Cloves/High Guardian Spice

**Cloves** is an senior Guardian-in-training at High Guardian Academy, having been training there ever since his was found by an wandering caravan party. An fourth-year-student at eighteen years of age, he is by far one of the Academy's best warriors in physical strength and swordplay. He is extremely well known due to being the Last Demigod, an race of powerful humans attributed with uniquely defined Old Magic with pacts of powerful High Spirits for magic, as well unknowably immense levels of physical capabilities.

Cloves is one of the only few students at the Academy to actively speak against the Academy's excessively dangerous training methods and tactics, calling it "insufferably illogical" to endanger young students needlessly and even purposely (referring to the time the first year students got poisoned). An person who prefers to go solo against dangerous creatures that is considered "too lethal for the younger guardians" despite he himself being young. According to Caraway, he is likely to become the Academy's strongest graduate past and future, surpassing even Lavender.

Cloves however would leave his mark as an rising symbol of an Guardian during the battle of Asafoetida where an horde of dark creatures known as the daemons began to invade, which he intervened and fought against an recorded number of 500 total daemons backed by other Guardians. His sole act to tackle against the centralized Arch Daemon would mark him to be one of the strongest Guardians in the kingdom.

## Magic & Abilities

**Expert Swordsmanship**: As an Guardian-in-training in the warrior-based tract at High Guardian Academy, Cloves is the most skilled fourth year student at the academy, more so the fact he can overpower and disarm many students in his same year. Effortlessly able to disarm the less skilled and experienced Roemary like a adult to an newborn, Olive noted his swordsmanship and his overall power is the greatest threat she can face and only hopes to face him when she gains enough power to tackle his strengths.

**Demigod Physiology**: Born an legendary demigod of humanity, Cloves is the academy's most physically impressive human of raw strength and endurance. Able to tackle large creatures, and tear trees down to be used as weapons themselves, he is able to overpower almost anything that stood in his way out of sheer strength alone. In fact he is so well known for his strength, even Olives stated just encountering him in an one on one fight will lead to her defeat.

**Gifted Intellect**:

**Old Magic**: Cloves is born with the innate ability of the Old Magic through the usages of powerful Divine-class High Spirits, performing uniquely defined spells that otherwise is impossible for anyone else to do, even with the New Magic. Able to manifested elemental aspects that purifies, petrifies, or completely destroy anything in existence, his connection to these spirits is incredibly vast it makes even mages seem weak in comparison. Despite the fact he trained in the warrior tract as an tank, he can very much became an mage-focused Guardian with greater potency then even teachers and fully-fledged Guardian mages. More often Cloves magic has been referred as either **Spirit Magic** by Sage, or **Divine Magic** by himself as told by the spirits he is contracted with.
