Plot
List of Trinity Seven characters
Arata Kasuga lived a normal life together with his cousin and childhood friend Hijiri Kasuga in a small town. However, everything changes on the day of the Black Sun, which caused the Breakdown Phenomenon which destroys the town where he lived and takes Hijiri away. As Hijiri starts disappearing, she hangs a grimoire around his neck, asking it to protect Kasuga. Shattered by losing Hijiri and all of his other friends and family, Arata asks for his world to be good again, which leads to the grimoire artificially reconstructing his normal life and making him forget both the destruction of the city and Hijiri's disappearance. Lilith Asami, a mage, is sent to investigate the ruins, and she finds the powerful spell in their stead. She makes Arata remember the actual events, and consequently the spell is broken, but not without the grimoire telling him that Hijiri is still alive. Arata decides that his only option is to become a mage himself so he could rescue Hijiri, and so he joins the Royal Biblia Academy, a secret school for mages that deals with magical issues around the world. There he is introduced to the Trinity Seven, seven powerful mages who are at the top of their respective fields (Lilith being one of them) and who will help him in his goal of becoming a powerful magician and learning the truth about Hijiri and the Black Sun. He soon finds out that one of the Trinity Seven, Arin, looks almost exactly like his missing cousin, although she shows a completely different personality.

On their way, Arata remarks that he is content with his normal, peaceful life before noticing the black sun overhead. At the same time, Arata and Hijiri pass by Lilith, who commands Arata to awaken. On the roof of the school, Arata asks Hijiri about the black sun and she assures him that it has always been that way, even before he was born. Arata deduces Hijiri is a fake because her old drawings boasted a red sun. Lilith appears and attacks the fake Hijiri. The fake Hijiri dispels the magic around Arata and reveals that his city was destroyed three days ago by a gravitational fluctuation breakdown phenomenon. He recalls the real Hijiri handing him a grimoire before kissing him and disappearing into the void. Arata used the grimoire to recreate his peaceful life before the breakdown phenomenon. Lilith offers Arata two choices: die, or hand over the grimoire, which has manifested as the fake Hijiri, and have his memories erased. The grimoire reveals that Hijiri is still alive and Arata resolves to become a mage in hopes of saving her. On his first day at the Royal Biblia Academy, Arata discovers those mages of Demon Lord class can create worlds. The academy's headmaster welcomes Arata, describing what mages do, and tells him that in order to save Hijiri, he will need the help of the Trinity Seven, of which Lilith is a member. Arata also meets Trinity Seven's Levi Kazama and sees Akio Fudo and Mira Yamana from the window. Later that night, Arata runs into another Trinity Seven member, Arin Kannazuki in the men's bath. | LineColor = FF7F00 | }} |
