Ikki Kurogane Husbando

Ikki Kurogane is the primary male protagonist of Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan. Despite him hailing from a well-respected household that has produced superior Blazers for generations, he was labeled as a failure, even for an F-Rank and born with a useless power becoming known as the Worst One. After leaving home to pursue his dreams, entering Hagun Academy, but he was forced to repeat a year due to the previous staff and the intervention of the Kurogane Household. After Kurono Shinguuji took the position as the Director and fired all the other staff involved in it, Ikki was promised that if he were to win the 62nd Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, then she would allow him to graduate. In the finals, Ikki became one of the three Desperados of Japan and became the current Seven Stars Sword King. He also participated in the tournament between Vermillion and Cradleland as a part of Team Vermillion. Ikki is a young man of average height with spiky black hair and gray eyes. He is described as having a lean but well-built toned physique and cute face, which makes him popular with both younger girls and even older ladies. Both his physical features and gentle looks are one of the reasons why Sara wanted him to be her nude model. Ikki also bears a strong resemblance to both his father and older brother. There have been situations where Ikki has worn several clothes in the series based on the time or event, he is mostly seen dressed in the standard uniform for Hagun Academy. After dying at the hands of Or-Gaule and being revived by Shizuku using Aoiro Sekai, Ikki returned to the appearance of a ten-year-old and as such has the physical features and abilities of a child. Despite his harsh childhood, Ikki has shown to be a strong-willed and noble young man with a caring personality, which has been shown throughout the series as he when he helped others like his classmates improve on all of their abilities with their devices despite everyone prior treating him like a failure. This caused those who met him personally (even for a minute) to question the false rumors Mamoru Akaza spread about Ikki's, having found him to be very kind and polite. This holds true for those struggling to become better on their own, as he understands what a hard road it was. Though Nagi stated this is can also a bad thing since Ikki was too used to being hurt that he wouldn't be able to hear the screams of his own heart, a fact proven before his fight against Kirihara after he had a panic attack and during when Ikki couldn't see through the situation first. Despite his calming nature, Ikki can lose his temper after witnessing Bishou forcing Stella to strip in front of them to rescue the hostages. He won't even hesitate to maim enemies as he cut off Bishou's arm using Raikou and he was close to wounding Kirihara, but he intentionally missed by 1 millimetre, just to prove that he could maim If the situation called for it, Ikki wouldn't hesitate to kill his enemies as he was forced to kill Iris Ascarid, albeit he did feel bad since she was both a friend and comrade, while understanding that he didn't have a choice. Ikki is shown to be quite calm in even the most arduous of the situation, as seen when he stayed calm the entire encounter with Kuraudo even brushing off the fact that he was hit with a bottle, trying to avoid the fight even after he was spat on. He can also be cold in battle and doesn't mind enjoying a heated battle with a strong opponent, which is shown several times in the Selection Matches and Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. When it comes to dealing with women of his age and the whole academy in general Ikki is clumsy because Ikki has no prior experience with them outside of respect towards a superior or as a knight. This is shown when he confronts Stella on that subject. Due to his years of being discriminated against for being an F-Rank, Ikki is not entirely used to his sudden rise in popularity and often doesn't know how to best deal with his many female fans. Despite situations implying otherwise, he is not very perverted. He usually tries his hardest to show restraint and respect to the woman who acts lecherously around him, such as Stella and Shizuku. He also chose not to have sex with Stella in the log cabin they were staying, even though she suggested it, knowing he needed her family's approval first.
