Relationships

 * Ryutarou Sakagami - Suzu's boyfriend one year after she and the other students return to Japan. She is asked by him to return to Tortus to be an adventurer and spend their days together helping Kouki and the people, to which she accepts.
 * Kouki Amanogawa - one of her friends from Earth and fellow adventurer.
 * Eri Nakamura - Suzu considers Eri her best friend and always will be. She is devastated by Eri's betrayal and it has an everlasting effect on her.
 * Kaori Shirasaki - one of her closest friends. Suzu tends to act perverted around Kaori, but will always stand by her.

Weapons & Equipment
The following are the abilities enchanted in the fans.
 * Twin Iron Fans - two iron-ribbed fans created by Hajime Nagumo. They are bound to Suzu’s mana and blood, so only she can use them. They are able to reduce the length of Suzu's chants, and can enhance any defensive spells channeled through them thanks to evolution magic. Her fans also absorb trace amount of her mana at all times and store it for future use, as well as reducing the mana consumption of spells cast with them. There are jewels attached to the handle of each fan that allows her to summon various monsters that she controls. Each fan has a specific ability that complements each other. The right fan is used to cast traditional barrier spells, while the left fan can add secondary effects to those barriers, allowing Suzu to use composite magic.
 * Blazing Hallowed Ground - a composite spell that combines fire magic and barrier magic. It creates a superheated zone inside the barrier.

Skills

 * Barrier Magic Aptitude
 * Mana Efficiency Up
 * High-speed Invocation Up
 * Remote Control
 * Continuous Activation
 * Light Element Aptitude - it allows the user to use light magic at a capable rate.
 * Barrier Aptitude Link
 * Metamorphosis Magic - one of the "Ancient Magics" originating from the "Age of God", which allows a user to remake the form of a normal being and reform them into a different form. Normally it's used to remake a normal organism and turn it into a monster, or even manipulate the magic stone of a monster and remake them. But the true power of this magic is the ability to 'interfere with any organic material'. Meaning not only animals, but it's also possible to remake plants or intelligent beings, and reform their structure as needed. Even byproducts of organic material, like paper or food, can also be manipulated by this magic. The magic stone which gets created during the process is just a byproduct of the process.
