Ashton Vargas

A teacher at Night Raven College who instructs Physical Education.

He frequently lectures students based on his own peculiar theories about muscles—such as the mantra "Magic comes from muscle!" While his logic may seem nonsensical at first glance, he claims that physical training boosts concentration, thereby enabling the use of complex magic; he has essentially boiled this down to the personal conviction that "magic equals muscle." He is also a narcissist who often makes remarks praising and admiring himself. He claims his muscular physique comes from drinking raw eggs every day.

He has an overbearing, intense personality that makes him unpopular with many students—particularly those who dislike such intensity (like Ace) or are physically uncoordinated (like Azul). However, he seems completely oblivious to this fact.

That said, he isn't universally disliked; students with an athletic mindset, such as Deuce and Jack, actually agree with his philosophy. Some even look up to him. Although he can be annoying, he is recognized as a responsible teacher rather than an irresponsible one. Even the Headmaster hesitates to criticize him too harshly, often prefacing comments with, "He's not a bad guy, but..."

Despite being a teacher at a magic academy, he dislikes using magic or relying on clever tricks to cut corners; he prioritizes hard work, physical stamina, and muscle strength above all else. He also shows little interest in reading, believing that books serve no purpose other than acting as makeshift dumbbells.
