Background Story

5★	A member of Aldore's elite forces, serving under the emperor himself. Nichol became a member of the Orders as the Epsilon Star. He dons an outfit of black and with his owl aide slips through dark streets, using his wiles to maneuver through the night.
6★	Nichol, clad in an outfit of the Orders. Aldore's designer of military wear created this outfit with the image of "a young, charismatic commander" in mind. The most precise measurements were taken in order to achieve a perfect fit, giving the wearer a flawless silhouette. Despite the care and efforts put into its creation, the designer never got to see Nichol wearing it.
7★	Nichol dons the outfit he was provided with when joining the Orders. It seems that wearing it makes him feel like an actor, and he gestures more pointedly than usual. He is not quite as accustomed to his new look as Sakura is to hers, but as their style goes well together he is not at all reluctant to wear it.

Fusion

5★	I suppose this level is satisfactory for now.
6★	Not bad at all. Please continue at the current rate.
7★	To grant me this power is truly a strategy worth commending.

Awakening

Summon

5★	You seek the strength of a strategist, do you? Very well. Observe strategy with both style and sophistication.
6★	You seek the strength of a strategist, do you? Very well. Observe strategy with both style and sophistication.
