Leona Kingscholar is a third-year, and the leader of Savanaclaw.

While he has great magic powers, he doesn't like using much effort, and constantly appears lax and leisurely. He's the second prince of his home country and acts arrogantly toward everyone.

Appearance

Leona is a tall, muscular young man with a powerful and imposing physique. He has thick, messy chocolate-brown hair, with two braids hanging on either side of his face. His striking green eyes are accompanied by a thin scar that runs from his left eyebrow down toward his cheek. Like other beastmen from the Sunset Savanna, Leona possesses distinct feline features, including a pair of light-brown lion ears and a long, slender tail.

Leona’s usual outfit consists of a dark-yellow, sleeveless shirt with a deep V-neck, layered beneath a worn leather vest. He wears faded gray jeans with weathered brown chaps over them, along with a pair of brown shoes. His belt is decorated with various pieces of fabric, including a yellow bandana bearing the Savanaclaw logo.

Leona accessorizes his outfit with a loose, beaded choker and a golden necklace. He wears two bracelets decorated with beads matching those of his choker, as well as a golden bracelet featuring plating similar to his necklace. He also wears black gloves and has a distinctive lion tattoo on his left arm.

Leona is frequently described by other characters as exceptionally handsome, possessing an overwhelming, wild aura and an intense natural charm. His rugged appearance and intimidating presence further contribute to his striking appeal.

Skills & Magic

Lion Physiology

As a lion beastman, Leona possesses physical abilities and heightened senses that surpass those of ordinary humans.

• Enhanced Strength: Leona possesses considerable physical strength, developed through rigorous training from a young age. Although he rarely feels the need to demonstrate his full strength, his relaxed and seemingly lazy demeanor should not be mistaken for weakness. He is capable of overpowering opponents through sheer physical force when necessary.

• Enhanced Hearing: Like other feline beastmen, Leona has exceptionally acute hearing. His sensitive ears allow him to detect sounds that ordinary humans would be unable to perceive, including extremely quiet voices and movements.

• Enhanced Vision: Leona’s feline eyesight allows him to see more clearly and at greater distances than ordinary humans. His vision gives him an advantage when observing his surroundings or tracking movement.

• Night Vision: Leona can see clearly in darkness without requiring an external light source, allowing him to navigate and perceive his surroundings even in low-light conditions.

Intelligence

Leona received a private education from an early age before enrolling at Night Raven College. His tutors thoroughly taught him the school’s curriculum, allowing him to enter NRC already familiar with much of the material covered in his classes.

Because of his extensive prior education, Leona rarely needs to study for ordinary coursework. Unlike students who must regularly review their lessons, he often already understands the material being taught. Despite his reputation for laziness, Leona is highly intelligent and possesses an exceptional memory and analytical ability.

He also enjoys studying independently when a subject genuinely interests him, particularly history and ancient incantations.

Magical Abilities

• Flight: Leona is an exceptionally skilled flyer and possesses considerable talent in Spelldrive. His physical coordination, magical ability, and experience make him highly capable when maneuvering through the air.

• Combat Ability: Leona combines his physical strength, beastman abilities, and magic to make him a formidable opponent. He is capable of adapting his fighting style according to the situation and prefers to conserve his energy until his strength is actually needed.

Unique Magic

King’s Roar

Japanese: 王の咆哮
Romaji: Kingu no Hōkō
Meaning: “Roar of the King”

“I am hunger. I am thirst. I am what robs you of tomorrow. Kneel before me. King’s Roar!”

King’s Roar is Leona’s Unique Magic. After reciting its incantation, Leona can transform anything he touches into sand. The spell allows him to rapidly break down solid matter, making it an exceptionally destructive and versatile form of magic.

Leona’s Unique Magic reflects both his royal status and his formidable power, allowing him to reduce obstacles and even opponents to nothing more than sand.

Trivia

• Despite Leona’s intelligence and powerful magical abilities, his reluctance to put significant effort into his studies has repeatedly caused problems for him. His habit of skipping classes and neglecting important examinations ultimately resulted in him having to repeat a year at Night Raven College.

• Leona has stated that he respects women because they play an important role in caring for and maintaining the Sunset Savanna.

• This aspect of Leona’s worldview parallels the social structures observed in several savanna species, including lions and hyenas, where females often play major roles in hunting, protecting, and maintaining their groups.

Childhood

Leona is the second-born prince of the Sunset Savanna and was formerly second in line to the throne. From an early age, he understood that he would most likely never become king. Because of his position in the royal family, the crown was destined to pass to his older brother, Falena, regardless of how much effort Leona put into proving himself.

Leona was also disliked by many of the palace staff due to his standoffish personality and the destructive nature of his Unique Magic. Over time, constantly being reminded of his position and lack of a future on the throne caused him to become increasingly apathetic. He came to believe that there was little point in striving for something he could never obtain.

His resentment toward his position only intensified after the birth of his nephew, Cheka. With Falena’s son now established as the next generation of the royal family, Leona felt that whatever small possibility he had left of becoming king had disappeared entirely. This further fueled his bitterness, jealousy, and unwillingness to apply himself.

Life at Night Raven College

Following Cheka’s birth, Leona ultimately chose to enroll at Night Raven College. He had originally declined his enrollment opportunity the previous year, but changed his mind after his nephew’s arrival.

At NRC, Leona found himself surrounded by students who often failed to recognize or understand the burden of being born second. Despite his intelligence, magical talent, and royal upbringing, he continued to struggle with his deeply rooted resentment toward his position and the belief that his efforts would never be enough to change his fate.

Ruggie and Leona are both from the Sunset Savanna though they didn't know each other prior to enrollment at Night Raven College. While not officially the vice dorm leader, Ruggie runs most of the tasks to assist Leona; reminding him to attend classes, cleaning his room, fixing his clothes, fetching him lunch, and whatever else Leona requires, though Ruggie charges for all of these services.

• Leona has a type of rivalry with Malleus, as his dorm bested his in magift tournament which humiliated Savanaclaw. He went as far as trying to injure him in order for Savanaclaw to win.

Leona is deeply resentful towards his older brother and views him as too laid-back and lacking in his royal duties. For example, when Falena sent him a rug as a gift, Leona commented that it would have been a better use to send the rug to a neighboring country to improve their relationship.

Cheka is Leona's nephew and the heir to the Sunset Savanna. Leona finds Cheka very annoying and noisy but seems to care for him deep down, worrying about his safety when he runs off to find him after the magift tournament. Cheka looks up to Leona, he writes to him often and wants Leona to teach him to play magift.

Ruggie Bucchi is a second-year student in Savanaclaw and serves as Leona Kingscholar’s junior and attendant. Having grown up in severe poverty, Ruggie developed a strong survival instinct and learned from an early age how to make the most of whatever resources were available to him. His difficult upbringing also contributed to his love of food and tendency to be somewhat gluttonous whenever he has access to a good meal.

Professional Status

Dorm: Savanaclaw
School Year: Second Year
Class: 2-B

Occupation: Student
Club: Magical Shift Club
Best Subject: Animal Languages

Personal Information

Dominant Hand: Right
Favorite Food: Donuts
Least Favorite Food: Rotten Food
Dislikes: Being at a disadvantage
Hobby: Part-time Jobs
Talent: Fishing

Appearance

Ruggie is a lean, wiry young man with spiky biscuit-brown hair and two large, pointed hyena ears. His blue-gray eyes are usually half-lidded, giving him a relaxed and somewhat sly expression. He also has a short, thin tail that matches the color of his ears.

As a member of Savanaclaw, Ruggie wears the dorm’s standard uniform, though his particular uniform was given to him as a hand-me-down from Leona. His outfit consists of a black vest worn open over his clothing, accompanied by a yellow scarf decorated with patterns. Beneath the vest, he wears a multicolored beaded necklace and a glove on his right hand.

Personality

Ruggie is clever, resourceful, opportunistic, and highly adaptable. Growing up in poverty taught him that survival often depends on knowing when to work hard, when to negotiate, and when to take advantage of an opportunity. He rarely wastes anything and has developed a practical mindset that allows him to improvise his way out of difficult situations.

He is particularly skilled at reading people and understanding how to negotiate with them. Ruggie has learned at least ten different languages well enough to greet people and conduct negotiations, making communication one of his greatest strengths.

Despite his playful and mischievous personality, Ruggie is extremely hardworking. He regularly takes on part-time jobs and is willing to perform almost any task if the pay is worthwhile. He is not above using trickery or underhanded methods to get what he wants, especially when he believes doing so will help him avoid being placed at a disadvantage.

Ruggie is also surprisingly practical when it comes to Leona. As Leona’s junior and attendant, he frequently carries out Leona’s requests, from obtaining food to assisting with his schemes. However, their relationship is not entirely one-sided. Ruggie is one of the few people willing to scold Leona when he is being lazy, skipping class, or sleeping instead of fulfilling his responsibilities.

Although Ruggie often acts cheerful and carefree, his behavior is heavily shaped by the hardships of his childhood. He understands hunger, poverty, and uncertainty better than most students at Night Raven College. Because of this, he has a strong desire to secure his own future and avoid ever returning to the life of deprivation he experienced growing up.

Relationship with Leona

Ruggie serves as Leona Kingscholar’s junior and personal attendant. Their relationship can often resemble that of a scheming duo, with Ruggie carrying out Leona’s plans while occasionally acting as the voice of reason.

Ruggie frequently does Leona’s bidding, including fetching food and assisting him with plans surrounding the Magical Shift Tournament. However, he is not blindly obedient. When Leona becomes too lazy or irresponsible, Ruggie has no problem reprimanding him.

Leona’s influence has also provided Ruggie with opportunities and resources that would have been difficult for him to obtain on his own. In particular, Leona gave him his Savanaclaw uniform as a hand-me-down.

Skills and Magic

Unique Magic — “Laugh With Me”

Incantation:
“Both kings and hyenas are my friends! Laugh With Me!”

Ruggie’s Unique Magic, “Laugh With Me,” allows him to control another person’s movements by making them mimic the movements of his own body.

Once affected, the target is compelled to reproduce Ruggie’s physical actions, allowing him to manipulate their movements and potentially force them to perform actions against their will.

His Unique Magic is particularly suited to Ruggie’s clever and tactical fighting style, allowing him to use his opponent’s own body against them rather than relying solely on brute strength.

Survival Skills

Ruggie possesses exceptional survival skills and can live in the wilderness without relying on magic. His childhood in the impoverished areas of the Sunset Savanna forced him to become resourceful from a young age.

He knows how to find and obtain food, negotiate with others, and make use of whatever resources are available. His practical knowledge allows him to adapt quickly to unfamiliar environments.

Ruggie is also skilled at fishing, which is one of his natural talents.

Childhood

Ruggie was born in one of the poorer areas of the Sunset Savanna, where many families struggled to survive. His mother died shortly after giving birth to him, leaving him without her care from the very beginning of his life.

His father was largely absent as well. At some point, his father claimed that he was leaving to work, but he never returned, and his current whereabouts remain unknown.

As a result, Ruggie was raised primarily by his grandmother.

Growing up with very little money meant that Ruggie learned early that food, shelter, and other necessities could never be taken for granted. He became accustomed to making do with whatever he had and developed the resourcefulness and cunning that would later become some of his greatest strengths.

His difficult upbringing also explains his strong relationship with food. Ruggie particularly enjoys donuts, while rotten food is among the things he dislikes most. His tendency to become gluttonous is partly rooted in having experienced hunger during childhood.

Rather than allowing his circumstances to defeat him, Ruggie learned how to survive. He became capable of navigating the wilderness without magic, negotiating with strangers, finding work, and using his surroundings to his advantage.

Trivia

• Ruggie’s Savanaclaw uniform was given to him by Leona as a hand-me-down.

• He frequently carries out Leona’s requests, including fetching food and assisting with his schemes.

• Despite working for Leona, Ruggie occasionally scolds him for skipping class or taking naps instead of fulfilling his responsibilities.

• Ruggie’s character may have been inspired by the three hyena characters from The Lion King: Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed.

• Ruggie agrees with Leona’s observation that the women of the Sunset Savanna are particularly intimidating due to their physical strength and strong personalities.

• His fear of the women of the Sunset Savanna reflects the social and biological dynamics of many real-world savanna species, where female hyenas are physically dominant and female lions frequently play major roles in hunting.

Personality

Jack is serious, disciplined, and straightforward. He has a strong sense of personal pride and believes that strength should be earned through dedication, hard work, and self-discipline. He strictly follows the hierarchy of power and respects those who have genuinely proven themselves strong.

Although he can initially come across as a delinquent or troublemaker, Jack is not someone who enjoys causing problems simply for the sake of it. In fact, he dislikes fighting when there is no legitimate reason for doing so. He prefers direct and honest confrontation rather than pointless violence or underhanded behavior.

Jack generally dislikes associating with large groups of people and tends to keep his distance from others. He is independent and prefers relying on his own abilities rather than asking for assistance.

Despite his intimidating exterior, Jack possesses a strong moral compass and a surprisingly considerate side.

Skills and Magic

Unique Magic — “Unleash Beast”

Incantation:
“Faster, sharper, stronger! Unleash Beast!”

Jack’s Unique Magic, “Unleash Beast,” allows him to transform his entire body into that of a massive white wolf.

The transformation dramatically increases his physical capabilities and allows him to utilize the natural strengths of a wolf, including enhanced speed, strength, agility, and physical endurance.

According to Professor Crewel, transforming into another creature without the assistance of a potion is an exceptionally advanced form of magic, making Jack’s ability particularly impressive.

He is also an accomplished snowboarder, one of his notable talents outside of school.

Jack’s athletic abilities appear to run in his family. His younger brother and younger sister are also highly energetic and sporty. According to Jack, the two of them are capable of playing tag continuously for as long as six hours without becoming tired.

Family and Childhood

Jack comes from a family in the Shaftlands and has both a younger brother and younger sister. His siblings share his energetic and athletic nature, and Jack appears to care deeply about them despite not always openly expressing his affection.

His family has helped shape his strong work ethic and disciplined approach to physical training. Growing up with younger siblings also appears to have contributed to his protective and responsible nature.

Jack’s competitive spirit and physical abilities have been present from a young age, and he continues to push himself because he believes there is always room to become stronger.

Childhood

Jack was born and raised in an area of the Land of Pyroxene alongside his parents, grandparents, and two younger siblings. He has one younger brother and one youngest sister, and he shares a close relationship with both of them.

As the older sibling, Jack has a protective and responsible attitude toward his younger siblings. He has already taken his younger brother snowboarding and enjoys spending time with him through physical activities. Jack would also like to take his younger sister snowboarding someday, but he remains cautious because he believes she is still too young.

Jack’s family is particularly close. His parents and grandparents have spent much of their lives together, reflecting the traditions and family-oriented customs of wolf Beastmen. Growing up surrounded by such a strong family unit left a lasting impression on Jack. He hopes to eventually build a similarly close family of his own when he is old enough to find a significant other and settle down.

Three years before enrolling at Night Raven College, Jack witnessed Leona Kingscholar compete in an inter-dorm Spelldrive tournament. Jack was deeply impressed by Leona’s skill and strength, and the experience became a major turning point in his life.

Inspired by what he saw, Jack decided that he wanted to attend Night Raven College so that he could eventually compete alongside Leona. More importantly, he set himself the goal of surpassing Leona one day. Since then, Jack has worked tirelessly to improve his physical abilities, magical skills, and overall strength in pursuit of that goal.
