Early Days of Summoners' Hall

Shortly after the Summoner Hall was established, some potential members joined. The Summoners’ Hall led by 3 Summoners of Old at that time : Owen, Grahdens, and Warlon.

Some time after that, a former soldier from Randall Empire joined the Summoner Hall after he saw Owen’s fierce battle. And thus, Griff left the army and joined the Summoner Hall.

The captain of the expedition team and the captain of the Fourth Division, Griff.
At the time, rather than act on the front lines, he was training the newer summoners at the Hall.

Griff got promoted into a division captain, namely the Fourth Division, which means that he was only second to Elder Summoners. In the field, Griff often acted like a father figure for his juniors, including scolding his comrades while they are arguing.

There was also a woman who once worked as a civil official in Randall, and she joined the Summoners’ Hall after she proved that she was not a spy from Elgaia. She was soon promoted to be the captain of Fifth Division of the Demon Slayers.

A huge portion of our information on Grand Gaia was compiled thanks to her.

Some time after the Summoners’ Hall established, they sent some of their members to explore Grand Gaia. Griff went to Agni and it was said that the red armour he wore was from the that Empire. Iris, meanwhile, no one knew where she went, but some said that she explored what left of The Land of Gods, and she learned about The Great War there. Additionally, it was also said that she preferred to summon the spirit of those calles 12 Guardians of Gods.

The captain of Sixth Division, Kafka, was once a magic researcher in Randall. She was a descendant of magicians, and she managed to decrypted an ancient magical script discovered in Grand Gaia, bringing a lot of lost knowledge back to life.

Captain of the Sixth Division, Kafka.
Highly skilled in magic, she even brought an ancient magic back to life.
Even though her personality was a little strange.
- Grahdens -

She was sent to Bariura during the exploration of Grand Gaia. She uncovered great amounts of research data left behind by the Empire. The data from the laboratory of a certain dark magician (Shida) was especially large in volume, and it was said to have helped Kafka become even stronger. Additionally, this knowledge, combined with the technology the Roa brought home, gave birth to the Summoners research lab. However, these two divisions often got into fights, and they still form divisions within the lab.

Kafka was infamous for having squabbles with her fellow Division Captain, Roa of Seventh Division. It was said that everytime they were arguing, Grahdens would scold them. If Grahdens wasn’t there, Griff would replace Grahdens and scolded them.

Captain of the Seventh Division, Roa.
His knowledge of otherworldly technology was incredible, despite his flashy appearance.
I often scolded him for fighting with Kafka.
- Grahdens -

If Kafka was adept in magic, Roa was adept in technology. He was also that kind of a person who liked to tease his junior, as Mifa said later in Rakshult :

As I was nervously anticipating what would happen, Krantz of the 9th squad said nice words to me, while Roa-san of  7th squad teased me. Kafka-san of the 6th squad would then insult him as the rest of the captains looked on in laughter. Captain of the 4th, Griff-san would then yell at the rest when the noise got out of hand…

Roa was a scientist from Elgaia, before he joined the Summoner Hall. His extreme personality  and firm personal beliefs caused a lot of conflict with those around him. He passed on a lot of his knowledge to his nephew, who was later addressed as his son. His nephew then has a son, named Noel.

When he was sent to observe Grand Gaia, he explored Atharva, and he found many objects left behind by Legendary technicians (Rashil?), and by discovering these and uncovering their secrets, his achievements are left in the records. A lot of the technology used by the Summoners’ Hall are the result of Roa’s research, and it also contributed to the establishment of the Summoners research lab, together with Kafka’s magic.

In early days of Summoners’ Hall, there was another person who was VERY serious, and came from a similar background with Paris. She was, like Paris, also a noble from Randall, and joined the Summoners’ Hall despite the strong opposition from her family. The difference is, that she was promoted (maybe) faster than Paris. Her name was Libera. She wanted to use her power to help peole, rather than simply being stuck in a group of knights which only served the purpose of gaining fame. Since then, even after being disinherited from her household, she continued to look forward and worked hard as a researcher, eventually rising up to the rank of captain of a Demon Slayers’ Eighth Division.

Captain of the Eighth Division, Libera.
She’s from the Imperial Guard, just like Paris here.
Not only was she skilled, but she also had a serious personality.
She provided me with entertainment, Just like Paris-chan does now.
- Grahdens -

When she was sent to explore Grand Gaia, she arrived in Vriksha region, and found out that the Four Fallen Gods are having a power struggle. Considering the fact she was in the land ruled by Afla Dilith, it showed how incredible her research ability was. It is not an exaggeration to say that most of what the Elder Summoner learned about the current situation of Grand Gaia was thanks to her.

There were also these two people who was best friends even before they joined the Summoner Hall. One of them was Krantz. His background was a mystery, but some said that he had a peasant background before he entered the Summoners’ Hall. After he joined, his talent increased significantly so he was promoted to be the captain of Ninth Division, and his friend became the captain of Tenth Division after him.

Captain of the ninth Division, Krantz.
A young one, brimming with talent.
I had high hopes for him, that one day he will stand at the top of the Hall.
- Grahdens -

But his talent came with a fatal flaw : he really HATES machines. Any kind of machines. Perhaps, this was the reason why he didn’t complete the report of his exploration of Lizeria, since as we know, Lizeria has this machine called “Defense System”. Even so, it was said that Krantz managed to made Lizeria as a neutral zone, means that Lizeria was free from the menace of Four Fallen Gods.

Krantz’s best friend was once loved by everyone because he was “young and cute” that time. His name is Mifa, and he was especially attached with Krantz, naturally. He often followed the others around, and shortly before a secret mission was announced, Mifa was promoted to be the captain of Tenth Division of Demon Slayers.



The Secret Mission was announced by Summoners of Elders. They asked the Single Digits to explore a land called Ishgria. Originally, Grahdens didn’t want Mifa to join the expedition team, because Mifa was too young for that. But Krantz strongly argued with Grahdens, and he claimed that “he will protect Mifa at all costs”. Grahdens couldn’t argue anymore and he let Mifa joined the expedition team.

Upon entering Ishgria, the expedition team were “welcomed” by the Demon Lords of Ishgria, namely, Shusui and a Demon Beast. Griff then battled Shusui, and he realized that Shusui and him were similar, they were looking for a strong opponent. Griff then left Krantz in charge of the team and remained behind by himself, standing against the Demon. According to the records, the battle between Griff and the Demon lasted for several days, and the fierce battle was said to have been engraved in the memories of other Demons. Even Shusui himself remembered about Griff, as shown in the last area of Celgrad :

Iris, meanwhile, caught in the battle against a Demon Beast with the rest of the team. Libera handed the investigation reports she had to Iris before she went to her last battle with Krantz, prompting Iris to escape from the battlefield. Unfortunately, she met a being who called herself a Goddess then she was also disappeared.

(It was unclear whether the ‘Goddess’ was Mora or other Demon Lords, since in Rakshult, it was revealed that Morderim was also took an apprearance of a woman. But maybe, just maybe, it is safe to say that Mora was the one responsible for Iris’ death, as she was addressed as “Goddess” once).

Libera, meanwhile, stayed in the battlefield with Krantz, Roa, and Kafka, but soon, she and Krantz got separated with Roa and Kafka thanks to another Demon’s attack (still unknown). After she handed the reports to iris, she joined Krantz in the bloody struggle against the Demon. Krantz, meanwhile, forced to made a decision as the Demon attacked and thus, he ordered Mifa to run with the report as he stayed with Rivera in the bloody battle against the Demon.

Roa and Kafka left to face the Demon Beast. Roa then suggested a breakthrough plan using a machine in a ruin when things went out of control, and let his comrades escape. Sensing that Roa was actually suggested a suicidal plan, Kafka argued and she stood beside Roa to help him fighting against the Demon Beast.
(Mora said that A robot in Beiorg killed the original ruler of Beiorg. Assuming that the original ruler of Beiorg is the EX boss of the land, then the machine Roa activated was…)


Griff and co died after their battle against the Demon Lords of Ishgria, leaving Mifa alone. He then wandered alone in Ishgria for years until the next expedition team sent to Ishgria as their attempt to rescue Tilith : Lugina, Karl, Seria, Paris, and Summoner Player, accompanied by Grahdens and Owen.

Currently, from later investigations, the deaths of number 4 to 9 have been confirmed, but only Mifa was unconfirmed.
So holding onto a small glimmer of hope, believing that he would one day return, I removed the records of the expedition team members and their divisions.
- Grahdens -

Warren, meanwhile, after learning what happened to the expedition team, entered the state where “he couldn’t battle anymore”, as mentioned by Grahdens. However, Mifa met Bertz some time before he met Summoner player and co, and Bertz told things that made Mifa blamed Summoners of Old even further.

imageMifa’s current appearance


Captain of the Tenth Division
He was the youngest in the team, and everyone loved him for his looks.
He was cute, following us around.
He was especially attached with Krantz.
I had not initially planned to include him in the expedition, but Krantz strongly argued that he would definitely protect him.
So with the purpose of raising Mifa through Krantz’s mission, I let him in.
Having faith in them, as their power at the time matched even that of ours, We commenced the operation.
- Grahdens -

At first, Mifa appeared in Wulgee, claiming that he will kill Grahdens and Owen. Owen almost hit him if only Grahdens didn’t halt Owen and asked if the barbarian in front of him is Mifa.

Mifa appeared again in Rakshult to tell some parts of the summary of Griff and co’s lores from his POV to Summoner, after Summoner Player defeated him once.
