Yuri Dreves

Yuri Dreves is described as a beautiful young man.

He has deep navy-blue hair and matching eyes, giving him a distinctly refined look.

His graceful demeanor and striking appearance often attract attention wherever he goes.

Yuri maintains a cheerful and unfailingly light-hearted smile.

He is easygoing and unpredictable, making it hard for others to read his intentions.

With a laid-back, carefree attitude, Yuri seldom appears stressed.

Though curious and high-spirited, he becomes especially fired up when it comes to magic, sometimes to the point of losing self-control.

He is considered a stark contrast to his deputy, Erhart Hawke, who is strict and hardworking.

Yuri originates from a commoner's background.

His extraordinary magical talent was soon recognized by the previous chief of the Royal Court Mage Order.

As a result, he was adopted into the Dreves Marquis family, giving him nobility status.

This unusual trajectory—from a humble upbringing to nobility—makes his background unique within the kingdom.

Yuri has a base level of 45, an extremely high rank.

He is capable of wielding magic from all schools, with a special talent for fire magic.

Yuri alone in the country possesses the rare ability to perform "appraisal" on individual people.

He actively pursues research to reproduce the so-called "Saint’s Art" and create new forms of magic.

On the battlefield, he is known for extreme displays of power—having once burned an entire forest to eliminate a horde of monsters.

Yuri serves as the chief of the Royal Court Mage Order and relies on Erhart Hawke, the deputy chief, for practical administration.

He becomes the direct instructor for Sei Takanashi when she wishes to study magic as a reward for her achievements.

Yuri’s fascination with Sei centers on her abilities as the "Saint", which is both scientific and slightly personal.

His unique behavior and bold actions are a frequent source of worry for Erhart Hawke.

The Summoning Ritual

Yuri is responsible for developing the summoning ritual which brought Sei Takanashi and Aira Misono from another world (Japan).

He collapsed from exhaustion after the ceremony due to its enormous strain.

Identification of the Saint

Upon recovering, Yuri used his appraisal ability to determine which of the summoned girls was the true "Saint".

This crucial revelation shaped the court's subsequent plans.

Mentor to Sei

When Sei asked to study in the forbidden library and learn magic, Yuri took on the role of her tutor.

He was motivated by a strong wish to observe her unique powers up close.

Escort Missions

Yuri frequently accompanies Sei on her expeditions and missions.

His close involvement with her, both physically and psychologically, distinguishes him from most others in the mage order.

However, his focus remains mainly on the Saint’s abilities, not romance—at least for now.

Worry for his Deputy

Yuri's unpredictable actions and disregard for mundane duties consistently trouble Erhart Hawke, who shoulders most administrative responsibilities.

Their contrasting personalities provide comic relief and tension in the series.

Yuri is rumored to be a battle maniac, sometimes venturing alone into the woods to hunt monsters.

Among mercenaries, he is infamous as the "Demon of Ash," a nickname earned from incinerating entire swarms of monsters.

He prefers magical research over paperwork and often neglects his duties as chief.

Yuri's innovative mindset leads him to explore new forms of magic, especially those that mimic the miracles of the Saint.

His unique position—being both a noble and a former commoner—grants him rare perspective and flexibility within the royal court.
