Personality

Wang Quan is flamboyant, boastful, and intensely proud of being a mage. He regularly disparages Knight Academy students as muscle-brained barbarians, considers magic the strongest profession, and claims he can defeat ten knights alone. 8 19 His confidence is rooted in genuine talent, though it often makes him dismissive of caution or inconvenient tactics such as ice and hypnosis magic. 21 28

Despite his arrogance, he is dependable where it matters. He arranges expeditions, buys maps and VIP portal access in advance, fairly divides team spoils, and has deep faith in Gu Xin's card-making ability. 9 20 29 49 He also has clear moral boundaries: when he suspects Gu Xin may have used innocent humans to refine a humanoid card, he seriously warns his friend against pursuing that path. 22

Abilities & Skills

Three-Element Magic

Wang Quan is an exceptionally rare three-element mage with fire, lightning, and ice attributes. He possesses first-class mana talent and learns second-tier spells far faster than ordinary mages. 21 38

• Uses fire magic such as Rolling Fire Wheels, Great Fireball, and Flame Spear. 21 25
• Uses lightning magic, though its destructive power can ruin monster corpses Gu Xin wants intact. 21
• Can use ice magic to freeze enemies, including Fang Wolves. 21 24
• Prefers fire and lightning for their destructive force; he considers ice magic comparatively weak and uses it less often. 21 38
• Is a Rank 2 mage during the Balen secret-realm expedition. 25

Summoning Card Use

Although he is a mage rather than a card maker, Wang Quan can use magic cards with the usual non-card-maker restrictions. 8

• Uses [Bandit Goblin], initially to humiliate Knight Academy students and later to pull the injured Meng Xiu out from beneath the Loess Giant. 8 21
• Purchases Gu Xin's two-star purple [Fist Demon] for 7 million credits, gaining a powerful close-combat summon with Flesh Regeneration. 49
• Values summon cards that can compensate for mages' slow casting and weak close-range combat. 22 49

Hypnosis Magic

Wang Quan can cast hypnosis magic through his considerable mental power. 28

• Hypnotizes a royal maid during the Balen treasury infiltration to learn the treasury's location. 29
• Considers hypnosis of limited use against opponents at his own level and generally prefers direct magical force. 28

Expedition Leadership

Wang Quan is capable at organizing and leading secret-realm expeditions despite his unserious social habits. 9

• Assembles Gu Xin, Meng Xiu, and Blue Lotus for a Tier 2 secret-realm party. 19
• Reserves VIP portal tickets and purchases a secret-realm map from the Adventurers' Guild. 20
• Chooses the mine route toward Balen Royal City after studying the map. 20
• Handles loot distribution fairly after the expedition, while giving Gu Xin additional credit for defeating the major threats. 29

Equipment / Cards

• Ruby-inlaid staff — Used to channel his magic. 21
• [Bandit Goblin] — A one-star green summon card given to him by Gu Xin. 8 21
• [Fist Demon] — A two-star purple epic summon card purchased from Gu Xin; it combines aggressive melee combat with powerful regeneration. 49
• Spatial ring — Holds supplies, including multiple Chimera Wings. 29
• Secret-realm map — Purchased from the Adventurers' Guild for the Balen expedition. 20

Relationships

• Gu Xin — Close friend and frequent adventuring partner. Wang Quan trusts Gu Xin's cards completely, supports his plans, and calls him “Da Gu” and “brother”; however, he firmly warns Gu Xin not to use innocent people as card-refining materials. 8 9 22 48 49
• Meng Xiu — Fellow Balen expedition member. Wang Quan relies on Meng Xiu as the party's front-line defender despite regularly mocking knights in general. 19 22
• Blue Lotus — Fellow mage and Balen expedition teammate. She often counters Wang Quan's overconfidence, while he teases her for trying to recruit Gu Xin for the academy tournament. 19 28 29
• Knight Academy students — Frequent rivals. Wang Quan openly looks down on knights and repeatedly clashes with their students, including disputes involving [Bandit Goblin] and a karaoke-club hostess. 8 49
• Toyokawa Shoko — Gu Xin asks Wang Quan to prepare basic magical insights for Shoko after learning of her first-class talent; Wang Quan agrees, while noting that his attributes differ from hers. 48

Story Role / Major Arcs

Academy Life

Wang Quan is introduced as Gu Xin's blond-haired classmate and friend. He boasts about using Gu Xin's [Bandit Goblin] to steal two Knight Academy students' underwear, then invites Gu Xin to a gathering and informs him about the academy tournament and a newly discovered Tier 2 secret realm. 8

He recruits Gu Xin for the secret-realm expedition and proves reliable in arranging the team, even if Gu Xin regards his fondness for dinners and karaoke as unserious. 9

Balen Secret-Realm Expedition

Wang Quan leads Gu Xin, Meng Xiu, and Blue Lotus into the Balen Tier 2 secret realm using Adventurers' Guild access and a purchased map. 19 20 He uses Rolling Fire Wheels to annihilate a swarm of night bats, but his powerful attacks also destroy magical-creature remains that Gu Xin hoped to collect. 21

During the fight with the Loess Giant, Wang Quan's Flame Spear damages the monster but cannot decisively break its defenses. He summons [Bandit Goblin] to rescue Meng Xiu, after which Gu Xin summons Akaza to kill the giant while preserving its body. 21 Wang Quan later questions Gu Xin privately about Akaza's humanoid origin and accepts the explanation once he learns that cultists were used as materials rather than innocents. 22

When the disguised king is exposed as the Silver Demon, Wang Quan launches the first attack with a Great Fireball, only for the demon's magic resistance to deflect it. 25 After Gu Xin kills the Silver Demon, Wang Quan joins him in attempting to raid the ownerless royal treasury, using hypnosis magic to gain access. The treasury is largely empty, but the pair discover a hidden black glove radiating dark energy. 28 29

Later Support for Gu Xin

Wang Quan arrives promptly when Gu Xin calls him to discuss a Sea World secret realm rumored to contain merfolk. He agrees to support the expedition, though he suspects Gu Xin's interest in merfolk may be less than purely practical. 48

After another conflict with Knight Academy students, Wang Quan asks Gu Xin for a summon that can both fight and endure attacks. He purchases [Fist Demon] for 7 million credits and is thrilled by its melee power and regenerative trait. 49
