Felix

Felix is Leo Skyshard's assigned partner during Rodova Military Academy's lethal entrance examination.

Biography

A partnership ended by the final test

Leo selects Felix because instinct tells him that the nervous, gourd-laden candidate is a capable killer. Alcohol temporarily confirms that judgment: Felix becomes fearless enough to evade Thunder Serpent and help kill Kael, though his noise and bravado also expose their position. After they survive the paired stage, the academy seals each duo together and orders only one candidate to leave alive. Sober again, Felix panics and lacks the resolve to resist effectively; Leo warns him before attacking, kills him, and later interprets Felix's failure to fight back as the decisive weakness separating them. (Chapters 6, 14, 20–22)

Appearance and personality

Felix has an awkward, heavy frame and initially appears sweaty, twitchy, and anxious. Sober, he hesitates even when ordered to destroy an opponent's escape crystal; drunk, his fear gives way to crude jokes, aggressive confidence, and dangerous skill. The change is useful but unreliable, because intoxication also makes him loud and strategically reckless. (Chapters 6, 14, 19–20)

Abilities and power progression

Felix fights with a short sword and daggers. While intoxicated, he sways around Kael's guided electrified chain, closes distance, and helps turn a seemingly unfavorable fight; the observed effect is sharpened courage and combat performance, not a named supernatural alcohol skill. Sober Felix shows no comparable resolve. The corpus gives no cultivation tier, mana technique, quantified duration, safe dosage, or progression before Leo kills him. (Chapters 6, 14, 20–22)

Relationships

  • Leo Skyshard: Leo chooses Felix, protects and commands him through the paired test, then kills him when the academy forces the partners into a death match. (Chapters 6–22)

Items

Felix carries two daggers, a short sword, and five large gourds of alcohol. The alcohol changes his demeanor and practical fighting performance, but no special name or supernatural property is established. (Chapters 6, 14)
