Mikari is a Dark Mage. He possessed powerful magic capabilities, though not as strong as Midora. Because of he is also a master in the art of Dark Magic, his abilities and spells alike is also based mainly on the darker sides of magic, in which the complexity is much larger than any other kinds. Like any other Dark Mages, he is also susceptible to negative emotions. He has to learn how to control his emotions and must not let himself become enraged in any situations, which is why Mikari and Midora are usually quite calm when it comes to dealing with things around the Academy. Because Mikari has always been fond of researching and finding ever since he was small, he has a wide knowledge about arts of magic, runes, symbols, ancient languages and potion recipes. However, as Dark Mages' main element was Dark, their biggest weakness is that they're extremely vulnerable when it comes to deal with White Magic and holy-based spells. Mikari wasn't an exception. If he didn't manage to dodge a strong attack from a White Mage then he can be seriously injured or even killed.
Having the affinity of Dark Magic, Mikari is capable of casting basic spells, high-classified spells and unique Dark Magic's spells, along with total control over Dark Matter. Throughout years of practicing and perfecting his gifts, he has mastered 3 unique abilities of his own.
Obedient Gaze: Like all mages, Mikari has ability to take control of a demon and command them to do as he wishes. Unlike the mages who still can't properly control their power, his ability is almost flawless. To activate, Mikari slightly touches the tattoo on his face. After the touch, the tattoo will light up a red, dim light as the irises in the right eyes will also change into a different shape. As long as his power is activated, he can control any demons at will with just a single glance. However, it is needed that the demons look directly into otuoMikari's right eye for at least 30 seconds. And should a demon possesses strong mentality and unshaken will then Mikari's Gaze will be useless against them, though it wasn't often that some demons can easily get free from his grips. Though not often, Mikari will use this ability to assist Midora when the demon students went loose. He can control only 4 demons at a time.
"Following what I say and you won't have to suffer, got it?."
Animation: Using Dark Matter, Mikari can forms shadow-looking creatures. The creatures can move freely across any surfaces, whether it is solid or not. However, these creatures are only capable of seeing and they're supposely "deaf", which is why Mikari can only see what they see but can't hear what the targets that he was follow are talking about. During battles, he can also use them to keep his opponent busy a bit so that he can observe to find out their weaknesses. Though the creatures can't be eliminating by normal weapons, they'll be banish if they were hit by light or something bright enough. Mikari can form as many creatures as he please, but it'll use more energy of him to do so.
"Be careful of these babies."
Abyss Breaker: Mikari's strongest ability, though he rarely ever use this because of its complexity and power-consuming. In order to activate, Mikari needs to enter a trance as he chanted an ancient incantation as dark aura surrounded him. During the chanting, magic circles covered in runes will appeared above Mikari's targets. After he has finished chanting, he draws out some symbols on the air around him and merge them together. After that, the circles will release a devastating beam that destroy everything underneath them. This ability can deals damage depend on the size of the circles. At his full strenght, the circles can covered an area of more than 500 meters. And Mikari himself will not be affected if he stood under the circles. Because this spell requires knowledges about runes, Mikari needs to take a few minutes in order to draw them properly. If he draws just a wrong line, then the whole spell will be stopped. This ability will use up Mikari's power so much that he'll need to rest for at least a week to regain his strength.
"Like I said, some spells are not to be messed with, or you'll face consequences that you don't want to face."
"Dark and Light, they always fighting against each other, yet, they tempted each other and one couldn't exist without the other."

[color=#1721e8]History
As a strong mage, people would have thought that his life would be quite rough. Though that wasn't completely true. Mikari was born in a peaceful town and he has lived through his childhood like any other child would. Both of his parents were White Mages, but the line didn't pass on Mikari. Ever since he was 4, he has always been fond of researching and reading. He found out that he was a Dark Mage when he was about 6 years old. Back then, Mikari was making his way to the library like usual then a rogue demon came out from nowhere and trying to attack him. Because he was so surprised, and he hasn't discovered his potentials yet, he couldn't counter back. But just as when the demon hit Mikari, he unconsciously formed a whip from Dark Matter for the first time by his hand and beaten the demon quite effortlessly.
Mikari then remembered from a book he has read before that the only type of magic-user that was able to control Dark Matter was Dark Mages. With that said, he came to the realization that he was different from his parents. Because back then, Dark Mages were considered like outcasts to the rest of the Mages' community because of their unusual power, Mikari feared that people would rejected him, he has kept his power hidden from everyone, including his parents. However, he kept researching more and more about Dark Mages and the curiosity about what he can do grew. Mikari often sneaked out at night and practiced Dark Magic. At first, it was hard for him because of the art's complexity, but he kept on trying hard every day until he can master them.
The more Mikari grew, the more his power grows with him. Although he has a lot of friends, he still felt like an outcast because he was different with them and he can't show his true potentials to anyone. At the age of 17, Mikari moved to another city to study at a prestigious Academy. Life was hard as Mikari could barely find any friends. Any efforts to be closed with anyone from him were cruelly rejected. Isolation as he was, he knows he can only continued improving and learning and soon becoming one of the top students at the Academy. One day, when he was returning to his apartment, he found a young man who was around his age and saved him, knowing that the man is also a Dark Mage like him, yet a lot more powerful than him. His name was Midora Kurayami. At first, Midora was cold and seemed to be wary of him, but Mikari allowed him to live with him. Eventually, they became best of friends, never do anything without each other.
After their graduation, both Midora and Mikari returned to Mikari's hometown to start a new life. Their lives would stay normal like that, until one day, a bloodthirsty and insanely strong demon working under the influence of the most powerful Mage ever in existence came and destroyed their town, killing every single living being in her sight. And Mikari's family couldn't escape their fates in the massacre. Enraged, Mikari tried to beat the demon but he was overpowered and almost got killed, until Midora jumped in. After a gruesome fight, Midora was able to overcame her. But Mikari was gravely injured so Midora has to carried him for days, until they were found by the Legendary Mage who was their Headmaster before and were sent to another town where an Academy called Survival Kit Academy situated.
While Midora were offered a position as a teacher in the Survival Kit Academy, Mikari worked at several places to earn money. When he has saved enough profit, he opened a grocery shop and lives a normal life, still keeping a good company with his best friend Midora for almost 6 years. When an incident happened, he was asked to be a teacher there. Though he has never done something like this before, he accepted the offer and a whole new journey is waiting ahead of him.
"Though we need to look up to the future, we must never forget that it is the past that makes us who we are now."
Others
Mikari is often carries a bag full of powders with different usages with him on his belt, though he kept it hidden from sight in his robe near his waist. Though it seemed that the powders were mixed with each other, he can always pull out the exact ones that he needed with the sensible amounts.
"No one except Dora-chin is aware of this. So be careful, I can always blind you if I need to."
