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
Akatsuki was formed by Bakuga Tsukikage, the current Prime Minister of Japan, as part of his plan to prove the superiority of Japan as a nation so that it will leave 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 to dominate the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.

Aside from the primary 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 except Nagi Arisuin later join the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival under the guise of eight Mage-Knight academy, Akatsuki Academy, with the influence of the founder. Akatsuki's goal in the tournament was to win it in order to prove that a national Mage-Knight academy under Japan's own control is superior than the other Mage-Knight academies in Japan that are under the League of Mage-Knight Nations' control. Their plan failed with their two last members being defeated in the semi-finals.
