break used to be under her command when they were Rune Knights. She also knew Cole's mother and Cole himself when he was a baby. An extremely powerful Celestial Dragon Slayer, it's likely that Ace is one of the strongest Mages in the country, if not the strongest.
