On the surface, Griffin is an academic at Hill's aristocratic boys' school, devoted to research. In reality, he's the strongest fighter on the entire continent of Vancouver, the kind of being who can split the heavens with a single punch.

A pair of gold-rimmed glasses makes him look delicate and helpless.

But his experiments were too reckless, and in the end, he blew himself up and was reborn in Sumeru as a student at the Akademiya.

The atmosphere here makes his blood boil. Nobody could turn down a huge research budget. Nobody!!!

Everything is wonderful, except for one thing: that sage who keeps getting in the way of his research.

Later, a delicate-looking scholar at the Akademiya was said to have taken down a giant Ruin Grader with his bare hands in Sumeru.

He was dubbed an "Alhaitham-style scholar," meaning a scholar with overwhelming combat prowess who still calls himself "delicate."

Of course, so far only two people have earned this title: Alhaitham himself, and Griffin.

Griffin: "Since when did the sage become an adjective?"

Alhaitham: "I think it's a rather good adjective."

Bonus scene:

Another morning. Griffin stood there expressionlessly, holding his breakfast. "Is the sage's job really so easy that you have to stop me here first thing in the morning?"

"The sage's job is simple. That's why I took the position," the man leaning against the door replied coolly.

"Then please step aside. My work isn't simple."

"But I'm sorry to inform you that your project has been shut down."

Griffin: "? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I think we need to talk."

Alhaitham: "Your work leaves me living alone for long stretches of time. Is that reason satisfactory?"

Griffin: Do you believe I won't smash this plate of food in your face? It'll be stuck there so hard you won't get it off?

Reader's Guide:

① Just as the blurb says, the pairing is Griffin and Alhaitham. If you ship someone else with either of them and can't accept this, please leave now!!!

② Apologies for the out-of-character portrayals, apologies for the out-of-character portrayals, apologies for the out-of-character portrayals.

③ Griffin is a "delicate" scholar devoted to research with extraordinary combat prowess, paired with Alhaitham, who clocks out on time every day.

④ Many personal headcanons. I'm writing what I want, so if you don't like it, please leave as soon as possible. Let's all look after ourselves.

A seemingly sweet and naive, lecherous but actually calculating powerhouse bottom × Dr. Ratio

Camo Qige comes from the Alpha-79 star system deep in the universe. He's an elegant, beautiful interstellar hunter with an extreme obsession with cleanliness.

During another great battle against the Zerg, he was gravely injured and, for some inexplicable reason, his genes became unstable, turning him into a dog. That's right, a husky.

Qige: "..."

His AI fought back laughter and did its best to speak in the most formal, matter-of-fact tone. "Esteemed General, you currently lack the strength to return to your original form."

Qige: "...Woof..." Great, now I can't even speak like a person.

As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours.

Not only had he turned into a dog, he'd also ended up on a planet he'd never heard of: Penacony.

There, he met Professor Veritas Ratio, a learned man known throughout the universe as the Trailblazers' father figure. He was also known as "Dr. Ratio."

As Qige lay at this "father figure's" feet, he gazed at those long, powerful legs, then let his eyes wander upward...

Uh, ahem. I shouldn't look any further.

"Hah. Such a stubborn ailment should naturally be treated by me."

"I understand that fools can't grasp a genius's way of thinking, but surely you're not even inferior to the dog at my feet?"

Camo "Dog" Qige: "...Woof, woof woof..." I understand how frustrating it is when fools don't live up to your expectations, but surely you shouldn't compare them to a genius like me?

Dr. Ratio: "Quiet, please. No dogs allowed in Penacony."

Qige: .

One day, Ratio and his dog, or rather, Qige, now back in human form, were invited to give a speech at the Interastral Peace Corporation.

The moment they walked in, they heard a chorus of "Father!"

Host Jimi: "Mr. Qige, is there anything you'd like to say to our Trailblazers? Or perhaps anything you'd like to share with them?"

Qige: "...A word of advice to all Trailblazers: don't casually say, 'I'm xxx's dog.' Otherwise, you really might turn into a dog."

That night, Qige was pinned down by someone in the sleeping pod. Oh, he didn't come out all night.

Reader's Guide:

① Apologies for the out-of-character portrayals, apologies for the out-of-character portrayals, apologies for the out-of-character portrayals.

③ Camo Qige × Dr. Ratio

④ Written like a primary school student. Aside from the character concepts, anything could change.

Theme: Love life. Anything is possible.
