Vandalieu Ark Hillwillow Solder Zakkart – Dhampir (Mother: Goddess), 13 years old, male
While enjoying a fulfilling life at the Adventurers’ School, he destroyed Rikudou Hijiri and his subordinates who got away in Origin, defeated the Demon King Guduranis, and now he effectively controls the capital city of the Orbaume Kingdom.
He personally finds the last point extremely regrettable; it was entirely unintentional and makes him want to clutch his head and shout, “Why did things end up like this?!” However, he refrains from doing so because he is aware that he brought this upon himself by helping Orbaume to the best of his ability, and he has now fully accepted it.
He charms the dead, various kinds of monsters, and some humans, but because he is actually critically lacking in the ability to make moves to grow closer to people, he ended up being a loner after he enrolled at the Hero Preparatory School, just like during his school life on Earth.
However, he encountered Elizabeth’s party by chance and approached them due to a misunderstanding, allowing him to find a place where he belonged at the school – as one of Elizabeth’s lackeys.
Perhaps gaining some confidence from this, he began teaching students and teachers alike, causing some of the teachers to treat him like one of their colleagues, and he brought his companions into the city, insisting that they were his familiars.
He has taken a confrontational stance towards Alex, an honors student who was one of the top candidates to graduate at the top of his year – not because Alex saw his Status with his Demon Eyes of Great Appraisal, but because he serves as an effective goal to motivate Elizabeth and the others in his party to improve and compare themselves against. In other words, it’s just posturing… He has a slightly negative impression of Alex because he previously looked down on Elizabeth and the others, but that’s it.
Ordinarily, Vandalieu’s actions wouldn’t have done more than causing some commotion at the Adventurers’ School and Tamers’ Guild, but a chain of events starting from one of his practical training session led to him meeting Amelia Sauron at the Hospital of Psychiatry, and after he grew closer to her, things progressed from there. And due to Duke Jahan making a visit to the hospital, he was able to learn of Prime Minister Tercatanis’s suspicious behavior, which eventually led to him crushing Rikudou Hijiri’s ambitions and destroying the Demon King Guduranis.
It seems that these events have reminded him of how important it is to make connections with people.
Due to the ‘Inner Worlds’ Skill that he gained from acquiring the ‘Qliphoth’ Job, he possesses ten worlds that exist inside his body, which are inhabited by the horde of Demons that were born through the pseudo-reincarnation of the countless spirits that are always floating around him, as well as Marshukzarl, the former emperor of the Amid Empire.
At the time of the battle against Rikudou, he had acquired enough power to fight while taking care to prevent catastrophic damage to the city at ground level and even attack Heinz’s party, the Five-colored Blades, at the same time.
He was forced to stop targeting the Five-colored Blades after Guduranis was resurrected, but even so, he possessed enough strength to fight the Demon King in head-on melee combat on equal terms – or even at an advantage. The battle would have likely favored Guduranis if his resurrection had been complete, but the former Demon King with an incomplete soul and body was unable to prevail over the True Demon King.
Vandalieu’s devouring of Guduranis in order to destroy him caused Heinz to suspect that he might one day be taken over by Guduranis and cause his resurrection, but the sensations Vandalieu felt at the time makes him feel certain that Guduranis has been completely destroyed… though there’s no evidence of this outside of those sensations, so there’s no way for him to convince those who don’t believe him.
However, this is of no relevance to Vandalieu as he intended to eventually kill Heinz and his companions anyway, no matter what they said.
Now that the battle has ended, he has been carrying out his plans to spread his guidance and the worship of Vida across the whole kingdom while carrying out the tasks necessary for the reconstruction and restoration of Orbaume.
In his private life, he is now expecting a child with the Moon Giant Deeana. This will be his third child after Bakunawa and Elizabeth (?!).
He is against being worshiped as a god by Nuaza in Talosheim and the pseudo-reincarnated Demons, but he doesn’t actually hate standing out. He is simply against being worshiped because he considers himself to be human.
Incidentally, with the removal of the distance limit between himself and his Demon King Familiars, he is now gaining Experience Points from a countless number of Demon King Familiars, and is planning to acquire a new Job soon.

Pauvina Zakkart – Half-Noble Orc, 9 years old, female
A half-Noble Orc girl who enrolled at the Adventurers’ School known as the Hero Preparatory School together with Vandalieu. If her age is converted to human years, she is roughly fifteen; she is almost an adult by Lambda’s standards.
She achieved higher results than Vandalieu during the entrance exam, drawing attention for more reasons than just her physical characteristics (being three meters tall).
She has gained a new party member named Reinhardt, and became able to bring her close friends (Rapiéçage, Yamada, and Luvesfol) with her, so she was enjoying a very pleasant and comfortable school life.
During the Dark Avalon incident, her party was the only one at the Hero Preparatory School to be sent to fight outside the school, but that was because it was decided that it would be excessive to send them to clear the monsters in the school’s Dungeon so that it could be used as an emergency shelter.
Luvesfol’s seal was undone during battle against Guduranis, returning him to his original form, but Pauvina knows that it’s still Luvesfol, so she isn’t bothered… or rather, she’s trying to think of a way to allow him to walk around the city again, since he’s become too large for that now.
Perhaps because she gives commands to Luvesfol in battle, she has acquired the ‘Dragon User’ Job, then ‘Elder Dragon User,’ and finally ‘Dragon Princess.’
After Luvesfol’s seal was undone, she later noticed that she had gained ‘Luvesfol’s Divine Protection.’
Regarding Elizabeth, she thinks of her as a new niece.
