## Background

Calyn appears as a guest lecturer at the White Griffon as a result of the Great Academies' professor exchange program. Due to the nature of her course, she is nicknamed the "Anti-Rudd" by her colleagues, as it is relatively short and easy in comparison to Rudd's.

She gives an introduction to Necromancy and teaches them how to animate small simple skeletons (Lesser Undead). Despite her not being one to play favorites, she appreciates Lith's hardworking nature and skill. When Lith manages to reanimate and control multiple undead at once with just a finger, Professor Zeneff judges him as a potential new God of Death (the first being Ilyum Balkor). She later promotes Lith to her assistant.

Following Balkor's attack on the academies, the Professor loses much of her cheeriness and weight due to having lost many close friends and assistants. She teaches the class how to possess their Lesser Undead creations, also providing buckets for them to puke in due to the trauma from recent events.

The magical beast is capable of emitting sad puppy noises that makes anyone who tries to move them away from the fire look like the bad guy, summoning the children to their defense.

## Background

The magical beasts of the Trawn woods all help Lith by protecting his family and the Village of Lutia. Onyx is the magical beast in charge of protecting Aran. Onyx accompanies Aran when Lith takes him and Leria camping for magic training. While Lith teaches the children the basics of magic, Abominus and Onyx hunt for their food on the mountain. The magical beasts watch over the children when they rest while Lith practices for his violet core.

After Kamila puts a halt to the bootcamp and brings the kids on a proper vacation to the beach, Abominus and Onyx are forced to carry many children and endure their grabby hands, though they suck it up as usual. Lith gives them the day off after while he brings the kids shopping in the city. With the passing of the winter solstice, Onyx and Abominus spend their time napping indoors due to the snow and storms while the kids study, eating to their heart's content as the food is delivered to them on a silver platter. At nightfall, they hog all the space in front of the fireplace, exposing their full bellies to the warmth of the flames.

Onyx and Abominus accompany the Verhens to their visit to the Blood Desert to stay with their friends and keep their pet privileges. When the Balkor copycat invades Lutia along with numerous mercenary groups, the Queen's Corps and Lith's beast allies manage to escort Aran and Leria back through to the Desert. Abominus and Onyx speak for the first time to explain the situation to Elina and Rena, causing them to faint, before relaying the message to the Desert people and Salaark.

Lucky

**Lucky** is a Ry and the Ernas household's pet. His master, Orion Ernas, tends to spoil him with delicious table scraps.

## Appearance

Lucky is the new world equivalent of a Tibetan mastiff. What he loses in weight he seems to gain in height , his flabby belly that once wobbled at each step of the canine replaced by solid muscles.

## Background

During her childhood, Phloria approached Orion asking how it felt to kill "bad guys." Orion brought a puppy from the kernel to her with a knife, asking her to kill it to show how it felt every time. Phloria later adopts the puppy, naming him Lucky, and becomes inseparable friends.

When Phloria calls Orion in distress after the second exam, Lucky jumps on Orion, knocking him off his chair to greet Phloria on the communication amulet, cheering her up.

Lucky later evolves into a Ry, becoming able to talk and reason. He also earns a spot at the family dinner table and a strict diet. He later divulges to the Ernas family how Lith slimmed him down time to time, leading them to discover Lith is capable of Rejuvenation magic. Orion puts Lucky on a healthy diet and regular exercise, to his dismay.

Despite having evolved and replaced some fat with muscle, Lucky remains keen on the pet life. He laments how any female Rys he meets treat him with disdain, calling him a wimp.

## Quotes

* *"Help me, brother. They’ve been starving me for months here!"* (Lucky to Lith, Chapter 1319)
* *"I'd liked being a pet better. No training, no diet. Just eat and play...Curse evolution!"* (Lucky after Orion admonishes him, Chapter 1319)

Pazeol Vyntar

**Pazeol Vyntar** is a Mage and Spellbreaker from the Griffon Kingdom as well as a member of its Balkor department. As a former victim, he is extremely dedicated to eradicating every trace of Balkor's work.

## Appearance

Pazeol is in his mid 20's with black hair, brown eyes, and three long and thin scars running from his jaw to his neck as a result of an encounter with Balkor's Valors.

## Background

Pazeol is a survivor of Balkor's last attack on the Griffon Kingdom and its Great Academies. Lith comes across a tribe of wargs (embedded with Tezka's cells) as a result of the Master using Balkor's methods of creating his undead as a reference. Lith makes a report to the army suspecting Balkor's involvement, but Pazeol confirms Balkor is not involved and reveals that each Abomination tissue is embedded with a tracking spell. He gives Lith a receiver for the tracking spell that allows Lith to track down the escaped wargs. He rejoices when Lith describes the effectiveness of the magical tracker, laughing like a madman.

After Marchioness Mirim Distar, Count Trequill Lark, and several other of Lith's allies receive cards similar to Balkor's, Pazeol performs an analysis and confirms they're from a Balkor copycat. He petitions to take charge of the investigation but is shot down by Archon Ernas and Queen Sylpha.

## Quotes

* *"Now if only Balkor dares to raise his head, we'll be able to find him and pay him back in full!"* (Chapter 505)

Lifebringer

**Lifebringer** is a Kirin, one of Lith's Woken, and the North King of Trawn Woods.

## Appearance

### Kirin Form

The Kirin resembles a large white horse partially covered in scales with emerald flames coming out of his hooves and antlers. He has a horn in the center of his head and what looks like a long beard made out of emerald flames covered his chin.

## Background

Prior to applying to Lightning Griffon Academy, Lith is requested by Protector to aid him and the other Kings of the Trawn Woods Reaper and Lifebringer to take down the Wither, an Abomination. Afterwards, Lith consults the Kings regarding true magic but they are unable to help him as it is second nature to beasts.

Lith returns after graduating from White Griffon Academy, arranging for Phillard to help Reaper and Lifebringer protect the Trawn Woods while teaching the magical beasts magic. After the magical beasts wipe out a tribe of trolls, Lith helps Reaper and Lifebringer evolve into Emperor Beasts, though none of the other beasts who attempt survive Awakening. He introduces the three of them to Tista after she Awakens, and they spar each other while practicing magic. Before he leaves, Lith makes each of them a dimensional and communication amulet.

Reaper, Sentinel, and Lifebringer help Lith set up Silverwing's Hexagram when he encounters Athung Soranot from the Awakened Council. Lith asks them to add Kamila to the protection list and keep watch for Athung's return. Later, the three Emperor Beasts are summoned as backup when Gaaron Roghias and his minions attack Lith outside Derios. They catch and kill three of the minions when they attempt to flee and confront Raagu Drerian and Athung when the latter attempt to approach Lith.

During Night's attack on Lutia, Lifebringer and the other Kings alert the beasts on the Council. Lifebringer stays behind in the woods to protect the families who had evacuated there while the others join the fight to support their packs.

The Verhens visit Salaark in the Blood Desert, with Aran and Leria returning regularly to play with Frey and Filia Yehval at lunchtime. One afternoon, the Balkor copycat orchestrates an attack on Lutia using numerous mercenary groups. The three Kings, the Queen's Corps, and the magical beast tribes fight to keep Aran and Leria safe, though the Yehvals are captured. Tezka engages the invaders long enough for Vastor to arrive and change the tides, wiping out the remaining mercenaries. After the battle, Lith commiserates the loss of so many beasts. The Kings reaffirm their bond with Lith and he resolves to avenge their fallen brethren.

Raynart Pontus

**Raynart Pontus** was the son of Duchess Pontus, a leading figure in the old nobles faction, and Vinor's brother. He and several other noble students were told to sexually assault Phloria Ernas in retaliation for Jirni Ernas incriminating the Duchess' brother and crippling their status.

## Background

The Pontus family had been under scrutiny from the Crown due to their deep ties with Coirn Hatorne. Jirni Ernas, the Royal Constable leading the investigation, uncovered Duchess Pontus' brother as a member of the slave trade and in possession of slave collars. The Duchess' brother was brutally tortured to reveal his accomplices, before being executed. In retaliation, Duchess Pontus tasks Raynart and his cousins Gorgus and Sothes with sexually assaulting Phloria to "give Lady Ernas a taste of her own medicine," and to destabilize Linjos' position by forcing him to choose a side.

Lith easily notices the trio waiting outside Phloria's dormitory and subdues them with Spirit Magic. What Lith doesn't notice and Raynart does, however, was that in the shadows half of Lith's face assumes his hybrid form, with a bright yellow vertical pupil, lipless mouth, and a mouth full of fangs highlighted by an inner fire burning in his throat. Lith tortures Raynart by robbing his vitality with darkness magic and regenerating it with light magic moments later, until Raynart's mind collapses.

Raynart and his cousins remain unconscious in the academy hospital until Jirni Ernas visits them after hearing from Lith, whereupon she tortures them awake for interrogation.

Pretion

**Pretion** was an altered Sphinx and one of the kidnappers of undead children from the Eclipsed Lands.

## Appearance

The Sphinx had the body of a tiger and a humanoid face and chest. He had a long golden mane that resembled black striped hair, rainbow-colored feathered wings, and several poisoned quills at the end of his tail.

## Background

Pretion had recruited a 3-headed Hydra and led him to a lab where both were experimented upon while unconscious.

Pretion and other members of Thrud Griffon's army attack the undead city of Lightkeep, kidnapping newborn Greater Undead from the city's Second Life Academy to be used as fuel for their master's Ambrosia. However, Pretion and several of his allies are caught before they can escape by Vladion Dragonborn, Scarlett the Scorpicore, Nyka the Vampire, and Lith Verhen. Thanks to Thrud's experiments, Pretion and his allies are able to use their greater cousins' bloodline abilities such as Life Maelstrom and Origin Flames. Pretion faces off against Scarlett, but his battle experience and mana core prove inadequate and he is captured.

Nindra Luce

**Nindra Luce** is a Great Mage of the Griffon Kingdom, Kandria's strongest mage (formerly) and the chairman of its Mage Association city branch. She was infected by the mana parasite and subsequently cured by Lith.

## Appearance

Nindra is a beautiful woman in her early 30's with bronze skin, light brown shoulder-length wavy hair, and hazel eyes. She has long legs, and full, perky twin peaks.

## Personality

Nindra is haughty and arrogant at first, and also derisive of men, given that all the healers before Lith had taken physical advantage of her helplessness. However, after Lith cures her, she becomes quite assertive, flirting with Lith and giving not-so-subtle hints of her desires.

## Background

Lith requests Colonel Varegrave to let him treat the strongest mages infected by the mana parasite, as if a cure is found for them, treating the others would be easy. He meets Nindra, who at first throws a tantrum, before Lith subdues her. She had been subject to multiple other healers, who had taken advantage of her due to her being restrained, and naturally is extremely apprehensive about another male healer.

Lith does his best to make the procedure as professional and quick as possible as well as show consideration for her feelings, earning her respect. She comes to appreciate his efforts and dedication to the treatment, and Lith manages to cure her for good. Nindra becomes assertive and seduces Lith, but he declines after realizing the consequences such a fling would cause (to his sorrow), though she does tell him "you know where to find me."

7 years later, Nindra reunites with Lith at the Royal Gala. She becomes embarrassed when she learns Lith was her doctor during the plague and that she had hit on a 12 year old at the time. She is introduced to Faluel and after learning Lith isn't dating her, accidentally gives him her contact rune and runs away in embarrassment.

## Quotes

* *"'Okay, Nindra, be cool. The good thing about having hit rock bottom is that it can't get any worse. Things are already awkward as heck. You must choose your next words carefully to salvage the situation.'"* (Nindra seconds before making things worse, Chapter 1461)

Beregor Skywulf

**Beregor Skywulf** was a Wight Greater Undead and one of Night's Chosen.

## Appearance

Nothing of his flesh now remained, though the living shadows enveloping his bones were shaped to resemble his lost physique. He stood almost 2 meters (6' 7") tall, with shoulders wider than most tables and arms as thick as small trees. He carried his prized battle-ax Stormhowl on his back. He wore leather trousers padded with fur, a leather shirt and boots.

## Equipment

**Stormhowl** channeled its master's mana, creating a replica of itself made of darkness magic so big that its handle touched the ground while the tip of the battle-ax grazed the ceiling (16.5 feet/5 meters tall). Darkness magic is supposed to be slow, but thanks to Stormhowl, the spell moves as fast as Beregor's hands.

## Background

Beregor had been a powerful barbarian chieftain before being turned into a Wight. He is present when Manohar and Balkor invade the Night Court in Othre. After Balkor refuses to become Night's host, Beregor attacks him for disrespecting his liege, but Balkor uses Dominance over the darkness element to easily turn Beregor's spell against him and destroy his prism, killing the Wight.

Maeve

**Maeve** is a Morrigan and the plant representative on the Jiera Awakened Council.

## Background

Lith shares the results of his recon mission to the Lost City of Kolga, including the Forbidden Sun and how to disrupt the Kolgan ritual, and proposes an assault. Maeve and the other representatives balk at the hasty measure and intend to regroup/develop a plan, but Lith reveals Kolga's true nature as Kogaluga's twin city, sending Tyris into a fury and prompting the Council to hasten with Lith's plan.
Megon

**Megon** was a Ghoul who served Erlik the Draugr Treant.

## Abilities

The ghoul wielded Plague Bringer, a twin set of katars akin to extensions of his arms. They regenerated as fast as their owner but could also channel his venom through the blade. One of the advantages of his dual-wielding style was the ability to pierce through the enemy defenses since he could perform twice the attacks. Wounds weren't a problem for ghouls so they could devote solely on the offensive.

## Background

Megon participates in Erlik's assault on Leannan the Titania's castle in Erlik's attempt to seize control of Laruel's World Sapling. He fights Phloria when Lith engages him. Pala the Nightwalker attempts to warn Megon of the danger but Megon underestimates Lith and is hit by Origin Flames. He is subsequently outmatched and his blood core is eaten by one of Lith's fire spells.

Lyam Lukart

**Lyam Lukart** was the son of Archmage Lukart and heir to the centuries-old Lukart noble household.

## Appearance

Lyam had a muscular body resembling that of a marine's and is big for his age, having had military training.

## Personality

Lyam was extremely set in arrogant ways of nobles, considering all below them, even new magical bloodlines. He demanded blind respect and loyalty from those he deemed inferior, and could not accept those of commoner status being above him in status or magical talent.

## Background

Lyam attended White Griffon Academy with Yurial Deirus since their 1st year, but quickly parted ways. He never treated Yurial as a peer or friend, considering the Deirus household a second-rate bloodline at best, while Yurial couldn't bear Lyam's groundless arrogance and quickly distanced himself.

During Professor Jian Trasque's Theory of Combat class practical exercise, Lith soundly defeats Lyam, as the former has real life battle experience while the latter does not. Later, with the civil unrest brewing between the old and new noble factions, Lyam and several students from ancient noble families approach Yurial Deirus to recruit him to their cause. After Yurial declines, Lyam and his friends beat Yurial brutally, while healing him to hide proof of the beating.

During the Blink lesson in the last trimester of the 4th year, Lyam accuses Friya of cheating after she is the first to successfully cast Blink. However, he inadvertently reveals that Lith's group's report cards were leaked to the student body, and Professor Rudd deducts 2000 points for slander and divulging academy secrets, as he can't stand false accusations of cheating more than his prejudice for commoners. When Lyam attempts to punch Friya, she masterfully opens a Warp Steps so that Lyam ends up "giving himself a powerful straight in the nuts" to which Rudd and the entire class erupt in laughter. Afterwards Rudd brings Lyam to Headmaster Linjos to get him expelled.

Lyam and his family are killed by Nalear during their escape from the Kingdom.

## Quotes

* *"The good thing about stupidity, is that up to a certain degree it can be beaten out. Even dumb dogs learn their lessons with proper training."* (Chapter 92)
* *"First of all, she comes from a magicless family, hence it's impossible for her to outclass a pureblood like me...How can someone with such a low evaluation be this good at dimensional magic? This is all the proof I need!"* ("Flawless" logical thinking, Chapter 185)

Qwor

**Qwor** is a member of the Queen's Corpse and a fake Awakened by Tyris.

## Background

During the Three Horsemen's attack on the Griffon Kingdom, Qwor accompanies Manohar to the City of Belius to fight against Dawn. The battle goes poorly, with Manohar being little match for Dawn's centuries of experience, mastery of the light element, and mage tower steed Sunrise. Manohar is forced to use the Spell Hoarding Cube and its oldest spells to decimate Dawn's army and cripple Dawn, forcing Baba Yaga to arrive and save her daughter.

Lieutenant Vickas Banut

**Vickas Banut** was a lieutenant of the Griffon Kingdom Armed Forces and Duke Selimar's foster son sent to kill Lith to hide their involvement with Archmage Lukart and the Kandria plague.

## Appearance

Vickas was a plain looking man with chestnut eyes and hair.

## Background

Vickas' parents abandoned him when he was 5 due to having too many children and his lack of talent. Duke Selimar adopted him along with his sworn brothers, saving them from starvation and abuse at the orphanage. Vickas served Selimar for years, joining the military and climbing its ranks for his foster father's sake.

When Lith begins researching a cure for the Kandria plague, Vickas and two other lieutenants sneak into the morgue and unsuccessfully attempt to threaten Lith with Trion's life. Lith subdues them easily by animating the morgue corpses using Necromancy and tortures Vickas by having the Undead eat his feet, learning that Duke Selimar is behind them, with complicity from General Lizhark and Mage Fernath. They were Archmage Lukart's subordinates, but weren't aware of the plague's existence, and wanted to weaponize it after forcing Lith to find a cure for them.

After interrogating the soldiers further, Lith gives them a swift death and turns their bodies and clothes into dust. The disappearance of three officers alerts the quarantine camp, who start a search for three traitors. Colonel Varegrave discovers a letter that Lith had forced Vickas to write, painting Vickas as a hero who tried to reveal the nobles' conspiracy against the Crown and betray his foster father, and was killed by the other two soldiers in the process. As a result, the evidence found in the stash undermines the nobles' credibilities, allowing the Crown to further supress their activities and cripple their influence until after the plague is resolved.

Meru

**Meru** was the High Cleric of the High Sun from the Lost City of Kaduria and the one responsible for activating the Black Star every day.

## Appearance

Meru was the eldest amongst the clerics, with a white robe and beard, as well as a hunched back.

## Background

Meru and the other Clerics of the High Sun created the Black Star to protect Kaduria and destroy the southern invaders, but failed to provide a command to distinguish friend from foe or a failsafe. Most Kadurians consider Meru responsible for what happened, and throughout the centuries would kill him again and again to the point where he stopped running away.

Redan breaks into the main temple, knocking Meru out and bringing him to Lith. Lith fabricates a story to convince Meru and the other Clerics to help him destroy the Black Star, and they reveal to him a failsafe that they couldn't do themselves due to their lack of magic, which can avoid the Black Star's detection and where to strike it. Lith casts the failsafe spells while the Clerics pretend to perform the ritual, but the Black Star detects him and kills the Clerics.

## Quotes

* *"You don't understand! The High Lord was supposed to be perfect. A testament to the High Sun power. A failsafe would have meant a lack of faith."* (Meru to Lith, Chapter 392)

Phrenna Gorth

**Phrenna Gorth** is Linden Gorth's wife.

## Background

Phrenna is introduced to Lith by Linden after her husband reunites with Lith at the Royal Gala. To her annoyance, he regales Lith tales of how he inspired him to work hard to match his achievements. Linden clumsily stumbles around Lith's single status, prompting Phrenna to shut him up.
Magic Creation

**Magic Creation** is the practice of creating personal spells and is a subject exclusive to the 6 Great Academies. Creating a Tier 1-3 spell can take a few days, while creating Tier 4 and 5 spells can take weeks if not months.

A **Codex** contains all the most common prefixes and suffixes to alter first magic, plus standard words that cause specific effects.

## Fake Magic

A spell is composed of two parts - **magical words** that define the element the spell is based on, its shape, and properties, and **hand signs** that regulate the mana output and adjust its effects. Unlike words, there is no recording of hand signs - two people can create the same spell but use different words and hand signs. Hand signs are strongly dependent on the imagination and willpower of the mage devising the spell. While once an incantation is complete anyone can learn it, during the creation process some signs will feel wrong to some mages, correct to others, and lacking to many.

A mage must go past the boundaries of the first three tiers of magic to develop their **mana perception**, which is the foundation for controlling the mana flow with their will and altering its properties. After having a perfect pronounciation of the words, they must focus only on their hands and their own mana flow. Say the words, draw the sign, then keep moving their hands. If the flow continues, then proceed but if it stutters or is blocked, they have to go back to square one until they find the next sequence of movements.

The magic signs for a low tier spell determine the amount of mana that will be employed and how it interacts with the elemental energies. Using the wrong signs can harm the caster - the bigger the mistake, the bigger the damage sustained, especially for attack spells. Correctly performed spells are a part of the caster and thus cannot harm them, but a messed up spell is composed of discordant energies which make no distinction between friend or foe. However, most of the movements for a single hand sign are useless, mostly likely added to make it easier to remember, mask the important parts, or both. What really matters are the movements that alter the shape of the mana strand, adding twists and turns until its flow resembles a true magic spell.

### Sensor Booth

A **Sensor Booth** resembles an old telephone box made of transparent crystal. In front of each Booth is a holographic horizontal bar similar to a combo counter for dancing arcade games on Earth. The Booths identify which energies are being employed and provide slight protection from them.

Key words:

* *Brezza*: air
* *Magna*: earth
* *Jorun*: water
* *Vinire*: light
* *Infiro*: fire
* *Ekidu*: darkness

Standard words:

* *Menala*: three
* *Tach*: explosion
* *Gata*: ring

Example: *Infiro* is the magical word for fire, *Menala* means three, and *Tach* means explosion - hence *Infiro Menala Tach* is supposed to cause three fire based explosions.

## Background

M'Rael strikes a deal with Kimo Bahn, the elder of the Dewan werefolk tribe, to teach the Dewans Light Mastery in exchange for imprisoning Nalrond, Quylla Ernas, and Friya Ernas as well as their artifacts during the latter's visit to Nalrond's Fringe. M'Rael becomes eager to capture Quylla after witnessing her cast Spirit Magic with her Forgemastering wand, but Morok returns after escaping earlier and along with Quylla detonating her wand, distract the Elf Lord long enough for the group to escape the Fringe.

## Quotes

* *"I'm not a human, human. I don't go back on my word."* (M'Rael to Kimo, Chapter 1225)
* *"During the conflict between my people and the humans, Emperor Beasts refused to help us, claiming that we were no different from our enemies. Both of the Werepeople's halves are rotten to the core."* (Chapter 1229)
* *"I need that wand. Once we understand its workings, the elves will be able to take back their rightful place on Mogar. On top of that, I will shove it up my ass."* (M'Rael under Quylla's mind link influence, Chapter 1231)

Leviathan

**Leviathans** are descendants of Fenagar.

* Fenagar (First Leviathan)
* Hushar

## Traits

Leviathans thrive in research and discovery. They are curious, daring, and tenacious, but also very fickle and easily get bored. For example, Fenagar discovered wonders but got bored of them. They would have been lost if not for Leegaain recording the First Leviathan's findings. In spite of Leegaain's intervention, many of Fenagar's discoveries still ended up lost to time.

## Lesser Leviathans

* Jormungrandr
* Nidhogg
Nelia

**Nelia** is a Monster-Griffon Abomination hybrid and one of the Master's Chosen.

## Background

When Night attacks Lith's home and the Village of Lutia, Nelia and the other 6 Chosen attack Night in order to protect Zinya and her family along with the village, as well as get revenge for Vastor's brush with death at the hands of the Horseman's undead. Baba Yaga intervenes, though at the Chosen's insistence punishes Night by removing part of her daughter's free will and destroying her host to let her suffer their pain.

The Master scolds the Chosen for their reckless act of facing Baba Yaga without proper equipment or having not yet stabilized their new forms. He thanks them all for their teachings and calls them his children before undergoing the process to become the first artificial human-Abomination hybrid and first Awakened Abomination.

The Master obtains Vareen the Plaguespreader's legacy following the latter's death during the Urgamakka Council trial. Xenagrosh splits it between the hybrids to make sure that each one of them deepens their understanding of their respective fields.

After the Balkor copycat's attack on Lutia, Zinya proposes to Vastor. The hybrids spectating through Tezka's Spirit Tail celebrate when Vastor accepts and begin planning how to participate in the wedding.

## Quotes

* *"How dare you take what's ours?"* (Nelia to Night, Chapter 1111)

## Trivia

* In Chapter 1573: Growing Power (Part 1), Nelia is incorrectly referred to as Ultah.

Professor Jian Trasque

**Jian Trasque** was the Professor of the Theory of Combat Magic class at White Griffon Academy and its best Battle Mage. He died from injuries fighting Valors during Ilyum Balkor's attack on the academies.

## Appearance

Trasque was a young, handsome man in his 30's with the build of an athlete and dark brown hair in a military cut. He wore no robe and rolled his sleeves up to his elbows, appearing more as an adventurer than an academic.

## Personality

Trasque showed a bright and cheerful demeanor, but when it came to noble bigotry and pompousness, he adopted a cruel, even sadistic attitude against those who perpetuated nobles' behavior and showed no respect for them.

## Background

Jian Trasque was born a commoner. He was rejected by the Fire Griffon, and joined the Mage Association as a home-schooled before moving up to an adventurer, thus receiving his specializations. His talent got him an offer for Professor at White Griffon Academy, while the old Fire Griffon headmaster was fired.

As Professor of the Theory of Combat class, Trasque taught students the importance of first/chore magic and how to use it to survive close encounters when incantations for spells were unavailable. He reprimands Lith for his lack of restraint during the practical combat exercise, though praises him for recognizing and admitting to his flaws.

During Balkor's attack on the academies, Trasque teamed up with Professor Valesa Nalear and Professor Ironhelm and was severely wounded fighting the Valors, dying to his injuries shortly after.

## Quotes

* *"There's no reason for you to get comfortable, since you are going to leave us soon."* (Chapter 54)
* *"As for me, I believe that humans are too arrogant and self-centered to have any concept of pain outside their own. People are only able to empathize with things they experienced hard enough to get hurt themselves."* (Chapter 61)
* *"A mage incapable of controlling his actions, is a danger to himself and others."* (Chapter 62)
* *"Kid, a Ballot is not a toy. Don't try to give me the 'I accidentally sat on it' bullsh\*t."* (Trasque to Lith, Chapter 95)

Olua

**Olua** is a Roc from the beast city of Reghia on the Jiera Continent.

## Appearance

### Human Form

In her human form, Olua looks like a beautiful woman in her mid 20's with wheat-blond hair and eyes. She stands around 1.76 meters (5'9") tall with skin a tinge of bronze so light that it looks golden under sunlight.

### Roc Form

Olua resembles a giant eagle over 20 meters tall covered in golden feathers streaked black all over.

## Background

Olua is a member of the Emperor Beasts' monster cleanup task task force alongside Bodya the Nidhogg. They are joined by Lith for a cleansing operation of a monster army led by Westhar the Puppeteer Abomination. Olua attacks the orc shaman lieutenant Se'Haan while Bodya engages the bulk of the monsters. The battle goes awry when Westhar uses the orc ability Holy Blessing to empower the monster army and grants Se'Haan a violet mana crystal, putting the Emperor Beasts at a disadvantage.

Olua and Bodya team up to ambush and kill Se'Haan, forcing Westhar to launch a desperate offensive against Lith. Lith's life forces fall into disarray as he overuses Origin Flames, turning him into a mass of liquid darkness. Olua and Bodya arrive to distract Westhar while Solus stabilizes Lith's condition, and Lith expels the excess Abomination life force in the form of violet Origin Flames which consume Westhar and his remaining army. The two Emperor Beasts bring Lith back to Reghia.

The two Emperor Beasts assist Tista and Phloria in curing Lith's condition. Later on, the Roc and Nidhogg accompany Tista on several missions to help her find a suitable weapon choice and explains the value of mana geysers to Awakened.

Protheus

**Protheus** is the first Doppelganger, an Awakened slime created by Thrud Griffon.

M'Rook

**M'Rook** was a Ry magical beast and Scarlett's second-in-command. He is killed defending the White Griffon Academy students during Balkor's attack.

## Appearance

The Ry was enormous, standing 2 meters tall and had golden fur with shades of red and yellow.

## Background

At the start of the 4th year's mock exam, M'Rook wakes Scarlett up, informing her of the "invasion" of her turf by the "man-pups." M'Rook leads Termyn and Sentar to attack Lith's group, though Lith is able to fend them off using his experience fighting magical beasts in the Trawn Woods, before leading his group to safety.

On the second day, M'Rook leads the two to attack Lith's group again. Lith outmaneuvers M'Rook, leading Scarlett to tease him for not learning to fly. M'Rook takes on Phloria, but loses ground due to Visen's anti-air array negating his lightning attacks. Phloria finally incapacitates M'Rook by injecting into a wound the Clacker venom Lith had retrieved from earlier. Sentar grabs Termyn and M'Rook before escaping. The third day, the magical beasts don't hold back and quickly wipe Lith's squad out.

When the students move to the academy forest crystal mines, Vinor Pontus provokes and attacks Lith, though Professor Wil Ironhelm intervenes. M'Rook gives his witness account, calling Vinor a "dumb oaf" and Lith a "young wolf," surprising the students that don't know magical beasts could talk.

M'Rook dies in battle fighting Balkor's Valors along with many of Scarlett's underlings and several Professors.

Professor Syndra

**Syndra** was an Archmage of the Griffon Kingdom, a Professor from Lightning Griffon Academy, and a member of the Kulah expedition.

## Background

Upon arriving at the large double doors entrance to the Odi city of Kulah, the expedition team is attacked by waves of Tek magical beasts. Syndra's War Mage spell helps decimate a large group of the beasts. Afterwards, he admonishes his assistant Caliel for making fun of Lith while the Ranger is examining the set of giant double doors.

Syndra and Yondra are the only Professors who don't object to destroying the ancient array on Kulah's city gates, deeming their safety more important than discovery. Upon entering the city (which turns out to be a military base), the expedition is attacked by a fungal creature. Calil foolishly uses a fire magic spell against it, detonating and releasing its spores which affect most of the Professors and assistants.

Lacking sufficient vitality to heal all the wounded, Phloria reluctantly opts to save Professors Ellkas and Neshal over Syndra and Phesta due to their usefulness to the expedition.
