Shinya's Exam Opponent

This unnamed student made use of spell tags in a selection exam fight against Shinya Hīragi. He is an unnamed character in the Seraph of the End: Guren Ichinose: Catastrophe at Sixteen manga. After the round he would fall victim to the Hyakuya Sect who had commenced their assault on First Shibuya High School.

Appearance
He had short messy hair where the fringe in the centre was slightly longer than in the immediate sides. For clothing, his uniform consisted of a dark colored, long-sleeved jacket, and pants.

Personality
Trembling, he appeared visibly afraid to be facing Shinya. This changed to eagerness to engage after Shinya spoke. He was calm in detailing what he had done in terms of his spell tag applications. At seeing his spell tag power fail he appeared stunned.

Story
Across from Shinya while the referee was speaking, when the match was set to begin he said for Shinya to please excuse him. Hearing that should have an exciting match, he agreed yes and readied his weapons of choice, spell tags. Deploying them, he does not act further when other students comment that with such a large spell that even Shinya would die if he were hit by it. Informing Shinya that he has already completed the spell, yet ordered to attack, he gives his greatest apologies but he does not have any intention to kill him. With that, he suggests that perhaps Shinya could withdraw from the match. Questioned what he means and whether he was doubting Shinya’s power, he was urged by a referee to attack quickly given the chance. Acting on the guidance, he prepared to generate the attack and mentioned to Shinya if he dies it is not his fault. The power brought down is rendered into a scant flame and he remains on his knees as Shinya is declared the winner.

After a red light and an explosion that follows it, he gathers himself amongst the smoke. Asking a girl what that light was just now, he apparently does not feel that his right arm has come apart at the forearm with the light having passed through it. He shouts at the state of his arm when the situation becomes apparent, while the Hyuakuya Sect continue their assault on Shibuya High School.

Shinya Hīragi
Initially nervous that his opponent was the adopted son of the head of the Hīragi family, he was nevertheless polite when speaking with Shinya. He explained how he felt he had won with the spell completed, but would not activate it out of a desire to not harm him.

Powers & Abilities
He had at least seven spell tags ready to use at once. Casting them upwards they resulted in a wave like emission being created. Upon being activated the power formed a vortex in the air. While the size of it scattered other students as it came down, the full impact was not seen with Shinya having it disappear. He does not seem to have realized that as they were talking, Shinya had inserted magic at specific points to interfere with his spell, causing it to fail, according to Guren Ichinose's view of the scenario.
