Kalina

Biodata

Background

Kalina comes from a prominent Upper City family and grew up with abundant resources. A student at Dawnlight Academy, she entered the Lower City to hunt an escaped S-Rank Space-Type Contract Spirit as part of an academy assessment 37 43.

Appearance

Kalina is a tall girl with Western features and a defiant, unrestrained expression 45.

• Wheat-colored skin and hair worn in a high ponytail 45.
• Long eyelashes 43.
• Carries her enormous Heaven-Shaking Hammer on her back 35.

Personality

Kalina is straightforward, competitive and eager to fight strong opponents. Bai Chen’s threat to her hammer excited her enough to challenge Lin Luoluo for the Netherworld Grass, and she remained determined even after Bai Chen transformed into Throne Form 35 36.

She is also generous and protective toward people she values. After losing to Lin Luoluo, she honored their bargain, offered her resources and later used her family’s standing to deter the Jiang Family from harming her. Her interest in recruiting Lin Luoluo was both friendly and competitive: she wanted her to have a better life in the Upper City, but also hoped they could defeat Kalina’s academy rivals together 37 43 49.

Abilities & Skills

Heaven-Shaking Hammer

Kalina’s Contract Spirit is an S-Rank, Second Tier weapon-type spirit with ice and metal attributes 36.

• Its metal attribute gives it exceptional weight and sturdiness; its ice attribute lends its attacks a freezing chill 36.
• Kalina wields the enormous hammer with enough force to leave craters and scatter stone. She shook off Bai Chen’s tentacles when they wrapped around its handle 36.
• The hammer reacted to Bai Chen’s presence before their fight, humming and trembling as though threatened 35.

Ice Explosion

Ice Explosion is an A-Rank Life Skill and Kalina’s strongest documented attack. She had comprehended two A-Rank Life Skills, though the other is unnamed 36.

• Concentrated cold forms a phantom around the hammer, enlarging it into a gigantic ice weapon covered in icicles 36.
• The skill lowers the surrounding temperature and spreads frost across the ground 36.
• Kalina poured all her remaining Star Energy into the attack against Bai Chen, but his tentacle barrier shattered its icy phantom and left Lin Luoluo unharmed 36.

Story Role

Netherworld Grass and recruitment

Kalina claimed Netherworld Grass in the Forest Grotto before Lin Luoluo could retrieve it. Rather than accept two Second Tier magic crystals for the plant, she offered it as the prize in a fight. Bai Chen and Lin Luoluo defeated her after Bai Chen activated Throne Form, and she handed over the grass as promised 35 36 37.

After learning that Lin Luoluo had left school and been rejected by Mining Teams because of her disability, Kalina invited her to join a team for the National Contract Spirit Master Competition, offering equipment, potions and training facilities. Before Lin Luoluo could answer, an Illusion Dream Butterfly’s hypnotic powder put Kalina to sleep 37 38.

When Kalina awoke, she was shocked to learn that Bai Chen had advanced to the Second Tier. She told Lin Luoluo about Dawnlight Academy’s upcoming special admissions selection, which offered successful candidates Upper City residency, and encouraged her to enter 43.

Wager with Jiang Chen

Kalina and Lin Luoluo encountered Kalina’s academy rival Jiang Chen and the Jiang Family in the grotto. After Jiang Chen belittled Lin Luoluo and Bai Chen, Jiang Ruoxue challenged Lin Luoluo, and Kalina wagered the operating rights to a contested Dawnlight Academy shop on the outcome 45 46.

When Jiang Chutian interfered in the duel and sent a sword strike at Lin Luoluo, Kalina placed herself in its path, forcing him to stop the attack. Lin Luoluo won, Jiang Chutian apologized under Jiang Chen’s orders, and Jiang Chen agreed to transfer the shop. Before leaving, Kalina warned the Jiang Family that harming Lin Luoluo would mean war with the Carter Family 48 49.

At the mine exit, Kalina gave Lin Luoluo a Storage Ring and its contents in thanks for helping her family obtain the shop cheaply. The contents included two Third Tier Demon Crystals and two Demon corpses, which Kalina had found after the Demons killed each other. She then left to secure the shop in the Upper City 50.
