Manga Chapter 144

**Wismreg** (ヴィズムレグ), aka "Wismregzero", "Wismreg Zero", or just "Zero", is an elven Magic Swordsman. He is the older brother of Erailia, and would do anything to protect her.

Haruka gave him a few nicknames:

* マッケンジー - "MacKenzie", this was the primary nickname Haruka initially used.
	+ MacKenzie comes from a distortion of the Japanese term for Magic Swordsman (魔剣士, *Makenshi*).
* レロレロのおっさん - "The Rerorero old dude"
	+ "レロ" is a distortion of ヴィズム**レ**グ=ゼ**ロ**, extracting only the **レ** and the **ロ**, which when combined is a Jojo reference as the onomatopoeia for the sound of licking/rolling something on your tongue.
	+ Originally "Rerorero" was just a descriptor instead of a nickname, as in "the beautyful-woman-licking MacKenzie". But by the second day Haruka stopped calling him MacKenzie altogether, and start just calling him "the Rerorero old dude".
* レロレロさん - "Mr. Rerorero"
	+ Occasionally "The Rerorero old dude" got simplified to just "Mr. Rerorero".

## Combat Style

He primarily fights with a vast arsenal of magic swords with very diverse effects. A trick he uses is chanting an incantation to activate the effects of the magic sword he is visibly wielding, while silently controlling other magic swords that are out of sight, a feint strategy.

Haruka noted that he had a very versatile fighting style, but is especially strong against people-killers. He is the ultimate anti-killer, well-suited for being bodyguard.

## Story

Background
Wismreg was a renowned hero among the elves. At one point he had killed half of the Eight Swords of Commerce Nation.

Wismreg was enraged when he learned his little sister Erailia, the only family he had left, had fallen gravely ill serving as the Priestess of the Seal for the Elven Forest, and that the Elven Elders refused to relieve her of the role. Wismreg "abducted" his sister from the Elven Holy Land and defected to the Commerce Nation, with the condition that he would never assist the Commerce Nation in hunting elves. Wismreg hoped with the connections of the most influential merchants of the continent, he would be able to obtain the medicine needed to save his sister's life.

The elves decried Wismreg a traitor, the mentioning of his name a taboo, and he came to be called "Zero" (the nameless one). The elders blamed the corruption happening in the Holy Land on Zero's setting fot in there. Wismreg seemed to take the intended insult with pride, a badge of honor demonstrating his love for sister, and became known as "Wismreg Zero".

With his skills as an expert Magic Swordsman, he managed to join the ranks of the Seven Swords of Commerce Nation, the protectors of the nation. He earned world-wide fame dispatching high level spies and assassins send by other countries, and became known as the "Hidden Dagger of the Commerce Nation" (商国の懐刀).

Despite his efforts and achievements, the best medicine he was able to gather while working for the Commerce Nation was barely keeping his sister from dying.

Kingdom Civil War

> Hey! Are you listening? I'm begging you, would you plea~~se just kindly let me arrest you?

> -Wismreg, Web Novel Part 273

The Commerce Nation backed the Second Prince, who took control of the Kingdom Capital during the Kingdom Civil War. Wismreg was sent to protect the supplies sent by the Commerce Nation, and guarded the storage rooms of the Kingdom Capital. On Day 67, he encountered Haruka, the thief who had been stealing the supplies. Wismreg saw Haruka was only level 21, and instead of trying to kill Haruka, Wismreg focused on simply arresting him, aiming for the legs and using magic swords that primarily bind or stop movement. However, none of his prided magic swords were able to land any hits on Haruka. While he was focused on Haruka before him, he got knocked out by Angelica's silent Morningstar attack from behind and was captured.

Haruka and the Girls heard him out and learned of his circumstances, and informed him that the medicine he sought in fact actually came from the Kingdom, and it was the Commerce Nation that had been cutting off availability and jacking up the prices for insane profits. Wismreg realized he had sided with the bad guys and made enemies of the people who could actually save his sister. The harder he worked, the more impossible it was for everyone in the world suffering from sickness to get the important medicine.

> People who had given up can't obtain anything. Isn't that a mater of fact? They have given up after all?

> -Haruka, Web Novel Part 274

Wismreg begged. He was willing to give up everything, all of his magic swords, all of his money, and if necessary, even forfeit his own life, if Haruka would share some of the medicine for Erailia. This ticked off Haruka. Haruka pulled out three recover mushrooms in front of Wismreg: usually one is enough to cure most diseases, and two should be enough even if things has progressed to a very late stage, and three should immediate get up and running around from near death. But because the little sister's big brother had given up the fight, poor little sister was not going to get any.

Haruka cut the ropes that bounded Wismreg, threw all the confiscated magic swords on the floor before him, and taunted Wismreg to take the mushrooms by force. Wismreg was enraged, and unleashed his magic swords against Haruka with murderous intensity. Haruka knocked him down over and over again without getting even a single a scratch. When Wismreg couldn't stand anymore, he crawled; when he couldn't see anymore, he use presence-sensing to orient his direction, until Haruka finally knocked him completely unconscious.

Satisfied with Wismreg's resolve, Haruka sent the Shino Clan, guarded by Angelica, with an express carriage to "abduct" Erailia from the Commerce Nation, saving her life in return for Wismreg's service. Wismreg was subsequently sold to Ceres, who assigned Wismreg to guard the royal family after the Kingdom Palace was taken back.

During the dance party celebrating the end of the Kingdom's crisis on Day 77, Wismreg and the Nerds guarded the orphans from would-be abductors and assassins.

When Haruka's group departed the capital to return to Omui on Day 77, Wismreg entrusted his little sister to Haruka, staying behind in the Kingdom Palace to continue protecting the royal family. Just by making it known that Wismreg Zero is in the Palace already served as deterrence and made the Palace safer.

Crisis in Elven Forest

> Sir Zero is a free man, and a benefactor to us the royal family. You will always be welcomed as a friend. Do as you wish.

> -King Diorelle, Web Novel Chapter 725

On Day 142, Haruka's group, including Erailia, stopped by the Kingdom Capital, letting King Diorelle know they were dropping by the Eleven Forest to deal with the issues there. The King relieved Wismreg Zero of his obligations, setting him free, so that he could accompany his little sister and also serve as a guide for Haruka passing through the Commerce Nation.

Wismreg Zero led a small reconnaissance party towards the Commerce Nation, but on the way they kept getting attacked by former-soldiers-turned bandits. Haruka indiscriminately attacked all "old dudes", and Wismreg had to dodge for his life. Many of the magic swords that Haruka sold him also came in handy for keeping him alive (from Haruka).

After all, it's your fault for saying "The streets is less guarded" while trying to look cool.

Wismreg was reunited with Giangirey and Cheritty, two of his friends who were also among the Eight Swords of Commerce Nation. Upon learning of Wismreg's circumstances and the Commerce Nation's treachery, Giangirey defected to Wismreg Zero's side, while Haruka bribed Cheritty over with nice bows and arrows.

(more to be filled in)

On Day 155, during the party celebrating the resolution of the crisis, King Earia cleared Wismreg's name and restored his honor. He was no longer "Zero" anymore. Further more, King Earia appointed him as the new king of the elven forest, to lead a new generation that could work with the other races. The Elven Nation will temporarily have two royal families, King Earia's old royal family would relocated to the western border and defend against the Empire's aggression, while Wismreg's new royal family would sit in the east, building a new cooperative foundation with the Kingdom and the New Commerce Nation.

By Day 184, he and Giangirey were officially engaged.

## Trivia

* In the context of the Kingdom Civil War arc, Wismreg was a contrast against Dajimakamu -- the "strongest protector" vs "the strongest killer". The killer was mercilessly annihilated by Haruka, while the protector was... beaten up, sold off, and eventually became a king of his people.

* Web Novel Part 728 and Web Novel 1326 are written from his perspective.
