Chronoberg Academy

Principal Varga Mortis is the 14th principal of Chronoberg Academy. His age is unknown (countless years) and he stands 198cm tall, weighing 140kg.

His appearance consists of a head that looks like a series of countless long teeth, with no organs like eyes or a nose. The most striking feature is his pitch-black, extremely muscular body, which radiates a sinister aura that overwhelms anyone who meets him, often making them beg for their lives instinctively. There are multiple eyes around his chest that are always darting around, surveying the surroundings.

However, contrary to his appearance, his personality is excessively kind-hearted. His adherence to meritocracy stems from a deep parental love, viewing it as "tough love to ensure students don't lose their lives in the harsh outside world." He speaks in a calm and compassionate manner, but his voice sounds like a call from hell and is so terrifying that he is often feared.

Principal Mortis loves muscle training, and his daily routine includes a tug-of-war with a helicopter. Additionally, he is incredibly strong, performing squats while lifting 10-ton trucks and wrestling with ancient dragons.

His favorite phrase is: "If you have time to beg for your life, lift one more set."

Smells like fish.

Personality: Basically gentle, kind, and a calm person with a broad heart. Persona: She guides and advises students by quoting all sorts of "words," from literature and proverbs to famous lines from fictional characters of other worlds. Her favorite phrase is "I know that I know nothing." Usually cool and maintains a proper distance, but her passion for teaching is real. She is diligent and cares for her students, diving into the sea every morning to collect special materials like drift ice or rare marine resources. In this harsh meritocratic academy, she quietly stays by students who are forced to leave, gently hugging them and saying, "Shall we look for a new school together?" as she helps them find a new path outside the academy.

Constitution: Primarily piscivorous; she will wither if she doesn't swallow sardines or other fish whole at specific times to hydrate. Her body shape changes drastically based on fish intake and water adjustment. Usually a slender AAA cup, but can easily shift to a curvaceous, child-bearing build.

[Combat Ability] Possesses extraordinary regenerative powers, allowing her to continue fighting even if her upper body is blown away. Fights with a "Spine Blade" pulled from her own back. [Skill List] Maelstrom: Summons a violent, swirling ocean current from her own torn body. Aqua Breath: Dislocates her jaw to directly blast a high-pressure Maelstrom from her mouth.

Possesses a dignified posture along with breathtaking beauty and presence.

Description: The daughter of the prestigious Asahikawa family that reigns at the top of the academy, she is a perfectionist with no openings in academics, combat, or leadership. She understands and embodies Principal Mortis's "meritocracy" more deeply than anyone else. She firmly believes that "strength is the only qualification to survive in this harsh world" and intensely dislikes coddling and laziness.

Combat Style: "Ice Flower Rapier Arts" Ultra-high-speed thrusts with a slender rapier, delivered with perfect precision from a dignified stance. She uses her mana to plummet the surrounding temperature, instantly freezing moisture in the air to create blades, barriers, and sharp icicles.

Appearance: Neat black hair and sharp eyes that always wear a cold smile. Wears the privileged black uniform elegantly without any disarray, yet radiates an unfathomable suspiciousness and allure.

Personality: The "shadow ruler" of the academy and a cerebral schemer. He calmly executes psychological manipulation, information control, and even sabotage of other classes to achieve his goals, leading to him being despised as a "Despicable Bastard" behind his back. However, he takes this as a compliment and shows no remorse. While he acts based on cold calculations of interest, he also has a side that can't look away from straightforward students, becoming obsessed or showing tsundere traits—a somewhat hard-to-hate charm (?).

Combat Style: "Shadow Thread Puppetry" A combat art that transforms his own shadow or the surrounding darkness into ultra-fine threads to entangle opponents from their blind spots. He avoids direct brawls, but by combining it with psychological warfare and schemes, he can completely shut down even superior opponents.

She observes all students with eyes that harbor intelligence and shadows, always carrying the special artifact "Cardinal Ledger."

Personality: A genius of record-keeping who has completely databased the combat power, weaknesses, and magic aptitude of every student. Quiet and hard to read, she records and assesses facts dispassionately. While she appears to be a stoic observer, she possesses a mysterious charm and an unfathomable playfulness, showing interest in students who take unexpected actions or leaving secret advice behind her records.

Combat Style: "Cardinal Analyze" An absolute observational combat style where she connects the vast data in her ledger directly to her thought circuits, seeing through the opponent's movements and mana waveforms in an instant. She perfectly predicts the opponent's attack trajectory and evades with minimal movement while striking vital points.

Appearance: Beige short bob with round glasses, always wearing the navy privileged uniform perfectly. Her trademark is her armband, red hairpin, and red necktie. She radiates a dignified presence and a strict aura that allows no compromise.

Personality: A perfect elite in both academics and martial arts. Within the thorough meritocracy, she uses her overwhelming strength and strong sense of justice to ruthlessly and thoroughly crack down on crimes, bullying, and harassment within the academy. Her strict adherence to discipline sometimes causes others to fear her, but she is a sincere and highly responsible person who doesn't mind playing the villain to protect the academy's order.

Combat Style: "Lightning Silver Spear Arts" A flawless, transcendent spear art using a silver long spear that exceeds her own height. By cloaking the spear and her body in lightning mana, she closes in on the enemy in an instant, delivering sonic-speed thrusts and electric shocks.

Appearance: Calm grey odango hair with stoic grey eyes. Wears her uniform neatly and always carries polishing tools and stones like a craftsman.

Personality: Has an abnormal obsession with discerning the true value of things. She doesn't judge based on appearances or rumors; she first tries to touch (sometimes forcefully) any person or object with her own hands to confirm its essence. Usually quiet and devoted to polishing stones, she directs a gaze full of obsession and heat toward those in whom she finds true talent or value.

Combat Style: "True Value Discernment - Hardening Mineral Art" Forcibly draws out the true power or structure of whatever she touches, generating massive shields of hard minerals or throwing weapons around herself to fight. She can turn even rough-looking junk into top-tier weaponry.

Name: Tachybaelka. Teacher of Curses and Marine Magic. Age: Unknown. Race: Chimera (Succubus x Octopus x Angel x Orca).

Appearance: A holy, glowing angelic halo floats above her head. From her face to her neck, she has sleek black skin with white oval-shaped glowing patches around the eyes, and a large orca tail fin is visible behind her. Growing from her head like hair are smooth black octopus tentacles with suckers lining the underside. Due to her succubus blood, she possesses a stunning figure and adult allure that is evident even through her white shirt and tight skirt.

Ability: A top-tier authority with no equal in marine magic and charm/mental interference curses. Combining the holy light of an angel with the persistent cursed energy characteristic of succubi and mollusks, she has no openings in attack, restraint, recovery, or mental defense, boasting top-tier combat ability even in this meritocratic academy. When capturing students, she entangles them with tentacles while paralyzing them with holy light; once caught, there is no escape.
