A Not-So Intricate Analysis: Lumia the middleman

In chapter 2 of the light novel, Akashic Records of the Bastard Magical Instructor, Lumia Tinzel briefly recalls a moment in her past, where she describes herself as having been subjected to the threat of ‘evil magicians’. Through analysis of Lumia’s use of specific diction, Lumia’s beliefs towards magic is revealed.

Whilst Glen and Sistina’s perspectives towards magic are shown directly in a debate during chapter 2, Lumia’s beliefs are revealed through juxtaposition with Glen and Sistina’s perspective of magicians. Glen depicts all magicians as ‘bad’, and never uses a positive nor negative adjective to describe the. The same applies to Sistina, whom sees all magicians as ‘good’. In contrast Lumia specifically uses the word ‘evil’ to describe magicians that had harmed her, and through it, shows that she believes that there is a the dualism to their existence – having both ‘good and bad’ sides.

Overall Lumia’s beliefs are symbolic of how her personality and behavior acts as an intermediary between those of Glen and Sistina’s throughout the story.
