Wirbel

A former second-class mage and the leader of the eighth party during the examination. He's the captain of the Northern Magic Corps and is thus a very experienced mage. He later passes the First Class Mage Examination after Serie finds him suitable.

Personality
Being the captain of the Northern Magic Corps, Wirbel is used to war and, like Serie, views magic only as a tool for killing. He can be quite blunt and rude because of this, and coupled with his intimidating appearance, people who do not know him well consider him quite unlikeable, with Fern even going so far as to call him someone who looks like they would "kick dogs". Despite this, he does not enjoy killing and immediately stands down if he judges killing to be unnecessary, such as when Fern lied to him about killing Ehre during the first stage of the First Class Mage Exam, meaning he'd lost and any further killing would be pointless. He later admitted to Frieren however that the world might be better off if he had killed Übel. Wirbel can also be quite kind, helping an elderly woman with magic when she knocks over a basket of apples and carrying Ehre and Scharf during the first and second stages of the exam when they exhaust their mana and are left unable to move.

Appearance
Wirbel is a fair, young man, with white hair, often seen with clothing matching his color scheme.

History
Wirbel first appeared at the start of the First Class Mage Exam where one of the First Class mages identified him as one of the more notable candidates to be taking the exam.

Abilities

 * Sorganeil: Wirbel's main spell is the binding magic Sorganeil. When used, the spell completely prevents someone from moving or accessing their mana to cast spells. However, the requirement for activating and maintaining it is that Wirbel must have the target's entire body in his vision. This means it can only be used on a single target at a time and it will not activate if even a single part of the target's body is out of his vision, for example, Sense's hair.

Trivia

 * Wirbel is German for "whirl", "vortex", "fuss" or "vertebra".
