Edel

Edel refers to herself with the archaic first person “I” in a way that suggests great age, pride, or a slightly old-fashioned manner.

Her speech style gives the impression of a seasoned, self-assured mage who has seen a lot, even if she is not a front-line fighter.

She is analytical and calm under pressure, able to keep thinking clearly even when enemies are attacking.

Rather than charging into battle, she prefers to observe, deduce, and strike directly at the mind and heart of a problem.

Edel holds the rank of second-class mage, but her strength lies almost entirely in specialized mental magic.

Her combat power is described as nonexistent, yet her talent for manipulating minds is “extremely outstanding.”

She is a specialist in mental manipulation magic, able to probe, read, and transfer memories.

Her signature achievement is reading a massive span of memories—about one hundred years—from the mage Mahat just by touching him.

Edel also possesses a rare ability to transmit her own memories to another person through a handshake.

This allows her to share complex information instantly, making her invaluable for intelligence work and investigations.

During the first test, Edel is placed in the same party as Dünste and Blei.

In this group, Edel is not a front-line fighter but a strategic support member who uses her specialty to analyze threats.

When they face replicas created by the “Water Mirror Demon” during the second test, their group is attacked by a duplicate of Sense.

Edel analyzes the situation in the midst of danger and makes a crucial discovery about these copies.

She successfully deduces that the replicas created by the Water Mirror Demon lack “hearts” or true inner selves.

This realization reveals a fundamental weakness or limitation in the Water Mirror Demon’s creations.

However, despite this brilliant insight, Edel is injured during the confrontation.

Due to her wounds, she is forced to drop out of the exam, unable to continue to later stages.

After the exam, Edel continues to contribute in a more subtle, behind-the-scenes role.

She receives a request from Lernen, a highly capable mage, to assist in an internal investigation of the Golden City.

Edel takes part in this investigation and comes into direct contact with the powerful mage Mahat.

Using her mental manipulation magic, she touches him and successfully reads around one hundred years’ worth of his memories.

This feat is considered a major accomplishment, both magically and strategically.

By extracting such a long span of Mahat’s memories, Edel uncovers crucial information about the Golden City and its secrets.

Edel’s role does not end with simply collecting information.

Thanks to her ability to pass on memories through physical contact, she becomes the perfect intermediary.

Through a handshake, Edel transfers her own memories of the Golden City investigation to Denken.

This allows Denken to receive detailed, firsthand information without the delays or distortions of normal communication.

Her action dramatically speeds up the flow of critical intelligence and shapes how Denken understands the Golden City.

In this way, Edel exerts a major influence on events despite not being a combat-oriented character.

Edel stands out as a character who proves that raw combat power is not the only form of strength.

Her unique mental magic and memory-transfer abilities make her a key figure in both the mage exams and the Golden City storyline.

She is an excellent example of a non-combat specialist whose insight, courage, and intelligence can change the course of major events.

Edel’s contributions, particularly her reading of Mahat’s century of memories, mark her as one of the most valuable support mages in the setting.
