Reign of the Seven Spellblades, Vol. 1 (manga) (Reign of the Seven Spellblades (Manga))

Product Information

Our Elves Are Different: Elves are about the only species of demihumans treated as equals by mages, and sometimes interbreed with them: Chela is half-and-half and can take on a fully elven form to increase her spellcasting ability for short periods. Khiirgi "Avarice" Albschuch, a sixth-year aligned to the conservative faction, is the only full-blooded elf character introduced so far, and is an iconoclastic Jerkass who was expelled from elven society over her past behavior. Non-Heteronormative Society: Played with. Chela mentions in volume 2 that Muggle society is fairly heteronormative, but among mages, the only thing that really matters is your own abilities: at least eight named characters including main cast member Pete Reston are known to be some flavor of queer, and this is considered unremarkable or even a point in their favor. That said, there is some stigma around Sex Magic, enough that there's campus club for students with gender- and sex-related magical traits which serves as the In-Universe equivalent of an LGBT student union (founder Carlos Whitrow is nonbinary and asexual, with a Beautiful Singing Voice that counters other sex-related magics). Nanao is a samurai from a warrior family in Tourikueisen, Yamatsukuni located in the continent of Azia. She is a noble and cheerful person who holds honor in high regard and even more a good fight. After fighting in a war and almost dying, she is saved by a passing mage named Theodore McFarlane who takes her to Yelgland and enrolls her in Kimberly Magic Academy, seeing her great talent for swordsmanship.

Striking Strength: Can defeat trolls who can pulverize a warg with a single fist. Could keep with the Demonic Indus Bird Garuda which is stronger than a troll but would eventually lose to it. Tullio Rossi, who sees himself as a class rival to main character Oliver Horn, makes several passes at Oliver's Love Interest Nanao Hibiki. He has absolutely no success at this because Nanao only has eyes for Oliver.Flamma: A basic combat that creates and launches a fireball. The potency of fire depends upon the amount of mana used in the spell. Crunchyroll to Stream Reign of the Seven Spellblades, Liar Liar Anime". Anime News Network. June 15, 2023 .

Precursors: Volume 8 explains that the labyrinth underneath Kimberly was built by an ancient civilization called the Parsu, which was destroyed by a Zombie Apocalypse when its army of Undead Laborers went out of control.An anime adaptation from J.C. Staff and Warner Bros. Japan, directed by Masato Matsune, was announced during the 2021 Dengeku Bunko Winter Festival. It premiered 7 July 2023 note in an after-midnight time slot, Tokyo time on Tokyo MX and BS11, and is simulcast on Crunchyroll with English, Hindi, and German dubs. It ran for fifteen episodes and concluded on 13 October, adapting the first three volumes of the original novels. Super-Toughness: Mages as a rule are hard to kill: they can usually at least survive anything that doesn't kill them right away, though a full recovery requires medical intervention. This is used by the author as an excuse to repeatedly inflict grievous wounds on them without issue: to name but one example, Oliver is disemboweled by the garuda in volume 1, but instead of bleeding out in seconds, is able to retreat and sort himself out with a healing spell while Nanao holds it off.

The Rizett Style, favored by Chela, is a more offensively oriented fencing style. One known technique is the Hero's Charge, a sudden headlong rush ending in a thrust at full extension. While Nanao seems to have taken Chela's advice to heart since then, even with her growing affection for Oliver, her desire to duel him still lingers. In the novel, Teresa Carste wasn't introduced until the epilogue of the first volume (chapter 15 of the manga). The anime adds several scenes in the first five episodes where she covertly meets with Oliver on the dormitory quad, as well as having her send an anonymous tip to the Campus Watch to get Godfrey and Whitrow to respond to Oliver and Nanao's raid on Miligan's laboratory. In volume 4, Nanao admits to Katie that she fears her simultaneous love for Oliver and suppressed desire for a Duel to the Death with him might drive her mad, and asks Katie to kill her if that ever happens. Katie has a mental image of Nanao surrounded by blood and corpses and realize she's imagining her consumed by the spell. Oliver's athame resembles a messer: It is a straight-spined single-edged sword with a cruciform hilt.Michela McFarlane: Oliver and Michela are close friends who often act as the more mature members of the sword roses to ensure everyone is ok and behaving well, both of them act like coaches to help their fellow friends with improving their skills be it with magic or sword arts. Oliver and Michela sometimes get into debates about which swordsman style is more effective, though its just a friendly debate and nothing more. For Nanao, sparring with Oliver becomes a cherished pastime, and she considers him not just a friend but her destined sword partner. In her heart, she envisions a future where they may engage in a duel to the death. This thought showcases the level of trust and respect she places in their friendship and martial abilities.
