An heir to a rich family and Student Council President. He, along with Hiruda, was transported to End Earth before the other main characters. When he first encountered his old friends in End Earth, he was revealed to be an enemy. He became the Emperor of Baelgard, and goes by the name &quot;Traihard&quot;.   Like Souma and Kiriya, he is also a Soul Blader, and chooses to draw swords from Baelgard&#039;s four guardians, which includes Reia Hiruda. Seeing Soul Bladers as &quot;chosen ones&quot;, he offers Kiriya and Souma to join him in his crusade. Saionji plans to conquer all of End Earth, under the pretense that he is actually &quot;saving&quot; it from darkness. His plans, however, were thwarted by Killrain&#039;s release of dark energy.

Mysterious disappearances are occurring one after the other in Tatsumi Town. Kiriya has a vision from a mysterious beautiful girl with pointy ears. A book talking for an alternative world is found. And Mao searching for her long lost friend, Zero, comes to our world. But what she didn&rsquo;t expect is to find Souma and Kureha, and even less, to accidentally take them to her world. Now, Souma and Kureha have to find a way to come back. But other forces are playing their part in the darkness and Souma with Kureha will find that going back is harder than they first anticipated.
