Yuri Ulysses Le Ruschia

Yuri Ulysses Le Ruschia, commonly known as Ulysses is the second prince of the Kingdom of Ruschia and the instructor for Spirit Magic Studies at Lune Ruschia Magic School. He also serves an overseer for the Guardians to guide them.

Appearance
Ulysses has white hair and yellow-green eyes. He is noted to be handsome with a boyish face. He usually wears white robes and uses a long staff to cast magic.

Personality
Ulysses is a gentle and polite man who is well-liked by his students for being a patient and thorough teacher and his love for spirits. He is the one who serves as a mediator at school and between the Guardians. He is a humble man and doesn't like to be called by his royal title. However, he also has a stern side, particularly towards his younger brothers Gilbert and Frey, who frequently fight with each other. Makia notes that he also has a mystical and mysterious air about him.

History
At the age of five, Ulysses was able to summon three Great Spirits, causing him to be regarded as a prodigy. He attended Lune Ruschia Magic School and was a classmate of Urbanus Medite.

Plot
Ulysses arrives at the first Spirit Magic Studies class for the new first year class along with his familiar Phantrome. He introduces himself and his familiar and then demonstrates the functions of the first and second incantations by using magic to create water in a goblet. He tells the class that in Spirit Magic Studies, they would be learning about the spirits that are involved with the second incantation, which directs the content of the magic, and how to summon them to use them to borrow their power for spells. He then shows the class the large summoning circle they would be summoning their familiars from. He instructs them on how to summon a familiar from the circle and has them go one by one.

The students summon all kinds of spirits, and Ulysses praises Beatrice Asta in particular for summoning a high-level spirit, although he is noticeably uncomfortable when she addresses him with "Your Highness." He is also mildly astounded that the head of the first-year class, Nero Pachelbel and his roommate, Frey Levi had skipped the class. He then calls on Makia O'Drielle as the last person to summon a familiar. She summons two spirits, which Ulysses identifies as dwarf hamsters and points out their short tails and large cheek pouches. He asks Makia if she wants to cancel the contract with the two spirits, as many people who summon mice or hamsters as familiars often don't make contracts with them. After Makia says she wants them, he tells her to take good care of them and that it is rare to summon two spirits at the same time. He then ends the class there.

Abilities
Ulysses is known as the strongest spirit magician in the Kingdom of Ruschia and is rumored to have more than ten Great Spirits at his command.
