Sion Ulster is a male Lyzans student who begins as a classmate and bully of Will Serfort but later comes to see him as a rival after being saved by him in a life‑threatening dungeon incident.
Sion is a proud young mage-in-training belonging to the Lyzans race.
He looks down on those he considers weaker, especially the “incompetent” Will Serfort, at least at the start of the story.
During an emergency in a dungeon, Sion is saved by Will and witnesses his overwhelming close-quarters combat ability.
This event shakes Sion’s values and quietly transforms his hostility into a burning sense of rivalry.
After graduation, Sion joins the Flame Faction within the Tower, aligning himself with powerful fire-oriented mages.
Despite his brash exterior, he struggles with complex feelings of admiration, jealousy, and unrequited affection.
Sion is characterized by his strong pride and competitive nature.
He initially believes strength and value are obvious and visible, which is why he openly looks down on Will as a supposed “incompetent.”
He is not inherently malicious, but his arrogance makes him insensitive and abrasive.
His bullying of Will stems more from prejudice and insecurity than from true cruelty.
After the dungeon incident, Sion’s worldview is forced to change.
Seeing Will’s superhuman melee combat firsthand makes Sion painfully aware of his own limitations.
From that point on, he develops a complicated rivalry toward Will.
Outwardly he may still act aloof, but internally he is driven by the desire not to lose to him again.
Relationship with Will Serfort
At school, Sion is one of the classmates who torments Will.
He mocks Will’s lack of magical ability and treats him as beneath notice.
This dynamic is shattered when they face a deadly crisis in a dungeon.
Will saves Sion’s life, fighting in a way that far exceeds normal human limits.
Sion witnesses Will’s superhuman close-combat prowess right in front of him.
The shock of that experience turns Sion’s contempt into grudging respect and rivalry.
He cannot easily apologize or openly admit his admiration because of his pride.
Instead, his feelings come out as competitiveness and a stubborn refusal to be left behind.
Relationship with Colette Loire
Sion secretly has romantic feelings for Colette Loire.
Unfortunately for him, Colette is completely focused on Will and hardly registers Sion as a potential love interest.
Because Sion used to bully Will, Colette also struggles to trust him.
Even when he tries to approach her more sincerely, that past colors her perception of him.
His attempts to get closer to Colette are awkward and often backfire.
What he intends as clumsy kindness or bravado tends to misfire and ends up as empty gestures in her eyes.
This unrequited crush adds a layer of frustration to Sion’s daily life.
He is caught between guilt over his past behavior, jealousy toward Will, and his genuine affection for Colette.
Sion starts as a minor school bully archetype but grows into a more nuanced rival figure.
His development tracks the shift from shallow prejudice to a more mature understanding of strength and worth.
The dungeon crisis is the pivotal turning point in his arc.
It exposes him to both real danger and real heroism, forcing him to reassess his own courage and abilities.
By the time he graduates, Sion has chosen a path that reflects his fiery personality.
He joins the Flame Faction within the Tower, an organization or group aligned with fire magic and its practitioners.
Within the Flame Faction, Sion likely focuses on honing offensive and high-impact spells.
His pride and ambition find a new outlet there, pushing him to grow beyond the bully he once was.
Even as he advances, his rivalry with Will continues to shape his motivations.
Whether he admits it or not, Sion’s drive to improve is closely tied to not wanting to be overshadowed by Will again.
The original description focuses more on Sion’s perspective than on his concrete skills.
He is not portrayed as weak in an absolute sense, but rather as someone outclassed when compared with Will’s extraordinary close-quarters combat.
Sion’s future affiliation with the Flame Faction suggests a talent or affinity for fire-based magic.
His combat style likely emphasizes direct, powerful offense that matches his bold and proud temperament.
Seeing Will’s superhuman melee combat reveals a gap Sion cannot ignore.
This gap is what fuels his desire to strengthen his own spells and become someone who can stand as Will’s equal.
