Description
Originally named Gaius over five millennia ago, Mathias Hildesheimer was an immensely powerful sage limited by his First Crest's inability to achieve full combat potential. He deliberately sacrificed his original form through magical reincarnation, reborn as the third son of the Hildesheimer baronet family. This granted him the Fourth Crest, optimized for close combat and rapid spell execution within a 10-meter radius.
Memories of his past life surfaced at age six, granting immediate access to ancient magical knowledge largely forgotten in an era of deteriorated magical understanding. Though contemporary society mistakenly considers the Fourth Crest the weakest, it provides superior stamina management, precise magic control, and significant physical enhancement.
Enrolling at twelve in the Royal Second Academy as a top scholarship student, Mathias secured a unique "special scholarship student" status from Headmaster Edwart. This exempted him from attendance while collaborating to correct the academy's flawed magical teachings. Key relationships formed: Lurie Abendroth, a First Crest bearer developing romantic feelings; Alma Lepucius, trained by him in magic-enhanced archery; and Iris, an ancient black dragon from his past life who assumes human form, serving as ally and confidant to his true identity.
His abilities merge refined swordsmanship and martial arts from his past life with extensive magical knowledge. Spells include Body Boost for strength, Gap-Cleaver for instantaneous movement, Magic Strike for infused attacks, and Control Sphere for magic interference. He demonstrates proficiency in over 325 languages and employs practical, often unconventional spells like Follicle Fatality (hair removal) and restoration magic.
Mathias maintains complex familial ties: respect for eldest brother Leik, entrusted with family leadership, and disdain for arrogant second brother Byfgur. His primary adversaries are demons, especially the chaos demon Zardias orchestrating attacks against humanity. Against these threats, Mathias employs combat pragmatism and underhanded tactics. A confrontation with Zardias resulted in temporary defeat and death before his revival.
His long-term objective is confronting powerful extraterrestrial monsters, driving continuous strength accumulation and manipulation of kingdom growth for resources. Personality reflects analytical, strategic thinking with emotional detachment, prioritizing goals over social connections despite bonds with close companions. He exhibits a vengeful streak against enemies and relentless intellectual curiosity through research and magical experimentation.
