However, Ray is secretly the Iceblade Sorcerer, one of the seven great sorcerers in the entire world. He is a legendary war hero who fought in the brutal Far East War years prior. For some guilt from the conflict, Ray hides his identity. He simply wishes to live out a quiet, peaceful life as a normal student.

Elisa Griffith A shy, highly intelligent half-elf researcher. Evangeline & others: Eccentric classmates who respect Ray’s gentle nature.
