The Unwavering Bonds that Illuminate the Beyond

Kondo’s Comments

As they have grown into adults, be prepared for the match ups of the original Class VII with the new!

After graduation from the military academy, the original Class VII chose to take their own different paths, and a year and a half later, after they have matured over time, Rean and his class will be encountering them. While they they were classmates of Rean’s while at the military academy, they have become musicians, bracers, lords, and so forth. As anxieties increase in Erebonia, they will step in to take action one by one. Events that show how much their connections grew over the time they were classmates at Thors Academy will be laid out through the game. In Sen no Kiseki III, as Juna and Kurt make their debuts as Rean’s students, you will be able to see how they inherit their roles as the Class VII from the original members. As the new Class VII meets with the original, they will both mutually find new strengths, so pay attention to see about how they interact through their exchanges.

Regarding their appearances, Elliot and Fie have grown a bit, and their hairstyles have changed. In Fie’s case, she might even find her now long hair slightly troublesome (Laugh). Emma seems to have taken on a similar style to the clothes worn by the now missing Vita from her time as Misty. As she has studied in the secrets in her village and grown into her role as a witch, will Emma potentially become a successor to Clotilde, her missing older sister…? In this work, many truths about the original Class VII members will come to light and you will learn about what they’ve been doing for the past year and a half. For example, the birth of both Millium and Altina, the mission of the witches, the incident that caused Gaius to break contact with the others, as well as the truth behind the core of many legends encountered, so please enjoy the game to learn about them. Additionally, the original Class VII members still have their abilities as subcontractors. You can expect them to come to Rean’s aid and use their abilities with him and the Divine Knight Valimar.

After qualifying to become an assistant instructor, Laura has begun traveling around the country to train further, seeking out incidents to better her swordsmanship.

One of the Two Great Sword Schools of the Empire

The Vander sword style, used by the family that has served as the guardians of the imperial family, is one of two traditional schools in Erebonia. Where the Vander style serves as a ‘defensive’ style school, the Arseid style is said to sepcialize as an ‘offensive’ style. This is the reason why blades are often used two handed in this style. Victor S. Arseid, Laura’s father, is the current head of the style, with the successive title of ‘Radiant Blademaster.’ He is one of the three most powerful fighters of the empire.

After the breakup of the jaeger group, Zephyr, due to the death of its leader, a bracer named Sara recommended Fie to enter Thors Military Academy and become part of Class VII, and she matured there during her time as a student.

During the civil war, Fie re-encountered some of her old allies from Zephyr, and they disappeared, leaving her with their strange words, saying they wanted to bring back their leader.

She thought both about the true meaning of those words, and the things she can do for the sakes of those in Class VII, and chose to join the Bracer Guild after her graduation.

During the civil war, Fie encountered her old allies Xeno and Leonidas who both stated that the group is currently acting to “bring back their leader,” though what they exactly meant by this is still unknown.

Voice: Shinnosuke Tachibana

The second son of Duke Albarea, one of the lords of the Four Great Houses, and the younger brother of Rufus Albarea, the governor general of Crossbell.

He was always struggling with the idea of being born between the commoners and the nobles, but during his time with Class VII, he made close relationships with Rean and his classmates, who served as inspiration to him.

After graduation, he stepped in to support the noble faction in place of both his father and his brother, and though he has become a feudal lord at a young age, he still has plans to revitalize the Bareahard territory.

After the treatment of the Vander family and increasing tax reforms, pressures on the noble families have strengthened and unrest has begun to fill the air. Because of this Jusis has begun to communicate with the Hyarms and Rogner families behind the scenes…

The Great Noble Families that Stand Just Below the Emperor

Amongst the imperial noble families, these are the four with the highest status.

Machias Regnitz

Age: 20
Voice: Takuya Satou

This hardworking individual is the son of Governor Regnitz, a very influential person within Erebonia.

Despite his deep hatred for the noble class after a devastating incident within his family, he still grew to see both Rean and Jusis as friends despite their social statuses during his time as part of Class VII.

After his graduation from Thors, Machias considered a different path than both his father and chancellor Osborne when enrolling into an imperial political science school. With a strict diligence like his father, he worked and obtained the necessary credits within a year at the school.

At an exceptional 19 years old, he entered the office of inspector of the administration of justice, and has begun his work inspecting businesses across the empire, but he has also noticed Chancellor Osborne’s plans of “a certain political policy”…

Keyword: Commoners and Nobles

When he enrolled to Thors Military Academy, Machias at first hated the nobles and the noble system because of the suicide of his cousin, who was like a sister to him, after she was engaged to a noble. It is likely that many people during the civil war came to have the same feelings towards nobles that Machias did. While Machias’ friendships with Rean, Jusis, and Laura in Class VII softened his feelings, how do the citizens of Erebonia feel these days? You’ll want to pay attention to the relationships between the commoners and the nobles.

After her graduation from Thors, she chose to search for Vita.
