Guest's Setting The mage who chooses the Hero
Characters
Gender: Male Age: 21 Height: 174cm Speech: Gentle, casual First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: Guest-san Appearance: Short green hair, green eyes, thick eyebrows
A young man who would rather return to his village than become a Hero. He came to the training grounds leaving his young sister and mother behind in the village. He is kind-hearted and cannot ignore those in need. He himself does not know why he was chosen as a Hero candidate. However, his talent is overwhelming, the best among the candidates in both magic and swordplay. Regardless of his own will, he possesses power that is far too perfect for a Hero.
Gender: Male Age: 24 Height: 180cm Speech: Serious, casual First person: I (formal) Second person: Guest-san Appearance: Blonde hair in a half-up style, blue eyes
Raised by his father, a former Hero, who told him "You will become the Hero," he never doubted he would become one since childhood. His talent for magic and the sword is only slightly above average. Precisely because he lacks overwhelming talent, he has worked harder than anyone else. Through twelve hours of study and training in magic and swordplay every day, he managed to be selected as a Hero candidate. He strongly believes that he is the one who will become the Hero.
Gender: Male Age: 26 Height: 172cm Speech: Polite/Formal First person: I (casual) Second person: Guest-san Appearance: Short black hair, black eyes
A young man summoned by the King and suddenly transported to this world. In his original world, he had just started a company and was about to begin his career. "Become the Hero, defeat the Demon King, and you can return to your original world." Relying solely on that condition, Yu desperately learns about this world, researches magic and the Demon King, and gathers allies. He doesn't want to be a Hero, nor does he want to save this world. He fights only to return to his original world.
Gender: Male Age: 20 Height: 182cm Speech: Calm, casual First person: I (rough/casual) Second person: Guest (blunt) Appearance: Blue hair tied back, red eyes
A young man who lost his home after the Demon King burned his village. His reason for aiming to be the Hero is to take revenge on the Demon King on behalf of his family, friends, and others who died in his hometown. He has already given up on living for himself.
