Arius Squad Logo
The Arius Squad (アリウススクワッド) is one of the School Clubs in Arius Branch School.
Background[]
Before the name Arius Squad exists only a group formerly consisting of three students trying their best to survive the harsh environment that is the Arius Catacombs, which was under the hands of Beatrice, Arius' headmistress. The students in question were Saori, Misaki, and Hiyori. It was thanks to their leader Saori that they were able to last. Originally, Atsuko was supposed to be made as a sacrifice under Beatrice's orders, but Saori made a deal with her, allowing Atsuko's fate to be postponed and giving Saori time to train her. Azusa was incorporated into the team after Saori stopped her from being beaten for disobeying orders. Seeing the five students' capabilities which resulted from Saori's training, Beatrice saw a use for them, hence the beginning of the Arius Squad.
General Information[]
Arius Squad's five members were an elite team formed by Beatrice yet only seen by her as mere pawns ready to be disposed of at any time. They were the team placed in command for the assassination attempt on Seia and the attack during the events of the Eden Treaty Signing. It was also during this time period that Azusa, who was originally assigned as a spy infiltrating Trinity, instead defected and betrayed the Squad after realizing that there was more to life than pointless suffering, leaving a high-intensity conflict between Azusa and Arius' team and infuriating Saori. After their failed attempt in conquering both Gehenna and Trinity, Beatrice deemed them useless and decided to retrieve Atsuko back and initiate the ceremony to sacrifice her while leaving the other three members to perish, accidentally leading them to Sensei's hands.
The Arius Squad lives in exile, unable to return to Arius' campus or enroll with Trinity or any other academy due to their actions.
Due to Beatrice's teachings, all Arius Squad members are nihilistic. All members except Atsuko came from impoverished backgrounds.
