Iscariot

Iscariot (Gospel Seekers) ( 福音探究会（イシュ・カリオテ） Ishu Kariote), is a force opposing the Magic King, and seeks to prevent him from destroying the world.

History
The group is assumed to have been responsible for the destruction of Royal Liber Academy and appears to have several of its former students and staff in their ranks; it is unknown if this means the group members infiltrated the school, or in fact if members of said school founded the group.

The group later assaults Royal Biblia Academy, seeking to kill the Trinity Seven and prevent the Magic King from subjugating them, as per his destiny. They, however, failed this mission, losing Lugh and suffering Hijiri's defeat.

Lugh later manages to scurry away from Biblia's mages, and returns to Iscariot, she then enters into the mage's tournament held by Biblia Academy alongside Hijiri.

Trivia
