#MC and elias’s relationship may not be perfect at times

Note
As much as I love Elias I can't wait to explore the angst of their relationship and potentially, or most likely, ruin the relationship between him and my MC.
I hadn't thought of this before and it's all because of that swimming scenario you wrote. After reading it I took my MC aside and started to try and get a read on how they feel about how Elias cheered them on.
The result? My MC is in the mindset that Elias treats them like a walking, talking trophy case, waiting to be opened when he wants to have their accomplishments sang to Mount Olympus and back.
Meanwhile after the race itself C's mother treated us as what we were: a kid. That soft gaze, the warmer, friendly smile? That's what my MC remembers most from that swimming content.
Which is why I hope MC can spend the holiday with C and their mother. They want to be treated like a person, and I think C's household is where they'll get that most genuinely.
it’s very interesting how a lot of people interpreted that swimming ask as tbh, and i can see how it might feel like elias sometimes uses MC as some time of trophy to be paraded around.
i want to assure you that that’s not the case and even if MC was the world’s biggest loser, elias would be proud of them for even the smallest of achievements. but maybe i’ll add an option for MC to misunderstand that type of attention and pride for something that they have to earn.
louise, while being a good mother, isn’t the most affectionate ngl. like yes, C is emotionally repressed mostly because of their dad, but louise isn’t the best at showing emotions either and that really made C stunted when it comes to processing their feelings.
however, y’all will still get a chance to spend at least one christmas at your ROs’ place in the game, and that includes the lacroix household!
#ahh i love when y’all analyse everything#MC and elias’s relationship may not be perfect at times#but i promise he doesn’t think they’re anything other than his precious apple#if: the ballad of the young gods#interactive fiction#interactive novel#interactive story#twine wip#ro: c lacroix

Okay if you like Klaus Goldstein I suggest just scrolling past this but if you want to listen to a rant of why I don’t like him and why I don’t think he should be as popular as he is, you can read under the cut. Keep in mind, I understand and see why he is so popular, that doesn’t mean I think he should be.
Also Klaus’ route spoilers ahead.
@eye-cri I made it.
Klaus Goldstein is a manipulative ass hole.
He is the first route I’ve played, I’m almost done with it, and I can see why people love him but that makes me scared for the other characters. If KLAUS is your favorite, then how bad is everybody else?
I’ve been told the reason he is so popular is because he is chivalrous and one of the few people who doesn’t try to just say no to being our buddy.
But bro, I wouldn’t want to be the MC’s buddy either. I’d be polite about it unlike these guys, but look at what a buddy is. When your grades improve, theirs don’t. But when your grades lower, so do their’s. Having a buddy isn’t a benefit, there is more to risk losing than there is to gain and theoretically if they do bad enough, then your entire academic grade will suffer for something out of your control. It’s like when a teacher marks something correct, as wrong but refuses to make it correct even when you prove you’re right. So really it’s not about not wanting MC to be their buddy, they don’t want anybody to be their buddy! And a new student, who no one knows how they got in, just randomly tramples up to the school all optimistic and wanting to learn only to criticize herself about her own magical abilities instead of saying “I know I’m not the best but that’s why I’m here, to learn.” A human who is from some random little town who knows where, is suddenly your buddy. Yeah you’re gonna probably freak out a bit if your grades are important to you! This is also someone who you don’t know well and have to get to know, that’s the whole point of character development.
For Klaus, he is the prefect, he is supposed to set an example, it makes more sense for his character to be like “alright I have a buddy, time to tutor the fuck out of her.” He was also offered something he really wanted in exchange for making sure the MC got into the academy. So yeah he accepted us as a buddy- but he was bribed to do so. He did not want to, he was prepared to let us leave the school until the head master said “if you help her get into the school I’ll make you a teacher after you graduate.” The others can’t be bribed so easily because the head master has nothing to bribe them with. So the argument of “but he was one of the few who welcomed us as a buddy” is false. He tutored and encouraged us, because he was bribed to do so and this later turns into affection. Klaus also genuinely wants to be a teacher, he likes to see people succeed and grow, not just us. He puts so much effort into our training because it’s what he wants to do after he graduates, not because we are special to him originally.
Admittedly, he is a good teacher. He sees a student’s weak points and designs a training schedule that will help them improve these weak points, and then some. However, he is known to be rude in his “encouragement” and instead of giving us positive feedback or saying “this is what you are doing wrong and here is how we are going to fix it” he is just saying “you’re bad and unfocused now do this exercise and practice when you should be sleeping.” With this requires a student who is determined to get better no matter what. And the MC is okay with that, she wants to learn magic, however… she is guilt tripped the entire time. She guilt trips herself, always apologizing always feeling bad with no confidence even when she does something right.
Heck, I’m one of the later chapters she is worried sick about him because he is basically in the school’s prison and then SHE has to apologize for making HIM worry while she was trying to clear HIS name when HE WASN’T EVEN IN TROUBLE IN THE FIRST PLACE! “You made me terribly worried never do that again” “I’m sorry” I THOUGHT YOU COULD HAVE BEEN EXPELLED, YES I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU COULDN’T TELL ME-
But then this guy goes on to say that we are lovers and- when the fuck did he ever ask out the MC? Because apparently it was when he said “will you stay with me forever” during a scene where we were also discussing the MC’s training. Dude. That entire “confession” could very easily be interpreted as him worried as a friend or trying to confess BUT NOT ASKING US TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND! He didn’t even have the guts to say he cared about us until we listened to a message he left for us where it cut out during that part. Then after that he refers to us as “his girl” like buddy you never asked if I was okay with this or if this is what I wanted. He is never clear with you on what he wants. And he says that as prefect he has to hold himself back, but we were in the privacy of his office during the “confession” scene and he could of just told us “MC I have feelings for you in a romantic sense and I want you to stay by my side through thick and thin, will you do that?” THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ASKING US OUT.
Not telling us you have feelings for us, makes it confusing.
Throughout the game Klaus repeatedly tells us to shut up or lets us apologize for things we shouldn’t apologize for, or makes us see a situation from his perspective- without him seeing it from our’s. I expressed in a previous post that something he said about us “not being much of a woman” then glancing to our chest upset me. Because it’s bullshit. He then says that it doesn’t even matter to him and if it doesn’t, why bring it up in the first place? To make us feel even worse about ourselves? I’m almost done with Klaus’ route and the MC’s confidence has not improved. I’m not talking about her confidence in her magic, I mean her confidence that she can be a great wizard one day, the confidence in herself that will allow her to grow. The MC is treated as if she is stupid by Klaus and that continues the entire time. He views her as a stupid bunny head in the beginning of the route then proceeds to see her as someone who could be amazing at magic and just needs to practice but he never says this. We find out when we find the training schedule he made for us near the beginning of the story. “Actions speak louder than words” yes louder but not clearer. His actions of supporting us from the beginning is loud but he never says what he feels. He never tells us he cares and expects us to know through inference. Emotions are complicated and messy, being left to assume and infer is dangerous and results in misunderstanding.
After we confront him about who exactly miss Elaine is, he blames MC for the entire misunderstanding- when he was the reason for the misunderstand of feelings. He tries to pin that one on us as well as if we could just go up to him and ask when he could of just told us “I have romantic feelings for you and would like to be romantically involved with you but it has to wait a while because this is my situation.”
Klaus tries to seem like he can do nothing wrong but he still needs to grow and mature more so he can see that just actions isn’t enough to express to people properly how you feel. Elias is his brother who has grown up with him, he understands how Klaus talks, nobody else does.
I don’t like Klaus because he is manipulative, practically verbally assaults us, says our body doesn’t matter when it obviously does then has the audacity to say that he has been holding himself back because he is prefect when normally he’d like much more than a kiss. All while assuming the MC is his girlfriend.
In one of the later scenes we see him saying “he isn’t my friend and never has been!” In reference to Randy. These two were arguing and talking as if they were close but Klaus insisted they were not when Randy tried to say otherwise. We see Randy leave the scene while the MC thinks “Randy… you’re trying to run away from his insults aren’t you?” Klaus tried to call out to stop him but Randy leaves and when MC asks if he is going to stop Randy, Klaus just says it’s fine and brushes it off.
He is portrayed as mr.perfect prefect, when he very much isn’t. No body is perfect, but the problem lies when he doesn’t admit he isn’t perfect. Klaus continues to pretend as if he is safe to do all of this just because it made the most logical sense, as if emotions weren’t hurt. He acts as if he is perfectly justified and a master of emotions as well. He doesn’t have any character development.
In Klaus’ route there is no character development for either of them.
The MC continues to be kind of shy and quiet and in her one moment of bravery she is made to feel guilty for it instead of being praised and the writing just allows her to understand.
Klaus developed feelings for the MC but continues to treat her like shit.
I don’t like Klaus and I don’t think he should as popular as he is, because he is the stereotype that is made out to middle school girls as “he is cold hearted and treats you like crap but he secretly loves you and just doesn’t want to say it.” That is not healthy and not okay. If you want to be someone’s partner you have to learn how to communicate your feelings to them and admittedly, we only have two weeks there before we may or may not leave, and that’s not a lot of time for character development to happen however, it doesn’t look like it ever will. Not until the MC stands up and says “this is not okay and here is why” to the point Klaus has no logical defense for his behavior. But how likely is this to happen when the MC just repeatedly understands his side of the story, without ever saying their own.
Klaus and MC are not good for each other and the relationship is toxic as fuck.
If I were in that universe, I’d like to be Klaus’ friend but I’d never want to date him because of all of this and then some.
Klaus has good intentions and dreams, but his actions speak loud and confusing and he refuses to explain himself, expecting everyone to just get it. And nobody is telling him that nobody is going to be like Elias but Elias. If they don’t get it then they must be stupid. Klaus doesn’t need other people’s approval which is great but that doesn’t mean he is justified in being an ass to everyone.
Klaus should not be a fan favorite. I’m terrified for how the other characters act if this is how Klaus is and HE is praised as being one of the nicest.
I don’t want a rebuddle or argument in the comments and if you try, I don’t care. I gave you a warning at the beginning to just scroll past if you like Klaus so you chose to read this. If he is your favorite and you’re offended, sorry not sorry. This is my opinion and interpretation of the prefect and I don’t like and think he is over rated. Make a post about why he is great but don’t tag me in because I will ignore it. We have different opinions and that’s okay, get over it.

It’s a Review!
Klaus Goldstein the former prefect of the Day class who’s now working for the Ministry of Wizardy. What is his mission making him return to Gedonelune Royal Magic Academy?
This is Klaus’s route for season 6 that became a bridge for Hiro’s route, the continuation of Zeus’s ending, and for Klaus’ alternate sequel.
In this route, Klaus’ Absolute Perfection, MC and Klaus aren’t in a relationship unlike his sequel route so it’s back to zero for them, it feels like another roundabout chasing of feelings. Many of you may have noticed that the two is already attracted with each other in a different aspect except for love/like until it bloomed on the latter chapters especially every time Klaus teases MC about her magic abilities.
Now, I know you guys maybe laugh a lot on these scenarios I’ll be mentioning or not but these two are the ones I find most unforgettable are the time MC and the other prefects celebrate at the Night Cafe and they just discovered that Alfonse is a light drinker and went on a rampage with his book summoning a big magical plant. Another one was the night they had a stakeout to guard the perfume were MC made baked pastries as their snack but Zeus likes her baked goods and wants to hog it all making Klaus scold him for it and this “gluttony” was shown in Hiro’s route.
Reeling back. Now on the Labyrinth, while leisurely venturing the place Lucious noticed an odd thing wandering around, and I suspect it as the fake Taffy appearing especially on Zeus route so what I suspect was right! (might be right) The fake Taffy was the one conspiring on freeing the Raging Wizardess and may be the one stealing the magical items for her release from the start.
While thinking about the stolen items and the suspect you all may feel the high tension between Klaus and Alfonse especially on the armor practice that they have that Klaus almost himself in anger and MC was worried about the two but neither one said anything.
I was curious to what was the issue between them remember Alfonse first appeared in Klaus sequel route and he avoids meeting Elias when MC suggested escorting him to see the headmaster’s office. To my curiosity, according to the Wizardess Heart wikia, Alfonse is the eldest brother of the Goldstein siblings who was supposed to marry Elaine.
Okay, last leg of the thief investigation, the group went to the cursed labyrinth with Lucious in tow to see the mysterious cave he mentioned and they saw the Raging Wizardess and they went to apprehend her but failed to do so and making it worst was when she retaliated Klaus took a major hit as he was cursed by making his soul trapped.
Overview of his route, very Klaus like that even though his harsh towards MC she knows he’s thinking it for her own good until the end. Klaus was the jealous type here and it feels like he has inferiority complex and I don’t know who is he inferior too. It was mentioned in his normal ending the newest battle that we will all see on Hiro’s story.
Mentioning here the sweetest scenario seen was the brother like attitude of Zeus to Lucious, even though he teases him being a coward, and also with the prefects on the Night Cafe.
Prediction time~! As you already know Hiro’s route was released today and I was predicting it to be Caesar but his route might be before or after Alfonse, which I wish to have his own story to disclose the familial issues that they have, and Caesar’s route may explain the Raging Wizardess situation. I wish to have headmaster Rembrandt his own story and so does the other professors. huhu.
Linking Klaus’s walkthrough here if you haven’t played his route yet!
Like what I wrote? Like and comment or share your thoughts on this or his route! Share if it’s a share worthy thing!
