Akatsuki

Akatsuki (暁, lit. "Dawn") was a team of Blazers consisting of members of the seven Mage-Knight Academies who participated in the 62nd Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.

Summary
The Akatsuki was formed by Bakuga Tsukikage, the current Prime Minister of Japan whose goal was to ruin the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival in order to prove the superiority of Japan as a nation over the League of Mage-Knight Nations. To that end, he recruited seven students, who were acquainted with Rebellion, from the seven Mage-Knight Academies to become the representatives of their respective schools in an attempt to ruin the Festival.

Aside from the six prime members, there appear to be multiple affiliates and associates working for the team, including one of the Numbers, Wallenstein as a "teacher". The primary members of Akatsuki later join the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival under the guise of the eighth Mage Knight academy, Akatsuki Academy, with the influence of the founder.

Akatsuki was somewhat successful in the Festival, though they failed to reach the finals, with the two last members being defeated in the semi-finals.
