Name: Ashton Vargas Subject: Physical Education (Flight, etc.) Birthday: August 4th (Leo) Age: 30 Height: 174cm Dominant Hand: Right Homeland: Queendom of Roses School Club: Magift Club Hobby: Muscle training Dislikes: Reading Favorite Food: Raw eggs Disliked Food: Broccoli Specialty: Cracking walnuts with his fingers A teacher at Night Raven College. He teaches Physical Education. His personal logo is a horned beast (likely a moose). He educates students based on his own mysterious muscle theories, starting with "Magic comes from muscles!" While it seems nonsensical at first glance, he claims that training increases concentration, which in turn allows for the use of difficult magic. That is the logic behind his personal doctrine that magic is muscle. He is also a narcissist who often indulges in self-praise and intoxication with his own physique. According to him, he has muscles because he drinks raw eggs every day. He has a stiflingly intense personality, and because of this, he is shunned by many students (especially those who are unathletic like Azul, or those who dislike overbearing intensity like Ace). However, he seems completely unaware of this fact. When the Headmage mentioned having stiff shoulders in front of him, he recommended muscle training; when the Headmage declined, he reportedly pushed the suggestion aggressively, telling him not to be modest. However, he isn't universally hated, as students with athletic backgrounds like Deuce and Jack agree with him. Some even look up to him with admiration. Perhaps because he is a teacher, he is evaluated as being annoying but not irresponsible. Even the Headmage trails off when describing him, saying, "He's not a bad person, but..." Trein appreciates his enthusiasm (though he is apparently annoyed by the way Vargas blows his whistle every time he gives a warning). Despite being a teacher at a magic academy, he dislikes using magic or using wit to get by with minimal effort; he emphasizes hard work, stamina, and physical strength above all else. Consequently, he was furious when Idia tried to use "clever methods that don't use strength or stamina" for running. (Though to be fair, that method involved relying entirely on others.) He also doesn't try to read books much, believing that books are only good for use as dumbbells. Incidentally, he is the youngest among the full-time faculty. According to Crewel, he looks like a different person when he lets his hair down. Apparently, after working up a sweat and taking a shower, he was once mistaken for a stranger while walking around. It was revealed during exams that, unlike Crewel, he is not an NRC alumnus. However, he knew the school well during his student days. According to him, he played against them many times in Magift matches. Appearance: He is the epitome of an athlete, with an inverted triangle, muscular physique. He has a goatee, and his hair is slicked back, likely with pomade. He wears a gold whistle around his neck and a red tracksuit with a moose mark on the left chest. According to him, he has to have his clothes custom-made because no standard sizes fit his trained body. On his left wrist, he wears a bracelet adorned with a golden arrow, featuring an arrowhead-shaped red magic stone at the tip.
