### The Magecraft Academy

## Abilities

### Equipment

Kyouka wields an enchanted whip. She chose the whip because it was easy to carry and she didn't need to get close to the enemy to attack. Since she can't aim, no one can get close to her while she's wielding the whip. In fact, what Kyouka doesn't know is that the power of the whip is suppressed so that Kyouka doesn't cause damage to those around her. The whip was chosen and given by Chiyuki and Kaya. They gave it to Kyouka for self-defence in case of emergency. However, the opponents they had in mind were ordinary Goblins and Orcs. Since Kaya is always by Kyouka's side, she never had to fight. Kyouka used the whip in her first battle against Chichisuki and Munesuki. It was completely useless against the god descending Minotaur brothers.

When Kyouka swings her whip, the enchanted whip emits a pale light that strikes the target. This enchanted whip is for self-defence and does not hurt the target, but only gives it magical pain. Therefore, it did not seem to work for magical creatures.

## Etymology

Her surname **Midou** (美堂?), literally translates as Beautiful Hall. While her first name **Kyouka** (京華?), literally translates as Capital Flower.

## Development

Actually, there is no Kaya with her at the early stage of the draft.
