Lia Scarlet

## History

The young lady of the Scarlet Family, born with the unique but dangerous Scarlet Eyes. Every so often, the power of her eyes goes out of control and raises her bloodlust to psychopathic mass murderer levels. Despite this however, the magical potential of her eyes as a weapon outweighs their risk, so the Scarlet Family locks her up during these episodes and the Adventurers' Bureau sends her weak adventures as sacrifices to sate her bloodlust.

She was an elite student in the Magic Class of Scarlet Academy, and a B Rank Adventurer.

## Plot

### Scarlet Eyes Sacrifice

When Leo Magnus registered for his C-Rank Special Examination, Marden Graves changed it, making him one of Lia's sacrifices, despite the fact that his S-Rank Adventurer potential should disqualify him from becoming one.

Usually Lia kills her victims the moment they see her scarlet eyes and show fear and/or hatred due to her eyes making her look like a vampire. But since Leo has long since befriended Lilith, her eyes don't bother him, as he is friends with a real vampire, so he cannot fear/hate someone who simply resembles one.

However, as her magical energy continues to build up, she eventually looses control and slaughters everyone in sight regardless of whether they offended her or not. But Leo had a solution for this too, using his Mana Drain to take away her magical energy and her bloodlust along with it. To Leo's surprise, this not only prevented her from loosing control, but also gives her intense pleasure.

The more they talk and the more he drains her magic, the more interested she becomes in him, which makes her dangerously overprotective butler Edwin want to kill him. But to his disappointment, she orders him not to harm him. By the time his special examination is complete, she asks him not to leave and to continue working for her, but he refuses.

### Tournament

She originally had bo interest in the tournament until she sensed "Leon's" presence coming for the Four Witches Academy. After witnessing Leo's first match, she instinctually believes its him. Although she doesn't understand why he is hiding his identity, or using Fire Magic, when the Leon she knew had Dark and Wind Magic, the more she watches him fight, the more she believes he is Leon.

She starts participating in her Academy's matches, being the only mage from her academy to go on stage from that point on. She uses her gravity magic to force her opponents to surrender within 3 seconds, threatening to crush them if they don't. All in an attempt to speed up her matches so she can fight Leo sooner.

Before her match with Leo, she tells her fellow student from the Knight Class, Zen Everbleed, to surrender to Leo so she can fight him at his full strength.

Once she is on stage with Leo, she is absolutely certain it is him, because he is unafraid of her and has no problem looking in her eyes. Although Leo refuses to admit the truth, she is determined, and makes a bet with him; if she wins, he will tell her the truth and become hers, but if she loses, she will become his. Leo is pressured by the ref/announcer to get the match started and reluctantly agrees.

Leo ultimately defeated **Lia Scarlet** after the most intense battle of the entire competition, resulting in both of them pulling out their tier 7 cards, when most students don't use above tier 5. After losing Lia asks Leo what he plans to do with her, and he replies the bet wasn't serious and he didn't want her. After she starts crying, he says its not that he doesn't want to be with her, but he doesn't want to be killed by her family. To the surprise of everyone, competitors and audience alike, she kisses him, before saying she doesn't care, and wants to be with him anyways.

### Becoming Partners

To quickly become a B-Rank Adventurer, so he would qualify for Khrome's A-Rank Monster Nest raid, he decided to take a Territory Control Mission in the nearby Tethoris City. To get permission to leave the city as "Leon", Headmistress Eve required he find a strong and trustworthy partner. He chose Lia Scarlet for the following reasons:

* She not only didn't kill him when he was brought to her as a sacrifice, but she protected him from her butler Edwin.
* She already knew of his other identity as "Leon"
* She was already aware of all three magics he could use
* She had not told anyone his secrets, even hiding it from her family
* She had sworn herself to be "his"
* He had her phone number
* Lilith suggested he take her.

After he called her and requested she show up in disguise without telling her family, she did so, appearing as a girl named "Lena". She agreed to help him, but only on the condition that he tell her why he was hiding his identity. To prove her resolve sincerity and trustworthiness, she pulled out a slave contract, that would magically bind her to his will.

However, he refused to take her as his slave, both because he felt it was morally wrong, and because it would anger her family and put his life in danger. She continued to insist, until he told her that he wouldn't have come to her if he didn't trust her, which made her smile happily.

He then told her that Leo Magnus was his real name, while "Leon" was his Adventure identity, which was made for him, so he could train in the Wilderness and grow stronger. He also told her that he was from another world, and to survive in hers, he had to assumed the identity of her world's already deceased Sword Emperor Leo. He explained that he had to eat a fake "Fruit of Magic Awakening" because the other Leo didn't have magic, and that he hid his original two magics, because he didn't want to be connected with his other identity "Leon", who had a bounty on his head. The only two things he didn't tell her about was the existence of Lilith and his system.

Although it was risky telling her that he came from another world, she had already proven her loyalty to him through her willingness to be his slave. Additionally, she revealed that she already knew about the bounty placed on his other identity, which, when added to her family's influence, and her butler Edwin's hatred of him, was already far more than enough information to have him killed if she wanted to.

### Tethoris City

On their journey to the Territory Control Mission, she taught him about the City Teleporter network and paid for their passage. During the mission, she didn't use her magic, so as to hide her identity, instead using a Magic Rifle. Despite her handicap, the two of them were the most destructive force present, easily wiping out B and A Rank Monsters, which resulted in the mission being cleared in less than a week, instead of the weeks it was supposed to take, and leaving a massive impact on the city's adventurers.

The Vice Guild Master of the city's Adventurers' Guild, was so impressed that he invited Leon to join a B-Rank Labyrinth raid, offering to promote him to B-Rank Adventurer if he successfully cleared it.(Although it was later revealed that he was coordinating with Edwin to capture Leon while he was inside the Labyrinth.) "Lena" agreed to follow him, and paid for a hotel they could stay at while they waited for the date of the raid.

When they met the raid team, "Lena" was alarmed, because she recognized their leader, Sarah, who was an A-Rank Poison Mage, that had previously worked for her family. She immediately shared her suspicions that Sarah and the other three members, Oscar, Jasper, and Oliver, might be Assassins sent by her family.

Leo decided to not immediately act, but to be cautious around them until they discovered their true intentions. As it turned out, all four of them really were just there to complete the raid, and had no malicious intent towards Leon. Never-the-less, their caution allowed them to discover and kill the true assassins that really were there to capture him. Lia questioned their leader before killing her, discovering that they were sent by Edwin.

Just before the boss room, they ran into the fifth assassin sent by Edwin, a cruel S-Rank Fire Mage named Matthew Hicks, who killed Oliver just for running up to greet him. He then killed Oliver's vengeful brother Jasper, while Sarah and Oscar ran away, leaving Leo and Lia alone and thus able to fight without holding back, killing Mathew together. They then continued into the boss room and killed the A-Rank Flying Silver Leviathan Boss Monster together, before catching up to the fleeing Sarah and Oscar and exiting the collapsing labyrinth.

After completing the labyrinth, they confronted the Vice Guild Master for sending them into a trap, and Lia threatened him until he revealed to location of Edwin. They then split up, with Lia going to punish Edwin for disobeying her orders and sending people after Leon, while Leo went to claim his reward and and promotion to B-Rank Adventurer. After kicking him across the room, chastising him and cutting off one of his arms, she sent Edwin home, before regrouping with Leon.

When he asked what she wanted as a reward for helping him, she requested a kiss on the lips, which he then gave her, making her the second girl he gave a kiss.

### Skeleton Graveyard

She joined Krome's team along with Leo, Lydia Cross, and Trent Meyer, to raid the A-Rank Monster Nest, Skeleton Graveyard, while again using her pseudonym.

### Four Witches Academy Ancient Labyrinthine

Just before the Ancient Labyrinth under the Four Witches Acadmey opened, she transfered into the school. She then joined Leo's team along with Helia Barnett and Celeste Light, in diving into the labyrinth.
