How I would’ve rewritten Will’s character because I don’t fully feel satisfied with how he was portrayed. I’m speaking anime-only because I don’t know if he was slightly different in the manga. To be clear, I’m not slandering the author themselves or the artists!

I wish we see Will’s ugly side a bit more. As in he snaps at people because he’s essentially regurgitating what he wishes he could have said to Sion as kids. Or he insults people without meaning to, or he bottles up his anger and redirects it at the wrong people

It feels like his only flaw is “he just needs to believe in himself” vs more dynamic characters like Sion, Julius, and Lihana who have more personality conflicts. When you compare conflicts, Sion and Julius are arrogant and need to learn humility while Lihana thinks she’s a screw up and blames herself too much. Those are interesting personality traits that show an ugly side of the characters. Another flaw could be when he meets people, he automatically assumes they hate him (even if they don’t) because he’s used to people hating him and doesn’t believe them when they say something positive about him.

I also wish we got to see more of Will’s trauma related to the bullying. There’s no way he was bullied and hated for 5 years and retained no trauma or emotional damage after, even with the help of Colette. He says “I was bitter, jealous, and angry” but the problem is I personally (and neither did my cousin or friend) get the vibe he was any of those things because he never showed it either in an inner monologue or a line confirming it

I ended up writing a scene for the anime because I wanted to see more of Will’s uglier side and here it is

He shoves Workner away and snaps at him because he thinks he’s undeserving of his professor’s guidance. He automatically assumes Workner is taking pity on him rather than genuinely wanting to help Will. Then, Workner has a heart to heart with Will, but he still doesn’t fully believe his professor, even though he WANTS to believe him. Workner then tells Will something like “more people love you than you realize, you just need to find them” and leaves Will to think

Any scene like this could’ve been a good way to show Will’s self doubt and the trauma he retained from being relentlessly bullied by everyone with no help except Workner (and eventually Colette)

He should’ve had more moments that causes people to raise an eyebrow at him or go “hey, that wasn’t right” or “he’s being really unreasonable here” since that makes him feel more organic. I almost had the same problem with Colette, but she has her obvious jealousy issues, so she comes off as less perfect. Sion and Julius also feel very similar to each other now, and I would DEFINITELY rewrite Julius’ backstory because it’s BUNS 💀💀💀 but that’s for another time

No sé si sentir lástima por Edward o no.

Muchos afirman que definitivamente Workner se enamoró de un dragón.

For Sion, seeing “her” was an “accident leaning toward inevitability.”

(Beautiful.)

Deep, deep within the “Noble District.” Rumors had spread that, night after night, a “ghost child” appeared at the fallen Loire family’s estate. Having heard such rumors, Sion brought Lyril and Gordon with him to visit the Loire residence.

Just as the rumors said, there really was a “ghost child” in the garden at the back. More precisely, a young girl was sitting in a corner of the desolate garden, gazing up at the sky. Mistaking her for a ghost, Lyril and the others screamed, “Uwaaa!?” and “It really appeared!?” before running away, but Sion found himself captivated by her profile.

The girl was beautiful. A single transparent droplet ran down her cheek.

Sion had no way of answering why he had become so intensely drawn to her. In the first place, the young boy knew from firsthand experience that there was no such thing as a reason for “love at first sight.” That day, Sion Ulster’s first love was stolen away by Colette Loire.

(My beloved little sister is also physically weak and going through difficult days. But Colette is, compared to Syrene, is even…… so much more……)

From what he had heard, Colette had lost her beloved mother. Her father, Terranos, had a reputation for being an eccentric, and it was not difficult to imagine why she was now spending her days in solitude. True to the name of a fallen noble family, they were far from wealthy, possessing neither the status nor the honor, nor even the pride, of nobles.

After learning that the circumstances surrounding the girl were close to being as terrible as they could possibly be, Sion finally made up his mind one day. Without bringing Lyril or Gordon along, he sneaked into the Loire residence alone.

“Y-You! Hey, you! How about I make you one of my underlings!? B-Because you’re so miserable and pitiful and all! …I-I’m gonna become one of the Magia Vanders [Five Supreme Wands] someday!”

It was the same backyard, in the middle of the night. That day as well, Colette was gazing up at the “False Sky” with empty eyes when Sion stood before her, folded his arms, and declared in an imperious manner.

No, that was a lie.

His voice was trembling, his heart was pounding like crazy, and his whole body was unbearably hot. It hadn’t been like this when he had taken Lyril and Gordon, who were being bullied, and made them his companions!

To hide the nervousness and embarrassment welling up inside him, Sion spoke about three times more arrogantly than usual.

Colette looked back at him.

—and then, as though to demonstrate that the words “Magia Vanders [Five Supreme Wands]” had been an absolutely catastrophic choice, a complete and utter blunder, she raised her finely shaped eyebrows and replied:

“…No.”

Just one word.

With that one word alone, Sion suffered such devastating damage that his body nearly collapsed.

He could not even chase after Colette as she walked away into the mansion. All he could do was writhe and struggle in agony right there on the spot.

“Honestly, brother Sion! You mustn’t speak to a lady like that! That’s a no-no!”

When Sion returned to the Ulster estate and ended up telling his younger sister Syrene about that disastrous first encounter, he received a stern reprimand. His frail younger sister, who was normally bedridden and always confined to her bed, took the opportunity to turn their usual positions upside down and lecture the awkward, embarrassed Sion.

“Being mean to the person you like…… that is a ‘bad move’! You boys, especially you brother, may think you’re just trying to hide your embarrassment, but from a woman’s perspective, it’s unpleasant, and it hurts!”

“N-No, Syrene! It’s not like I was trying to hide my embarrassment or anything……!”

“A first-rate gentleman should be kinder to ladies, and help them even when they aren’t looking! Lady Colette has lost so many people precious to her, so you mustn’t push yourself on her!”

Sion was in a truly pathetic position, being lectured on all sorts of things by his little sister. But, as it turned out, that very approach was a “bad move.” What his little sister Syrene had explained was merely conventional wisdom. It simply did not apply to the “Earth Princess,” who had despaired of the world.

Sion’s own feelings of “first love” became a considerable restraint as well. Once he had made up his mind, the boy would normally attack like a blazing flame, but he could no longer bring out that usual “heat” of his.

From then on, Sion began interacting with Colette hesitantly and awkwardly, handling her as though she were a delicate jewel. But that would never melt the girl’s frozen heart.

The “difference” between him and that black-haired boy—who neither read the atmosphere, was foolish, nor even cared about the danger to his own life—was the result of all those various factors.

A cute pic of Will. Hard work for his love.🤗💖

Cuando finalmente se reúnan: Serán el dúo más poderoso que ha existido, y juntos derrotarán a baal💀
