Character
A tough-looking but ordinary high school boy. He is summoned to another world by the Crusaders and undergoes harsh human experiments at the mysterious facility "White Sacrament". During the experiment, he had a "thought control device (Angel Ring)" put on his head and was deprived of his free will, and was called "Experimental Subject No. 49". His experiments greatly increased his physical abilities and gave him a power called "black magic". He also created a variety of magic because he was forced to kill monsters and test subjects in the same situation at the facility.

During the battle, he imagines modern society's weapons such as "anti-material", "rifle" and "pile bunker", and uses them by reproducing them with black magic. Black magic can also store objects in shadows and control cursed weapons. For this reason, after obtaining the cursed hatchet "Tsujigiri", he used black magic to suppress the curse of the Machete and has been using it habitually. After escaping from the facility, he meets Lily and lives with her. Since Lily was unable to pronounce her own name, Mao Kurono, she began to call herself "Kurono" so that Lily could easily call her. He lived peacefully with his comrades in the village of Irz near Lily's house, but when the Crusaders raided the village and wiped it out, he swore revenge on them.

Abilities
【Kurono Traits】


 * As a result of Kurono being experimented upon by the White Sacrament for a long period of time which includes being injected with various drugs and his whole body being completely restructured, Kurono possesses unusually immense physical prowess surpassing ordinary humans and is comparable to mid-ranking monsters. Though, he stated that his modified body's physical abilities are levels below Vulcan, who is a Werewolf Rank 4 Adventurer.
 * Enhanced Strength: During the first maneuvering experiments, Kurono showed enough physical strength to put cracks on a light golem with each hit using his bare hands and later on, throw Lily in her child form atop Daedalus' walls at immense speed into the forest that is at least more than 500 meters away from the walls. He was even shown to be capable of dexterously lifting a huge broadsword and great sword using one hand each.
 * Enhanced Durability: During the first maneuvering experiments, Kurono showed enough physical durability to take multiple full-powered hits from the light golem who possess an equal amount of physical strength to him at the time, only feeling pain and not receiving any life-threatening injuries. Kurono has also shown to be durable enough to survive and still run despite being impaled by Sariel using stakes made from white magic in his left thigh, right shoulder, and abdomen, and later on being impaled by said stakes again in his back 5 times as a counter attack when he tried attacking her again. He was also shown to be unscathed when falling from a cave in a mountain albeit his fall was somewhat mitigated by Lily and the trees underneath, though the ground sunk a little from the weight of his fall.
 * Enhanced Stamina & Pain Tolerance: Due to the various bodily modifications he received because of the Holy Soldier Project, Kurono possess far greater stamina than an average human and high pain tolerance. He can go for days without rest or sleep, but he still retains the need to eat and experiences hunger. He was also shown to be extremely resistant to pain, being capable of still running away from Sariel despite being impaled 8 times and only showing pain at the moment he received an attack.
 * Enhanced Speed: Kurono has shown to be capable of dodging several magic bullets from close-range and running over 500 meters quickly. His full running speed was stated to be comparable to ordinary humans using Support Magic or Martial Arts. Fiona thinks that Kurono's body modifications sets his body to automatically use the Martial Art, Air Walker to enhance his speed.
 * Heightened Senses: Due to the various combat experiences he gained because of the maneuvering experiments, Kurono gained something similar to a sixth sense which allowed him to sense danger and bloodlust and vaguely tell how strong is his opponent. He was even shown to vaguely sense Sariel beyond the staircase before she appeared in front of him and notice how dangerous she is despite her appearance.
