Roland
Things were going Roland's way. Hira's tutorial hadn't allowed any of the trial takers to kill each other, so, for the first time since his father's assassination, he'd been able to walk around without hiding his identity.
The rebels had never had much support, what with how they used the blood of slaves, commoners, and nobles alike to power spells even before the rise of mana, leading to the apocalypse style integration in the first place. And the generals faction, despite having pretty much the entire military and most of the nobility as members before the tutorial, had started to show weakness as personal power began to matter more, especially given several of the faction's main leaders hadn't had the requisite talent to enter the tutorial in the first place, completely unable to cultivate.
