By Anglie's departure from Maruya	Third-class apprentice	Adolf had reached the third-class apprentice stage but stated that he could no longer become an official wizard 43.

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.

By the time Anglie returned to Maruya as an official wizard, Adolf had risen to the position of Maruya Port's governor, also referred to as deputy governor. His influence and longstanding protection had helped the Leo Family grow stronger during Anglie's absence 140 141 142.

Centuries later, Anglie sought information on Adolf's descendants after returning to the Leo Family. He learned that Adolf's family had completely vanished, reportedly owing to the exceptionally low fertility associated with wizard families 570.

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.

Adolf is deeply proud of Anglie's success, regarding the latter's advancement to official wizard as the realization of a dream Adolf himself could not achieve. He was visibly emotional upon their reunion, while continuing to show paternal concern for Sophia and her wellbeing 142 143.

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.

Reunion with Anglie

After Anglie's return to Maruya, Adolf welcomes his former student into the same villa where their mentorship began. Moved by Anglie's attainment of official wizard status, he receives the returned copy of The Journey of the Heart and discusses Sophia's distress following her abandonment by a wandering bard 142 143.

Legacy

Long after Adolf's era, Anglie attempts to locate the family of the mentor who had supported the Leo Family in its early years. He is informed that Adolf's line has vanished, with low fertility cited as the principal cause 570.
