Lucas Rapha Holfort

Lucas Rapha Holfort (ルーカス・ラファ・ホルファート) also known as teacher (師匠), is the current Headmaster of Holfort Academy and Leon's mentor in being a gentleman. He is the younger brother of the previous king of the Holfort Kingdom, which makes him Roland's uncle and great uncle to Julius, Jake, and Erica.

Appearance
He is a tall, elderly gentleman with white hair and a well-groomed mustache. He usually wears a black suit and a monocle over his right eye.

Personality
While nobles and royalties are often characterized by classism, Lucas is a rare archetype of a true, sophisticated gentleman. He lacks the typical haughty attitude of aristocrats and always maintains a polite, courteous manner, even when speaking to a commoner like Olivia. Furthermore, unlike many pompous and entitled nobles, Lucas does not abuse his power and privileges but primarily focuses on his duty and responsibility.

He strongly believes in the old-fashioned concept of Chivalry. Rather than a mere mindless puppet of the lords or appealing to women, Lucas insists that a knight should remain faithful to the chivalric code, which includes protecting the innocents. He refuses to compromise on his beliefs regardless of circumstances.

As a teacher, Lucas has proved to be a wise and reliable figure. Instead of talking down to his students, he will patiently listen to their problems, give them supportive words, and provide sound advice if necessary. Lucas is also willing to criticize his students for their misbehavior. The fact that he earned respect from skeptical and cynical Leon is a testament to his esteemed character.

Story Overview
Lucas was born into the Holfort Royal Family. During the Reign of Roland's predecessor, He was officially a court nobleman with the rank of Duke. Because of his character and abilities, Lucas was held in high regard by the nobles and considered to be a more appropriate choice for succeeding the throne than Roland. However, Lucas ultimately chose to step aside, allowing Roland to become the king. He also changed his name as well as gave up his rank and title, though he still kept his Knight title. Many people believed that Lucas grew tired of the power struggle and thus decided to run away. According to Lucas, he stepped aside because he acknowledged the need for reform and viewed Roland as the better choice to make that reform happen.

Volume 1
During the etiquette class, master calls out to Leon, who was spacing out during the class, to come down to help him demonstrate a proper tea ceremony. After the demonstration, Leon is blown away and moved by his teacher's gentlemanly behavior and accepts the teacher as his master.

During the day of battle between Leon and The Prince's Entourage, Leon's first opponent was Brad, who was easily blown away by a single swing of the shovel of Arroganz and after that Leon stomped on Brad's armor to prevent him from moving. Brad was forced to admit defeat or else he would have been crushed by Arroganz. When Leon was announced as the winner against Brad, master was among the few people who were clapping. After Leon won against the Prince's Entourage, master rebuked Leon's behavior during the fight.

Volume 2
During the school festival, Leon opened a school cafe with Angelica, Olivia, Raymond and Daniel. When Angelica had gone to meet up with the queen, an Earl's daughter along with her followers and servants comes to their cafe. Leon initially puts up with their rude and demeaning behavior until Angelica walks in with the queen. Instantly recognizing Mylene, Leon, using the fact that the earl's daughter insulted her as an excuse, uses the opportunity to take out several of the girl's follower and Angelica had to call master to stop Leon's rampage. Master reprimands Leon's behavior telling him that it must have been painful, but tells Leon to not give up as beyond that is the path of a true gentleman, leading to the path of tea. Master then asks Leon's permission to use his tools to prepare tea for everyone. When Mylene said she wanted to make some memories about the academy as she had never attended an academy and asked Leon's help for it. Hearing this Leon suddenly proposes to Mylene which shocks master and both Olivia and Angelica as well. Julius enters the room hearing this and punches Leon away. He then takes Mylene to his cafe which was just next doors to Leon's. Master then left to resume his work leaving Leon with Angelica and Olivia.

During the rematch between Leon and the Prince's Entourage, Leon had to break the armor or else Greg or he could have lost his life. Master was the only one who didn't criticize him telling Leon that he must have a reason doing it.

Volume 3
After Leon was finally released, he was brought to another room after discussing with the king, Mylene, Vince and Bernard the current situation of the kingdom. He was waiting until arrangements were made to return Partner and Arroganz. Master then entered the room bringing tea for Leon to drink and asked if Leon was worried as he had to leave the room because he had angered the king somehow. Leon then asked master if he wasn't going to flee the kingdom to which he replied that he was still a knight with a court rank, so he was going to do what he can even if it was limited. Master said that he won't scold or disapprove if Leon runs away and said that it was his chivalric code to protect those who are important to him. He then asks what Leon's chivalric code to which he answers is that his code is to protect the citizens. Leon then thanks Master and heads out telling that to overcome this situation he had to become the supreme commander of the army and was going to persuade the king to let him have that position. Hearing this he told Leon to go to Mylene as she would be able to help Leon with his request.

Master was present preparing tea for Mylene and Hertrude, the former asking the latter if she could stop this war. Hertrude replied that it was impossible so Mylene placed a very old document and a book telling that it was the principality who bared their fangs against the kingdom, not the other way around. Master then looked out of the window and hearing the siren understood that the enemy had come to the capital. Master then told that Leon was already moving to intercept the enemy.

Following the war with the principality and the restructuring of the kingdom, he was promoted to headmaster of the academy. Master came to see Leon off when he was going to Alzer Republic as a transfer student there.
