Notan is a captivating character who brings a unique perspective to the story. With his unpredictable nature, he can be challenging for his peers to understand, except for Aoiishi. Their relationship has grown into a strong friendship over time, built on mutual trust and respect.

Although Notan may appear to be reckless at times, he is a skilled magician with a natural talent for elemental magic. He is always striving to improve and expand his abilities, and Aoiishi is there to offer support and guidance along the way. Notan's dedication to his craft is matched only by his loyalty to Aoiishi, making them an unstoppable duo both inside and outside the classroom.

Together, Aoiishi and Notan are an integral part of the story, bringing their own unique strengths and challenges to the table.

### Kazuhiro Okabe

Though he may come across as arrogant and hostile towards certain individuals, he has a soft spot for those he considers to be his allies.

Despite finding discomfort in Kazuhiro's attitude towards Marcus, Aoiishi recognizes the importance of building a strong bond with his classmates and strives to maintain a cordial relationship with Kazuhiro.

In the classroom, Kazuhiro's behavior can be off-putting to some, but Aoiishi sees past this and recognizes Kazuhiro's potential as a powerful magician.

### Takipūru Borutekkusu

Takipūru Borutekkusu may be a strict, concentrated, and focused man, but he still values his classmates and has developed a friendship with Aoiishi over the years at Chrono Academy. Alongside Hafuku and Yaseikettei, they discuss ways to improve their magic and study together, with Takipūru pushing Aoiishi to awaken his magical abilities.

However, Takipūru has some doubts about Aoiishi's approach to magic. He shows disgust at Aoiishi's preference for training his physical body instead of working towards awakening his magic more practically. Despite this disagreement, Takipūru still respects Aoiishi and recognizes his determination and dedication to protect Elysian Utopia, even if it's not in the way Takipūru would prefer. Through their friendship, Aoiishi and Takipūru challenge and support each other in their different approaches to magic.

### Hafuku Hazuru

As soon as Aoiishi and Hafuku met, there was an instant spark between them. It was unclear whether it was Aoiishi's amiable and approachable demeanor or Hafuku's general easy-going nature that drew them to each other, but they quickly became good friends.

Aoiishi appreciates Hafuku's relaxed personality, which helps to balance out the intense atmosphere of Chrono Academy.

### Sunōeregansu Rakka

Despite her reserved demeanor, Sunōeregansu Rakka couldn't resist the warmth and kindness radiating from Aoiishi. Slowly but surely, she began to let down her guard and open up to him. One day, she shyly suggested they give each other nicknames as a symbol of their blossoming friendship. Aoiishi readily agreed, and Sunōeregansu bestowed upon him the nickname "Aoi-Chan". In return, she earned the moniker "Sunō-Chan" from him.

Even though she still tended to keep to herself, Sunōeregansu found herself seeking out Aoiishi's company more often. With him, she felt safe to be herself and share her thoughts and feelings. Though she didn't always show it, the bond between them grew stronger with each passing day, and Sunōeregansu knew deep down that she could always count on Aoiishi as a friend.

### Yami Kinstugi

As time passed, Yami and Aoiishi began to bond and develop a friendship, with Aoiishi taking the initiative to understand Yami better and learn more about him. Despite their differences in personality and magic abilities, they found common ground in their shared goal of protecting Elysian Utopia from corrupt forces. Aoiishi even began to defend Yami from Gōmankaze's bullying and attempted attacks.

### Gōmankaze Tsudzuku

Aoiishi's relationship with Gōmankaze is quite tumultuous, to say the least. The two have a mutual dislike for each other, and their interactions have become increasingly violent over time. Gōmankaze, who is considered to be the top student in their class, has a strong belief that magic is everything in their world. He sees those without strong magic or without any magic at all as being worthless trash. As a result, he picks on Aoiishi, who is the only student in their class who doesn't know a single magic spell.

Gōmankaze's hostility towards Aoiishi has escalated to the point where he has used his magic to embarrass and physically harm him, with the intention of killing him and Yami, who is also considered an outcast by Gōmankaze. Witnessing Aoiishi use a taboo ability only fueled Gōmankaze's hatred towards him, as it shattered his perception of the world he and others have believed in for so long. Gōmankaze is plotting his revenge against Aoiishi and Yami, and tensions between the two are at an all-time high.

### Takamasa Ogami

Takamasa is a reserved character in the classroom who often goes unnoticed by his peers. However, Aoiishi is one of the few who makes an effort to reach out and include him in the group. Even though they don't talk much, Aoiishi maintains a friendly attitude towards Takamasa and remembers his name, which speaks volumes about his character.

Despite the lack of interaction between the two, Aoiishi's dislike towards anyone making Takamasa feel insignificant is evident. He once stood up for Takamasa when Takipuru and Hafuku rejected him, showing that he values inclusivity and kindness towards all classmates.

Aoiishi hopes to improve their friendship and build a closer bond with Takamasa, as he believes that no one should feel left out or isolated in the classroom. Despite their differences in personalities, Aoiishi sees the value in getting to know Takamasa better and creating a stronger relationship between them.

### Reina Kenshi

Aoiishi holds one of the highest respect towards Reina Kenshi, with her being his sensei, and holding high regard for him achieving his magical element. Reina has always shown to be one of the few people, who openly believe in Aoiishi accomplishing anything he sets his mind, body, and spirit to. Like with other students, she also acts like a second-hand caring mother towards him, genuinely concerned when he gets hurt or when he puts himself in dangerous situations, caring for his well-being.

### Ichiban Ai

Aoiishi and Ichiban's friendship began when they met at Chrono Academy, where Aoiishi was drawn to Ichiban's impressive ability to understand the intricacies of human emotions, particularly when it came to women. Aoiishi greatly admires Ichiban's confidence and charisma when it comes to interacting with the opposite sex, and often seeks his advice and guidance in matters of the heart.

Despite his initial admiration, Aoiishi soon realized that Ichiban's excessive attention towards women could be seen as problematic by some. However, Aoiishi still values Ichiban's unique perspective and talents, even though he recognizes that Ichiban can be a bit of a bad influence on him at times.

One thing that brings Aoiishi and Ichiban closer together is their shared love of having fun and being goofy. Both of them have a lighthearted and carefree approach to life that often gets them into trouble, but also makes them endearing to those around them.
Although Ichiban's control over his ice magic can be shaky at times, Aoiishi is able to relate to him because of his own struggles with his magic. In fact, Aoiishi sees Ichiban as a sort of mentor in magic, as well as in matters of love and relationships.

All in all, Aoiishi and Ichiban's friendship is an unlikely one, but one that works well due to their shared interests and personalities.
