Elijah Knight/Synopsis

## Season 2

After awakening his mana core at the age of 10, Elijah was able to develop his mana core to the dark red stage in only a few months with an affinity for earth magic. Despite only being at the Dark Red Stage, his mentor and father Rahdeas believed Elijah to be much stronger than most mages at his level and had him apply to the Adventurer's Guild in Xyrus City.

Elijah arrived at the Xyrus Adventurer’s Guild the same day as Lucas Wykes and a masked boy named Note. Before Elijah could make his way to the testing arena, the examiner Emily reviewed his recommendation from Rahdeas and was automatically placed in B-Class without having to duel her. Elijah accepted the rank as he sat back down, catching the eye of Note who saw him from across the stage. Elijah continued to watch the rest of the examinee's duel, from the sidelines. While Elijah had no interest in the arrogant Lucas Wykes who was also placed in B-Class with Elijah, Elijah was amazed by the power displayed by Note in his duel with the Guild Master Kaspian Bladeheart. After Note's match was concluded and he was also placed in B-Class, the exams concluded as all examinees were ordered to receive their license from the front desk. After receiving his guild card from reception he accidentally bumped into Note in the lobby and the two were immediately met by Lucas Wykes. Lucas warns the two that even though they are the same rank, they are not on the same level. Lucas then aggressively shoves Note before leaving. Elijah then quietly left Note while he was distracted.

## Season 3

Over the next two years Elijah would grow stronger as a mage, eventually breaking through to the Dark-Orange Stage of his mana core as well as promoted to A-Rank Adventurer. Following breaking through to the Dark-Orange stage, Elijah discovered he was a deviant in metal magic.

### Venture into the Dire Tombs

Elijah was recruited into the Dire Tombs Exploration Party as a support mage along with A-Rank conjurer’s Lucas Wykes, Samantha Tempest, Oliver Hemmbet; A-Rank augmenters Reginald Bastion, Kriol Masser, and Note; and AA-Rank augmenter’s Jasmine Flamesworth and Brald Landon, the latter being the group’s leader. Noticing that Jasmine and Note were carrying their belongings, Elijah offered to store their luggage in his dimension ring for them. Note sincerly thanked Elijah which made Elijah flustered. As the party entered the first level of the dungeon, the group noticed the lack of mana beasts until Brald spotted Batrunners hanging from the ceiling. With everyone in formation, Brald ordered everyone not to waste their mana on the beasts and focused on normal combat. Lucas however, ignored his leader’s orders and engulfed the Batrunners in his Heat Cyclone. As the group continued to move, Brald rediscovered the secret entrance he had marked. Elijah conjured handholds from the earth to help everyone climb to the next level. As everyone climbed to the top, Brald gave one more warning to the group to stay on guard as he still has no idea what other dangers await them.

While navigating the second level, Samatha was distracted by the sudden rise in temperature, when Note saved her from what seemed to be a trap. Brald however revealed that the secret entrance did not contain traps the last time he entered. Note deduced that it was the work of a mana beast. With the group now on high alert, they continued to march forward while enduring the rising heat from the next level. Finally arriving at the exit, Brald stopped the party from moving forward as he could sense there was an ominous pressure coming from the cavern ahead.

While making their way through the cavern of geysers, they are ambushed by the sudden appearance of a giant Cavern Worm beast. Kriol quickly put up a barrier between themselves and the monster as Brald reveals that the monster was not present the last time he explored the level, surprising Kriol. The worm began to act strangely as it made tunnels around the party before retreating into the ground. After Kriol put down his water barrier, Oliver expressed his desire to continue the exploration and asked Samatha to follow along behind him in an effort to impress her. Brald warned Oliver not to continue as they needed to assess the situation. Brald’s warnings only fall on deaf ears as Oliver tried to take charge and walked away from the group. As Brald attempted to pull Oliver back, Note noticed the ground was about to erupt and pulled Brald back to safety as he ordered Lucas to cast heatwave barrier around everyone, which Lucas begrudgingly obeyed. Before Note could warn Oliver to cast a barrier for himself, the entire cavern was engulfed in a sea of fire, bursting from the geysers. As the flames and steam settled, the group could only look in horror at Oliver’s skeletal remains.

As the group regain their composure, Note suggests they should move out. Brald agrees and orders everyone to evacuate before the cavern ruptures again. While they rush towards the exit, they are again attacked by the Cavern Worm. Kriol shields the group from the Worm's attacks as Brald commanded Elijah and Samantha to stun the worm while it was distracted. Samantha and Elijah then try to restrain the worm using Samantha’s Siren’s Howl while Elijah restrained it with Stone Serpent’s Grasp. While the duo are able to push back the worm, Reginald, Jasmine and Brald attacked the worm head on with Reginald attempting to attack the worm in its blind spots while Brald and Jasmine distracted the beast.

While the three hold off the Worm, Note took the opportunity to slice at the worm, creating an opening for Jasmine to injure the Worm. The Worm suddenly retreated into the ground. Believing the situation to be dealt with Brald ordered everyone to evacuate the cavern. Unfortunately the group realized too late that the worm was in fact distracting them before the next eruption. As everyone quickly attempted to shield themselves, Brald noticed Samantha panicking as she was unable to quickly form a barrier in time and in the heat of the moment shielded her from the eruption at the sacrifice of his right arm.

Narrowly escaping the cavern, the party took the time to rest while Reginald held Brald down as his arm was cauterized by Note. Elijah also helped Brald with bandaging his foot as well as tending to everyone else's injuries. Despite the loss of his arm, Brald insisted on continuing the exploration as his final dungeon raid, while appointing Note as the new party leader as he was the most level headed and capable of leading the group, a statement Elijah agreed to.

Making their way towards the end of the tunnel, the party found themselves at another roadblock, as the tunnel was blocked off by a metal wall. Reginald and Jasmine together bypass the wall with their combined power, where the group find themselves in a forest surrounded in mist. While the group tried to assess the area, Kriol dropped his shield and ran into the mist whilst screaming for his deceased fiancé. Jasmine deduces that the mist in the area is inducing hallucinations, which Brald and Reginald confirm as they witnessed Clara’s death. After Jasmine blows the wind away with her Banshee’s Howl, the party are surprised at the sudden appearance of so many vines. Elijah kept his distance as Reginald protected him and the other Conjurers. To keep the vines from spreading further, Elijah conjured a crater to disrupt the vines. As the vines continued to grow back rapidly Elijah was struck with terror at the sight of of the perpetrator of the vines; The Elderwood Guardian.

While Reginald and Elijah tried to hold off the monster, Note tried to help the party escape, carrying Samantha on his back after she fell trying to avoid the monster’s attack. Elijah used his magic to shield Reginald as well as Jasmine. When Reginald was captured by the Guardian, Note ordered Lucas to aid Reginald, only for Lucas to attack Note pointblank with Samantha getting burnt in the crossfire, breaking her legs. Believing they were all goners, Lucas attempted to sacrifice his teammates while he escaped alone. When Jasmine was hit by Lucas's fire, Elijah conjured an earth wall to catch her, saving her life, though she was left unconscious. Elijah continued to shield everyone from the Elderwood Guardian, but due to Lucas's attacks, Elijah was left distracted and was subdued by the S-Class mana beast. Unable to move, Elijah was forced to watch as Brald continued to fight the Elderwood Guardian until he was killed by the monster. Noticing Note was still alive, Elijah attempted to reach him but Note managed to stand back up and approached the Elderwood Guardian as he activated the second phase of his beast will. Elijah was left in awe as Note single handedly destroyed the Elderwood Guardian.

As the cave began to collapse in, Elijah managed to save both Note and Jasmine, as well as Samantha, by conjuring a shelter of metal. While trapped for nearly a day, Elijah tended to both Note and Jasmine with the medical kit he had. Note managed to regain consciousness and asked Elijah to use the gems on his glove to heal him and Jasmine. Elijah assures Note that Jasmine would be fine in a few hours. Elijah then voiced his surprised that the legendary masked swordsman Note was in fact a kid just like him, making Note realize he lost his mask. While he wasn't able to find his mask, Elijah did manage to save Note's swords. Note thanked Elijah for saving them when he didn't have to, but Elijah assures him that he didn't want to be compared to the noble Lucas. On that note, Elijah asked why Note went out of his way to help everyone in the first place. To which Note admitted that he made a promise to someone that he would cherish his life and those in it, which Elijah found amusing. While they waited for Jasmine to recover, Note formally introduced himself as Arthur Leywin.

The two continued to converse as Elijah reveals his natural abilities to create metal and Arthur revealed his abilities as a quadra-elemental mage with dual deviants, as well as a Beast Tamer. The two continued to joke and pass the time until Jasmine finally awoke, immediately embracing Arthur while apologizing again. With the medical kit in Jasmine's bag, everyone was able to properly bandage themselves as they made their way out of the cave. Elijah then used his Earth Pulse to locate Samantha who was left crippled, but still alive. With Samantha now retrieved, the remaining party members made their way to the exit before a sudden tremor occurred. Before Elijah could defend them, Arthur assured him that the tremor was nothing to worry about as his bond Sylvie emerged. Elijah was left in shock as he saw that Arthur's bond was also a dragon.

Now riding on Sylvie, the group quickly made their way out of the Dire Tombs. Due to Sylvie's greater power, she managed to scare off the other mana beasts to avoid any altercations, making Elijah question why they didn't bring her with them from the start. Just before they made it to the entrance, Samantha regained consciousness. Samantha then revealed that she managed to salvage both Arthur’s mask as well as the Elderwood guardian Core before the cave in. Despite Arthur’s insistence that they sell the beast core evenly, everyone believed Arthur deserved the core as he was the one who killed the monster. After finally escaping the Dire Tombs, Jasmine and Elijah rushed back to the Adventurer’s Guild hall to inform them of what transpired as well as send a recovery team to retrieve Samantha and Arthur.

Upon returning to the Adventurer’s Guild, Elijah, Jasmine, and Arthur gave their statements to Kaspian Bladeheart, when they were suddenly confronted by Lucas Wykes and his group of guards. Elijah and Jasmine immediately charged at Lucas, but were halted by Note. Lucas began mocking his former victims by accusing them of having to sacrifice Brald in order to escape, which prompted Note to throw his sword at Lucas, cutting his ear in the process. While Lucas’s guards attempted to protect him, they were no match for Note’s overwhelming aura and strength. As Lucas stood in fear, when Note approached him, Kaspian begged Note not to harm Lucas before his trial. Note then retrieved his sword before Lucas was sent to the medical ward to have his ear treated. Arthur then asked Elijah and Jasmine to wait outside the office while he conversed with Kaspian. Following their conversation, Elijah, Arthur, and Jasmine left to eat before the trial was held.

Elijah and Jasmine reconvened with Arthur after the trial. Elijah questioned if Arthur wanted to visit Samantha but Arthur declined so as to keep her safe from the Wykes family.

Elijah attempted to bid farewell to Arthur and Jasmine, but Arthur asked if he would like to live with him and his family before starting school. When Elijah questioned what Arthur meant by attending school, he jokingly gave Elijah the definition of a school. An annoyed Elijah informed Arthur that he didn’t have any intentions of attending school. Arthur assures Elijah that he would be able to make a name for himself if he graduated from Xyrus Academy with him, and would even help him gain the tuition necessary to attend. While Elijah was still reluctant to accept, Arthur reminded him that he would be attending Xyrus Academy with Lucas Wykes, and asked if Elijah would be alright with leaving Arthur alone with the haughty noble, forcing Elijah to finally accept. Jasmine escorted Elijah to the Helstea Manor as Elijah thanked Arthur for his support.

### The Announcement at Etistin City

After being dropped off by Jasmine at the Helstea Manor, Elijah waited for Arthur to return home where together they conversed with both the Helstea family, and the Leywin family about what transpired in the Dire Tombs and their narrow escape from death at the hands of the Elderwood Guardian, though they excluded what happened with the mage Lucas Wykes. Later while taking a shower, Elijah was interrupted by Arthur who barged in to give him a set of clothes. Elijah was left embarrassed by Arthur's abrupt entrance, while Arthur mocked Elijah over how sensitive he was. As the two were forced to share a room together, Elijah put together a pillow wall to separate the bed as Elijah felt weird sharing a bed with a guy. Though he thought the wall was unnecessary, Arthur playfully joked with Elijah if he would prefer if Arthur was a girl he was sharing a bed with. As the boys laid in bed, Elijah could not help but feel excited over being able to attend Xyrus Academy and the prospect of meeting new mages, as well as hoping to find a girlfriend. Arthur on the other hand believed their first year might be boring as the both of them are well past the skill level of the normal first years. Elijah asked what Arthur was going to do about Lucas, to which Arthur revealed that for the time being he would keep his distance so long as he hid behind his family, but he would continue to train and grow stronger.

For the next few days, Elijah would continue to live with the Leywin and Helstea families as he prepared for Xyrus Academy. During that time a public announcement was to be held by not only the royal family of Sapin, but Elenoir and Darv as well, that was to be broadcasted live from Etisin City. As he, Arthur, and Vincent Helstea made their way towards the town square, Elijah took the time to visit the shops while Arthur and Vincent went to converse with an artificer. When they reconvened, the group witnessed a gang of nobles led by Jamiel Tridant, attacking a dwarf student of Xyrus Academy. Elijah immediately stepped in to stop the bullies. Tridant then struck Elijah for "interrupting his fun" as he and the rest of his entourage started attacking him as well. Not wanting to get Arthur and the Helstea family in trouble, Elijah opted not to fight back with magic. Before Tridant could attack Elijah, they were interrupted by Arthur as he approached the group with a broken broom in hand. Vincent tried to stop Arthur by dealing with the bullies himself, but was forced to let Arthur deal with the situation. Elijah watched with glee as Arthur subdued the arrogant nobles. As Elijah and Arthur attempted to walk away with the dwarf student, they were attacked from behind by Jamiel who used a water spell against them. Before either of them could defend themselves, they were suddenly saved by a wall of ice, conjured by Princess Kathlyn Glayder, who bore witness to the altercation along with her brother Curtis Glayder and their attendant.

Now faced with the heirs to the royal family, Jamiel tried to lie his way out, claiming he was defending himself from Arthur and Elijah, only for Vincent to confirm that it was Jamiel and his entourage who started the altercation by attacking the dwarf boy. While Kathlyn wanted to punish the group, Curtis attempted to defuse the situation due to House Tridant's connection to the royal family and Xyrus Academy. Arthur however, took the opportunity to call Director Cynthia Goodsky to inform her of what her students had done. Cynthia then promptly expelled the children on the spot. With the children properly punished, Elijah watched as Princess Kathlyn asked Arthur if he would join her for tea, dumbfounded by what he witnessed. The three then made their way to the town square where they met Arthur's family. Elijah then witnessed the broadcast where the royal families revealed their discovery of another continent. The royal families then explained how they needed to unify now more than ever and in their attempt to do so they have spent the last few years solidifying their unification with the interracial tournament, the ban on Dwarfs and Elves becoming Adventurers lifted, and Xyrus Academy now accepting children of all three kingdoms. The royal families then presented six individual warriors who would act as representatives of their kingdoms and their defenders, one of which was Bairon Wykes, concerning Elijah.

Elijah was present for Eleanor's birthday party where he attempted to flirt with the ladies present, only for him to embarrass himself by spilling his drink on his shirt. Elijah then glared at Arthur who pretended he did not see. The next day, Elijah and Arthur received their uniforms for Xyrus Academy.

## Season 4

### School Days in Xyrus Academy

On their first day of orientation, Elijah spent the morning trying to wake Arthur so they wouldn't be late, only to disturb Sylvie who attacked Elijah in retaliation. Once the two were up, Elijah expressed his surprise at Arthur's choice in attending Xyrus Academy as a scholar mage rather than a battle mage, as he could easily take the scholar courses as electives. Arthur however, retorts that since he is far stronger than most of the students at Xyrus Academy, he won't be able to learn much. Elijah gave Arthur one more warning that scholar mages are looked down on in Xyrus Academy. When asked if Elijah was worried about his safety, Elijah merely responded that he was more worried about what Arthur would do to whoever tried to bully him. After a brief breakfast with the Leywin family, and having his face healed by Alice, Elijah and Arthur took off for Xyrus Academy.

Once on school grounds, Elijah and Arthur made their way towards the central building for orientation. Once inside, Elijah and Arthur made their way to the auditorium for the entrance ceremony, held by Director Goodsky. The Director immediately used her sound magic to silence the talkative crowd as she made her opening speech as well as introduce the student council, lead by their president Tessia Eralith, whom Elijah fell head over heels for. Though Arthur points out he said the same thing to the last four girls they met on their way to the auditorium, but Elijah declares Tessia is different. When Arthur points out how much she has changed, Elijah is once again surprised that Arthur knows another princess, demanding to know where his invitation to the beautiful people mixer went.

With orientation concluded, Elijah and Arthur made their way to the dorms where they stumbled upon two students, a human named Nicolas Dreyl and a dwarf named Broznean Boor, initiating a duel. When the duel concluded in Nicolas's victory, the sinister noble attempted to cripple Broznean while he was down. Before Elijah could step in and stop Nicolas, he was already interrupted by Arthur, who proclaimed Tessia was walking their way, annoying Elijah as he stole his thunder. When Nicolas attempted to retaliate against Arthur, they were suddenly interrupted by Tessia along with Lilia Helstea and student council vice president Clive Graves. Tessia warned Nicolas that such behavior was inexcusable and that his actions would be reported as she ordered him to leave. Elijah then watched as Tessia and Arthur argued over the incident as well as Arthur throwing Clive away when he grabbed Arthur. Elijah apologized to Tessia as he and Arthur then took their leave.

Later in their dorms, Elijah and Arthur were personally visited by Director Goodsky who wished to speak to Arthur. Elijah went to get them refreshments while the two conversed, and upon his return discovered that Arthur would be joining the Disciplinary Committee. As she took her leave, Cynthia also expressed that Arthur should quickly make up with Tessia, seeing as how they were childhood friends, further shocking Elijah.

While having dinner, Elijah and Arthur talked more about his relationship with Tessia, where Elijah admits he too has a childhood friend named Helgarth. Elijah further expressed his jealousy at how many women Arthur is associated with, theorizing that Arthur "oozes attractive phermones" while clinging to Arthur, hoping to gain some for himself, before Arthur quickly walked away. When the students took notice of Arthur, having learned about his altercation with the student council, Elijah told Arthur not to worry about dumb rumors, only for Arthur to make light of the situation, declaring he was now so popular. They were then approached by another noble student named Charles Ravenpor II, who tried to persuade Elijah not to associate himself with Arthur and even offered to make him his underling. Elijah however, immediatley declined Charles's offer, as well as mocked the arrogant noble by mispronouncing his name as 'Ravenpoop'. Insulted, Charles knocked away Elijah's tray and attempted to strike Arthur, only for Arthur to quickly deflect Ravenpor's fist while he carelessly continued to eat. As Ravenpoor attempted to strike Arthur, Elijah stepped in the way to defend him, only for Ravenpor to suddenly be restrained in vines. Elijah then watched as Arthur debagged Ravenpor as everyone laughed at the humiliated noble.

Elijah later ran into Arthur to inform him that Charles had managed to break free, only to find Arthur snuggling with Tessia Eralith. Elijah left the two alone while he returned to their dorm. Once Arthur returned to their dorm, he was frightened to find Elijah curled up on his bed as he interrogated Arthur over how close he really was to Tessia, while proclaiming her as the Lunar Goddess of Xyrus Academy.

On their first day of school, Elijah and Arthur shared their first class together in Fundamentals of Mana Theory, led by Professor Avius. The two would reconvene later at lunch where Elijah introduced to Arthur a girl named Charlotte who he met in Chain-Casting Class. Elijah learned from Arthur that he would be taking over as professor of Practical Mana Manipulation, causing Elijah to spit out his water at Arthur. Elijah offered Arthur to go downtown with him and Charlotte but Arthur declined, as well as Charlotte as she wanted to go with Arthur in the first place. When Elijah asked Arthur if he thought he might have a chance with Charlotte, Arthur comforted his friend and told him that he could do better. Elijah later learned that Arthur was injured in Team-Fighting Mechanics I and was left bedridden as a result. Elijah would visit Arthur from time to time. Over time, as Arthur began to recover, Elijah would join Arthur in his private training room as well as spar with his android Tobi, created by Professor Gideon.

### **The Beast Glades Excursion**

In the days leading up to Arthur's trip to the Beast Glades, Elijah continued to train with Arthur against the Tobi's. On one such occasion, Arthur and Elijah began sparring with practice swords. Arthur was surprised at Elijah's natural ability to wield a sword, but was still not as capable as Arthur, as he knocked Elijah over. When Arthur stretched his hand out to Elijah to help him up however, Elijah suddenly began having painful flashes of his memories as well as negative emotions. Despite Arthur's insistence in taking him to the medical ward, Elijah assured that he was fine as he took his leave to their dorm. As time passed, Elijah would distance himself from Arthur.

Elijah unfortunately learned from Claire Bladeheart of Arthur getting separated from the rest of his class due to the abnormal behavior of the mana beasts within the dungeon they explored. Despite Director Goodsky telling him not to worry, Elijah spent the entire time restless as he worried over his friend's whereabouts. When Arthur finally returned to Xyrus the next day, he embraced Arthur without a word. Despite wanting to see everyone, Arthur asked Elijah if he could inform the Disciplinary Committee of his status, to which Elijah agreed to do.
