Nagi Arisuin

Nagi Arisuin is a first year student from Hagun Academy and Shizuku's roommate.

Appearance
Nagi is a very effeminate looking man, having many effeminate features, like soft eyes, and very girlish lips, although this maybe due to the fact that he believes he is a girl trapped inside a man's body. He has very long dark hair, that covers most of his forehead, and goes down all the way his ears.

He is usually seen wearing his Hagun academy school uniform as well. He also wears a religious cross, tied in with a necklace, around his neck.

Personality
Nagi is a very kind hearted person who cares for his roommate Shizuku, constantly encouraging her and supporting her love towards her own older brother Ikki. He also seems to be very analytical, more so then he is leading on, as he analyzed Ikki and told him that Ikki's strength, and his pain tolerance were the same thing, even stating that it will some day destroy him.

The kind hearted person, however, was shown to be just a persona of his, to trick the other students in believing that he was harmless, when in actuality he is very cruel and doesn't even care about his supposed friend Shizuku, stating that she will still be done in, appearing that he did not care about her.

Eventually Nagi started to really care about Shizuku and the others as real friends, this would cause Nagi to betray Akatsuki and Rebellion.

History
Nagi comes from a small town in Eurasia, staying in a church with a nun and several children including his friend Yuuri. One day, his younger friends were kidnapped by a group of mob ordered by the mayor which resulted in the death of his best friend Yuuri. In rage, Nagi killed all the mobs emotionlessly but indirectly ended his friendships with his younger friends. While wandering alone, he ended up meeting Sir Wallenstein who offered Nagi a position in Rebellion which he accepted under the terms of being handed a large sum of money.

New Term, Reunion, and Rebellion
Nagi first appears inside his and Shizuku's room, alongside an angered Shizuku Kurogane over her issues with a certain princess who interrupted her and Ikki's moment together. Shizuku wondering if her love for her own brother was weird, Nagi then gives Shizuku some advice over this issue and decides to give Shizuku a makeover. Nagi is then invited by Shizuku, since her original plan was messed up by an intrusive Stella who invited herself along, wanting Nagi to be by her side, as she gains confidence when Nagi is around.

Nagi and Shizuku, then meet Stella and Ikki outside the front gate of Hagun Academy, where he introduces himself to the latter, shocking them, as they assumed Nagi, being named Alice the entire time by Shizuku, was a girl. The group then heads to the mall, and started to visits restaurants while waiting for the movie to start. After finishing their lunch, Nagi follows Ikki to the bathroom, wanting to know Ikki a little bit better and starts a conversation with Ikki, realizing that Ikki is too used to being hurt to the point he can no longer hear the screaming of his soul in pain. Nagi sensing the surrounding then grabs Ikki and runs inside the bathroom as the sounds of shattering glass followed by guns and screams are heard.

Ikki contacts Kurono, who already knows the situation and tells them that Rebellion has hostages at the food court. Nagi uses his shadow walk ability to transports Ikki and himself to the top level of the mall staring at the hostages, and finding Stella and Shikuzu among them. Nagi then stops an angered Ikki, who was about to go down, showing him the message, that said Shizuku was putting up a barrier. The conflict subsides as Nagi points out to Ikki that Stella had taken care of the rest. Nagi then gets the cops to arrest the members of Rebellion.

Debut Battle and Vow
Nagi is said to have won his preliminary round against an E-Rank within 10 seconds. Although it was unknown what method he used as he never showed any offensive abilities. He then goes to Ikki's match and cheers him on as he fight Kirihara.

Impossible Victory, Decisive Battle, and New Beginnings
Two days after Ikki's impressive victory over Kuraudo, Nagi interrupts, Ikki and Stella's intimate moment, after they were finally able to be completely alone for once. He tells them that Shizuku's tenth round opponent had been decided, Tohka Todo.

Siege, Reunion and Trap
Nagi was mentioned in having to fight in his own selection battle and was unable to go to Ikki's match against Tohka.

He had won his match as he was announced a participant in the seven sword festival by Kurono, but did not appear at the ceremony as he had to convey the information of the participants for Hagun Academy, to an unknown source who was a part of an underground group called Akatsuki, as well as revealing himself to being one of their members.

Training Camp and Scheme
Nagi is seen at the training camp, training for the sword art festival which was happening soon, brining along Shizuku who was on medical staff.

Nagi is later seen on the last night of the training camp stabbing Kagami in the back with his darkness hermit. When he contact Hiraga in order to tell him that someone had discovered their schemes he asked if he should kill her but Hiraga found that to be too complicated and instead insisted on hiding her, as their plan of attack would happen tomorrow morning anyways.

After Nagi had hidden Kagami's body, he went to his room where Shizuku was still awake reading a book. Nagi and Shizuku shares a drink together and Shizuku points out that Nagi had finally opened up to someone, as he hadn't done so since arriving at Hagun Academy, much to Nagi's own surprise.

Akatsuki Strikes
While on the bus back to the school, with all the Hagun academy participants of the training camp was on there, Nagi confesses to everyone that he was an assassin for Akatsuki academy with the goal of stopping their movements and allowing the Akatsuki members to defeat them easily. The students had at first turned on Nagi after this revelation however, thanks to Shizuku pointing out the flaw of the very idea of an assassin pointing himself out before the plan is enacted, Ikki decided to trust them allowing the others to trust him as well.

The students had arrived to a destroyed Hagun Academy, where they had faced off against akatsuki academy. Nagi was able to instead bind the students of Akatsuki with his ability, however he is soon stabbed multiple times in the back by Amane. It is then revealed that the real Akatsuki members were hiding as they knew of Nagi's betrayal thanks to Amane's ability. Nagi's unconscious body is then taken by Hiraga to Akatsuki academy.

Nagi regains consciousness and is confronted by his master Wallenstein. Nagi tells Wallenstein that he betrayed him because he cared too much for Shizuku to allow her to be hurt. Wallenstein had become angered at such an answer and began to severly beat on Nagi. Shizuku then arrived and had battle Wallenstein and although she was unable to match him in power, Shizuku was able to outclass Wallenstein in technique and ability allowing her to beat Wallenstein and save Nagi's life.

After the Akatsuki scheme it is revealed that Nagi had dropped out of the seven sword art festival believing himself be a detriment to the team if he stayed in as a representative of Hagun Academy.
