Background / History

Xia Mi is the human-facing identity of Jormungandr, an ancient dragon monarch burdened by memories of innumerable human disguises and a past shaped by royal authority, death, and fate. Though she later longs for ordinary school life and companionship, she remains divided between “Xia Mi” and her dragon identity. 30 32 45

In Beijing, she lived in poverty with her mentally childlike older brother, Old Xia. Before elementary-school graduation, the siblings survived by collecting and selling recyclable scraps. Li Lin’s willingness to share his breakfast money with her despite his own orphanage upbringing became a defining memory. 5 32

During first grade, Li Lin’s Dragon-Slaying Binding System automatically bound him to Xia Mi as the highest-bloodline species nearby. Her progress thereafter was synchronized to him whenever he was inferior, turning their childhood competition into the source of Li Lin’s academic and physical growth. 1

After elementary school, Xia Mi and Li Lin were recruited into Cassel College’s preparatory class. She persistently challenged him in academics, games, and martial arts, hoping to make him acknowledge her superiority and become her follower. 2

Behind her familiar childhood-friend persona, Xia Mi initially viewed Li Lin as a potential weapon against awakening monarchs and rebellious ministers. She considered offering him “eternity,” but restrained herself to preserve the version of Xia Mi he knew. 2

Appearance

Xia Mi appears as a refined, youthful girl whose beauty is repeatedly described as striking even in an ordinary school uniform. Her delicate build disguises the force and durability behind her martial arts. 1 3

• Slender, pale, and apparently fragile despite exceptional physical strength. 3 26
• Long dark coffee-brown hair, sometimes pinned up with curled locks framing her face. 17
• Delicate hands without visible calluses or scars despite years of combat training. 26
• Golden Eyes that reveal her draconic nature when ignited. 17 41

Personality

Xia Mi is arrogant, boastful, sharp-tongued, and intensely competitive. She regularly calls herself a heroine or princess, mocks Li Lin without restraint, and frames her desire to command him as recruiting a personal lackey or retainer. 1 18 24

Her aggression is also her preferred language of intimacy. When upset, bored, jealous, or vulnerable, she tends to provoke Li Lin into sparring, pinch or strike him, or use teasing to avoid direct emotional honesty. 2 5 42

Despite being sociable on the surface, Xia Mi is fundamentally lonely and historically struggled to regard anyone as a genuine friend. Her protectiveness toward Old Xia and her growing attachment to Li Lin expose the compassion beneath her detachment. 5 32

Her affection for Li Lin conflicts with her ambitions. She wants him powerful, alive, and close to her, but also imagines guiding him into becoming a dragon retainer or even a Hybrid Monarch. 39 48

Abilities & Skills

Martial Arts Mastery

Xia Mi is a prodigious close-combat fighter who has trained across numerous boxing styles and continuously develops new techniques in battle. She deliberately keeps herself slightly ahead of Li Lin during their early sparring sessions. 2 3

• Combines Baji Quan and Wing Chun into her self-styled “Xia-style Baji Quan.” 3
• Uses techniques including Mountain-Leaning Strike, Inch Jin, Cross Jin, Bagua Palm, Eight Trigrams Palm, Northern Hung Fist, Emei Seven-Star Strike, and fusion combinations. 3 25 26
• Possesses exceptional combat awareness, often reading attacks and creating or concealing openings to control the pace of a fight. 3
• Her technique remains dangerous even after Li Lin’s S-rank physical enhancement exceeds her public A-rank capabilities. 19 26

Word Spirit: Eye of the Wind King

Xia Mi possesses the high-risk Word Spirit Eye of the Wind King and demonstrates unusually fine control over it. 49

• Its exact effects and activation conditions have not been disclosed.
• Her control is considered sufficient for Angers to assign her as combat support on a high-level exchange mission. 49

Dragon Authority

Xia Mi can reveal overwhelming draconic majesty through her Golden Eyes. Her aura causes Shude Maiyi to mistake her for an awakened Second-Generation Species. 41

• Endures blows that would incapacitate ordinary hybrids. 25
• Conceals the bulk of her true power to preserve her human-student identity. 2 25
• Recognizes the monarch-exclusive principles behind Li Lin’s earth-element manipulation and is alarmed by his immediate aptitude. 18

Bloodline Research and Cultivation

Xia Mi possesses extensive knowledge of dragon bloodlines, alchemy, ancient languages, and Secret Party experimentation. 47 48

• Identified a damaged parchment fragment as part of the Dragon Blood Refinement Technique. 47
• Explained that “Blood Washing” can push Dragon Blood beyond the Critical Blood Limit by burning knowledge, reason, and humanity as fuel. 48
• Warns that reckless refinement can result in madness or transformation into a Dead Servant. 48
• Secretly learned Blood Rage faster than expected, though she refuses to reveal this to Li Lin. 48

Tactical Combat and Firearms

Xia Mi is an opportunistic battlefield strategist who readily combines deception, hand-to-hand combat, firearms, and heavy weaponry. 25

• Betrayed both the Student Union and Lionheart Society during the Day of Freedom to become the last competitor standing. 25
• Exploits opponents’ inexperience with firearms and their familiarity with her habits to create openings. 25
• Neutralized the remaining Day of Freedom combatants with an anesthetic rocket launcher and a captured autocannon. 25
• Acquired intelligence on the Ghosts and the White King’s bloodline directly from Shude Maiyi. 42

• UMP45 submachine gun — Secondary Day of Freedom weapon. 24
• Smoke grenades and alchemical anesthetic grenades — Purchased for the Day of Freedom. 24
• Frigg Bullets and rifles — Acquired with Li Lin in preparation for the event. 23

• Norton Hall — Had the residence renovated through Martial Arts Club funds and Caesar’s connections as Li Lin’s intended residence. 32 34

Relationships

• Li Lin — Childhood friend, martial-arts rival, and the person bound to her by Li Lin’s Dragon-Slaying Binding System. Xia Mi wants him as a retainer, fears losing him to war, and gradually recognizes that she likes him. 1 2 31 32
• Old Xia — Her biologically older but mentally childlike brother. Xia Mi acts as his protector, decision-maker, and effective older sister. 5
• Caesar Gattuso — Political rival for Li Lin’s loyalty. Xia Mi tolerates Caesar’s wealth and influence when they benefit the Martial Arts Club or help protect Li Lin. 18 19
• Su Qian — Friend and frequent gossip partner who repeatedly teases Xia Mi about dating Li Lin. 20 32
• Sakurai Aki — Friendly upperclassman who offers romantic advice and recognizes the intimacy between Xia Mi and Li Lin. 34
• Shude Maiyi — Information broker intimidated into selling intelligence after encountering Xia Mi’s Golden Eyes and dragon authority. 41 42
• Principal Angers — A figure Xia Mi fears because of his revenge-driven nature; his presence makes her drop much of her usual confidence. 45

Story Role / Major Arcs

Cassel College Admission and 3E Exam

Xia Mi enters Cassel College alongside Li Lin after their preparatory-class combat records and bloodline potential earn them early admission. During the 3E Exam, she answers the eight standard questions and receives the expected A-rank result, while Li Lin’s abnormal Spirit Vision unsettles her. 4 17

Student Union and Martial Arts Club

To keep Li Lin from being absorbed entirely into Caesar’s influence, Xia Mi joins the Student Union negotiations and becomes co-head of the Martial Arts Club with him. She values the club’s million-dollar funding as a means of supporting and protecting him. 18 19

Day of Freedom

Xia Mi treats the Day of Freedom as a personal contest rather than a factional battle. After helping the Student Union, she attacks her own allies, eliminates opponents with heavy weapons, and challenges Li Lin to determine the winner through martial arts. 25

Li Lin defeats her in the final duel, ending the balance that had defined their childhood rivalry. Her anger when he prepares to announce that he likes another girl reveals the intensity of her possessiveness. 26

Chicago Date

Xia Mi organizes a date with Li Lin under the guise of an Executive Department “mission,” creating a detailed itinerary, initiating hand-holding, and insisting on shared photographs. 29 30

During the Ferris wheel ride, she recognizes that her attachment to Li Lin is romantic love, though she remains afraid that happiness will inevitably be lost. 31

War Practice and White King Intelligence

While accompanying Li Lin on an A-rank operation, Xia Mi privately obtains intelligence concerning the Ghosts and the possible revival of the White King. The threat makes her consider hiding with Li Lin in a Nibelungen, but she resolves that Jormungandr must investigate Japan instead. 41 42

Lionheart Archives and Blood Rage

Xia Mi enthusiastically joins Li Lin in researching the Lionheart Society’s restricted archives. She identifies the Dragon Blood Refinement Technique, encourages further study, and quietly hopes Li Lin’s pursuit of power will eventually allow her to make him her retainer. 46 47 48

After Li Lin reaches the first stage of Blood Rage, Xia Mi celebrates by preparing him a meal and leaves him a recorded message intended for a future in which she may disappear. 50
