At first he is taught magic by a private tutor, then he becomes a private tutor and teaches magic to students, travels around the world using teleportation magic, and enrolls in school... he spends his time up to age 15 in many places, meeting and parting with many different people. So, this time we'll introduce all the characters Rudeus met before he turned 15! It would get incredibly long if we introduced everyone, so we'll just introduce the people who are closely related to Rudeus!
Rudeus Greyrat
The protagonist of this work. At the age of 3, his parents noticed his talent for magic and he became an apprentice to Roxy, a Saint-class magician. At the age of 5, he passed the graduation exam and became a Saint-class magician. Furthermore, at the age of 7, he went to the Boreas family alone to become Eris's tutor. While teaching her magic there, he was caught up in a teleportation spell and was teleported to the Demon Continent with Eris. He traveled with Eris until she was 13 years old to bring her home. After parting ways with Eris, he spent the years from age 13 to 15 as an adventurer, becoming known by the nickname "Rudeus of the Quagmire", and then enrolled in Magic University. ...Rudeus has had a turbulent life, but inside he is an unemployed NEET who died in an accident at the age of 34 while protecting a popular person. In order to avoid repeating the same life, Rudeus will do his best to live as an honor student.
Paul Greyrat
Rudeus' father, he is basically a kind and good father. However, when he gets emotional, he quickly resorts to violence and does not listen to what the other person is saying, which sometimes leads to arguments with Rudeus. He is also very selfish when it comes to women, due to his lineage. He has made mistakes that led to the breakdown of his family, such as impregnating his maid Lilia while his wife Zenith was pregnant.
Zenith Greyrat
Rudeus' mother, a beautiful woman with an excellent figure. She was originally an adventurer in the same team as Paul, but retired from adventure after becoming pregnant with Rudeus. After that, she lives as a full-time housewife. She can use magic, and when she found out that Rudeus was gifted with magical abilities, she was so happy that she immediately hired a tutor. Since she was transferred by the transfer magic, she has not appeared in any scenes until the 13th volume of the comics.
Lilia Greyrat
A maid who serves the Greyrat family. She had a hard time dealing with Rudeus, who was not cute, since she was a baby, but when she was pregnant with Paul's child, Rudeus saved her, and since then she has been loyal to Rudeus, and has decided to raise her child to serve Rudeus. By the way, she used to attend the same swordsmanship dojo as Paul, and at that time, Paul forcefully took her virginity.
Norn Greyrat
She is the child of Paul and Zenith, and Rudeus's real sister. Rudeus had left home before she was born, so the first time they met was after she was teleported away by teleportation magic. At the time, she was in despair about everything, and when she went to help Paul who had been beaten down after fighting with Rudeus, she met Rudeus for the first time. Because of this, she had a bad relationship with Rudeus, and they were unable to get along, so they decided to part ways to search for Zenith again.
Aisha Greyrat
A girl who is the child of Lilia and Paul and is Rudeus' half-sibling. Unlike Norn, who grew up gentle, she was raised strictly by Lilia and is strong for her age. When she first met Rudeus, she didn't realize he was her brother, but halfway through, she realized that he was her brother and worried that she had hurt him by saying bad things about him. After that, they reconciled and she became very attached to Rudeus.
Roxy Migurdia
A girl who came to Rudeus as a tutor when he was three years old... a woman who looks like it. She is said to have been 38 years old at the time, which makes her older than Paul and Zenith. Her specialty is water-element magic, and her level is Saint-class. She served as Rudeus' tutor for two years, and after raising Rudeus to a Saint-class magician, she set out on a journey again. Roxy is clumsy and often flashes her panties whenever she gets the chance... She doesn't seem to realize it, but Rudeus once stole her panties, so even after she became an adult, Rudeus would put them in a shrine and worship them.
Sylphiette
She was the first friend of the same age that Rudeus met when he was 5 years old. Despite being born to a half-elf father and a human mother, Sylphy was bullied because of her demon-like hair color. By chance, Rudeus happened to pass by and helped her, and the two became best friends. Rudeus had always thought she was a boy since they first met, and didn't realize she was a girl until they took a bath together a year later. She had always been close to Rudeus, but his parents, worried that he was too dependent on them, decided to send him out of the house to distance themselves from him.
Fitz
This is the name that Sylphy, who was sent away by teleportation magic, began to use after she began serving Ariel. Since he goes by the name of a man, he hardly speaks and is called "Silent Fitz" by those around him. The reason is unknown, but her hair color has changed from green to silver, and she is wearing sunglasses, so Rudeus had a hard time realizing that Fitz is Sylphy (as of volume 13 of the comics, she still hasn't realized).
Eris Boreas Greyrat
A student who Rudeus tutored. She is reckless and short-tempered. She is also a tsundere and selfish young lady. She is a little older than Rudeus, who came to be his tutor at the age of 5, and was strongly opposed to learning magic from someone younger than her, but she has mellowed out a bit since being kidnapped. When he was caught up in the teleportation magic, he was sent to the same place as Rudeus, and the three of them, including Ruijerd of the Sperd tribe, set off on a journey to return to the mansion. After spending the night with Rudeus, he leaves Rudeus's side the next morning and begins training in swordsmanship in order to become even stronger than before.
Ruijerd Sperdia
A Sperd tribe marked by green hair and a jewel on his forehead. Roxy had told him that he was particularly violent among the demons, but when he actually met him, he was like a kind older brother who liked children. However, he has a short temper and will mercilessly kill a human if they hurt a child... In order to restore the reputation of his clan, he sets out on a journey with Rudeus and the others. By the way, at first he was a handsome man who suited the green god, but one day he suddenly shaved his hair off and became a skinhead because he thought his hair color would cause trouble.
Ghislaine Dedoldia
His first impression when he first met him was "Father Cat." He is a beastman with an excellent figure who wears revealing clothes that make it hard to understand what is going on, and is characterized by his fluffy tail and ears. He usually seals his right eye, but if he removes his eyepatch, his magical power can be measured. Originally, she fought on the same team as Paul, and when Rudeus became her tutor, she went to his house to pick him up.
Ariel Anemoi Asura
The third princess of the Asura Kingdom, she is the princess who can serve Silphy. Although she can sometimes show a dark side, she is generally calm and has a relationship with Silphy that is both master and servant. Although she is third in line to the throne, she is by far the most popular among the people. In particular, her charisma and beautiful voice fascinate those who hear her and make them feel comfortable. Her life was targeted by assassins while she was fighting for the throne, and now she is searching for promising talent at the Magic University with Fitz and Luke, and is in the process of establishing a foothold, with the ultimate goal of becoming the king of the Asura Kingdom.
Elinalise Dragonlord
A former companion of Paulo, she is cursed with a strange curse that says she will die if she does not receive men's semen regularly. Because of this, she seduces men one after another and has relationships with them, but she has never dated a specific person. However, after enrolling in the Magic University with Rudeus, Cliff fell in love with her at first sight, and although she initially intended to reject him, she accepted his curse and began dating him. At school, she flirts with him without any hesitation, even sitting on his lap.
Kishirika Kishirisu
A girl who Rudeus saved on the Demon Continent... a demon who looks like that. Although she looks like a girl, she was already leading the demons in the Human-Demon War over 6,000 years ago, and has been alive for at least 6,000 years. When introducing herself, she takes on a strange pose and calls herself the "Emperor of the Demon World." She has 12 magic eyes that can see through everything, and gives them to people who treat her to meals, including Rudeus, as a token of appreciation.
Riina Dedordia
A fifth-year student at the Magic University, she is a cat of the Dorudia tribe and has a very big attitude in class. She sometimes ends her sentences with "nya", which surprised Rudeus in many ways. When Zanoba enrolled, a fight broke out and they dueled together, and when Rudeus learned that Zanoba had stolen and destroyed Roxy's doll after winning, he was furious. After that, she was held captive by Rudeus for a day, and, acknowledging the difference in their strength, she started calling Rudeus Boss. By the way, she is the head of the Dorudia clan, so she is Ghyslaine's niece.
Pursena Adorudia
A dog of the Dorudia tribe who is always with Liniana. Unlike Liniana, who ends her sentences with "nya", she is known for ending her sentences with "~nano". She is always eating something and talks less than Liniana, but her attitude is the same or even bigger. Even when he lost to Rudeus, he immediately tried to shift the blame to Rinia, saying things like, "You can do anything to Rinia." As a dog-like beastman, he has an excellent sense of smell, and can even tell by smell whether an opponent is aggressive or not.
Orsted
A dragon god who is ranked second among the Seven Great Powers, said to be the strongest in the world. His strength is literally the strongest, and when Rudeus, Eris, and Ruijerd met him while they were active as Dead End, he mistook Rudeus for a member of Hitogami and killed him. He also defeated the other two with a single blow. A mysterious girl who was traveling with him suggested that Rudeus, who was thought to have died instantly, recover. After that, he took the girl and left the scene. He is cursed with a curse that inflicts fear on others, and ordinary people will tremble uncontrollably just by seeing Orsted.
Nanahoshi Shizuka
A masked girl who was accompanied by Orsted. As of volume 13 of the comics, her true identity is still a mystery and nothing has been revealed, but it seems that she has started attending magic university like Rudeus. She seems to have some special power, as Orsted treats her specially. In the Re:Zero collaboration manga, he chases after Subaru in a panic after seeing his black hair and clothes, so he is thought to be a Japanese person who has been reincarnated in another world.
Zanoba Shirone
The third prince of the Shirone Kingdom who attends the Magic University. He is impressed by the figures made by Rudeus and calls him his master. He looks like a skinny otaku, but due to a curse he has incredible strength. He has caused many unfunny incidents, such as misusing his strength and tearing off the head of his newborn brother. She has little magical power and is not good at controlling her strength, so she cannot make figurines. She went to the slave market to find someone to make figurines for her, and after purchasing Juliet there, she seems to be teaching her about figurines.
Juliet
A girl who was bought at the slave market to make figurines. At first, she was in despair and could not speak properly, but because she had the same eyes as her in her previous life, Rudeus spoke to her as if he could see through her true feelings, and she opened up to him. After that, he lives a comfortable life under Zanoba and Rudeus, but he seems to be a little scared of Rudeus because he imprisoned Rinia and Pursena.
Cliff Grimoire
A genius boy who had become what is commonly known as a "tengu". He has a talent for magic and a haughty personality. He met Eris in the past, fell in love at first sight, and confessed his feelings to her, but was completely defeated. Because of this, he resented Rudeus, but when he met Elinalise, he relied on Rudeus and started dating her, and since then, they have become friends.
Hitogami
A mysterious being who appears from time to time to give Rudeus advice. It has not been revealed who he is, but Orsted is quite hostile towards him. When Rudeus talks to Hitogami, he returns to his previous life form, so there is no doubt that he is an important being who knows the secret of reincarnation.
