Magic Knight's System

The Magic Knights 「魔法騎士 Mahō Kishi」 are members of the Clover Kingdom's nine squads of mages who serve as protectors of the country. They are led by the Magic Emperor. The Clover Kingdom's Magic Knights is an organization where selected mages enter and become part of the Kingdom's military as a Magic Knight. The organization has a noble duty, protecting the Kingdom from various threats, such as invasions from foreign countries, to local crimes within the Kingdom itself. These duties are treated as missions which can be accomplished by any Magic Knights, where they could nominate themselves for the duty, or be nominated by a higher ranked Magic Knight.


The Magic Emperor awards gold stars to individual Magic Knights and teams of Knights who have demonstrated exceptional performance in the field. Black stars are awarded for failed missions or poor performances, such as damaging towns they were meant to defend, and count against the squad's total. The number of stars awarded for a mission depends on the difficulty or significance of the accomplishment. These stars, regardless of which squad member earned them, serve as a means to measure the strength of the squad as a whole. There is a festival held to celebrate their achievements and determine the best squad based on which squad has the most stars.


Members of the Magic Knights are differentiated through ranks, which represent their status within the organizations. A promotion to a higher rank is possible for every Magic Knight based on their performance, which is represented by the number of stars they had collected. Knights who are aiming to get a promotion need to collect a certain number of stars before the annual War Merits Conferment Ceremony to be considered for a promotion.[9]

The Magic Knights' ranks are as follows:

Magic Emperor 「魔法帝 Mahōtei, Viz: "Wizard King"」
Grand Magic Knight 「大魔法騎士 Dai Mahō Kishi」
Senior Magic Knight 「上級魔法騎士 Jōkyū Mahō Kishi」
Intermediate Magic Knight 「中級魔法騎士 Chūkyū Mahō Kishi」
Junior Magic Knight 「下級魔法騎士 Kakyū Mahō Kishi」


Members of the Magic Knights are divided into nine different squads, each of which is led by a Magic Knight that has been bestowed authority as the captain 「団長 danchō」 of the squad.[1][10] Each squad possesses their own insignia in correspondence to the squad's name, as well as signature robes that easily differentiate members of one squad from another.[11]

Additionally, all squads compete with one another in order to see which squads are the best. The ranks are determined by the cumulative amount of stars that the members of a squad have collected as a whole.[8]

The nine squads of the Magic Knights are as follows:

Golden Dawn

Black Bull

Silver Eagle

Blue Rose

Crimson Lion

Green Mantis

Coral Peacock

Purple Orca

Azure Deer


The Magic Knight's Entrance Exam is a monthly event that is held in the Kingdom's Capital. It is where all Magic Knight hopefuls go to attempt to get accepted into one of the nine squads. The exam usually has around three phases with the final phase typically being a battle between the contestants one on one. The other phases are determined by the head examiner, which is the Captain of the squad that has the most merits at that point in time. The other captains attend as well, so that they can get a feel of the recruits as well. If a captain is unable to come, they may choose a member of their squad to act as a proxy. When the exam is over, the Captains will decide if they want you on their squad or not. If multiple captains say yes, then it is up to you to choose between them.
