Sentinel

A Sentinel (防人 Sakimori?) is a title given to a young maiden who was once a hero candidate and had the truth about the world beyond the wall revealed to them and were ordered to investigate the outside. On their mission, the 32 girls are to form a single team and carry out surprisingly normal tasks behind the scenes such as taking samples and investigating. Because they might not be able to avoid encounters with the enemy, each one of the girls has a clearly defined offensive or defensive role. The Taisha has them working on a set of missions for the kuni-zukuri ritual.

Abilities

The Sentinels are all ranked by capability with a number. The eight weakest members in the eyes of the Taisha uphold the position of a defender, armed with a massive shield. The twenty four after that uphold the position of a gunner armed with a bayonetted weapon. The eight after that are deemed the officers armed with an enhanced version of the bayonetted gun with number one being the commander. They all receive immense training before going onto their first mission. In terms of weaponry and powers, they are weaker than the NoWaYu Heroes, except Mebuki and SHIZUKU are able to combat some of those slightly combined vertexes due to their better skill and technique. Their armor is stronger than the heroes' however being needed to withstand the World of Flames.

Battle suits (Ikusa-ginu) are the mass production-type fighting clothes that the 32 people of Mebuki's investigation squad were given. It's an extremely versatile system that can be worn by non-heroes but doesn't come with fairies. The basic version includes a gun with bayonet, while the large shield is reserved for girls who are in charge of defense only. Identification numbers are written on the neck and the left shoulder, and only the eight most outstanding candidates, including Mebuki as number 1, are granted commander-type equipment with horns.

History

The kuni-zukuri project was a new project created by the Taisha in the year 300 DE alongside the hero project. The Taisha brought back all of its rejected hero candidates to Kagawa's Gold Tower to uphold the position of a sentinel. They were free to leave whenever needed but were expendable quickly.

Near the end of the light-novel, it was stated they would all be recognized as Heroes.

Flower Motif

It is presumed that all sentinels share the same flower theme. While not confirmed, it is believed to be the Shepherd's Purse, as it's meaning is "I offer all of me to you".
