Ikki Kurogane

Driven by the ambition to transform from an F-rank Apprentice Knight into a true Mage Knight, this noble young man possesses a deeply caring nature, though he can display unexpected ruthlessness when pushed. Despite his martial dedication, he struggles with social awkwardness and lacks experience interacting with his female peers, a vulnerability that becomes painfully evident during his early encounters with Stella. His journey is defined by this struggle to overcome his low rank and social ineptitude.
