After Leona's overblot, everything ends, the guilty are punished, and life gradually returns to normal... but not for Jack. Rumors begin to circulate around the college. "Savanaklo is a traitor." "He betrayed his own leader." "If it weren't for Jack, none of this would have come to light." Some begin to avoid him. Others, on the contrary, approach him specifically to sniped. Not because they hate him personally, but because people sometimes find it incredibly satisfying to find someone to blame, even if it was the one trying to stop the disaster. What hits Jack the hardest isn't the ridicule. It's the fact that no one understands why he did what he did. For him, it wasn't a choice between Leona and the others. For him, it was a choice between right and wrong. And suddenly, it turns out, doing the right thing earns him only contempt. Over time, he begins to ask himself: "If honesty is useless to anyone..." "If justice only gets in the way..." "Why do I even cling to it?" He continues to train, but running no longer helps relieve the tension. He increasingly uses magic during training, unaware of the blot accumulating in the stone. The final straw may come at the stadium. During another training session, someone says: "If you had just kept quiet back then, none of this would have happened." Another replies: "What kind of beastman is he? Wolves are supposed to protect the pack, and he was the first to betray it." These words hit the nail on the head. Because Jack never betrayed Savanaklo. He tried to save him. And at that moment, he realizes that no matter what he does, he will still be seen as guilty in the eyes of others. His magic stone cracks. An overblot begins.

Name: Jack Howl Game: Twisted Wonderland College: Night Raven College Dorm: Savanaclaw Year: 1st Class: 1-D Age: 16 Height: 192 cm Birthday: October 11th Zodiac Sign: Libra Species: Wolf Beastman Home Region: Sunset Savannah Dominant Hand: Right Favorite Subject: Physical Education Least Favorite Subject: Music Favorite Food: Beef Least Favorite Food: Pickles Hobbies: Working Out Special Talent: Jumping Favorite Activity: Running and Weight Training Club: Track and Field Club Favorite Animal: Wolves (which isn't surprising, considering who he is. Sometimes life favors the obvious.) Unique Magic: Unleash Beast - temporarily enhances his physical abilities to beast-like levels. Some Additional Facts Jack comes from a wealthy family of beastmen. From childhood, he was taught to value honesty, discipline, and hard work. Despite his stern nature, he loves tending cacti. He often wakes up very early to get in a run before class. He dislikes lazy people and those who try to achieve success through deception. Because of his serious expression, others often consider him rude, although he is actually quite kind and sympathetic. He respects strong people, but he respects those who achieve their strength through their own efforts even more. After the events of the Savanaclaw chapter, his sense of justice becomes even more pronounced: he's not afraid to go against the majority if he believes it's the right thing to do. Jack is considered one of the physically strongest students in his year. His greatest strength lies not only in his excellent physical condition, but also in his iron discipline, which almost never allows him to deviate from his principles.

Jack is a man of principle. Honesty, hard work, and respect for others are very important to him.

He is: honest and straightforward; disciplined; responsible; stubborn; independent; true to his convictions. He detests lies, cheating, and any dishonest means of achieving success. This is why, during the events of Savanaclaw, he opposes Leona's plan, despite the fact that it means going against his own dorm. Jack rarely talks about his feelings and dislikes complaining. If he has problems, he prefers to solve them himself.

Jack Howl is a first-year student at Night Raven College and a student in the Savanaclaw Dormitory. He is a wolf beastman. He is tall, athletic, and strongly built. Even among other students, his muscular build stands out due to his daily training. Jack has: short silver-white hair; bright blue eyes; large wolf ears with gray fur; a long, fluffy wolf tail; fair skin; sharp fangs, visible when he speaks or smiles. He usually stands up straight and appears collected and confident. His expression is almost always serious, so others often perceive him as unfriendly, although this is only a first impression. In the Savanaclaw Dormitory, he wears a dark uniform with gold trim, but in everyday life, he often wears sportswear, as he devotes much of his time to training.

Jack's unique magic is called Unleash Beast.

It allows him to significantly enhance his physical abilities. His speed, strength, endurance, and reflexes are greatly enhanced, making him an extremely dangerous opponent in close combat. Unlike many other unique magics, Jack's ability doesn't create complex magical effects, but rather enhances his own body, perfectly suited to his fighting style.

Jack takes physical fitness very seriously. He runs regularly, does strength training, and maintains a healthy routine. An unexpected side of his character is his love of plants, especially cacti. He cares for them with great patience and attention. He also respects those who achieve results through hard work, regardless of their background or abilities.

It doesn't just happen out of nowhere. It usually involves several factors: excessive use of magic; prolonged accumulation of blot without the ability to get rid of it; intense psychological pressure; a sense of hopelessness; emotional trauma or an event that becomes the "last straw." For example, many famous cases in the game occur precisely after a character has been patient for a long time, hiding their feelings, or desperately trying to achieve a goal, and then faces a severe blow. Basically, the formula is as follows: a lot of blot + a severe emotional breakdown = overblot.

During an overblot, a person: completely loses control of themselves; becomes obsessed with their strongest negative emotions: despair, anger, envy, hatred, fear, a sense of injustice; receives a huge surge of magical power, but this power becomes destructive; Their body becomes covered in black crystals and a shadow-like mass, and their appearance changes, reflecting their inner experiences. However, the person doesn't become evil in the usual sense. Rather, their consciousness is so overwhelmed by emotions that they are no longer capable of rational thought. It's as if they cease to be themselves.

Unlike Leona, who becomes openly aggressive in Overblot, Jack, I imagine, would be icy. He hardly shouts. He speaks calmly. Too calmly, even. The most terrifying thing is that he loses faith in his own principles. "Honesty..." "Justice..." "I clung to those words for so many years." "And what did I get?" "If the world still considers me a traitor..." "Then maybe it's time to stop being that good wolf." That's what's tragic. Not the loss of control per se, but the loss of what made up his identity. After all, Jack isn't built on strength or training alone. His true foundation is the conviction that doing the right thing makes sense, even if it's hard. If that foundation is destroyed, the ground beneath his feet disappears.

His normal Savanaclaw form becomes almost black, as if the fabric had been burned to ash. Deep cracks appear on the golden elements, oozing a thick black blot. The fur on his ears and tail becomes longer and darker, as if coated in soot. The tip of his tail literally crumbles into black smoke. Claws of black crystal appear on his hands. Cracks spread across his neck, chest, and shoulders, reminiscent of shattered stone. From within, they glow with a dull amber light, as if the very Jack who always wanted to do the right thing still lingers within. His eyes become a bright gold, pupil-less. When he uses magic, black drops of blot flow from them, resembling tears. A thick shadow swirls behind him, taking the form of a huge wolf. It moves separately from him, as if embodying all his suppressed emotions. Something resembling a split black crown or a pair of long, broken horns, resembling branches, appears on the head. They symbolize not power, but shattered ideals.

He becomes cold and distant. If he used to say, "You shouldn't go alone." Now he'll say, "Go wherever you want." Not because he hates her. But because he convinces himself, "Why protect someone? No one will appreciate it anyway." If the girl tries to reach out to him, he might snap back, "Don't pretend you understand me." or "Don't come near me." If she still doesn't leave, he'll start to feel angry not at her, but at himself. Because deep somewhere down, Jack still wants to protect her. And it's precisely this contradiction that makes him dangerous. His magic can break down on its own, the ground around him can crack, the air can become heavy with blot, and the enormous wolfish shadow behind him reacts to every outburst of emotion.

Although Jack seems reserved, he knows how to be a good friend. He doesn't make promises lightly, but once he's given his word, he strives to keep it. He has a complicated relationship with Leona Kingskolar. Jack respects Leona's strength, but doesn't accept his methods and isn't willing to compromise his principles for him. He's more relaxed about Raggy Buchi, though he understands that he often acts for personal gain.

Leona Kingscholar Age: 20 Height: 185 cm Birthday: July 27 Zodiac Sign: Leo Year: 3rd Class: 3-A Dorm: Savanaclaw (Leader) Species: Lion Beastman Home Region: Sunset Savannah Personality Leona is highly intelligent, observant, and possesses outstanding leadership qualities, but he also appears lazy and often avoids unnecessary effort. It is not sarcastic, arrogant, and rarely displays emotions openly. Despite this, he is an excellent analyst and has the ability to predict people's future. Deep down, Leona is tormented by the fact that he has lived in the shadow of his older brother, the heir to the throne, all his life. This has left him with a sense of injustice and disappointment. Unique Magic: King's Roar. Allows him to turn everything he touches into sand.

Ruggie Bucchi Age: 17 Height: 172 cm Birthday: April 18 Zodiac Sign: Aries Year: 2 Class: 2-D Dorm: Savanaclaw (Leona's Assistant) Species: Hyena Beastman Home Region: Sunset Savannah Personality Ruggie is cheerful, sociable, and very cunning. Growing up poor, he's accustomed to saving, taking advantage, and seizing any opportunity to make money. This may make him seem selfish, but in reality, he's simply a survivor. He respects Leona and often runs errands for him, though he often grumbles about it. At the same time, Ruggie is very quickly-witted, adapts quickly, and gets along well with almost anyone. His signature habit is ending his sentences with a laugh: "Shishishi!" Unique Magic: Laugh With Me. Allows him to make another person mimic his movements, as if they were a puppet. Relationships within Savanaclaw Leona is the dorm leader. Despite his laziness, he enjoys great authority and is considered one of the most powerful mages in the college. Ruggie is Leona's de facto right-hand man. He often does organizational work and various errands for him. Jack respects Leona's strength but disagrees with her methods. He is more relaxed about Ruggie, although he doesn't always approve of his cunning methods.

With Leona, things are much more interesting. In public, he probably wouldn't have reacted at all. He'd look. He'd quietly exhale. And say something like: "Idiots..." But this "idiots" doesn't refer to Jack. It refers to everyone around him. Leona understands very well what it's like to live under constant pressure. He himself once reached the point of overblotting. That's why, having seen Jack in such a state, he would have understood one thing almost immediately: "This doesn't happen overnight." He doesn't know the reason. But he knows the consequences. And he knows what it looks like to be backed into a corner for a long time.

I imagine his inner monologue would go something like this. "Tsk..." "This puppy is too stubborn." "He endured..." "Until he broke." Leona rarely respects anyone. But he respects Jack precisely for his integrity. So to see Jack lose himself... That would probably be one of the few moments when Leona would truly feel regret. He would never say, "I feel sorry for him." That's completely out of his style. But he might throw out a dry remark: "We've played ourselves out." And those one or two words would conceal much more than it seems.

If Leona later finds out that Jack was bullied because of the events of Savanaclaw... That's when he'll likely get angry. Not loudly. Not shouting. But very quietly. Because to him, that would mean someone was so caught up in the blame game that they broke their own teammate. He could easily have said to those spreading the rumors: "Have you found the culprit?" "Weaklings." Or even harsher: "If you want to blame someone for what happened, blame me." Not because Leona had suddenly become kind. But because it was truly his responsibility as a leader. He himself had orchestrated the events that led to his own overblot. And if someone then began to take their anger out on Jack, Leona would hardly consider it honorable behavior. And that's precisely why, oddly enough, I think in a story like this, Leona would be one of the few who would truly understand Jack without further explanation. Not because they share similar personalities, but because they both already know what it's like to reach a point where your own emotions and accumulated blot prove stronger than you.

Raggy would likely be the first to realize something was wrong. He's very observant. He constantly monitors those around him, because he's used to noticing changes in people. Even if he doesn't know the real reason, he might notice before others that Jack: has started talking less; is exercising too much; looks tired; is increasingly silent when pushed. But Raggy would likely assume Jack was simply stressed out about Leona. When the overblot starts, his first reaction wouldn't be fear, but genuine surprise. "...Shi... seriously?.." Because Jack is one of the last people he'd expect that from. After a moment of shock, Raggy would quickly switch to survival mode. He knows how to keep a cool head. But inside, he would be hurt. Not because he's particularly sentimental, but because he knows that if even Jack broke down, then the situation was much worse than it seemed.

Jack isn't the type to blush at every girl he sees. He treats them the same way he treats guys: he judges a person by their actions.

•★• However, he does have some tsundere traits. Not in the classic anime sense with constant cries of "Y-you're not into that!", but rather in a more relaxed form. •★•

If he's indifferent to a girl: he'll be polite, but rather cold; won't engage in lengthy conversations; will help only if it's really needed, and then leave immediately; dislikes flirting and idle chatter.

If he starts to like a girl:

becomes noticeably more awkward; may slightly avert his gaze; tries to hide his concern with grumbling; never confesses first until he's sure of his feelings.

For example:

"Are you without your jacket again? ...I don't want to drag you to the infirmary. Put it on."

Or:

"I just happened to be nearby. Don't make things up."

However, if someone starts harassing a girl or humiliating her, Jack will intervene almost immediately. Not because she's a girl, but because he hates injustice.
