**Mars Dickens** is one of the main characters in the series.

## Appearance

Mars has a scary-looking face, as commented by Tima when she first met him. He's also quite tall, towering over most of the cast and has a short blonde hair.

## Personality

Mars first seems to be a nasty and arrogant individual. His violent and anger were the result of his past traumatic experience of his violent father. His dark past made it difficult for him to show his inner feelings to others

He hate those who lives in the shadow of the strong and hates even more those who accepted and succumbed to their weakness like Nozomu. It's been suggested that Nozomu reminded him of his own past weak-self. He was trying to cover up his guilt and failure with anger. Thus he takes out his frustration on others and later regrets his stupidity.

He was shown afterwards to be apologetic for his actions, after Nozomu defeated him in a practice battle proving his abilities. After that, he showed noticeable changes and reformed himself from his former clouded judgement and perception. He has pride and conviction that he should be the one to protect his loved ones.

Later Mars can be seen as a trustworthy ally. He's usually very hot-headed and doesn't tolerate any comments against his peers. According to Iris, he may be a lone wolf but at-least he has some principle.

## Abilities

Mars is a very rare individual who can handle both magic and Qi-jutsu at a very high level. Furthermore, he also has the ability to increase the effectiveness and control of both magic and Qi-jutsu,  even though it is limited to wind attribute only.

**Overall Abilities:** As a *B* rank, Mars is undoubtedly a powerful fighter. A qi-dominant fighter, Mars usually uses qi and his gifted physique to overwhelm his opponent. He claimed to be able to fight against likes from the first class and he was only in the tenth class due to his delinquent-like reputation.

**Qi:** Mars has a very high amount of qi, in which he uses to amplify his strength and speed.

**Physical abilities:** Even without the use of qi, Mars was still able to fight off big men in his family restaurant from a young age, hinting his unusual strength.

**Blessing of the Wind Spirit**: Mars' unique ability called , Blessing of the Wind Spirit, that gives high aptitude to wind-type magic and kijutsu. However, it has bad compatibility with no attribute technique. It's limited to the wind attribute and greatly increases the power and accuracy of magic and QI.

**Rank:** He is rank *B*

**Armor:** Mars wear the uniforms of Solminati Academy were originally designed to be sturdy for combat. Also, Mars, wore sometimes wear leather and metal armor over his school uniform and gauntlets covering his upper arms.

## Background

His Father was a drunkard. He used violence against his wife and children for no reasons. Mars felt weak and useless to protect his mother and sister from his father's brutality. His mother succumbed to a disease and died. His father abandoned his children and left the city with another women. Their relatives got together to discuss what to do with the two children whose parents had gone, but what took place at the meeting was not a discussion but a pushing and shoving contest. This left a scar in his heart resulting in his violent behavior.

Eventually, Dell and Hanna who were their neighbors at that time took them in as their own children. They moved to Arcazam to start their new business.

In his early age, he wanted to ride a horse, so he jumped on a carriage horse and the horse was startled and went wild. All the men in the neighborhood had to come out to catch it.

He is considered to be one of the most problematic students not only in this tenth class, but in the whole year as well. Mars was a student who should have been in a higher class, but due to his belligerent personality and bad behavior, he was stuck in tenth class. Two of the cronies follow him around and pair up with him during training and bullying Nozomu. Mars had never even once brought his cronies or any of the other riffraff he had been associating with to his inn.

He lamented for not noticing Nozomu's hard work in the past and tried to approach him in order to get stronger himself.
