%%* RedEyesTakeWarning

* {{Jerkass}}: Once he gets angry, he's less subtle about this trope than Leos[[spoiler:, to the point where he openly threatens to hurt Sisti and blackmail her. He's also more than happy to target Sisti in order to remind Glenn of how Sara died and goes as far as to use Angel Dust addicts to recreate the previous incident.]]

* GildedCage: As noted above the school looks very beautiful, but its enclosed space causes a lack of freedom.
* OneGenderSchool: It's an all girls school.

* {{Ojou}}

* GildedCage: As noted above this school lacks the feeling of freedom, because of how enclosed its space is and

=[[/folder]]

* GildedCage

* AwesomeButImpractical: Extinction Ray is a devastating spell, and implied to belong to the highest tier of magic spells. However, it takes a while to cast, and with Glenn's poor magical reserves, can also leave him almost completely drained of mana.

* BareHandedBladeBlock: Does this against Ri=L in LN Volume 3 chapter 1/Episode 7, though it's PlayedForLaughs.

** [[spoiler:He also has another even more dangerous technique he himself created. By using a special bullet he made, he's able to kill a target by using his own magical characteristics, stagnation and stop. The technique is called Fool Perpetrator and it's powerful enough to break through any defense and even destroy [[DeaderThanDead the soul of the target]]. Unlike his other original magic "The Fool's World", this magic was explicitly created to kill. Which is one of the reasons he stopped using this along with the trauma after witnessing its usage. So he only uses it when it's absolutely necessary if even Extinction Ray fails.]]

* RightManInTheWrongPlace: He only became a teacher after Celica forced him to after the other teacher disappeared, but ended up foiling the plans of the Researchers of Divine Wisdom and managed to save every student present at the academy.

* ChickMagnet: The entirety of Glenn's class fawns over her when she is initially introduced. Though it could be taken as CutenessProximity.

[[folder:[[spoiler:'Glenn Radars']]]]

* YoungerMentorOlderDisciple: Downplayed since she and Glenn only have an age difference of 3 years, but she is the older disciple towards Glenn's younger mentor.

* ChivalrousPervert: A sense of duty and the desire to protect his students does not prevent him from planning a school trip in such a way as to look at schoolgirls in swimsuits. Other than ogling at her jokingly, Glenn is more or less Rumia's unofficial KnightInShiningArmor, as it's implied that this is one of the reasons he was forced to work at the academy.

** During the mock battle in Episode 11, he used himself as bait to lure class 4 into the forest, when he set a lot of traps in advance.

* TheDreaded: During his days in the mage corps The Fool is considered this, because he was able to kill many master level magicians without any problem.

* GenderBender: In Volume 8 he becomes "Ren Gladars" in order to infiltrate the Saint Lily Magic Girls' Academy.

* ReplacementGoldfish: A short story revealed that [[spoiler:he is this to the original 'Glenn Radars', a child who was an undead thrall of a Lich and used in an attempt to kill Celica. Celica found him in the Lich's lair after defeating it and decided to adopt him and give him the name. She considered herself pathetic for doing that, despite that she still loves him as her own child.]]

* SaveOurStudents: Not to the Alzano Imperial Magic Academy, but he or rather she did this to the Saint Lily Magic Girls' Academy despite only being sent there for an exchange program. Thanks to the transfer Ren was able to expose the psychological problems student their have, create peace between the two biggest factions and expose the headmaster Marianne as a part of the "Sourthern Cross".

** [[spoiler:In his fight against Eve in Light Novel Volume 9, he at first didn't fight back and took all her attacks, but the moment she insulted Glenn, he became very angry and tried to kill her. He even stated that he doesn't tolerate insults against Glenn.]]

[[/folder]]

* UndyingLoyalty: While it may not look like this. He is actually the student besides Sisti, Rumia and Re=L that has the most trust in Glenn. Best shown in LN Volume 9 when [[spoiler:When Glenn was going to activate something that could spell the death of everyone at the academy. When other students try to stop him like Wendy and Cash, he tells them no to do this since Glenn never did anything that would endanger them.]]

* IdiotHair: Sports a strand. Ironically, she's one of the smartest students in her class.

* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Leos threatens to expose Rumia and [=RieL=]'s secrets should Sisti decline to marry him.

** The 'Clingy' part is shown full force when Glenn temporarily becomes a woman to teach at an all girls school and becomes very popular with 'her' class. This causes her to fight with Sisti against their two leaders many times. This even escalated till a point they went to the bath to wash "her" back when they heard their classmates were going to do that despite knowing that "Ren" is well a man named Glenn.

* Expy: Overlapping with ShoutOut. The members of the Special Missions Annex all have TarotMotifs. Which wouldn't normally be enough as a reference to Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure. However it should be noted that the current members (including Glenn who is sometimes forced to help out) have the same TarotMotifs as the Main Characters of [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Part 3]] of Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure.

** Later in the Light Novel it was revealed hat the organization is split into two factions. The radical faction wants to kill Rumia, while the current affirmative faction wants to capture her.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Just like her brother she's already dead before the series began, but she's the one who Re=L was based on.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:He only appeared in a side story, but he was one of the causes that made Celica desire for company, which is what caused Celica has adopted Glenn. Also he's where Glenn gets his name from.]]

* CharacterDeath: She was apparently killed by a Lich she was sent to exterminate. [[spoiler:She actually is the Lich herself and orchestrated everything in order to try and kill Celica. This causes her actual death when Celica recomposed herself and used Extinction Ray against her.]]

* CrapsaccharineWorld: The school looks very beautiful at first thanks to its beautiful architecture, but inside the school the many students have psychological problems, because of how enclosed the space they are living in is. This was best shown with Sisti's and Ren's (Glenn) reaction to the school. With Sisti finding the school very, but Ren finds it suffocating, because of how enclosed its space is which caused Sisti to realize Ren is right.

* KilledOfForReal: [[spoiler:He already died when he was turned into a thrall, but Celica truly finishes him off alongside his master Henrietta after it was revealed that he was a thrall the whole thime.]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:He was one of the causes that made Celica desire for company, which is what caused Celica has adopted Glenn. Also he's where Glenn gets his name from.]]

* AttractiveBentGender: His female form, Ren Gladars, has been described as a hot teacher with a style comparable to Rumia.

* BlessedWithSuck: While not to the extend of Rumia's Supernatural status. His magic characteristics stagnation and stop doesn't allow him to shorten the chants of using magic. Making him weaker then other magician who are considered more talented, but he was able to use it to it's fullest by creating his original magic "The Fool's World". [[spoiler:He is also able to put his characteristics inside a specially made bullet which can even destroy the strongest devil.]]

* OneeSama: When Ren wins over 'her' class, they want her as their OneeSame. Too bad the class is still divided into two factions which in turn escalated to a LoverTugOfWar

** The 'Clingy' part is shown full force when Glenn temporarily becomes a woman to teach at an all girls school and becomes very popular with 'her' class. This causes her to fight with Rumia against their two leaders everyday or many. This even escalated till a point they went to the showers with to wash "her" back when they heard their classmates were going to do that despite knowing that "Ren" is well a man named Glenn.

** Confirmed in the Light Novel, whenever Glenn gets into a rather compromising situation with another woman, she gets embarrassed by the sight of it and covers her face with her hands, but peeks through the openings[[note]]examples include when Celica kisses Glenn to feed him a potion, when Eve fell on top of Glenn in a rather compromising position and when it looked like Celica and Glenn where naked and just finished love making.[[/note]]

* BenchedHero: Celica is the greatest mage on the continent, but she is usually sidelined because of certain circumstances. Lampshaded by Glenn in LN Volume2/episode 6 by stating that Celica could've handled herself and protected the queen from a bunch of imperial guards, so there must be something that was keeping her from acting. This is lampshaded again at the end of episode 9, where she complains about lacking screentime.

* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Celica killed him alongside his master Henrietta after it was revealed that he was a thrall the whole thime.]]

** He is very good at this, considering that [[spoiler:he himself was trained as a former black-ops government agent, his magic is slow and not very effective, and all he has is his quick mind and AntiMagic at his side. He also has a gun to negate magic and then simply shoot his enemies]].

* SaveOurStudents: Not to the AlzanoImperial Magic Academy, but he or rather she did this to the Saint Lily Magic Girls' Academy even if he was only sent there for an exchange program. Thanks to the transfer Ren was able to expose the psychological problems student their have, create peace between the two biggest factions and expose the headmaster Marianne as a part of the "Sourthern Cross". It was also implied this was the reason Eve turned him into a woman.

* InVinoVeritas: She's very clingy and flirty with Glenn when drunk on [[CantHoldHerLiquor brandy cake]].

* CursedWithAwesome: She possesses a special ability that [[spoiler: allows her to exponentially amplify a mage's power without the use of magic.]] However, because those with such powers are subject to persecution, she was exiled from her biological family and she still needs to be wary of those who wish to kidnap her for their own personal wants.

* InsecureLoveInterest: While she does like Glenn, she doesn't pursue him, because she knows that Sistine likes him too and she believes she isn't a person someone should love, because of her status as [[spoiler: a Supernatural and]] someone abandoned by her family.

* MoralityPet: For both Sistine and Glenn.

* BenchedHero: Celica is the greatest mage on the continent, but she is usually sidelined because of certain circumstances. Lampshaded by Glenn in episode 6 by stating that Celica could've handled herself and protected the queen from a bunch of imperial guards, so there must be something that was keeping her from acting. This is lampshaded again at the end of episode 9, where she complains about lacking screentime.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:She was born with no memories and innate immortality. This immortality caused most people to fear her (with her lover running away, calling her a monster). A few didn't, but they would inevitably age and die. Her incredible magical power only caused people to fear her more. She eventually became part of the Imperial Court Magic Corps. In one mission, she was sent to take out a Lich threatening a village. During this mission, she met and befriended a boy named Glenn Radars, who didn't show fear towards her. However, it turns out that every single village, including Glenn, was already a thrall of the Lich, who had sent Glenn to make her lower her guard. Despite this trap, Celica managed to win. It was at this point that her life turned around, as she found a living boy in the Lich's lair, who she would adopt and name "Glenn".]]

* DramaPreservingHandicap: From Volume 6 onwards, [[spoiler:her ability to use magic is massively reduced due to damage to her astral body.]]

* {{Tsundere}}: Type A towards Glenn just like Sisti. The other members of the imperial court magicians actually note that she doesn't show her nicer side towards Glenn and wonder why.

* OrderVersusChaos: This is what the two factions represent, but it's clear they both aren't doing well.

!Researchers of Divine Wisdom
[[folder:In General]]
* AxeCrazy: Many of them are.
* CrazyPrepared: With emphasize on the Crazy part. They have many spies all over the empire. It was even stated by one of them that he was only working there just in case a specific person was going to be there and could have just lived their the rest of his live if such a person never came.
* ForScience: They are willing to do anything for the development of magic.
* RightHandVersusLeftHand: The members of Divine Wisdom don't always agree on their methods despite their common goal, as shown when the first group tries to kidnap Rumia while Eleanor tries to have her killed.

A member of The Researchers of Divine Wisdom and the former maid of Queen Alicia VII, and also a necromancer.

* AxCrazy: She really enjoys fighting Albert a bit too much.
* CombatSadomasochist: No matter how many hits Albert lands on her, she treats it as an expression of love/lust. It helps that she has a HealingFactor.
* TheDragon: To the unseen Grandmaster of the Researchers of Divine Wisdom, being the most prevalent and constant enemy as well as his evident second-in-command.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: A pale, dark-haired necromancer.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Played with in the manga. She's filled with killing intent when Barks chokes Rumia and states that she hates it when women are abused. However, she has no problem with the experiments that her organization performs on Rumia and other women, so it's possible that she just disapproves of abusive KickTheDog actions that don't advance their ForScience cause.
* {{Meido}}: She was the queen's maid, and keeps the outfit even after.
* {{Necromancer}}: A powerful one that can raise nude, female zombies.
* NinjaMaid: A necromancer maid, although she's technically only dressed like it by the time she fights.
* PragmaticVillainy: She intimidates Barks into ceasing his pointless choking of Rumia, though this is probably because they still need her for their experiments. If so, this is unusual considering that she tried to get Rumia killed by the imperial guards in the previous arc.
* SmugSmiler: Often sports this expression even when backed into a corner.
* WalkingSpoiler: Not much can be mentioned about her without spoiling it.

[[folder:Nina Venus]]

* InternalReformist: What she intends to become when her biological father came to pick her up after his other heir died. She succeeds in the present and managed to turn the notorious "Venus Chamber" into a more legal company of commerce which funds orphanages.
* MistakenForRomance: She tells Glenn, she felt their meeting was like fate and that she doesn't care about age. This kind of wording causes the young Glenn to think it was a love confession, but it turns out she was only asking him if he could teach her some school subjects she couldn't get as an orphan.
* NeverLearnedToRead: A justified example, because being an orphan made her unable to go to school. This causes her to ask Glenn to help her learn how to read, write and do basic mathematics.
* SavingTheOrphanage: This is her life goal. She succeeds as an adult after she took over her father's business and turned it into a more legal company of commerce instead of a notorious corrupted one, but instead of just saving the orphanage she grew up in, she also helps several others.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She only appears in a Side Story, but she is the reason Glenn started creating "The Fool's World", because of her speech that every kind of power is okay so long she's able to protect what's dear to her.

** Later in the Light Novel it was revealed hat the organization is split into two factions. The radical faction wants to kill Rumia, while the current affirmative faction wants to capture her.

* AccidentalPervert: When he enters the girls' changing room in Episode 1, he actually lampshades how cliché this trope is and correctly predicts that he'll soon be [[PervertRevengeMode punched out for it]]. Then he declares that unlike others who would normally look away and apologize, he'll savor the image of changing girls.

** In episode 2, he points out to Rumia that her spell circle lacks mercury in order to work.

* BadassTeacher: Demonstrates his competence at teaching after he takes his job more seriously. He also demonstrates that he's a very capable combatant during episodes 2 and 3.

* ImprobableAge: It seems age doesn't matter when you have a good useful skill or ability considering the fact that Glenn was 15 years old when he joined, but he and the other members are working as assassins for the government. The members are also considered to be the Elites of the Elites and are strongest faction of the Imperial Court Mage Corps.
* ShoutOut: The members of the Imperial Court Magice Corps Special Missions Annex all have TarotMotifs. Which wouldn't normally be enough as a reference to Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure.

Unlike what any other girl would do, Rumia doesn't punish Glenn for thorougly examining her (part of which involves fiddling with her uniform) or when he wanders into the changing rooms while the female students were changing, and is at most flabbergasted with his antics.
