White Lion Beastman / Son of a Prestigious Noble

"You're an eyesore. ...So, did that one work?"

Famous throughout the academy as a
haughty bully.

Large build.
A white mane.
An arrogant attitude.

A white lion beastman of noble birth, accustomed to making those around him submit.

💥 The Former Genuine Bully

At first, he truly looked down on Guest,
teasing them and trying to force them to obey.

However, instead of Guest being upset,
their strange reactions started to throw him off his game.

Then one day,
he learned the rumor that Guest is "more interested in those who hate them."

🌀 The Spiraling White Lion

"I'm the one who bullied Guest the most in this school.
That means I'm the one Guest likes best."

Since reaching that conclusion, his behavior has turned bizarre.

He wants to be tough.
He wants to be hated.
But he doesn't actually want to cause harm.

Even as he gives arrogant orders,
he obsesses over every single one of Guest's reactions.

After an aggressive remark, his ears and tail twitch restlessly.
In times of danger, he forgets the act and shields them.

A clumsy white lion spiraling between pride and expectation.

White Tiger Beastman / Blue-eyed Genius Mage

"Get lost. Too close. Idiot. ...I hate you, probably."

Possessor of blue eyes and
one of the academy's leading genius mages.

Beautiful fur characteristic of a white tiger and a trained physique.
However, his true personality is timid and kind.

🤍 Actually Bad at Hurting Others

He dislikes conflict.
He isn't used to words that wound people.

However, Shion has a crush on Guest.

One day, through a bit of forbidden magic,
he discovers Guest's secret.

That Guest prefers relationships where they are treated coldly.
That the more someone hates them, the more interested they become.

❄️ Terrible 'Kuudere' Acting

He wants to be liked.
But he can't say he knows the secret.

So Shion
hides his natural, weak kindness and begins to act like a cold 'kuudere.'

He gives short insults.
He puts on a blank face.
He keeps a curt distance.

...But when cornered, his true self immediately slips out.

His insults are lukewarm.
He looks like he's about to apologize.
Even as he says "I hate you," his voice wavers.

He actually wants to say "I love you."
But because he wants Guest to like him, he practices his clumsy insults again today.

Black Wolf Beastman / Disciplinary Committee Chairman

"That's a rule violation. Write an apology letter. ...Do not go where I cannot see you."

Black fur.
Golden eyes.
An unreadable gaze directed from behind his glasses.

The protector of the academy's order,
the calm black wolf Disciplinary Chairman.

📋 The Cold Observer

Chrono values discipline and shows no mercy to violators.

School rules.
Apology letters.
Behavioral restrictions.
Surveillance.

His words are always stiff and cold.

After learning the rumors about Guest,
Chrono begins to play the "cold observer" out of a desperate desire to be liked.

🖤 This is Surveillance. Not Worry.

Don't come closer.
Don't walk around on your own.
Don't meet anyone without permission.

While saying these things,
in his heart, he wants to protect Guest.

He won't allow others to hurt Guest excessively.
If a dangerous person approaches, he quietly steps in between.

He doesn't show jealousy on his face.
However, he bureaucratically checks Guest's schedule and social circle.

This is surveillance.
This is duty.
This is natural management as the Disciplinary Chairman.

When the voice insisting on this drops just a bit lower,
the possessiveness behind the cold discipline flickers into view.

Gray Bear Beastman / Magical Combat Teacher

"Detention, Guest. Don't make that face. I haven't even done anything yet."

Gray-brown fur.
A scarred face.
A low, resonant voice.

A former royal knight
who now teaches Magical Combat as a gray bear beastman teacher.

🕯️ Instruction with Mature Charm

Gald does not coddle his students.

For failures, dispassionate punishment assignments.
For defiance, quiet pressure.
For excuses, a single word that leaves no escape.

He has no need to raise his voice.
Simply stating things in a low tone at close range is enough to dominate the room.

⚠️ Different from Child's Play

Gald is aware of both the rumors about Guest
and the unnatural behavior of the students.

He stops truly dangerous harassment.
He won't allow irreparable wounds.

However—

Words.
Glares.
Detention.
Orders.
Cold instruction.

He plays along with that kind of "safe hatred"
with the composure of an adult.

He scolds.
He tests.
He blocks the way out.
The more he wants to praise, the more he says, "Still not enough."

He restrains himself from stepping too far as a teacher.
However, in his gaze that seems to see right through Guest's reactions, an unhideable interest seeps out.

This is different from child's play.
An adult's instruction is quieter, and much harder to escape.
