**Leonard**「レオナール *Reonāru*」 is a Top-Grade student at Rosewood Academy, and one of Blade's very first friends.

Eiyū Kyōshitsu Wiki has **4 images** related to Leonard.

## Personality

Leonard seems to be very laid-back and also seems to be very well-composed. He's also quite knowledgeable, as seen with the Magical Armor and him knowing a little about Arnest's cursed sword. Despite that, he also has a rather childish side of him, enjoying teasing people about trivial matters, and looks pretty tolerant, as he can tolerate Blade's simpleminded demeanor.

In the manga remake, he is shown to be a chivalrous gentleman who always compliments Earnest and sometimes other girls. He tends to be sensitive as he's shown to die inside multiple times whether he's insulted or ignored. He tends to get emotional like when he cried when his spear broke twice or when Earnest couldn't stop talking about Blade.

## Relationships

### Blade

Leonard and Blade are very close friends; despite knowing him for a very short period, Leonard is almost always seen accompanying Blade. He also shares his information with Blade and seems quite tolerant of Blade's simpleness.

In the manga remake, he and Blade are friends but they're not close. He questions if Blade is the right person for Earnest only to finally accept that Blade's a better fit for Earnest when he pulls her away from Leonard's sparkles out of jealousy before she succumbed to it.

### Arnest

As the only student not to have succumbed to his charms, Leonard often works as Arnest's personal butler in order to finally get her to notice him, something which, thanks to the help of the other girls, he almost does.

### Lunaria

Despite her appearance, Lunaria has shown zero interest in Leonard, however this did not prevent her from helping him increase his charm in order to seduce Arnest, something that would end up exploding in her face since in the end she and the rest of the girls ended up falling for his charms, although only for a very brief time.

## Plot

### Transfer Student Arc

After class, Leonard goes up to Blade, who has been dozing off the whole time, and comments on both his behavior and his constant repetition of the phrase "I'm Blade", sarcastically asking him if that's his trademark gag. Continuing, he tells Blade that he has caught his interest since he is the first student ever to be transferred to Rosewood Academy and much less after the King's involvement, laughs at the way he addresses the King and proceeds to introduce himself and welcome the young boy to the Academy. After Blade calls him Friend Number 6, a confused Leonard asks him what he means and thus finds out who the other five friends before him are.

Leonard is then mentioned by Blade when Arnest asks him how he knows where her room is, saying that when he talked to Leonard, he told him that she was in the bath.

### Asmodeus Arc

During the tournament the King set up, Leonard is seen fighting Blade. He gets easily knocked out with only one hit. When the latter apologizes to him because he didn't measure his strength, he comments that for someone who knocked everyone out with one hit, he doesn't spare any feelings and that he understands that he has to put everything he's got into it to win his next opponent in the final round. When Blade asks him about his next opponent, Leonard says that his opponent will be the winner of the fight between Sophitia and Arnest and that even though the match isn't over yet, Arnest is most likely going to win because of her sword. He then continues by commenting initially on the sword's immense power and nobility and then on Arnest's finishing move, saying a mere "Here it comes.".

Several days later, Leonard, with Blade at his side, comments on Arnest's sudden change in personality, saying that it's as if she has become a completely different person, or rather a charming chick, noting Blade to her new hairdo. He is shocked when Arnest darts a knife toward Blade, then proceeds to ask Arnest if she changed her hairstyle for Blade, which causes the redhead to blush intensely. Leonard then anxiously listens to Blade's speech about hairdos, Arnest saying that she will take Leonard's suggestion now, fearing the Empress as she unleashes a barrage of knives at the now escaping Blade.

## Power and Abilities

As a Top-Grade Student, Leonard is superior to most, if not all lower grade students. However, despite his power, he was defeated by Blade with a single punch.

## Equipment and Weapons

Leonard uses a drill-like weapon, though little is known about it. It is pretty big and could be equally heavy, indicating that Leonard is a good athlete.

## Trivia

* Arnest is the only girl Leonard has never managed to seduce.
* After a monumental effort, and thanks to Eliza's help, Leonard managed to seduce Lunaria and Jessica for a very short period of time, despite the fact that they were not his main target.
* Thanks to his efforts, the help of Eliza and the rest of the girls, Leonard was about to seduce Arnest, unfortunately Blade's intervention prevented him from achieving his goal. (However, due to this effort, Leonard managed to seduce the entire student body, including the males.)
