Biography
One day during his second year of high school, Kentarou and his entire class was summoned to Tortus by its god Ehit in order to help humanity's war against the Demons. He and his classmates trained in the Heiligh Kingdom for two weeks, under the supervision of Knight Commander Meld Loggins, before they traveled to the Great Orcus Labyrinth, in order to fight the monsters that dwelled inside it until they were strong enough to fight the demons. During their first trip the the Labyrinth, they were all transported to the 65th floor due to a trap that was accidentally set off by Daisuke Hiyama. It was there that they were all surrounded by an army of skeletal Traum Soldiers on one side, and a Behemoth on the other. After a fierce battle, almost everyone managed to escape, but Kentarou's classmate Hajime Nagumo was believed to have been killed when he fell off the bridge the Behemoth stood on, after he helped keep it at bay in order for the rest of his class to escape. This ordeal had severely effected the remaining students' morale, but Kentarou was among those who resumed their training in the Great Orcus Labyrinth.

Relationships

 * Kousuke Endou - One of Kentarou's oldest friends, and a member of his party. Even though Kentarou has known Kousuke for ages, he still can't perceive him, and tends to forget about his existence even though he is near him. Despite tending to forget him at times, he is very close and loyal to him as this was shown when he and Jugo Nagayama immediately rushed to his aid and helped Bernard Pace so Kousuke could aid Claudia Barenberg.
 * Jugo Nagayama - One of Kentarou's oldest friends and the leader of his party.
 * Ayako Tsuji - The two of them have feelings for each other, but they are both too shy to openly acknowledge them, as it took them returning to Earth to even call each other by their first names.
 * Mao Yoshino - A member of his party.
 * Hajime Nagumo - Like many of his classmates, he is terrified of Hajime’s ruthlessness and demonic strength. Like most of his classmates, he took Hajime's warning that he kill anyone who crosses him even his classmates seriously due to him being afraid to die which is intensified when he witnessed Hajime killing Daisuke Hiyama for his betrayal.

Powers & Abilities

 * Magic Master - As a Geomancer, he has the highest proficiency and mastery with earth magic than the rest of his class, but this is mostly limited to attack based magic. He has been shown to have a limited ability to actually manipulate minerals as compared to a Synergist. He also has the highest resistance against earth magic.

Skills

 * Earth Magic Affinity - A skill to use earth magic at a capable rate.
 * Earth Resistance - Increase resistance to earth magic to a certain degree.
 * Language Comprehension - A base skill granted to all those who got summoned. It gives the user the ability to understand any language and be proficient in it.

Spells/Attacks

 * Dark Gaol - A high-ranking earth spell that spreads a cloud of smoke that petrifies anything it touches. As long as any part of someone is hit by the petrification, it would slowly spread until they are completely frozen. The only way to stop it is to put up a barrier strong enough to repel it, or blow the smoke away before it touches anyone. However, only a high rank barrier would be able to hold it off. Furthermore, it requires an extremely powerful wind spell to be dislodged.
 * Marble Cloud - It unleashes a cloud of white smoke that petrifies anything it touches.
 * Stone Spire - Kentarou's strongest offensive spell. It unleashes a large amount of stone spikes from the ground.

Weapons & Equipment

 * Metal Wand - An artifact made by Hajime for the final battle against Ehit. It boosts his magical affinity to his earth magic.
