Shax Lied, also known as Shax Lead, is a second year-student attending Babyls alongside Iruma Suzuki in the Abnormal Class.
Appearance[]
Lied wears the typical boy's uniform at Babyls, except he doesn't wear the bow tie leading to it being wide open. His coat is also shorter, being just above his waist. He wears a pair of yellow earrings, a yellow undershirt with a wavy black design on the bottom, and slightly off-white shoes. His ears are pointy, his eyes are purple-yellow and usually narrowed, and he has yellow hair with jagged black patterns. He also has what looks like a horn broken into 3 pieces, shaped like triangles. One pair is stuck to his hair, while the rest are levitating and facing away from each other.
Personality[]
Lied is a cheerful guy who is often seen playing games. He admits that he is addicted to gambling and games. He even chooses a battler that allows him to indulge in his hobbies. Osamu Nishi's initial character concept for Lied labeled him "a trickster who knows he's cute."[8]
History[]
At some point, he got carried away gambling and accidentally sent a student to the hospital. This incident resulted in his placement in the Abnormal Class.
Synopsis[]
Babyls Enrollment Arc[]
On the first day of classes, Lied and the rest of the class bet on Iruma's capability of evading the traps they set in the classroom. During the class' first activity (flying race), he casually flew along with his classmates while playing his game console as he did not seem very concerned about the race's outcome. His performance during the race merited him to the entrance rank of Aleph (1).
Royal One Acquisition Arc[]
When the Abnormal Class was trying to get the school to break the seal of the Royal One and allow them to use it as their classroom, Lied and Ix Elizabetta were assigned to obtain the stamp of Orias Oswell by defeating him in a game created by Valac Clara.
Lied stole both Orias' sense of sight and, unknowing to Orias until it was too late, sense of smell so that Elizabetta could use her Bloodline Magic "Full Love Gauge" to ensure that Orias was doing his best to gain her favor and lose on purpose without realizing it since he wasn't able to notice her scent. Upon defeating Orias, he approved, eventually allowing the Abnormal Class to move to the Royal One.[9]
Harvest Festival Arc[]
Alongside Iruma, he was assigned to Bars Robin for his training.[10] Although he initially felt nothing would improve because of Robin's unreliability, he decided to study under Robin. After meeting Bachiko and being ordered to perform seemingly random chores such as laundry and portering, Lied grew frustrated by this training and decided to return to Robin who right away began intense training to improve Lied's concentration. This exhausted him, as he was forced to match Robin's enthusiasm to clear all of Lied's games (which he brought when he was told to bring his favorite thing) in six days. Throughout several days, Robin defeated Lied in every game with seemingly no real effort until Lied finally got a win and began improving.[11]
During the Harvest Festival, Lied continued his partnership with Iruma but was doubtful that Iruma would help as he believed his friend was from a pampered upbringing as Sullivan's grandson and would not have the skills to survive the four-day harvest. To his total surprise, Iruma demonstrated his survival skills in base making and food planning which was a tremendous advantage to them starting out and keeping others away when it seemed like they were eating their points.
About midway through the first day, Iruma wandered off for a bit, leaving Lied alone when Elizabetta arrived. Lied was right away nervous and worried about being alone with her, as he feared she would use her seduction lessons to get whatever ingredients he had managed to keep. His fear is realized when this happens, and Elizabetta is able to gather two hidden stashes of ingredients Lied had hidden as backups.
He voiced how unfair it was that Elizabetta had used her bloodline magic to get his points but is shocked to hear her admit that she hadn't used it at all, stating she doesn't use it on boys she genuinely likes. This admission sends Lied into a spiral of thinking Elizabetta may really be in love with him.
On the second day, Lied tells Iruma they have yet to gather any ingredients and misses Iruma's shock that he failed to realize they ate all the ingredients they had gathered. Lied suspects that Iruma is fine with their points consumption because he plans to find the elusive Legend Leaf, which Iruma blindly agrees to because he is still in shock.
Realizing there is not much information about the Legend Leaf, the two decide to head to Kerori's kingdom to ask if the animals may know how to find the Legendary Leaf. After fulfilling Kerori's request for a concert, Lied and Iruma are given lyrics that describe how the Leaf can be obtained. The instructions are too lengthy for the two to try together, and they split the tasks.
Lied soon found himself in a cave, having to complete one hundred games, but was successful in gathering the Vase of Endings. His joy is short lived when the teachers unintentionally make him a target by announcing the vase is worth twenty thousand points on its own. Lied is forced to keep himself hidden from view when students flock to the area to get the vase.
Unfortunately, Orobas takes on the illusion of Elizabetta and breaks Lied's heart to steal the vase for himself. Thankfully, Iruma suspected foul play as he felt that Elizabetta would not stoop to hurting others like this. They are eventually able to find Elizabetta with Kerori and Kamui, where she confirms she did not take the Vase from Lied and restores his hope that she likes him.

Abilities[]
Lied's extreme and stressed concentration.
Concentrated Power: When Lied steals his own senses while being really stressed out (by having to read a book while playing a game with music bombarded on his ears). He amplifies his concentration skill, further deepening the acute senses that enable him to locate anything.[13] By sacrificing one of his senses, he can manipulate that specific sensory to target. For example, he steals his own, hearing for him to hear conversations from a location.[14]
One-Shot Focus: With an overbearing ability from his Controller Bloodline Magic, Lied is in an astute condition, being able to accurately uses his senses at their greatest level. It can activate this by being in pain, distress, and exhaustion due to low mana.[15]
Acute Senses: Not only is he a great sense stealer, but his five senses are also strengthened to be greatly focused and can be used to see, hear, smell, and/or touch traces of magic.[16]
Enhanced Tail Strength: Having used his tail for a sitting place, Lied has acquired enough strength to walk short distances. During the Akudol games, he beat everyone except Gyari almost immediately. He may have lost because of Gyari's advantage of having two tails.
Relationships[]
Andro M. Jazz[]
Lied and Jazz are good friends. They are usually seen spending time together since both share things in common. In Walter Park, they work together with Caim and Goemon to defeat a magic beast. Lied trusted Jazz since he was the first among them to reach the rank of Gimel (3). [17][18] They also like to joke about other teachers like Kalego and often laugh at him, but they also fear him.[19]
Iruma Suzuki[]
Since they were paired up during training for the Harvest Festival, Lied and Iruma have grown closer. They often play video games together[20][21] and view the other as their "little brother."[20] However, during Iruma's birthday, Lied reveals that his birthday is in September, thus confirming that Iruma is the "little brother."[22][23]
Ix Elizabetta[]
Lied has a crush on Elizabetta but has never successfully expressed this.[24]
Shax Shakky[]
Lied and his older sister Shakky have a contentious relationship. They often bicker together, but they're still shown to care for each other. When Lied gives hungover Shakky's water, she happily notes that he's enjoying his school life.[20]
Bars Robin[]
Lied and Robin have had a master-protégé relationship since Robin became his tutor before the Harvest Festival. As Barbatos Bachiko did to Iruma, Robin gave Lied an earring with a feather, feathers a sign of attachment to the Barbatos clan.
Thomas and Shimaji[]
Thomas and Shimaji were the two first-year students that Lied was in charge of protecting during the Heartbreaker and see him with great respect. Lied likes his two kouhais and the attention he gets from them, inviting them to a sabbath and joining his battler. Although, he's jealous that they have seemingly more success with girls than him.[25]
Trivia[]
- His first name is officially written in English as Lied from the mangaka's tweet. This can be seen on the last page of Volume 15.
- In demonology, the demon Shax is a Great Marquis of Hell and commands thirty legions of demons on evil horses. He's known to take away the sight, hearing, and understanding of any person under the conjurer's request. He also steals money out of kings' houses, only to return it 1200 years later if everything is still in order. Furthermore, he steals horses and everything the conjurer asks. Shax can also discover hidden things if they are not kept by evil spirits. Sometimes, they give good familiars, but sometimes those familiars deceive the conjurer.
- Crunchyroll translates his name to "Shax Lead."
- Lied mentions that he celebrated his sixth birthday in an abandoned house in his neighborhood.[26]
- He goes by the username "Star-san," or at least that's the display name he used in the games he played in the Gaming Battler.
