Personality[]

Tachibana is a patient man, content to wait six months for evidence of Yukihime being Evangeline.[2] He was manipulative and showed that he had no qualms about killing witnesses to capture her, believing that survival of the fittest was what mattered, not anything else.[3] He mocks the concept of love as well.[4]

Plot[]

Introduction Arc[]

Tachibana approaches Touta and his friends and gives them Magic Apps so that they can best Yukihime. When Touta can't use the apps, he gives him to give a bracelet to Yukihime. The next day he waits until they have her bound before attacking them all, severing Touta's arms and telling him how people like him only exist to be preyed upon. When Yukihime defends him, he cuts her to pieces and then stabs Touta a final time. He's knocked out by Touta afterwards before he could kill his friends.

Abilities[]

Enhanced Strength: Tachibana is much stronger than the average person, being able to casually knock out four teenage boys with a single blow each.[5]

Enhanced Speed: Tachibana could blitz Touta Konoe from a distance the moment he was distracted by Yukihime's condition and cut off the teenager's arm before he could react.[6]

Teaching Skills: Tachibana was able to masquerade as a professional teacher for six months without suspicion, and could teach basic magic to a group of teenagers in a short period of time.[2][7]

Magic Abilities[]

Magic: As a bounty hunter, Tachibana utilizes multiple Magic Apps in combat, some of which he gave to unwitting associates in order to set up a trap to kill Yukihime.

  • Bind Ivy (拘束する蔦 (バインド・アイヴィー) Baindo Aivī?): Tachibana bestowed this cutting-edge magic app to Nowa and Tooru Mitsuhashi, allowing them to ensare Yukihime and restrict her movements.[9]
  • Incinerate (焼却 (インシナレイト) Inshinareito?): Tachibana thrusts his hand towards his opponent and sends a blast of fire from a pair of magical circles behind him to burn and incinerate his target.[10]

Fighting Style[]

Swordsmanship: Tachibana could create a long black sword out of dust which he wielded with some skill as he could quickly cut off Touta's arm in a single strike, and when forced to fight against an armed Touta later he could land several cuts in quick succession and cut off his other arm.[11]

Spearmanship: Tachibana could create multiple black spears out of dust to appear in the air around him and send them flying into his target with a flick of his hand.[2]
