Grim

The protagonist's magical beast partner. He is a loudmouth and a bit of a show-off. He calls the protagonist his "henchman" and styles himself the "boss" (though everyone around them treats the protagonist as Grim's guardian). He is recognized as a student only by being paired with the protagonist, who cannot use magic at all. He claims to be a genius and declares he will become a great mage someday, yet he dislikes tedious effort and loathes mundane lessons. Perhaps because of this, he struggles with academic classes and frequently sneaks out of them. As a magical beast, he lacks basic knowledge of human society, often taking on the role of asking questions on the protagonist's behalf. Likely due to his aversion to hard work, his grades are poor; he is quick to spot "cheat sheets" created by Azul and has no qualms about taking the easy route to get good marks.
