Yuuhei Seiho

The Magician

17

While there is an entire slew of disparaging words that can be used to describe Yuuhei, most people would agree that the one that does the job best is determined. Because underneath his relentlessly upbeat spirit and love for dramatic displays is a guy that will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of any interesting stories that come his way. This all naturally combines to make for a rather off putting individual for a good chunk of the academy’s respectable students, but the aura of self confidence that he gives off unabashedly carries on in stride.

And although Yuuhei may simply seem like an impulsive individual, that’s only mostly the case. Because in the end he is fully capable of meticulously weighing the pros and cons of any given decision, he just almost always chooses the option that seems more entertaining despite all of that. And to top that off, despite his affable demeanor Yuuhei is inherently free-spirited and rarely if ever looks to others for help.

Born as the only child to two complete workaholics, Yuuhei was your typical latchkey kid growing up. That’s not to say that his parents were abusive by any stretch of the imagination, just rarely present. The upside to his living situation meant that money was rarely a concern for him growing up, even if his family could never count themselves among the upper crust of society. All in all, if you were to ask him about it he would simply shrug and say that it isn't nearly as big of a deal as it sounds.

There’s really not much to say about Yuuhei before he started high school. He was quiet and unremarkable, with shallow and low stakes friendships to match. But that of course changed after entering Kenkōichi International Academy and getting more or less coerced into joining the school’s esteemed Newspaper Club. His first year as a member saw him come out of his shell and spark his desire to chase after things he found interesting. His second solidified his love for the dramatic and was when he was handed the reins as the club’s president.

Now entering his third year at the Academy and Yuuhei has managed to cultivate quite the reputation for himself. With the old president stepping down halfway through the previous year to focus on college exams, her replacement has proven to be far more boisterous and relentless in his methods when it comes to chasing down leads. So much so that teachers are finding it harder and harder to ignore the new direction the once prestigious club seems to be heading.

Whether you love him or hate him, plenty of students have at least heard of some of Yuuhei’s more ridiculous antics. And if you are at all interesting, he has likely heard about you.

With no real physique to speak of, Yuuhei is hilariously unsuited for close-range fights. However, he is pretty handy with darts, as he somehow has managed to get away with playing with them in the clubroom without them getting confiscated. It remains to be seen if this talent extends to any other kind of thrown projectiles though.

When it comes to his day to day essentials though, you’ll never catch the boy leaving home without his pocket-sized digital camera or the little notebook into which he jots down all sorts of tidbits of info that sport varying degrees of usefulness.

The Wizard of Oz

As the greatest pretender of Oz, the demon focuses on debilitating foes with parlor tricks rather than crushing them with sheer magical might. To accomplish this, the sleazy magician employs pyrotechnics in the form of [Agi], wows them into a tizzy with [Dazzler], and prevents them from catching him during his escape with [Sukunda].
