Occupation/Role	Linguistics instructor; deputy minister of the security department; third-class apprentice
First Appearance	38

Background / History

Adolf was invited to teach linguistics at Maruya Academy, where he was regarded as Maruya Port's most prestigious language master and a leading academic figure. His classes were known for their severity, precision, and directness; he taught Bolunian and Angmarian and was proficient in more than ten languages 38.

Though publicly a scholar and instructor, Adolf was also the Port City's deputy minister of the security department. He investigated Anglie Leo's background before disclosing this position, but valued Anglie's dedication to wizardry more than his reaction to Adolf's status 39.

Adolf had long sought traces of wizards and had distributed The Journey of the Heart, a book by the wizard Berkville Henry, to many young people. Anglie was the only recipient able to perceive the book's true contents and return to Adolf seeking further guidance 42.

He identified himself as a third-class apprentice who could no longer become an official wizard. Seeing potential in Anglie, he chose to support the younger man's advancement instead, providing the rare Soul-Death Grass and arranging a recommendation slot for a wizard-organization transport ship 43.

Appearance

Adolf is an elderly, scholarly man with graying hair and a white beard. His manner is stern and rigid in class, while his voice and demeanor often reflect his age and fatigue 38 45.

• Elderly man with graying hair 38
• Later described as white-bearded 45
• Keeps a red-and-white villa in the Maluya district, with a study lined by red leather-bound books 39
• Often wears a white night robe while resting at home 42

Personality

Adolf is exacting, serious, and highly disciplined. He treats his academy course as a paid arrangement rather than a social venue, showing impatience toward students who use his classes to cultivate connections rather than learn 38.

Despite this severity, he is deeply invested in Anglie's potential. He recognizes Anglie's sincerity and persistence, entrusts him with forbidden wizarding knowledge, and spends several thousand gold coins' worth of resources on his foundation 39 42 43.

His support is pragmatic as well as personal. Adolf openly views Anglie as an investment in the future and ties their interests together by agreeing to protect Anglie's family. He had initially hoped to secure that bond through an engagement between Anglie and Sophia, but accepted Anglie as his godson after Sophia refused 43.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Maruya Academy

Anglie enrolls in Adolf's linguistics course to prepare for Andes Alliance Academy. Adolf notices Anglie's unusually rapid mastery of Bolunian and Angmarian, then probes his intentions when Anglie asks about Alliance Academy's language standards 38.

Anglie's Mentorship

After Anglie candidly admits his interest in wizards, Adolf brings him to his villa and begins personally teaching him Elarasian. Over the next six months, their relationship develops beyond that of ordinary teacher and student; Adolf eventually gives Anglie Berkville Henry's book and reveals the author's identity as a wizard 39.

Foundation for Wizard Training

When Anglie learns that Soul-Death Grass is too expensive and restricted to acquire normally, Adolf confirms that Anglie passed the book's test and offers his own Black Trefoil. He accepts Anglie as his godson, agrees to look after Anglie's relatives, and explains the opportunity to join a distant wizard organization by ship 42 43.

Departure from Maruya

Adolf guides Anglie through his final preparations, warns him to be discreet, and arranges for Nancy to protect him during the voyage. He sees Anglie off at Maruya Port as the wizard-organization fleet arrives 43 45 46.
