Ritsu Muses is a young boy from the Marca tribe, a group often looked down upon and discriminated against in the land of Samaforce.

Ritsu’s Hard Beginnings
Ritsu belongs to the Marca tribe, and people in Samaforce see this tribe as inferior.
He joined a mercenary band to survive, but it was destroyed in battle.
Hungry and close to death, he wandered into Lamberk.
Joining the Louvent Household

To join, Ritsu had to pass a special test by Raven Louvent, the head of the house.
He succeeded and started working as a regular soldier and servant for the Louvents.
Rising Through Trust and Talent
After seeing his quick mind and kindness, Raven gave Ritsu a chance for more education.
Just a few months later, Ritsu was chosen to be Ars’ personal tutor.
He proved his worth in real battles, earning the fearsome nickname “The Reaper of Louvent” or, in the web novel, “The Cruel Demon of Louvent.”
Ritsu doesn’t really like these names, saying they make him sound scarier than he is.
Fierce Loyalty and a Father’s Concern
Ritsu is grateful to the Louvent family for rescuing him from poverty and showing him trust.
His loyalty to Ars is so great that he will do anything to protect him, even using violence if someone insults or threatens Ars.
Before dying, Raven Louvent gave Ritsu important advice: never die for Ars, but live on to protect him.
Ritsu uses knives a lot because they work well inside buildings.
He is very aware that his scary nickname doesn’t really match his true self.
He is proud to serve the Louvent family and feels a huge debt of gratitude to them.
