Desir Arman

is the central protagonist of A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special. After his return to the past upon the failure of clearing the Shadow World, he resolves to strengthen his allies so that the future doesn’t get repeated.

Appearance
Desir Arman is a normal-looking teenager. He is a tall guy with fair complexion. He has thick black hair which is described as unbrushed. His face is long and strongly tapers towards his chin. Likes dressing casually.

Personality
Having returned from the Shadow Labyrinth, Desir takes a very serious approach towards preparing those he deems important for its inevitable appearance. Consequently, he comes across as an unforgiving teacher to his companions in part due to their unawareness of his past.

Background
After graduating from the Hebrion Academy, Desir spent 10 years in the Shadow Labyrinth where many of his friends and even lovers were sacrificed in order to defeat the last boss of the labyrinth, Brohmier Napolitan.

After slaying Napolitan, only 6 people survived out of 150 million people. When Napolitan was defeated, the survivors thought that was the end and where happy to be able to go home.

Unfortunately, it was not to be; a dragon’s heart absorbs mana and pumps it throughout a dragon’s body, in the event of a dragon's death, the mana stored in its heart has no release, which builds up until it explodes. This explosion is what killed the six survivors, along with the rest of the world.

As soon as the explosion hit Desir, he was sent back to his younger self, at the point he was taking the exams for the Hebrion Academy, where he is determined to change the future for the better.

Skills and Abilities
In his past life, Desir only has enough mana to qualify as a mage of the First Circle. However, after being soul-bound to the Crest of Toa he got from a Shadow World, he has enough mana to become a mage of the Third Circle.

While only a mage of the Third Circle, he managed to become one of the six people who survived the Shadow Labyrinth. He also highly respected by the other five members and gaining praise from Zod Exarion, who was the one and only Seventh Circle magician and known as the strongest magician..

Entrance Examination
Desir was recommended into taking the Hebrion Academy’s 172nd Entrance Examination by Professor Brigette.

He was put into Group D, facing off against Ajest Kingscrown, Romantica Eru and Treveurie Tigus.

Professor Brigette proposed that Desir to be put into the Alpha Class due to his exceptional performance. This proposition was met with resistance from Professor Pugman. After a voting session, 18 voted for him while 22 against. Therefore, he was assigned into the Beta Class.

Attack on Deltaheim
Desir and his Starling Party were highly instrumental turning the tide against the Outsiders during the Attack on Deltaheim.

Recapture of the Teleportation Gate
Desir also led the Starling Party to recapture the teleportation gate that had already fallen into the hands of the Outsiders. This action effectively cutting off the Outsider’s reinforcement while allowing the Western Kingdoms’ own reinforcement to arrive.

Fight Against the Demon of Doom
"Earth Nourishing the Sun"

- Chapter 82 In order to defeat the Demon of Doom Dadaneuph, Desir requested assistance from Zod and Priscilla.h By using Zod’s mana, Desir invoked a dragon magic, [Proverb].

Upon invoking the magic, Desir’s body tensed up. Excessive mana overwhelmed him and his mana circle was overloaded and destroyed continually while the cells in his body were burnt to ash. Just when it seemed like he would fall apart, he would be healed back to normal, allowing this cycle of never-ending pain to be continued ad nauseam.

Desir’s body repeatedly went through cycles of destruction and recovery, each cycle taking mere seconds. But he continued to arrange the magic even as he struggled with the pain. Without Priscilla’s continuous healings, he would have instantly collapsed and his life would have been extinguished. She put all the power she had into restoring Desir.

Despite physically there was nothing wrong on his left eye, Desir lost his sight of that eye as the payment for the forbidden magic he used.

Desir was known as ‘War Hero’ after this battle.

Dungeon Attack
Starling Party co-operated with the beleaguered Blue Moon Party and Red Dragon Party to escape from the compromised dungeon with Desir taking the overall command of the combined force.
