Isaac was the **main character** of the web novel *The Academy's Weakest Became a Demon-Limited Hunter*.

After ignoring it for a long time, Isaac wanted to re-experience the Magical Knight of Märchen's game story. Not wanting to bother with grinding, he tried to leisurely start a new game after applying the Stat 100 cheat code, the only one that works in the game.

That is probably why he transmigrated as speculated by him. However, the true reason is unknown.

## Appearance

A young male student with silver-blue hair and a pair of crimson eyes that have a blueish aura attached to them. His height is average and the overall impression he gives is cute.

He is generally dressed in the academy's uniform with a silver-rimmed navy blue cape neatly draped over his shoulders, and a small brooch attached to his tie scattering red light.

### As Greung

A man in navy blue hooded coat. His entire is toned, and he appears to be at least two meters tall. He has blood-red eyes and a large grotesque mouth.

The mouth has its gum exposed with large, sharp teeth neatly aligning them, the jutting canines and large molars are especially terrifying.

He has pitch-black skin.

## Personality

*I'll commit evil deeds without hesitation*

*Chapter 5 - Realm of an Archwizard*

He has a habit of talking and thinking to himself and weirdly laughing in between.

## Game History

The character he transmigrated as was a third-rate extra with disastrous stats. His level was a measly 20. The average level of freshmen in Märchen Academy was around 40 at the time of the entrance ceremony. Considering the difficulty of the game, it was an obvious conclusion to make that he had passed the overwhelming entrance exam with his theoretical skills rather than his practical skills.

He was just a third-rate extra who had nothing to do with either the protagonist or any of the other main characters.

Isaac as a game character had terrible stats that were lower than average and awful growth potential.

He could even be called extra among extras that ended up with a sense of inferiority towards Ian, the main character, despite having a weightless existence. At the beginning of the game story, he becomes one of Mateo's lackeys and makes several attempts to harass Ian, who is a Grade E just like him, but ends up easily getting robbed of that position soon enough.

Besides his failed attempts at petty revenge, simply watching Ian's rapid growth made his frustrated to the point where he could only grind his teeth, and in the end, his weight turned to dust forever being nothing more than a third-rate extra.

His purpose was to be a small darkness that added a halo to Ian's growth and was commonly considered to be the weakest point in <Magical Knight of Märchen>.

## Plot

### Act 1, Chapter 1, Ian Fairytale

Show/Hide

Isaac transmigrated into the world of the Magical Knight of Märchen. When he first opened his eyes in the student dormitory, he used the academy's currency, which he received as a freshman benefit, to pay for his meals. Other than that, he did nothing but wander around in silence day after day for three days. In addition, he had gained the ability to use magic by manipulating mana with his senses. He still didn't know if he would ever be able to return to his own world later on, or if he would have to live in the game world. The worst case scenario was if the world had a bad ending as a result of the death of the main character, Ian Fairytale, and he died along with everyone else.

*So, under the assumption that I can't return to my own world, what would be the safest countermeasure to take?*

*It's lucky that the cheat is still valid...*

After thoroughly checking the status window for the past 3 days, he was able to confirm that the Stat 100 cheat had been applied to him as is. While it had no direct effect on his stats, it can be used to invest in his potential growth. Therefore, it was possible to expect dramatic effects right away.
The main problem was that this **Isaac** character not only had terrible specs but awful growth potential as well... To put it simply, his only power was the ability to drop ice cubes.

Knowing that, he had to make sure with his own two eyes that the main character, Ian Fairytale, was capable enough to get through the hellish difficulty appropriately on his own.

At 8:00 am on the day of the entrance ceremony for the freshmen of the Märchen Academy, he immediately began heading into the Josena Forest that was located just outside the academy's main gate, while reliving his memories of playing the game to find his way. His destination was a glade that would appear midway through a forest trail lined with trees. It was the place where Ian was supposed to be while on his way to the academy.

He encountered Ian the moment he reached his destination but Ian's condition was far from good and he fainted. Trevion the Evil was a very formidable enemy at Lv.80 whereas Ian was just Lv.30.

*By the way...Ian, just what are you doing at a time like this?Did you run out of stamina right away?It can't be. Please no...Of course, the Hell difficulty requires an amount of control only attainable after training until you feel like dying from the very beginning, but even so, this is not...*

...And so, from the first day of the entrance ceremony, the world was already on the verge of a bad ending.
Isaac had no idea what would happen to him when there was a bad ending. Would he be sent back to reality, or... will he die permanently? He had no idea what to do to salvage this situation. The only thing most likely to guarantee his safety was to clear the game.

Just then, he remembered the Stat 100 bonus cheat. He immediately invested all the bonus stat points (100) into [vs. Demon Combat Power] making it jump from E-class to S-class. He also acquired the [Hunter] trait. It was only natural to put everything into this particular potential in the precarious situation. That's because of its temporarily increasing stats when dealing with demons.

As a result, he was able to exert overwhelming strength when fighting against demons like Trevion from now on.

Finally prepared, he confronted Trevion. Facing a demon, his level and abilities rose sharply. He used the [Frost Explosion (Ice Element, ★5)]. The spell instantly killed Trevion. Defeating the demon rewarded him an increase of 5 levels, instantly taking him to Lv.25 from Lv.20.

*The first bad ending has been prevented, and now-*

### Act 1, Chapter 2, Passion of a Grade E

Show/Hide

Then he hurried to the entrance ceremony. He also remembered that Kaya Astrean was the one supposed to save him. He tried looking around but couldn't sense or see her anywhere. So he assumed Kaya was not there and was relieved that he didn't get caught in the middle of the fight. Had Kaya seen him obliterate an Lv.80 demon in one attack- he couldn't imagine how things would've turned out.

Unfortunately for him, Kaya was actually present there, just hidden. She had seen everything and his Grade E mana during the mana evaluation test in the first orientation class just made things worse. After the mana evaluation, she approached Isaac to ask about this matter. Fortunately, Isaac was able to successfully fool her into thinking that he was an Archwizard and this also made her afraid of him as a plus point. This would prevent her from further causing any problems.

The more pressing matter was, although the main story hadn't even started yet, Ian Fairytale had already gotten his ass beat by Trevion the Evil. In other words, it was impossible to know whether he would be capable enough to beat any of the numerous enemies that would appear in the future. With his soul having been transmigrated into the game world, he had no idea what kind of disastrous fate would befall him if Ian Fairytale were to die and cause a bad ending to occur.

With all of this in mind, the most certain way for him to avoid an untimely death was to go ahead and clear the main story of Magical Knight of Märchen while struggling through the hellish difficulty level to prevent a bad ending.

### Act 1, Chapter 3, Class Placement Evaluation

Show/Hide

Three days after the mana evaluation, there would be a class placement. It was an event where the main character, Ian Fairytale, and one of the heroines, Luce Eltania, would get entangled. As for why they got involved, it was because a demon suddenly appeared, and they had to fight together to defeat it, with Ian protecting Luce. After the fight, Luce would fall in love with Ian because of the memories they made and would later become his girlfriend.

Of course, none of this would happen because Ian was just a powerless bastard who cannot do shit. In the first place, there was no need for Ian to protect Luce. Luce herself was powerful enough to defeat the demon alone. The problem with that, however, was that it led directly to a bad ending. The trigger for this bad ending wasn't Ian's death, it was actually when Luce summoned her familiar to defeat the demon.

So, Isaac's role was to defeat the demon as quickly as possible and prevent the bad ending from happening. However, the class placement evaluation started at 2:00 PM, and the demon wouldn't appear until 7:)) PM.

The class placement evaluation was a survival game where everyone was an enemy of each other. In that battle, Isaac would have to survive for five hours until the demon appeared while being weakest student. So, he started preparing according to the training plan he had drawn up in advance to improve his strength somewhat before the evaluation.

*Firstly physical training, secondly magic training, then introduction to Basic Magic, and finally The Study of Elementary Ice Science.*

While participating in a physical training session, Isaac garnered the admiration of the Knight Department's students. They believed that physical exercise was essential for anyone who wanted to excel in magic or any other field. As a result, they eagerly offered to train Isaac themselves.

*Can we teach you how to properly exercise?*

- Blokes from Knight Department, *Chapter 6 - Class Placement Evaluation (1)*

It was difficult to expect dramatic changes in just three days, but he did grow a little. As a result of training, his level rose by 1. He invested the newly acquired two stats in [Magic Training Efficiency], and thanks to that, his [Magic Training Efficiency] went up from C- to C. His abilities also increased, and his mana rose by 20. [Mana Recovery Speed], [Stamina], [Strength], [Intelligence], [Elemental Firepower], and [Elemental Efficiency] also rose by one level each.

He prepared for the class placement evaluation by buying ten slingshots, magic pouches, a few magic tools, and a Magic Cloak of Disguise.

The class placement evaluation had simple rules. The students had to collect as many mana grains as possible in the given time. The mana grains were scattered in the Delphine Forest, and they would stick to the watch that each student wore if they got close enough. The mana grains could not be detached from the watch once they were stuck. Mana grains gave off faint mana, making them hard to find. Therefore, the key factor in this class placement evaluation was mana perception.

The students also had to keep their watch on their wrists at all times. If they took it off for any reason, the faculty would be notified and the student would be disqualified. They could also try to take another student's watch. A successful theft would earn them extra points equal to the opponent's mana level. In short, it was a **survival game**, and any method of gaining points was allowed.

As it was a test determining which class one would belong for the entire semester, the class placement evaluation was of great important, but Isaac's top priority was defeating the demons rather than worrying about his rankings.

The test was a perilous and crucial ordeal that required students to form alliances for survival and efficiency in collecting mana grains. However, Isaac, a Grade E mana user, had no allies to count on. He would be lucky if he could avoid being exploited by others. He also couldn't trust Kaya, who overestimated his abilities. There were too many uncertainties involved. He couldn't be sure that Kaya would assist him, and he faced the dangers of exposing his weakness or being betrayed by her.

In that situation, he had only one option.

*I think...I'll just hide.*

He decided to hide in tree with thick leaves that looked perfect to hide in adopting the 'fuckin' hold' strategy. As for the mana grains, he decided to find them after dark.
At 6:30, he successfully got out from his hiding and faithfully headed out to find that demon and Luce.

Unfortunately, fate is a bitch. He encountered Kaya Astrean right after coming out of his hiding place. She, having her pride as the second seat, though fearful of Isaac, still wanted to fight with him to ascertain her skills. In the end, Isaac was able to escape after spewing some bullshit and making her believe it.

But his misfortune didn't end there. Just after escaping from Kaya, he encountered Tristan Humphrey. But Isaac had a master plan for him. He knew Tristan was quite powerful, but he was inexperienced in defending himself since he solely focused on attacking rather than defending.

Isaac first threw a Processed Fog and then intensified the resultant fog using [Cold Divergence (Ice Element, ★1)] but Tristan easily blew that away using [Wind Generation (Wind Element, ★1)]. However, Isaac knew this would be the outcome and this was just a distraction. The real attack was dropping a block of ice on Tristan's head using [Ice Generation (Ice Element, ★1)] to make him faint and then running away.

Of course, this wasn't really enough to defeat Tristan. Although Isaac had successfully injured Tristan, it was not enough to fully decipate him. After Isaac started running away, Tristan prepared a long range spell [Whirlwind (Wind Element, ★4] but it was interrupted by Kaya Astrean who believed that a insignificant being like Tristan shouldn't bother 'Sir Isaac'.

*Even I have never touched Isaac, what makes someone like you think you can?*

- Kaya Astrean to Tristan Humphrey, *Chapter 8 - Class Placement Evaluation (3)*

Isaac arrived just in time to save Luce from the demon Pernicus the Contemplative. Ian had already collapsed and Luce was about to use her last resort, summoning Galia. Isaac put on his Greung disguise and unleashed [Frost Explosion (Ice Element, ★5)] on the demon, killing it and earning a Remnant of Darkness and four levels as reward.

He then tried to slip away, but Luce caught him with [Water Generation (Water Element, ★1)] and asked for his name. He mumbled something that sounded like 'Greung' or 'Guwaak' and escaped from there.

He finally thought he was safe, but then he realized he had dropped his Magic Pouch. He came up with another plan to go there again as Isaac and pretend to fall there and get it back. Amazingly, his plan was successful.

The class placement was finally over. However, his results were less than desirable. He survived for 5 hours while being the weakest and managed to defeat the demon, but despite all that he only collected 2 mana grains. Since each mana grain was worth 10 points, he ended the exam with a total of 20 points.

In the end, he was ranked 300th out of 300 students in the first year of the Magic Department.

### Act 2, Chapter 1, Class D

Show/Hide

The purchase of the Cloak of Disguise and his less than desirable performance in the class placement evaluation left him with only 20 Gels. He could barely afford two pieces of bread for 10 gels each, and that was his only food. Mateo Jordana, a fellow commoner, saw his plight and decided to help him out. He bought him meals for three days and asked him to join his crew. Isaac acted grateful and pretended to be awed by Mateo's generosity, giving him the impression of 'I will follow you.'

Of course, that was only a false impression that would be shattered soon.

*I have to stop the bad ending, so I'll have to play with you for a while.*

### Act 2, Chapter 2, Childhood Friend Kidnapping Case

Show/Hide

After a verbal battle with Ian Fairytale, Mateo Jordana decided to kidnap Amy Holloway, Ian's childhood friend, to force him to fight. He wanted to thoroughly bring him to despair.

Isaac had two reasons to join Mateo's gang. The first was to deal with the demon who would appear during the fight between Mateo and Ian, attracted by Mateo's immense mana. Second was...

*Then the kidnapping...I'll do it.*

To safely kidnap Ian's childhood friend as well one of his favorite characters, Amy Holloway.

*Leave it to me. I want to be of use too, Mateo.*

Contrary to Mateo's intention, he ended up treating Amy quite harshly. It was probably a device to escalate the conflict, but Isaac hated it.

The scene where Amy Holloway put Ian in jeopardy because of her own momentary urges and foolish ideas was a scene that didn't sit right with Isaac.

He always liked her bright smile, which seemed to be in full bloom. That's why he was fond of her and had many memories of her.

It would be easy to kidnap her because of how psychologically vulnerable she was. Isaac found her in Hydrangea Garden and decidef to be open about his intentions.

He made an offer as politely as possible.

*I'm sorry, but I'm trying to kidnap you. Will you cooperate?*

Amy wanting to teach Ian a lesson followed Isaac to get kidnapped. Isaac brought her to a small house somewhere in Josena Forest. Initially, it had been an abandoned warehouse, but it was cleaned under the pretext of kidnapping. One of Mateo's subordinates knew how to handle the wind element, so it was easy to clean off the dust.

Amy and Isaac had a simple tea party with chocolate and tea in the small house. Because he had been playing the game so much, he apparently had a lot to say to Amy. When he started talking, stories came to mind and words just started flowing out.

Thanks to that, the atmosphere was never awkward from beginning to end. As if relieved by the chocolate and black tea, Amy kept complaining to Isaac. Of course, it was Ian.
