Gakushuu

Gakushuu is a captain of Nanyo Academy. He is an A Rank Fighter, known for his incredible strength, and level-headed demeanor. He serves as both a field commander and advisor to Sonsaku Hakafu.

Appearance
Gakushuu is a towering, muscular boy. He has short, spiky brown hair which he keeps controlled with a headband. He typically has a flat, serious expression on his face that makes him hard to read. He is rarely seen outside of his uniform, even on his days off.

Personality
Gakushuu is something of a gentle giant. While he is quite capable of inflicting massive pain in a fight, he has a strong sense of honour, as well as a soft spot for cute and innocent things. He is surprisingly intelligent, and rather cautious in his action, making him a balancing factor for Hakafu, on the rare cases she listens to him.

Abilities
Gakushuu is a master of both the Bear Claw and Tiger Claw fighting stances. He is capable of fusing them to devastating effect.

Sonsaku Hakafu
Gakushuu has a lot of respect for Hakafu's ability as a fighter. When they first met, she terrified him with her ability, and that fear has stayed with him for a long time since, even if he's come around on her since. He sometimes wishes she would be a little more predictable, and take her role a bit more seriously, but he is completely loyal to her all the same.

Koukin Shuuyu
Gakushuu and Koukin are good friends. Shortly after Hakafu arrived at Nanyo, Gakushuu predicted that she would become the new prince following the previous prince's weakness. He turned to Koukin to help guide and control Hakafu's wild nature, and in the process became close friends with both of them, but especially Koukin. Now that Hakafu is prince, Gakushuu is even closer with Koukin, as they need to work together often to curb Hakafu's wild desires.

Shimei Ryomou
Gakushuu and Ryomou have known each other for the longest out of all the Nanyo captains. They had a tense history as captains under the previous prince, and his leadership style encouraged competition between them. They likewise had a rocky relationship as Hakafu took over, but Gakushuu came to respect and appreciate Ryomou, as well as see her dedication to Nanyo as they had to work together to navigate the tense situation Hakafu's transition left them in.

Hanae Nakano
Gakushuu has a soft spot for Hanae, and views her as something like a little sister. He enjoys treating her to sweets when they hang out together, but prefers to spend time with her in a broader group. As a captain, Gakushuu has concerns about Hanae's usefulness to the school.
