Nicholas Von Coney.
A third grade student.
Prince Robert's most loyal follower and thug.
He was a peak rank 6 in his second grade and was significantly weaker than Telor. But after fawning over that bastard, he managed to advance and made some good progress.
He should've graduated decades ago. But he failed the graduation test every time.
If Telor was the oldest sudent, then Nicholas was the second oldest.
Maybe because Telor reminded him of his own failures or maybe to shift the spotlight, Nicholas held great hostility toward Telor.
If the duel between Robert and Telor was the breaking point of Telor to take his own life, then the constant bullying of Robert was the build up that led to that situation.
Nicholas was instrumental in this bullying and perhaps even the reason Robert targetted him so much.
Varian held no sympathies for Telor. He wasn't looking to 'avenge' any humiliation or grieveneces.
