Characters
- Template:Nihongo
- Template:Voiced by
- A fledgling F-rank adventurer, doing odd jobs for the town. He lacks any talent in all of the six Schools of Adventurer Classes, only receiving the most basic of skills in all of them even after training for three months in each class, such a swordsman skill, [Parry], which as its namesake, can only parry attacks and nothing more. However, due to training all of these skills for 14 years non-stop in hopes of unlocking new skills, he has unknowingly evolved all of his existing skills to the point that they became inhumanely strong, even far surpassing his former masters.
- Due to living in isolation at the mountains for 14 years, Noor is lacking in social cues and common sense which keeps causing misunderstandings about him by a lot of people especially Lynne. As he never understood that his basic skills have become superhuman oddities (due to an acute inferiority complex he developed during his childhood as a result of being rejected by all of his former masters), he kept mistaking high level threats he fights for as "basic starter enemies" which leaves him constantly doubting his own skills and humbling himself despite his inhuman feats.
- After saving Lynne's life, he was rewarded by King Clays with the Black Blade, a mysterious blade found by the king during his adventuring days that was said to be virtually unbreakable, which became his signature weapon. He sometimes comically used it to assist him in his odd jobs (such as using it as a shovel to dig out gutters).

- The princess of the Kingdom of Clays. She was saved by Noor during her coming-of-age trial, where he defeated a minotaur—a catastrophic level threat—with only his [Parry] skill. She then finds and follows Noor around, later declaring herself as his Page (a term for an apprentice for an adventurer), who reluctantly accepts.
- Due to her royal upbringing, she is lacking in social cues and common sense just as much as Noor, causing a chain of misunderstandings between them, with Lynne thinking that Noor's genuine insecurities are signs of humility and confidence.
- Despite her airheaded nature, she actually excels in all six classes of adventurers, even claiming that she received top marks in all of them during training.

- The vice-captain of the Warrior Corps, and Lynne's personal bodyguard. She is a prodigy known as the "Divine Shield", who was an orphan until Dundarg took her in as his foster daughter. Due to Dundarg's habit of off-handedly mentioning Noor during her training, Ines developed a sense of jealousy towards him, which amplified when they finally met.
- Template:Nihongo
- Template:Voiced by
- The king of the Kingdom of Clays, and father to Rein and Lynne. He used to be an adventurer himself, and is the previous owner of the Black Blade, before giving it to Noor as a reward for saving his daughter, although the real reason he gave it to him is because he saw him as an important asset and a potential deterrent in an upcoming war with a neighboring kingdom.
- Template:Nihongo
- Template:Voiced by
- The firstborn to the Kingdom of Clays, heir to the throne, and Lynne's older brother. He has a sharp mind and a loyal devotion to his kingdom.

- The captain of the Spearman Corps. He is so powerful that he has said to be capable of singlehandedly defeat a dragon. He has beaten every person in the kingdom in mock battle except his master Sig and Ines (who he refused to fight due to her unwillingness to wield a weapon), causing immense burnout and frustration in him due to a lack of a worthy opponent. After being beaten and inadvertently humiliated by Noor, he has developed a one-sided rivalry with him, while also reigniting his spirit.
- A running gag in the series is Noor's inability to remember Gilbert's name, much to his chagrin.
