Black Crown

Black Crown is the guild of mages focused on in the Highschool Project series. It was first created when Amber Lucifer, the Princess of the Underworld, decided to permanently move to the mortal world in 2019, with its first members being her and the reincarnated devils that had been placed under her care.

Below is a list of all members and past members; their status as of the end of the series; their zodiac sign; their primary form of magic; and their classification as a mage.

## Plot Overview

**Book 1, God-Slayer:** Black Crown is the guild that Zane Jackson, the main protagonist and a recently reincarnated devil, is placed under. Throughout the course of the series they deal with minor missions until their first big one: attempting to find and retrieve the Secret of God.

Later, they're sent out into war against the Alliance — Heaven and the fallen angels — which results in the death of two of their members.

**Book 2, The Dragon-King Alliance:** Black Crown competes in the Annual Mage Tournament, with a total of seven members — five permanent members and two temporary members — where they hope to claim the title of the strongest guild, and earn a powerful artifact that can resurrect the dead.

Later, alongside the Dragon-King Alliance, they go into battle against Dragon Claw in an attempt to stop them from opening a portal to the Absit Lands, which would result in the invasion of thousands of dragons.
