Krad

Name: Krad

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Class / Occupation: Warrior

Level: 20

Affiliation / Role: Leader of the party “Dragon’s Roar”

Exam / Mission: Promotion test during the “Spider’s Nest” investigation

Krad has a hot-blooded and impulsive temperament, which often shows in how he interacts with others.

His pride as a warrior and party leader is strong, and he is easily provoked when he feels that status is threatened.

When Fran is promoted to Rank D, Krad feels displeased and does not accept her advancement calmly.

This frustration causes him to pick fights with her and clash with her at every opportunity.

Krad serves as the leader of “Dragon’s Roar,” a party undergoing a promotion exam linked to the “Spider’s Nest” dungeon investigation.

His actions and reactions highlight the contrast between experienced but prideful adventurers and talented rising newcomers like Fran.

During the exam, Krad acts as the representative of his party, responsible for their decisions in the dangerous labyrinth.

His leadership is tested when his group faces threats beyond their expectations.

As a warrior of level 20, Krad has solid combat experience and confidence in his own strength.

This confidence leads him to challenge Fran to a mock battle to assert his superiority.

In the mock battle, Krad is completely overwhelmed and defeated in an instant by Fran.

This one-sided loss shatters his assumptions about his own power and forces him to recognize her overwhelming skill.

Relationship with Fran

Krad initially resents Fran’s promotion to Rank D and refuses to acknowledge her abilities.

He frequently provokes her, driven by jealousy and wounded pride rather than reason.

After the mock battle, he is forced to confront the gap between them, though his attitude is still tangled with frustration.

His view of Fran changes dramatically when she later saves his party from a life‑threatening situation.

When the party is nearly annihilated deep in the labyrinth, Fran and Urushi come to their rescue.

Krad sincerely thanks Fran for saving his companions, showing that he is capable of genuine gratitude and growth.

Relationship with Urushi

Krad does not have a deep personal connection with Urushi at first.

However, he witnesses Urushi’s vital role in saving his party from the dungeon crisis alongside Fran.

After this event, Krad recognizes Urushi as an important ally and part of the rescue effort.

This shared battle builds respect, even if it is not expressed as openly as his thanks to Fran.

Relationship with His Party “Dragon’s Roar”

Krad is the leader of “Dragon’s Roar,” guiding the team through the promotion test and the “Spider’s Nest” investigation.

He feels responsible for the safety and success of his comrades, which adds pressure to his already intense personality.

When confronted by powerful enemies, he and his party reach their limits and fall into dire straits.

The fact that he is saved, rather than doing the saving himself, becomes a humbling experience for him as a leader.

Mock Battle with Fran

Driven by irritation over Fran’s Rank D promotion, Krad challenges her to a mock battle.

He is instantly defeated, a “one‑shot” loss that underlines the vast difference in their combat abilities.

This swift defeat is a turning point for Krad’s self-awareness.

It shakes his pride and lays the groundwork for the respect he later develops toward Fran.

Crisis in the “Spider’s Nest” Dungeon

During the “Spider’s Nest” investigation, Krad and his party encounter an upper-class magical beast known as the Trickster Spider.

They are also swarmed by large numbers of other spiders, placing them in extremely grave danger.

Overwhelmed and on the verge of collapse, Krad’s party is saved by Fran and Urushi.

They intervene in time to rescue his companions from the Trickster Spider and the spider horde.

Krad openly expresses his gratitude to Fran for saving his comrades’ lives.

This moment marks a clear step in his character development, revealing a more humble and sincere side beneath his fiery exterior.
