— Axle Strider

**Fritz** (フリッツ *Furittsu*), otherwise known more commonly as **Axle Strider** (アクスルストライダー() *Akusuru Sutoraidā*), is a former S-Class Mage from Fox Tail and the 12th prince of the Strider Family, standing as the youngest memeber. Well-known in the country by its people as an accomplished Celestial Spirit Mage, he is among one of the strongest Mages and martial artists in the continent, earning his position among the Ten Wizard Saints and garnering the nickname as the **Tiger of Ishgar** (イシュガルの虎(天地を喰らう虎とな), *Ishugaru no Tora*) for his unparaled fighting abilities and ferociousness.

## Appearance

Relatively tall individual, Axle stands over 6 feet tall, easily hovering over most people he meets with his stature. A rather handsome individual, Axle has a calm and simple demeanor,  keeping a mild expression on his face that tends to pass him off as an ordinary person, despite being a wizard, allowing him to blend into a crowd of people. In contrast to his plain appearance, Axle possesses a rather muscular build for his figure, mostly hidden behind his clothes, maintaining a lean build that focuses more on maintaining his overall shape rather than draw attention with bulky muscles. Rendering him rather plain looking, Axle has black hair, keeping it rather outgrown around his neck, sloppily cut and trimmed across his face. In similar fashion, he has dark brown eyes that match his choice of clothes. Consisting all-black attire, Axle uses what bears a strong resemblance to a priest; made up of a collared shirt that is buttoned along his neck, wearing a white dress shirt underneath it that protrudes from his wrists. Using black pants with a dark brown belt, being held in place with a golden buckle.

Pairing his suit together is mostly black shoes and a necklace that consists of a golden cross tied around his neck with a brown string. Underneath his jacket's lower front flaps, Axle carries a leather keychain bag containing his Celestial Spirit Gate Keys, keeping them hidden from sight more so to keep his magic a secret from potential enemies. After his promotion to Wizard Saint in X944, Axle now dons a large blue trenchcoat to resemble the Magic Council's colors, as well as replacing his old necklace for one sporting the insignia of his new title around his neck.

## Personality

Due to his unique upbringing and specific conditioning from a young age, Axle was born with more magic than his body was capable of containing, often leading to episodes in which he would burn through the excess energy through physical activity, eventually resulting in him simply fighting or crushing whatever he could get his hands on in order to calm himself down. Over the years, this mentality deteriorated and got progressively worse, to the point where Axle began to display psychotic tendencies as the rest of his personality began to adopt these changes, creating an entirely new ego that appears whenever Axle becomes too riled up, often using breathing techniques to stop himself from changing personalities. For the majority of the time, Axle can always feel when the change is going to occur and stop them before they have time to manifest, characterized by chest pain, grabbing at his chest which often has him complaining nonchalantly, often giving people the impression that he's having a heart attack before progressing into increased headaches, labored breathing, then ultimately blacking out.

While in this state of mind, his eyes become bloodshot, almost glowing from the rise in magic, as he often remarks to himself as being "*the real Axle Strider*", going from an honorable fighter to bloodthirsty beast, letting his natural instincts take over by overshadowing whatever logic or reason he would have in a given situation by going so far as to fight and attack allies when given the opportunity, unable to distinguish between friend or foe. Becoming much more prone to violent behavior, Axle adopts a sadistic outlook in the way he wields his abilities, not afraid to throw his power around people for his own amusement, he is hardly satisfied until having found someone to fight to his heart's delight, doing so until running out of steam or ultimately killing opponent in question and moving on. Creating a tremendous mental instability, his mood can often flip back and forth between cruel fighter to mindless berserker on the flip of a dime, with his lust for battle being on the forefront for whatever he does.

## Magic and Abilities

**Celestial Spirit Magic** (星霊魔法, *Seirei Mahō*): A Holder Magic that enables the user to contract entities known as Celestial Spirits and summon them through either Silver or Gold Keys. Inheriting most of his keys from his grandfather, Axle was personally mentored in the use of this magic by members of his family, particularly his grandfather Friedrich Strider, all specializing in its use for countless generations against his will, developing it for several years into his career as mage, eventually collecting the keys as a form of training as he wanders around Earth Land. Given his physical prowess and martial skill, Axle uses his Celestial Spirits sparingly, only in situations if his abilities are ill-equipped to to handle or are incompatible with his magic, mores o on the basis of not wanting to bother them over trivial matters. As of this his most current exploits, Axle has five keys in his possession. He has two gold keys, capable of summoning Taurus and Leo, and three silver keys; Scutum, Perseus, and Hercules. Particularly talented in its use, Axle can alternate between spirits in quick succession, often skipping the incantations or abbreviating it to summon the next spirit in battle while on the move.

As of particular note, due to Axle's unique circumstances and upbringing, the Celestial Spirits under his command are abnormally more aggressive and battle ready than their traditional counterparts, with the most evident change in Taurus, changing from a bull to a human man, with a very confrontational personality.

* **Force Gate Closure** (強制閉門 *Kyōsē Hēmon*): Axle is able to force the gate of a Celestial Spirit to close against their will, prompting them to return to the Celestial Spirit World. Mostly done so in order to reduce the number of combatants his opponents has to face, it serves to allow Axle to take part in one-on-one battles. More importantly, should his Celestial Spirits become compromised, either through mind control or outside interference, Axle can quickly dispatch them from his vicinity.
* **Multiple Summons**: With his level of magic and experience, Axle is able to summon up to two spirits at the same time without suffering too much drain, enabling to fight numerous opponents.
* **Urano Metria** (ウラノ・メトリア *Urano Metoria*): Axle recites the incantation, the 88 constellations of the sky come down as spheres and bestow their power upon on him, and then aims it at his intended target releasing the energy gathered into a tremendous attack.
* **Star Dress** (星霊衣(スタードレス) *Sutā Doresu*): A Celestial Spirit Magic spell in which Axle incorporates the power of a Celestial Spirit into her body by placing the key of the Spirit in question on his chest. The power manifests itself in the form of a wardrobe change (similar to Requip), in this case in the form of a dress centered around the Spirit in question's own wardrobe. However, due to his penchant for battle, his dress transforms into something more practical for fighting, taking the form of suits of armor that support his martial style. Unlike other mages, rather than rely solely on their magic to attack and defend, they function more to support his already established abilities even further, mixing them together for entirely new spells, serving in similar fashion to a Unison Raid.

**Star Dress: Taurus Form** (タウロスフォーム *Taurosu Fōmu*) is one of several forms of the Star Dress Spell. When activated, Axle dons a suit of armor of extraordinary bulk, increasing his height slightly. Consisting of a multi-sectional piece of metal, with large shoulder pauldrons and a large red jewel at the center, and horns around his neck, it follows a yellow and black color scheme similarly to Taurus’ clothes, with his zodiac sign carved on the center. In addition, Axle inherits his sword, enlarging and altering its shape for better use in this form, transforming from a simple matador sword into a massive broadsword that acts and moves on his command, able to fly through the air or return to his hand with a simple gesture. While in use, Axle fully incorporates all of Taurus’s abilities and magical power, adopting the Celestial Spirit’s incredible strength and durability into his own body, freely able to use them in conjunction with his own spells for devastating effect.

**Star Dress: Leo Form** (レオフォーム *Reo Fōmu*) is one of several forms of the Star Dress Spell. While in this form, Axle dons a sinister-looking black suit of armor that fits his exact stature, emanating black flames between the joints and open spaces. Consisting of various sharp edges and spikes protruding from his helmet, shoulders, and ribs, his chest pieces sport a ruby with metallic horns stretching from both directions, illustrating Leo’s zodiac sign. With several tail-fins attached with jagged metal tips hanging from his back and chest, his fists carry exceptionally well-guarded plates and sharp tipped finger tips to emphasize clawing and scratching, reminiscent of a lion. Although much more simplistic and smaller in design to the other Star Dresses, his Leo Form boasts the most destructive power among his zodiac keys, applying Leona’s magic to his own style of combat. While in this state, Axle has access to Dark Regulus’s black flames, passively producing them from his person and naturally absorbing any light in his close proximity to fan the flames more intensely. Combined with his dexterity, Axle can manipulate the shape and form of the flames in a much more complex manner with the aid of Leona, using the flames in similar fashion to Molding Magic. As an advantage, every attack or source of contact he makes allows to inflict burns due to the extreme heat his armor emits from the constant activation of flames he uses. Mostly done by adding the properties of fire on his martial art techniques, they enable him to swallow up light and other light based magic abilities in order to strengthen himself.
* **Immense Speed**: In response to his increased abilities, relatively in part to the unique mixture between his own magic, his speed receives a further boost along with his movement, making him much faster than he would naturally be or achieve in his normal state, to the degree that he can vanish in an instant, leaving behind traces of flames. Mostly used to rush his opponent, the number of attacks he can deliver in quick succession enables him to throw a rapid flurry of blows in-between blows in nearly an instant. Achieved by igniting the air thanks in part to Dark Regulus, Axle uses the flames to propel himself forward, serving in similar fashion to a rocket engine, unleashing full bursts in small volumes in order to maximize power.

**Star Dress: Gemini Form** (ジェミニフォーム *Jemini Fōmu*)

**Gottfried** (ゴットフリート *Gottofurīto*): A Caster Magic and variation of Celestial Spirit Magic that forms a strong aura beam.

**Fighting Magic** (魔法の戦い(気負い), *Mahō no Tatakai*; lit. *"Fighter's Spirit"*): As a master of its use, Axle utilizes his magic to enhance his physical performance in tandem with hand-to-hand combat. Fighting Magic, as the name suggests, is a rather simple magic art that allows the caster to increase the physical properties of their bodies and whatever they hold. Fighting Magic's main purpose is to increase the volume of magic the user can expel per every physical attack fired from their body, transforming a single punch into an overwhelmingly powerful blow. Applying it with his natural affinity for martial arts, Axle has weaponized most of his techniques to use magic, fusing most kung fu moves that he's mastered with magic power to produce attacks that would . Combining Fighting Magic's capacity to enhance the physical and magical traits of its user with the 72 Shaolin Techniques of body strengthening he learned, Axle has been able to bring out very best out of both his natural talent and ability to fight to extraordinary levels, creating spells inspired from the sum of knowledge in terms of hand-to-hand combat.

Used a myriad of ways, Axle most commonly uses it enhance certain characteristics of his body to give him an edge in battle rather than outright use concentrated blasts of magic energy, achieving superhuman feats to attack. This is achieved by simply strengthening his power to send high-pressured air in the form of punches or kicks at his opponent, or simply igniting the air from the sheer velocity he moves by augmenting his speed. When taken even further, he could go so far as to manipulate and alter the properties of his own body, from most simply hardening it to withstand incoming attacks, to more complex applications such as reducing his muscle mass to make himself lighter, or outright reducing his natural durability to the point where his bones become soft like rubber. When transferring his magic unto an object, it comes more akin to Holder Magic, treating whatever he touches or holds onto in similar fashion to a Magic Item, magically charging it, thus allowing it to interact with other magical materials or sources that would under normal circumstances destroy them. The length of charge an object has is dependent on the amount he used to fill it with, able to adopt the very same alterations he makes to his own body in the process.

When the occasion does call for Axle to take things more seriously, often needing him to become much more involved in battle, his magic takes on a much more proactive approach, incorporating his martial arts and creating spells based on attacks or movement to suit his needs. This often takes the shape of Axle using his animal style martial arts and supercharging their techniques with magic, achieving feats that far outpace their original intended use; from creating ethereal creatures that attack from a distance, to adopting the specific traits of weapons. As a magical ability whose main function serves to improve and bolster his natural strength and expand on his techniques, Axle's singlemost greatest talent is the unique method of combining his various punches and attacks together in different combinations, adding the effects of one to another for devesatating effect. By taking advantage of other parts of his body, Axle can alos use his spells by firing them from other regions aside from his hands, such as his legs and feet to name a few.

* **Iron Drive** (アイアンドライブ *Aian Doraibu*): Drawing from the 9th shaolin technique of "Iron Shirt", Axle uses his magic to harden the internal and external structure of his body to their absolute max, achieving organic armor with tremendous defensive and offensive capabilities. While active, the affected regions of his body darken and gain a brilliant sheen akin to polished steel, hardening and compressing himself to withstand conditions his normal body would be incapable of, achieving feats of superhuman proportions. While active, Axle can crush solid steel with his bare hands, and punch through stone with the most minimal of effort on his part, enabling him to push his muscles even further without the fear of tearing them from overexertion, thus giving him a significant boost in strength as well. Axle can handle substances or objects that would normally hurt him to the touch, such as withstanding slashes from swords, fire from a roaring flames of the magical variety, or extreme environmental hazards.
	+ **Diamond Drive** (ダイヤモンドドライブ *Daiyamondo Doraibu*): A revised version of Iron Shell in which Axle boosts the spell's capabilities even further, causing not just his body to harden, but compresses his muscles to their absolute limit, using his magic to manipulate the sheer size and mass they have by having them expand and contract, shrinking them several times smaller than what they normally are. While in this state, Axle's physique and appearance change drastically, transforming his muscular build into an anorexic slim body with the bare amount of what used to be his muscle attached to his bones. His muscles in particular go from darkening to becoming akin to the bright splendor of jewels, the texture of his skin now resembling the crown of a gem. On the inside however, the sheer energy and power compressed in this form dwarfs whatever advantage he would gain otherwise from his other spells, pushing his defense and attack power to their maximum possible threshold. While active, Axle can sustain attacks that he would have previously been unable to, making every attack a guaranteed critical move, while greatly enhancing his other spells by applying this form's unique properties on top of them. It should be noted however, Axle can't maintain this spell for very long, as the process causes injures and puts a great strain on his body, ripping his muscles overtime and breaking his bones, inevitably crushing them from the pressure applied to them, only limiting himself to strictly fighting in this state for 5 minutes in order to remain in a healthy enough state to continue fighting.
* **Soft Drive** (ソフトドライブ *Sofuto Doraibu*): Drawing from the 32nd shaolin technique of the "Art of Soft Bones", Axle can soften his natural durability and sturdiness to such an extent that his bones becomes akin to cotton or wool, allowing flexibility to all of his joints. Although rendering him more susceptible to broader attacks, Axle makes up for it with decreasing the damage of any incoming impact or blunt trauma in the form of punches or projectiles, his body able to bend and contract to cushion the blow.
* **Jet Drive** (ジェットドライブ *Jetto Doraibu*): Drawing from the 43rd and 46th shaolin techniques of the "Skill of jumps" and "Skill of Overjumping", Axle strengthens the power in his legs with his magic to allow him to bring out the fell extent of his leg’s power, becoming lighter to the point of moving at blinding speeds, vanishing in mere instances, leaving behind afterimages. Used to bolster his natural movement and jumping, Axle can dart around
* **Air Drive** (エアドライブ *Ea Doraibu*):
* **Heat Drive** (ヒートドライブ *Hīto Doraibu*):
* **Overdrive** (オーバードライブ *Ōbādoraibu*):

* **Tiger Bite Fang Fist** (虎噛み牙拳(土裂獣陰王) *Tora Kami Kiba Ken*; lit. *"Earth Rending Beast King of Yin"*): Axle engulfs his right hand with a large amount of magic that gives off the illusion of fire while he punches them with his fingers curled in to resemble a tiger's fangs.
* **Dragon Claw Jewel Fist** (龍珠爪拳(天翔ける獣 陽の王)*Ryūshu Tsume Ken*; lit. *"Heaven Soaring Beast King of Yang"*):
* **Snake Branch Venom Fist** (蛇枝毒拳(八つ裂き草薙)*Hebi Eda Dokuken*; lit. *"Eight-Fold Slash Kusanagi"*):
* **Crane Spear Divine Pierce** (鶴槍神貫 Tsuru Yari Kaminuki(スカイタイラントのヘルランススラスト); lit. *"Sky Tyrant's Hell Lance Thrust"*): A special attack that has Axle fold in his fingers on top of one another to form a spear-hand gesture to attack, applying a magic-powered Nukite to skewer his target barehanded. An attack that reseambles the long beak from a crane, the power channeled into this thrust if focused solely on piercing power, with the vast majority of its strength dedicated to beakthrough defense-orineted spells or armor and attack the target in one fell swoop. At its most powerful, Axle can strike using only a single finger to act as his spear, redirecting all his magic into a singualr point to impale with the same ridge as a needle. By projecting his magic outward, the Crane Speak become akin to a javelin he can hurl from afar, creating a construct from the magic gathered in his hand and eshaping it into a tangible object he can hold.
* **Leopard Step Beast Walking** (ヒョウステップビーストウォーキング(ビーストカウルマニホールド) *Hyou Suteppu Bīsutou~ōkingu*; lit. *"Beast Cowl Manifold"*): Axle coats his entire body with Magic in the form of an ethereal leopard, allowing him to move at an increadible rate on all fours, attacking his opponent at high speed. Funtioning as both armor and an accelerant, Axle's nails and teeth grow to reseable a beast, with the aura most concentrated around his feet and hands, developing aural claws and a tail as a result. Because of the erratic movement and aggressive manner he handles himself being akin to wild animal, predeicting his trjectory becomes more difficult the longer he remains active, building up speed and momentum to move faster while clawing and biting his opponent overtime.
* **Gold-Banded Staff Wukong** (金縞杖ウーコン(猿王の思いのままの柱) *Kinjima Tsue Ūkon*; lit. *"Monkey King's As-You-Will Pillar"*): Clapping both hands together, Axle separates them both to create a golden staff composed of extremely dense ethernano that's been reinforced and strengthened to serve as a melee weapon, the size and mass adjustable by the types of enhancements he applies to it with Fighting Magic. Serving as a multi-faceted tool for battle, its main purpose is to control the distance between himself and his opponent by attacking from mid to long-range, extending and retracting the staff in quick succession. Because of the highly concentrated magic compressed into a slender form, the staff is incredibly durable, in the same class as other magical items in the form of weapons or tools, able to endure immense duress without shattering. As a very malleable construct, Axle can also shrink or expand the size it has to gargantuar levels, from the size of a stick to something as large as a building, able to handle and maneuver it with ease. Not limited to a single staff, Axle can create various at the same time, able to change shape and transform into other shapes other objects that suit his needs by simply using his hands or another item as a conduit, most commonly done by using his own strands of hair as the catalyst to clone more. While active, the staffs hover around Axle and move based on simple gestures through the air, following commands from a distance.
* **Swallow Reversal Quickdraw Fist** (燕返し居合道拳 *Tsubamegaeshi Iai Ken*): A unique punch that combines two sword techniques, Iaido and the Tsubame Gaeshi, it allows Axle to send his punches flying from a distance by jabbing the air in an instance, emphasizing his ability to quickly draw his hand to form a fist and responding to sudden attacks with an even faster counter. Regarded as his fastest punch, the movement of his hand during use almost appears invisible from the rapid motion, not eliciting any movement at a first glance to the untrained eye. It is one of the few techniques that functions as both a projectile from afar and a close-range attack that he can use at a moment's notice up close. When fired from range, it takes on the form of a beam of light that moves at substantial speeds through the air. What differentiates it from his other techniques is its ability to alter its movements during its attack, drawing on the Tsubame Gaeshi aspect of his punch. Should the initial strike fail to connect or is avoided, his punch retraces its path back for a second attack at lightning speed from his opponent's blind spot, similarly to a swallow reversing direction mid-flight, making it difficult to defend or dodge.
* **Spring Lotus One-Inch Punch** (紅蓮のワンインチパンチ *Guren no Wan'inchi Panchi*): Clenching his hand into a fist, Axle gathers a large volume of magic and attacks his opponent, the energy gathered takes the form of a lotus blossoming at the point when he makes contact with his target in the form of a One-Inch Punch. A punch that has the highest amount of destructive power he can transmit it in an instant with the most minimal movements required, it is a technique that he can use at close-range. Its greatest advantage is its ability to allow Axle to ignore the need to prepare or initiate his attack ahead of time, allowing him to deal out a punishing blow even while almost touching his target that holds the full scope of his physical power and body weight into a single point. By applying Fa Jin, the energy expelled is internalized by his opponent, seeping through the point of contact and spreading out inside, destroying everything underneath. With the two combined, his punch can bypass the physical and magical defense of his opponent, damaging the insides without so much as scratching the surface area he comes into contact with.
* **Turtle Hermit Knuckle Crushing Shell** (亀仙人 ナックル クラッシング シェル *Kame Nen'nin Nakkuru Kurasshingu Sheru*):
* **Evil Wind Crossfang Hurricane** (邪風のクロスファングハリケーン, *Jafū no kurosufangu Harikēn*):
* **Axle Chop** (アクスルチョップ *Akusuru Choppu*): Axle's take on a traditional karate chop, he folds his finger inward while stretching out his fingers to form the blade, lunging down to strike at his target with a powerful strike.

    **Majin Mode** ():

**Thought Projection** (思念体 Shinentai): After his promotion, Axle learned how to project his physical appearance over long distances in order to facilitate his ability to appear in meetings or communicate over long distances without leaving his current location, being intangible in nature and impervious to any attacks.

**Telepathy** (念話(テレパシー)): Axle has been shown to communicate with people and his Celestial Spirits telepathically with this Magic.

**Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: Extremely proficient at martial arts, Axle uses a unique iteration of Kung Fu that he developed while adopted into the school of shaolin monks as a child, incorporating several styles of animal style martial arts in the form of Bando and Xingyiquan, encompassing the Five Animal Forms to diversify his method of attack by drawing inspiration from the numerous beasts he emulates when he fights, applying the philosophy of Wuxing to strengthen his techniques and separate them into five distinct categories. Well coordinated in his execution of various techniques, he can quickly alternate between numerous fighting stances while combining others to produce entirely new attacks on the fly, coming naturally to him due in part to his experience when facing other opponents. It is thanks to this that he has grown adept at reading the moves of other fighters, analyzing the smallest of details from simple breathing, to the footwork being employed from different disciplines. Fighting by employing a combination of hard and soft techniques, Axle switches between hard and vicious striking to building a stern defense by employing counters redirections to manage armed opponents or those that are physically stronger than him, controlling the flow of power to maintain them at a distance for a quick counter. When on the offensive, almost of his attacks encompass explosive power in quick bursts, switching between defense and offense on the fly, saving his magic when he requires it to might other wizards or magical creatures, almost always sticking to standard hand-to-hand combat.

Utilizing a complex sequence of footwork, Axle darts around his opponent, using the most minimal moves without wasting energy on overly complex evasions, always keeping himself within striking distance. Thanks in part to the Five Animal Forms, he incorporates the movements of various animals as well, if need be, racing to his opponent on all fours, or moving nimbly across buildings or objects with the dexterity of monkeys. With animal style movement added to his natural speed and reflexes, Axle dodges or evades attacks with extreme finesse, often performing acrobatics with his quick reaction time, delivering a counter from a few steps in a single moment's notice. These factors are only strengthened further thanks to Axle applying the use of magic to bolster attacks while adding unto his techniques, achieving feats that would label him superhuman in terms of martial art prowess. As a result, Axle can use moves or attacks in ways that would naturally be impossible to achieve, using his magic to increase the range or overall force it would have to bolster the natural result it would achieve when the hit connects, be for internal or external damage. Using this method to his advantage, Axle has been able to imitate and perfect techniques he sees at first glance, replicating them by simply watching how they are performed by glancing in the way the practitioner breathes, moves, and attacks with it through a combination of muscle memory and experience, using his body to memorize it and incorporating it into his own style and magic if the move in question requires its use.

This is further reinforced by the addition of his Fighting Magic, a type of Caster Magic focused solely on enhancing the physical and magical traits of its user to the point where he can imitate various weapons, but in his case, animals to the point of achieving similar characteristics in the way they fight and survive. By using his magic to increase the natural sharpness of his fingers and strengthening their durability, Axle can effectively create claws from his fingertips, better enabling him to bring out the full extent of Tiger Style Kung Fu thanks to the increase with the tearing, clawing and grasping applications involved in this style. Not simply focused on attack, defensive and evasive technique benefit from this as well, such as bolstering his natural reflexes or jumping ability to increase the acrobatic styles of martial arts like that of Monkey Style Kung Fu. With the added use of Wuxing, Axle created a baseline in which he could divide all of his styles into five different forms, reinforcing the core of his abilities designate creating different directions and angles for him to attack, while at the same time adopting different positions to fit different types of footwork patterns, maintaining his balance focused either forward, backward, to the left or right, or centered, keeping his distance within three steps forward to attack and two steps back to retreat if need be.

In order to deliver on his part the most out of each punch, he always takes a breathe in-between attacks, becoming a habit that even extends to his magic. Made possible by applying Qigong, Axle uses it to draw out the most power he can from his muscles in short intervals through breathing techniques, gathering as much potential energy through by achieving a calm meditative state of mind, enabling him to push his body even further without any restrictions.

**Expert Weapons Specialist**: Although not as well-versed in the same manner as hand-to-hand combat, Axle does have some formal training with various weapons ranging from staffs to numerous types of swords, enough to defend himself against another swordsman of similar or slightly above his level. Best shown when handling the weapons from his Celestial Spirits, including projectiles such as bows.

**Frenzy**: In extreme cases, whenever Axle becomes extremely worked up or has too much magic energy gathered over time, he enters a unique physical state in which all physical aspects of his person experience a tremendous change, undergoing drastic psychological alterations in equal measure. In terms of physical changes, Axle's physique grows, his muscles expanding due to the rush in adrenaline and dopamine, his skin turning red from his heart racing more and overworking itself to the point where his heartbeat becomes audible to hear from a distance, resulting in his veins bulging from all corners of his body. While like this, his defense and offense sky rocket, accomplishing feats of strength he would normally be incapable of producing in his rational state of mind. Caused primarily from a heart defect characterized by an unnaturally increased heartbeat, this in part triggers Axle's heart to pump blood faster through his veins than what would be considered safe, triggering a fight-or-flight response that in turn causes his magic to run out of control, causing his body to emit steam from the sheer speed that the process uses. While in this state, Axle is incapable of using martial arts effectively, sacrificing skill and form for pure power and brute force from the added physical changes, enabling him to use 80% of his overall muscles and applying his magic to simply tear his opponent limp from limp, resorting to the very basic of attacks and spells.
