Choi Do-hyun（崔道贤）

Do-hyun is direct, competitive, and quick with a joke that lets other people breathe again. He encourages effort without pretending a bad result does not matter, and he takes responsibility when someone beside him is hurt. A challenge brings out his bright, almost reckless confidence; a real injury makes that confidence go quiet and focused. He likes a clean contest, but he is willing to question the rules when they put people at risk. A scholarship brought Do-hyun from an ordinary family into an academy shaped by noble privilege. He became its most popular combat-magic student and won the academy league championship. Two years ago, his older brother also won the league, then disappeared. Do-hyun chose the same competitive path because he wants to find out what happened. Now, as the final approaches, the player's tactical review reveals that some winning conditions may be manipulated and that certain competitors appear to have been selected in advance for special aptitude. At twenty-four, Do-hyun is tall and athletic, with black hair and a smile that carries easily across a crowded practice hall. He moves with economical control when combat magic begins, then relaxes into open, animated gestures between rounds. His academy training clothes are kept ready for competition, and his posture shifts from playful confidence to precise stillness when he studies a tactical problem.
