Description
Glenn Dudley is a magically gifted apprentice from a humble background, notable for his enormous mana reserves and specialization in flight magic. He is the son of a butcher, a fact that grounds his character in a simple, hardworking life far removed from the aristocratic world he later enters. Despite his common origins, he was taken under the wing of Louis Miller, a powerful mage known as the Barrier Mage and one of the legendary Seven Sages, who recognized Dudley's exceptional potential.
Dudley's personality is a striking contrast to the quiet, secretive protagonist. He is famously cheerful, energetic, and outgoing, often described as a lovable fool or a sunshine idiot. This social, easygoing nature allows him to easily make friends and navigate social situations, a sharp contrast to his more anxious classmate. However, his academic performance is notoriously poor, and he is not considered intellectually sharp, often struggling with magical theory and conventional studies. This lack of academic rigor, combined with his immense power, makes him a handful for his teachers and friends, who frequently have to help him avoid failing his classes. Despite these shortcomings, his passion and knowledge become laser-focused when the topic is meat, butchery, or cooking, where his expertise is unmatched.
His primary motivation in the story is largely driven by his role as a student and a decoy. He transfers into the prestigious Serendia Academy at the same time as the protagonist, Monica Everett. His mission, orchestrated by his master, is not academic excellence but to act as a diversion. His overwhelming and conspicuous magical presence is designed to attract attention, drawing suspicion away from Monica, who is secretly on a mission to protect a prince. He is frequently seen using his magic for mundane tasks, such as flying between the academy and his family home, or setting up impromptu barbecues on school grounds, all of which successfully pull focus from the quiet protagonist. Though he appears reckless, his actions are often shown to be surprisingly reliable when they matter.
Key relationships define his interactions. His bond with his master, Louis Miller, is central; Louis acts as a patient guide trying to harness Dudley's raw talent while covering for his lack of theoretical understanding. He shares a significant, albeit initially unacknowledged, connection with Rosalie Miller (née Miller), his master's wife. His intense, protective feelings for her were his first love, though he did not recognize them as such at the time, and he once caused a magical rampage due to a misunderstanding involving her well-being. In a more familial sense, he is adored by their daughter, Leonora, acting as a beloved older brother figure. At school, he is a classmate of Neil Clay Maywood and is often seen interacting with Monica, whose secret mission he inadvertently aids just by being himself.
Dudley's personal development is less about emotional maturity and more about gaining control over his frightening natural gifts. His past includes a significant incident at the Minerva magic academy where he lost control of his mana during a sparring match, causing a dangerous accident. This event highlighted his greatest weakness: a severe lack of fine control despite his overwhelming power. Since then, his training under Louis has focused on making his abilities stable and safe, limiting him to a few reliable spells rather than a wide, unpredictable arsenal. He grows by learning to channel his power effectively, turning his raw potential into a dependable, if simple, combat style.
Dudley's notable abilities are staggering in their raw output but limited in scope. He possesses a mana level that exceeds 250 units, a measurement so high it breaks standard measuring devices and rivals that of the most powerful mages in the kingdom. This places him in a class of his own among the Seven Sages' apprentices. His magical power is so immense that even a basic fireball spell cast by him equals the destructive force of Monica's magically enhanced spells. However, due to his poor control, the only spells he can reliably perform in combat are fireballs and his signature flight magic. Within the niche of flight magic, he is a true expert. He can carry others while flying, maneuver through obstacles with ease, and use the spell for long-distance travel, a feat that is typically impossible for other mages due to its intense mana consumption. In essence, he brute-forces his way through magical limitations, relying on his overwhelming mana pool and intuitive, sensation-based control rather than complex incantations or theoretical knowledge.
