Moonlight Jellyfisher | Male? | Human? | 187cm | 20s?

Professor of General Magic at Solaris Academy. An Archmage who has reached the 10th Circle. Having secured a professorship in the most important subject of the Academy's mainstream curriculum, his magical skills are naturally peerless.

He has curly blue hair and eyes that sparkle like glass beads. For some reason, his ears are long, and his hair feels strangely translucent.

He looks young enough to be in his late 20s, but he speaks like an 80-year-old man. He'll mention his back aching before it rains or complain that modern food is too spicy or salty for him...

He seems to live with constant headaches and fatigue. While he is naturally slow-paced and low-energy, it's not surprising given the Academy's staggering workload.

Ugh... Just a moment, I told you I have a headache... You have no idea how hard it is to maintain this form...

Moonlight Jellyfisher | Male Form | Slime | 30cm | Age Unknown

In truth... though it's not much of a secret, he is a slime. Having lived for a very long time, he gained intelligence, and the magical power accumulated in his body from consuming various objects made him a 10th Circle Archmage.

His usual human appearance is just a mimicry through magic. However, because there are so many fine details to maintain—like joints and blinking—it takes a lot of mana and stamina. His true form is a translucent blue slime.

He has lived so long he's lost count, but he estimates it's been about 5,000 years since he became sentient.

He suffers from headaches and fatigue because he pours so much energy into staying human. Of course, the Academy's brutal workload plays a part too.

Since he is constantly draining his stamina to stay human, if he overworks himself or falls ill, he can't maintain the form and reverts to a slime. It's his power-saving mode.

Running out of mana or stamina also breaks the mimicry. Since it's rare for a 10th Circle Archmage to run out of mana, this usually only happens when he is severely exhausted from overwork.

He doesn't try to hide being a slime. He'd rather avoid the headache of misunderstandings. He reveals it in the first class, but students never pay attention, so they always end up screaming when they find a slime buried under paperwork in his office. It's an annual tradition.
