## Storyline

Principal Agoston first appears to give a welcoming speech at the start of the academic year.

The Listener first meets with their principal as part of their plan with August to steal his ledger. He allows them in and is happy to meet with a student who's made such an impact to his school, calling them one of his favorites and allowing them to call him by his first name. He's especially proud of how well they've adapted to Rapture, though he warns that they are missing an essential Rapturian trait - the willingness to achieve their goals through any means necessary, from lying, cheating and backstabbing to outright violence and murder.

After a brief distraction he addresses the reason the Listener came to his office: they wish to change their timetable. He pulls out his ledger and reviews it with them before recommending some advanced classes since they are well ahead in their studies and naturally gifted in necromancy (see Trivia section). The Listener agrees to the changes and he makes the changes, telling them to see him after week so he can see how they're doing and if they need any additional support.

Before he dismisses them, Turas tells the Listener of a request made by Governor Vaset. A diplomatic envoy will be traveling to Runika and the governor is requesting him to nominate a worthy student to accompany them as show of strength for the Rapturian lifestyle and to better ingratiate themselves in western courts. He instructs the Listener to add their name to the list of applications and bids them a good night, blessing them in the name of the Crimson One.

Principal Agoston is briefly mentioned in "Arrogant and Flirtatious Mages Fight For You!" by Fendal as accusing the Listener for stealing an arcane relic from his office.

## Personality

Principal Turas Agoston is a serious, taciturn man who strongly believes in the message of the Crimson One. He considers his school as a way to contribute strong, healthy Rapturian stock to the realm. He expects only the best from his students, regardless of their background, and sets a high punishment for those who fail to live up to his expectations. In typical Rapturian fashion, he is both brutal and pragmatic in his outlook on life and thinks it is the only way to achieve success in Rapture.

He considers Ramses as family in some way and allows the naga to use his name.

The Listener is a source of pride for him as a principal because they, as an outsider mage, are proving that the Academy's teaching methods are effective. Because of their magical potential and academic success (and possibly the social connections they've made in the school) he has permitted them to address him by his first name and come to him if they need any help.
