It has something to do with the hierarchy of angels, I believe?? Like, Seraphim-Principality-Cherubim-Archangel-Angel or something like that. Regardless, every religion has their own slightly connected but ultimately different idea on angels, so it will be interesting to see where Kagami chooses to go! So I looked it up, and apparently there are three 'spheres' that angels are put in (for the sake of this discussion I am using Christianity/Catholic angeleogy, because there are different ranks and names for Judaism, and no specific organization for Islam):

The highest order/First Sphere, who serve as heavenly servants to God: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones

The middle order/Second Sphere, who are heavenly governors: Virtues, Powers, Dominions

The lowest order/Third Sphere, who serve as guides/messengers: Principalities, Archangels, Angels​​​​​​

Apparently, while the seraphim are the 'highest angelic class', the archangels are the ones who are in the Book of Revelation. Also, some people differentiate between Archangels and archangels, with 'arch'angels being just above the common angel, and Archangels being above all angels, including seraphim.

This is all very theological though, and most people don't know the distinctions even if they have been raised around Christians/Catholics, so I wouldn't exactly expect Kagami to know them.
