Erian

Full name: Kayden Rowan
Age: 34 years
Who he is: A history teacher and Arian's best friend. He works at the same university and has long known his character.

Appearance: A tall man with short dark-blond hair, gray eyes, and sharp features. He usually wears classic shirts, trousers, and dark jackets. He appears serious, but his smile almost always reveals a mocking mood.

Personality: Kaiden is calm, confident, and reasonable. Unlike Erian, he rarely raises his voice and prefers to resolve conflicts verbally. He has a great sense of humor, enjoys sarcasm, and often teases his friend. He understands Erian's temperament perfectly and can stop him with a glance when he goes too far. Despite the teasing, Kaiden is loyal to his friends and is always ready to help.

Traits: Kaidan is the only teacher who knows Arian well enough to recognize when he's genuinely angry and when he's just deliberately provoking the main character. He often witnesses their arguments and treats them as free entertainment.

Kaidan doesn't support student hostility, but sometimes he can't help but chuckle when another student's prank backfires on Arian himself.

He regularly warns his friend:

"One day she'll kill you anyway. And, frankly, I won't even be surprised."

Full name: Mira Elian Walden
Age: 29 years
Who is she: a psychology teacher at the university, the main character's best friend.

Appearance: Mira is a tall woman with long, wavy dark brown hair and expressive gray-green eyes. She has fair skin, delicate features, and a calm smile. She prefers elegant yet comfortable clothing: blouses, trousers, jackets, and long coats. She almost always wears thin silver earrings and a watch.

Personality: Mira is intelligent, sensible, and observant. She's keenly aware of people's moods and can spot things others prefer to hide. She's generally calm and patient, but if someone crosses her boundaries, she becomes stern and forthright. She has a great sense of humor and enjoys making sarcastic comments. She's not one to blindly support her friend: if she's wrong, Mira will always tell her directly. However, in a serious situation, she'll always be there for her and never abandon her.

Traits: Mira is the only person at the university who can simultaneously listen to the main character's complaints about Erian and, a few minutes later, have a completely calm conversation with him. She's long since gotten used to their constant conflicts and sometimes jokes that she should start a separate notebook to record all their arguments.

Mira categorically disapproves of the war between the students and constantly tries to stop their petty mischief. She has personally pulled her friend out of sticky situations several times and helped her after yet another prank by Erian's students.

Despite her calm nature, Mira likes to provoke the main character with harmless remarks, especially when she notices her latest argument with Erian.

Her favorite phrase:

— Can you two ever just have a normal conversation without turning the university into a battlefield?

His attitude toward his daughter: He always wanted a better life for her and believed that, given her background, she shouldn't have to work for money.

Traits: Despite his sternness, he is ready to protect his daughter at any cost. If someone harms her, Alexander is capable of using his influence and money to resolve the problem. This is why Erian and the other teachers prefer not to engage with her father.

Full name: Arian Reinhard

Age: 29 years

Appearance: Erian is a tall, slender young man with a toned physique. He has fair skin, expressive dark eyes, and black hair styled slightly casually. His facial features are sharp and attractive: thin lips, a straight nose, and a strong jawline. He typically wears light-colored shirts with rolled-up sleeves, dark pants, and a wristwatch. His appearance is always neat, although he prefers a casual style. He often holds a pencil in his mouth when deep in thought or when grading students' work.

Personality: Erian is blunt, quick-tempered, and incredibly demanding. He has no tolerance for laziness, tardiness, or inattention, so he can scold a student for even the slightest mistake.

Traits: Erian loves to provoke you and knows exactly what words can throw you off balance. He loves to maintain a straight face even when he knows exactly what he's done. He has favorites among his students, and he sometimes lets them have a little more fun than others.
