 * Silver - a cynical and focused monster slayer who wants to prove himself as the best, reluctantly being convinced by Kai to join him due to Kai needing partners to help him train. He wields a blade and is extremely agile.
 * Cora - a rather bubbly snake-like monster girl who wants to train herself to be the best, encountering Kai and becoming a more friendly rival to him, wanting to train herself to be hopefully as strong as him, using her tail as a weapon.
 * Shard - a small flying furry monster who despite refusing to fight, is a skilled medic, having been the Monster King's medic as he decides to join Kai so he doesn't get too hurt in his quest.
