Teal

“I’m invincible.”

-Teal, Chapter 1

Teroro Toran, better known by his nickname Teal, is a supporting protagonist in The New Age. He is an Academy student - later Academy graduate - who is part of Styles’ team.

Personality
Teal's most defining personality trait is his cocky attitude. He is confident and boastful, as shown in his performance in the Exam tournaments. He enjoys to taunt his enemies as well, and is good at invoking anger in his enemies. During the Exams’ first round, he stood with his arms folded as Roxanne threw her magic at him, only moving to occasionally adjust his sunglasses. He loves to provoke his opponents into attacking him, and uses choice words such as “Hit me with your best shot!” in the hopes that their “best shot” is a magical attack.

Teal's confidence stems from his invulnerability; when someone figures him out, the facade disappears, revealing a cowardly and defensive fighter. Afterwards, Teal's fighting style drastically changes, becoming extremely defensive.

After Styles and Turnin’s deaths and Artanis' defection, however, Teal matures greatly. Gone is the confident demeanor, replaced with a strong feel of camaraderie. Because of his teammates’ deaths, Teal becomes greatly attached and protective of his friends, as shown when he jumps in front of Victor and Claire to absorb Artanis’ light rays.

Magic Immunity
Teal’s greatest ability is his complete immunity to magical attacks. Anything that is magic, or that has been enhanced with magic, is completely useless against him. Teal takes great pride in this ability, and loves watching his opponents discover that their attacks are useless.

Later in the story, Teal learns how to absorb magic like a magnet. This allows him to protect and defend his allies from powerful magical attacks.

Unique Fighting Style
Teal’s main hand-to-hand combat style consists of low sweeps and kicks. It is designed to knock the opponent down and interrupt his attacks.

He is also fast and agile, allowing him to easily dodge most physical attacks.
