Exorcist rank chart

Rank Chart

An Exorcist (祓魔師 (エクソシスト)  Ekusoshisuto) is an individual with the abilities and training to combat Demons. Throughout the history of Assiah, there have been many different groups of Exorcists that protect humanity against these malevolent entities.

Page

Before becoming an Exwire, the individual begins as a Page, learning the most basic elements of exorcism and Demonology. To become an Exwire, a Page must pass the Exwire Authorization Exam. The exam consists of both written tests and a field test, which determines the class' overall combat abilities and teamwork skills.

There are five different classes of Meister in which individual can become qualified.

The rank of an Exorcist is determined by the class and level of demon the exorcist managed to defeat by themselves during the certification exam. The demon's class determining the rank of the exorcist (Upper, Middle, Lower), and its level determining their status (First or Second).[1]
