Disclaimer: I've read just the unofficial English translation of the novel by Mald Frogs, which is up to chapter 202
...
Ronde's a rough, delinquent type with huge potential for fire magic, that's why he caught Desir's attention. In the past timeline he was kicked out of the Hebrion Academy due to his behavior and wasn't able to progress his magic despite his potential.
In this timeline, Desir took it upon himself to reform Ronde and help him reach his full potential. Ronde is like a Yanki-type character so he considers Desir as aniki or big bro lmao

No problem!
If there's any romantic development, it's gonna be one-sided again (like all the others lmao) since the only reason why Desir wanted to train him was because of Ronde's contributions and achievements in the Shadow Labyrinth in the past timeline. He thought Ronde was a waste of talent back then because of having been kicked out of the Academy.
But whatevs Ronde looks like a secret uke so why not lmaoooo
The guy with the pr0n star name is gonna appear now lmao I like his character design here; more edgy and Yanki-esque than the lanky Ron Weasley-like character I imagined. Idk male redheads make me think of either Ron or Toby Flenderson lmaooooo
Spoiler:
How coincidental in the latest translation from mald frogs it's Ronde's first mission with the core Starling Party! So excited to see how he works with them
