A third-year student of Hagun Academy and the daughter of a famous swordsman named Kaito Ayatsuji. Ayase approached Ikki and asked for his guidance to improve her swordsmanship. Two years prior to the current story, Kaito fought against Kuraudo, a Blazer from Tonrou Academy, with Kaito's dojo on the line and ended up in a coma, with the dojo being taken over by Kuraudo. After this event, Ayase constantly challenged Kuraudo but to no avail and hopes to enter the Seven Star Sword Art Festival to have a chance to get the dojo back. (Source: Wikipedia)
