"The Wise Man's Disciple" is a novel in the reincarnation genre that has been serialized on GC Novels since 2014, based on a web novel that was serialized on the novel submission site "Let's Become a Novelist". It is also attracting attention as it is scheduled to be made into an anime in January 2022. In this article, we will introduce the main characters that appear in "The Wise Man's Disciple"!
What is the story of "The Wise Man's Disciple"? ?
A 28-year-old young man, Sakimori Kan, was playing the VRMMO game "Arc Earth Online" as one of the nine sages, a white-bearded old man named "Dumbledore". One day, while playing around with a female character avatar remake, Sakimori falls asleep. When he wakes up, he is in the world of the game. Not only is he transported to the world of the game, but instead of the sage "Dumbledore", he is in the avatar of a female character that Sakimori created for fun. After that, he ends up calling himself "Mira", a disciple of the sage, and embarks on an adventure in a new world as the beautiful silver-haired girl "Mira".
Mira / Dumbledore Gundador
The protagonist of "The Sage Who Calls Himself a Disciple of the Sage". His real name is a young man named Sakimori Kagami, and his original avatar was a stern old man named Dumbledore. Sakimori is very surprised and upset when he enters the world of the game in the form of a silver-blonde girl that he created without much thought. Sakimori gradually realizes that the world of the game is becoming reality, and she thinks it would be bad if people knew that one of the Nine Sages, Dumbledore, had turned into a young girl. So she takes on the name "Mira", a play on the English word for her real name, "Mirror". Since she is an old sage inside, she looks like a young girl, but uses the pronoun "washi".
What was her original appearance...?
Mira's original appearance was that of the sage Dumbledore in the image, and she had a mature, elderly impression. If you think of her as a beautiful silver-haired girl from the image, you can see that she has undergone a huge change. Since her gender and atmosphere are the complete opposite, it is not surprising that she cannot match her speech to her appearance. By the way, Mira's true identity is Sakimori, and she is not an old man, but since Sakimori has strong feelings for Dunbalf, she uses a first-person pronoun that matches her character.
Luminaria
She is one of the Nine Sages and has the nickname "Luminaria of Natural Disaster." She has red hair like a blazing flame. Like Sakimori Kagami, she is a VRMMO player and was transferred to the game world 20 years before Mira. Although she is a beautiful woman with a captivating appearance that men like, she is a male game player, so she speaks to Mira, who is also a man, in male language. Unlike Mira, who is confused by her mistaken female appearance, Luminaria enjoys her female appearance.
Solomon
He is the king of the kingdom "Arkite Kingdom" that appears in the game, and in contrast to Mira, he has the appearance of a boy. Like Mira and Luminaria, he is a VRMMO player. Since he has been in the game world for 30 years, it is clear that he was transferred to the game world before Mira and Luminaria. She was friends with Dunbalf, who is Mira's true identity. She seems to have been convinced from the beginning that Mira's true identity is Dunbalf, and asks her to search for the Nine Sages. She also has a side to her that likes military things.
Mariana
A fairy woman who serves as Mira's aide. She was originally Dunbalf's aide. Even after Dunbalf left, she continued to look after the house alone, and she cared very much for Dunbalf. When Mira, who claims to be Dumbledore's disciple, told Mariana that Dumbledore was safe, she couldn't help but cry tears of relief. Feeling guilty about hiding the fact that she was Dumbledore, Mira reveals her true identity to Mariana. Mariana is moved by their reunion and actively tries to close the gap between them.
