Haruaki Azuma/Abilities

Azuma was Border's first Sniper. He has mentored countless pupils, not all of whom became Snipers. His skills are such that he can hit moving targets from far away, including ones as small and fast as Hiro Kitazoe's Meteora bullets, and even snipe through multiple walls. The latter feat was accomplished through combining information from Radar, the layout of the building and observational data gathered through the eyes of his teammates, implying Azuma can make such complex calculations and fine adjustments on the spot. However, he rarely does so, since walls tend to alter the trajectory of the shot. He can take aim and switch targets at incredible speed. Furthermore, Azuma is capable of accurately selecting the best Sniper Trigger to cope with a specific situation. Thanks to his ability to fight impassionately, he is one of the only two people in Border not to trigger Kageura's Side Effect.

True to his status as the former leader of an A Class unit, he is widely recognized as an extremely capable strategist and leader, although he is currently instructing his teammates by letting them take decisions largely by themselves. He regularly displayes his analytical abilities in the commentary of rank battles, eliciting the interest of even seasoned and high-ranking fighters like Tachikawa.
