## History

Allen was an orphan boy that was taken in by a wolf clan couple Nathan and Ellyn who found him during their journey. His adoptive parents always saw him as their son and loved him, he is always thankful to his parents and protective about them, like when he had beaten up the prince when he tried to mock his family and Lydia,

Before he started showing talents in magic he's often being bullied in childhood by other beastfolks children who had looked down on him for having no beast-man traits and the most of the Adults ignored his bullying the bullying got worse after the incident of his childhood friend a Fox clan beastfolks died from protecting her sister from getting run over by a noble's carriage . He often cried to himself due to the bullying something that only known to few like his parents and Deg (an otter beastfolks who he consider like his grandfather).

He started studying magic because of his fasciation to the great Magic from the stories though the more he studied he get disappointed due to discovering that nobody can cast them anymore. As he learned to cast magic he tries to make money using magic but both his attempts failed due to his lack of mana causing him to collapse and Caren got mad at him.at some point during his childhood he discovered his ability to link mana with others after Caren hurts herself and crying so hard that he desperately want to heal her but he can only cast magic that can heal himself at that time due to his desire he unconsciously connected mana with her and healed her. As he studied magic as hard as he could he discovered that court sorcerer is the highest post a spellcaster can aspire to and set up his dream to become one (mainly due to monetary reason) and one day Ogi the chieftain of Wolf clan suggested him to apply to Royal academy and with his parents support he decided to enroll to the Royal Academy.

During the Entrance exam he met Lydia whom he is paired with for practical exam againsts the headmaster of the Royal Academy Lord Rodde who suffered traumatic experience under their hands.He is supposed to be the top student of the Royal Academy but he officially placed in the second place due to the problem of his and Lydia's (who placed second) social status. He is called to Leinster Residence in the Royal Capital after the exam where He met Duchess Lisa Leinster, who asked him what he think of Lydia which he responds by declaring her a genius which touches Lisa as it's the first time anyone outside of her family ever praised and cared for Lydia (considering her status as Linster's cursed child) and she asked him to help her.He later asked Lydia to teach him swordplay in exchange of teaching her magic which she accepted. After this he met Cheryl (who fell in love with him) and Zellbert who become his best friend. During their time in Academy Lydia lost control of her magic which prompts him to link mana with her to control it and after the incident Lydia become able to use magic properly and started firing off supreme spell all the time.

During the summer break of their Royal Academy days Lydia invited Allen to southern capital where he met Lily who got lost and bawling her eyes out, They have adventure together in southern capital and Allen given her hairclips as memento of the occasion.

During their Royal Academy days they become involved in a incident involving Black Dragon where he meet The Hero Alice who proposed to him prompting Lydia to challenge her to a duel which She lost badly causing her to cry afterwards. With Alice's help they barely managed to drive off the black dragon. After that at some point they slayed Four-winged devil, and when He and Lydia are 14 years old they got involved in the incident of Vampire attacks and survived due to the sacrifice of his best friend Zelbert Régnier. And they slayed ancient monster Stinging Seas with Anna's help at some point afterward.

He and Lydia graduated the Royal Academy in one year and enrolled to the Royal University afterwards joining the Professor's Lab and graduated after three years.After They graduated they took the Court Sorcerer Exam (which Allen failed due to Gerhard Gardner ploy) and after he fail he is offered job by the Professor as a Tutor to a Duke's Daughter (Tina).

## Relationship

### Lydia Leinster

His partner and possible love interest. He first met Lydia during the entrance exam of royal academy where he is paired with her for the practical exam. Allen consider Lydia a genius due to her massive amount of mana and initially surprised that she barely able to use any magic (not knowing that she's a cursed child) and When he is brought to Leinster Residence in Royal Capital he agreed to teach her magic in exchange for learning swordplay from her and they've been inseparable since.

At some point during their Royal Academy days Lydia lost control of her magic and Allen used his unique ability to link mana with others to link with her and stabilized her magic.

He seems to be aware that Lydia is in love with him and he admitted to himself that he's quite fond of her though he can't say if it's love or not and He can't see him marrying her at the time due to the difference in their social status. It's pointed out by Caren and Cheryl that He's spoiling Lydia too much which is true considering he followed through most of her whims though both He and Lydia denies it (To Lydia he doesn't spoil her enough).in battles He and Lydia have utmost trust in each other and he shared her believe that as long they're together there are no enemy that they can't overcome.

They also have deep understanding of each other's character where Lydia can usually guess what he's thinking even when they're not linked and Allen knew that despite her strong front and usual attitude Lydia is a very kind girl inside and that she is a crybaby as when He is captured during Algren's revolt one of his first concerns is how Lydia will take the news of his disappearance.

They posed as a couple under the surname "Alvern" during their time in the Water Capital and during her birthday he created a flower garden for her using the 3 great spirits power (Atra,Ria,Lena) in the Old Cathedral of Water Capital.

### Tina Howard

One of his student and the one he considered most talented (he called her a genius which beside her Lydia is the only one he ever called a genius) and he even say that she can potentially surpass Lydia in magic.

Being one of his younger student he is quite protective of her and typically don't want to get her involved in his battles despite knowing her talent and power he relied on her more later due to the enemies getting stronger than what he and Lydia can handle by themselves.

She (along with Stella) is his favorite target to tease (due to how expressive they are) and he didn't (outwardly) praise her very much compared to his other students (especially Ellie) and sometimes even scolded her (due to her using too much power on her magics) which cause her to call him mean.

He most likely aware of Tina's feeling to him but doesn't take her seriously since He still see her as a child.

### Ellie Walker

One of his student. He is usually soft on her often thinking and referring her as angel.

### Caren

His adoptive younger sister. He dotes and pamper Caren calling her the cutest younger sister in the world.

### Stella Howard

One of his student. He helped her overcome her inferiority complex and created a new Supreme Spell and Secret art for her. She is one of his favorite teasing target (along with Tina).
