Kiriya is a skilled swordsman ranging from kendo to fencing. When he tells his friends, the group dismisses the message as they believe it to only be a dream. Kaito Kiriya ( 霧谷 魁斗 Kiriya Kaito ?)Ī quiet and shy student who receives a message from an elven woman from End Earth. In the end, she returns to her own world, together with Kiriya and Seena. Kureha has feeling for Kiriya, but she never expresses them to him. Kiriya can also draw a sword from her, the Spirit Sword Blazing Sunlight ( 霊剣 日輪烈光 Ryōken Nishirin Rekkō ?). After Kiriya and Souma's fight, she joins Kiriya and the other Luminous Knights. Fortunately, she was revealed to be unscathed after Souma pulled out a sword from her body, the Spirit Sword Snow Moon Flower ( 霊剣 雪月華 Ryōken Setsu Getsu Ka ?). Upon their arrival, she was attacked by monsters and presumably died. She was transported to End Earth with Souma after they helped Mao defeat a monster. Kureha is skilled in the art of archery, or kyūdō. Touka Kureha ( 呉羽 冬華 Kureha Touka ?)Ī student who also happens to work at a shrine as a miko, or shinto priestess. Out of the rest of the characters, Souma was able to extract the most Soul Blades having drawn blades from Kureha, Hiruda, Kiriya, who in fact possesses his Holy Grail, and also from all the members of the current Weissritter. Souma then decides to give up his chance of going back to his own world and decides to stay with Mao and Weissritter. In the end, after seeing Mao's sad and tearful face, he realizes his true feelings for Mao and her feelings for him. After expressing his desire to join Weissritter, he is nominated as its proxy leader.

Souma becomes a sort of mediator, not taking any sides, and travels with Lazarus, Ryuna, Elwyn, and Blanc Neige, in his mission to protect and save the world. His attitude also shifts from a rash and emotional state, to having a calm and understanding demeanor.

After his second meeting with Zero, he receives one of the Twin Dragon Rings, and begins to see the world in a whole new way. When Souma and Kureha were between dimensions, they were greeted by Zero, who entrusted Souma in guarding the world from then on. So, he temporarily uses a katana when there are no Soul Blades around for him to use. Later, after Souma and Kureha meet up with Kiriya and Seena, he departs from the group, leaving Kiriya and Seena to take care of Kureha, realizing that she did not feel the same way about him and thus decided to no longer use Kureha's heart as a Soul Blade, since he knew that her heart had feelings for Kiriya. Unlike Kureha, Souma would rather stay in End Earth, as he believes that it is the right place for him and since he thinks that he could be "together" with Kureha in End Earth. Souma turns out to be a 'Soul Blader', which is a person that can form a sword from the heart of any person he shares similar emotions with. After seeing Kureha presumably die, he was able to pull out a legendary sword from Kureha's body. He then confesses his affection for her, which apparently is not mutual, shortly before being transported to the other world.

At the beginning of the series, Souma has feelings for Kureha, despite knowing that she has feelings for Kiriya he sometimes gets annoyed at Kiriya for not noticing her feelings for him.

Zero later tells Souma that the world will end if Zeroboros, the guardian of time and space, awakens. In End Earth, a war, surrounding a legendary item called "The Holy Grail", begins. As they travel this new world, they encounter familiar friends and enemies, and they begin to realize that getting back to their own world is harder than they previously thought. To make things more complicated, Zero appears to the two stating that he will now entrust the world to Souma. Just when things seem to go their way, an accident teleports Souma and Kureha into another world. As Mao, a being from the other world, enters their world in order to look for her friend, Zero, she teams up with Souma and Kureha in order to battle a monster who also came to their world. One student, who was researching a book entitled 'End Earth', which describes an alternate world, also mysteriously disappears.
