Don't think you've won. Maple World is already in his hands.

― Hilla

Hilla, also known as the Red Witch, is one of the Commanders of the Black Mage.

Story[]

The Red Witch of Azwan[]

Hilla was the chief Shamaness of Azwan, an ancient city lost in the desert. Her talent and beauty far outshone the other Shamanesses, and she was revered by the people of Azwan for her beauty, particularly her flame-red hair and piercing eyes. Knowing full well how beautiful and powerful she was, Hilla took great pride in the adoration and praises that she received.

However, as the years passed, Hilla began noticing that her beauty was starting to fade. While the adoration for her remain unchanged, she slowly began noticing subtle changes day by day until she could stand it no longer. As soon as the first crack appeared in her heart, the Black Mage appeared to her and offered her eternal life, power, and beauty in exchange for her full loyalty.

To prove her loyalty to him, Hilla tricked King Iason into giving her the prized shaman beads, despite the counsel of Medina, who had noticed something strange with Hilla. As a result of this mistake, Iason inadvertently allowed Hilla to trigger the fall of Azwan, which she handed over to the Black Mage, as it was now meaningless to her.

Though the people reviled her as the Red Witch, Hilla no longer cared, as she had all that she desired. Knowing that her power stemmed from the Black Mage, Hilla knew all too well what would happen to her if she were to betray him. Because of this, Hilla never once dared to even think about crossing him, becoming one of his most loyal Commanders in return. After the fall of Azwan, Hilla used her power of necromancy to revive the deceased citizens for her personal undead army, lining her kingdom with magical totems to continuously reanimate her fallen soldiers.

Recruiting the Lion King[]

After Von Leon's kingdom was destroyed, he approached the Black Mage and pledged his loyalty in exchange for gaining the power to exact his revenge on the ones who had taken everything from him. Following the destruction of the Anti-Black Mage Alliance[5], Hilla met with Von Leon in his castle, where she asked him how his revenge had been, to which Von Leon replied that it had been too easy and wondered whether the Black Mage was really that strong. Hilla replied that the Black Mage was more powerful than he could imagine.

Hilla then told Von Leon that with his revenge mission completed, all Commanders were to commence with a coordinated attack on Ereve, which would easily fall before a surprise attack of such a magnitude. Just then, Von Leon called out to Ryude, who had been listening in on their conversation in secret, to show himself. As Ryude attempted to retreat, Hilla blocked his escape.

With no choice, Ryude engaged Von Leon in a duel. After Von Leon defeated Ryude, he attempted to finish him off when Alicia suddenly appeared. Hilla was shocked to see Alicia, whom she believed didn't interfere with mortal affairs. Alicia told her that unlike most times, she had need of Ryude and teleported them both away.

Soon after, Ryude and his comrades attempted to light the beacon at the Dragon Master's Tower in order to signal the end of the world. In order to stop him, Von Leon and Hilla took their armies to the tower. By then, the snowfall had turned into a storm, which Hilla believed was the wrath of the gods, to which Von Leon told her that the gods hadn't realized that snow wouldn't stop them.

Hilla asked why they hadn't taken the gate, to which Von Leon replied that the mercenaries were adept at fighting in the snow and had managed to use the ice against them. He then ordered his forces to wear them down as Hilla decided to leave, unwilling to weather the cold. As the battle raged on, Hilla used her powers to revive the fallen soldiers in order to learn the weak point in Ryude's defense. After several soldiers refused to reveal anything, she finally encountered one soldier who told her that Ryude planned to destroy the bridge.

Unexpectedly, however, Ryude changed his plan and had his soldiers create an avalanche in order to stop Von Leon's army. Hilla was impressed by Ryude's bravery, wondering if he was even human, but was surprised at the abrupt change of plans, as she had learned from the dead soldiers that they were planning to blow up the bridge. Ryude and his soldiers' sacrifice ultimately allowed for the beacon to be lit, resulting in the six Heroes coming together and eventually sealing the Black Mage.

Hilla's Return[]

After the Black Mage's sealing, Hilla and the other Commanders disappeared for centuries until their master's return, which prompted the formation of the Maple Alliance in order to stop him. Following this event, Hilla made her move to destabilize the fledgling Alliance. Posing as a noblewoman, she publicly made a claim that she was the true heir to Ereve. With Shinsoo away for unknown reasons, an emergency Alliance conference was held in Ereve, where Hilla would testify for her right to the throne.

Meanwhile, Phantom - who had been largely underground since waking up from the ice - decided to publicly reveal himself for the first time in order to defend Aria's heir. Disguising himself in a robe, Phantom infiltrated past the tight security and observed from the balcony as Hilla appeared before the royal court. After Hilla's arrival, Neinheart began questioning her about her claims, including her supposed possession of Skaia, the treasure of Ereve.

Hilla began explaining the legend of Skaia, which was said to hold many powers, with one being that it glowed only in the hands of one descended from the Empress' bloodline. Irena countered that there were no historical records of Skaia's powers, but Hilla replied that the people of Ereve were the only ones in Maple World who had seen pictures of the gem, and so she claimed that their own knowledge of Skaia's appearance would allow them to see that her gem was real. Hawkeye responded by saying that jewels could easily be forged, but Hilla countered by telling him that as he hadn't been alive centuries ago, his opinion on the validity of the gem was of no importance.

Hilla then argued that the reason why Cygnus was so frail was because she was being overpowered by Shinsoo's strength, as only a true Empress could handle Shinsoo's power, insinuating that Cygnus had been stealing Shinsoo's power for herself. Cygnus agreed that she was too weak to handle Shinsoo's power and admitted that she had been frail ever since childhood.

Shaken by Hilla's argument, she began to doubt herself and told Neinheart that that she couldn't ask the people of Maple World to fight on her behalf if she truly didn't have any real authority or qualifications. Hilla then proposed a test to determine the true Empress and demonstrated that Skaia glowed in her hands. She then challenged Cygnus to see if it would glow in hers as well.

When Skaia failed to glow in Cygnus' hands, the Chief Knights reassured her that the legitimacy of the jewel itself was dubious, and that Shinsoo would reveal the truth when she returned. Neinheart added that the Alliance was the foundation for a new era in Maple World, and that Hilla could be scheming to place doubt on her position.

Hilla lauded Cygnus for her wisdom, despite her young age, but urged her to make the right decision and cede the throne. Just then, Phantom appeared from the balcony and halted the proceedings. He then began to systematically counter Hilla's arguments one by one. First, he reminded the audience that Empress Aria had no children, with only a niece left to carry on her bloodline.

Secondly, he countered Hilla's claim about Cygnus' frailty and explained that it was because only an adult Empress could fully accept Shinsoo's power, which was why Cygnus remained so weak. Finally, he dismissed Hilla's gem as a fake, revealing that the true Skaia was in his possession before jumping from the balcony before the astonished crowd.

Hilla was utterly shocked at Phantom's unexpected appearance, whereas Mercedes and Athena Pierce were overjoyed to see their old comrade return. Phantom threw a card to shatter the fake Skaia before unleashing a series of powerful skills to deter Hilla. Realizing that she had been beaten, Hilla shed her disguise and decided to back off, but not before warning them that Maple World was already in the Black Mage's hands.

The Elite Bosses[]

After the Black Mage created the Elite Bosses, Hilla and Will had a conversation about their purpose. Hilla accepted that over the course of hundreds of thousands of battles and pledges, a soul could be refined into one of incredible power. However, by mixing in the power of a Transcendent, the Black Mage had created monsters and asked what use he could possibly have for such unthinking puppets.

Will told her that given the Black Mage's ability to see the future, he had likely created such powerful monsters because he had anticipated that an enemy with similar strength would one day arise, to which Hilla told him that she could scarcely imagine such a foe. Though he didn't tell her, Will also realized that it meant that the Elite Bosses would be unimpeachably loyal to the Black Mage, incapable of betraying him under any circumstances.

Meeting the New Transcendents[]

After Alpha and Beta defeated Will and escaped from Mirror World, they were surprised to find that they had emerged in Grandis, not Maple World. They were then led by Cassius to a space between dimensions, where they were shocked to find the Commanders of the Black Mage - Arkarium, Damien, Hilla, and Von Leon - as well as Gelimer and Lotus. The Commanders offered an alliance with the new Transcendents, claiming that they could help Alpha and Beta become the Transcendents of Time of both Maple World and Grandis.

Arkarium explained that Maple World and Grandis were slowly merging, which was all according to the Black Mage's plan. He told them that only a Transcendent of Life, a Transcendent of Time, and a Transcendent of Light could exist in a given world, with a new Transcendent being created as a replacement should one disappear, though Hilla added that the circumstances could be less than ideal, such as how Alpha and Beta had been split in two.

However, should a world lose all its Transcendents, it would become unstable and would fuse with another world in order to regain its stability. Because the Black Mage, Rhinne, and Alicia had all been sealed away, Maple World had attempted to restore its balance by seeking to merge with Grandis. Hilla explained that the world merge would have stopped if the Transcendents were to have returned early on, but after centuries, Maple World was moving on pure inertia, meaning that even the return of the Transcendents wouldn't stop it. She also added that as Maple World was much larger than Grandis, their imminent collision would be interesting to watch.

She then explained that the Black Mage planned to become the Transcendent of Light of both Maple World and Grandis and asked if they would agree to join him. Alpha asked who the new Transcendent of Life would be if he and Beta were the new Transcendents of Time. Hilla told them that she didn't want to spoil the fun, but added that the Transcendent of Life had already been chosen.

Hilla then told them that they only needed to oust Chronica, Grandis' Transcendent of Time, in order to gain full power over that world. She also reminded them of Rhinne's fate when she had refused to obey the Black Mage. In order to buy time, Alpha told them that they needed time to think on the Commanders' offer, as they had only just become the new Transcendents, and so they wanted to learn more about Maple World and Grandis before they could make a decision.

Hilla accepted their proposal, claiming that it wasn't a pressing matter. Damien grew furious and called them arrogant fools, as Arkarium had promised him that the Black Mage would have the new Transcendents of Time bring his mother back. However, Arkarium assuaged him by joking that Alpha and Beta were merely living up their role as the Transcendents of Time by asking for more time. The Commanders then disappeared, leaving Alpha and Beta to think on their offer.

Fight for Azwan[]

At the behest of the deceased citizens of Azwan, the Alliance launched its forces in order to liberate the city from Hilla. They succeeded in taking back Azwan and driving Hilla out, thus gaining access to the lost city's countless treasures. After Hilla's disappearance, it was believed that she had left Maple World for good.

Soon after, however, Hilla disguised herself as a wandering mystic and began spreading stories about an elixir of everlasting youth that Hilla had left behind in the ruins of Azwan. Hoping to claim the treasure, Queen Areda of Ariant began sending her people on an expedition into the ruins. Because of the rumors, droves of people all across Maple World soon followed, with all of them hoping to attain eternal youth.

In order to investigate the rumors, the Alliance sent their forces into Azwan and successfully obtained the Elixir of Youth. One Alliance member brought the elixir back to Medina, who sensed Hilla's evil energy within the potion. She then translated the inscription as, “The loss of beauty across this fair world so saddens me. I have in my possession the power of immortality, which I shall grant to only the most beautiful souls,” noting that it had also been signed by Hilla herself.

After analyzing the components of the potion, however, Medina learned that it actually extracted obsession and insanity that hid inside the drinker's heart. She then thanked the Alliance member for preventing Hilla's scheme from coming to fruition and asked them to let the Alliance know about the potion.

Two days later, however, Hilla entered Ariant Castle while disguised as the wandering mystic and presented the elixir to Areda. Giddy at the prospect of eternal beauty and youth, Areda promised Hilla all the riches in the world before sending her away. As she walked away, Hilla smirked and shed her disguise, claiming that, “From Ariant… it will begin again…”

As a result of drinking the elixir, Areda was consumed with insanity. In order to continue maintaining the effect of the elixir, Areda began kidnapping the people of Ariant and draining their life force in the form of Erda. As a result, those who remained in Ariant were forced to toil even harder with the disappearance of their friends and neighbors.

Dimensional Invasion[]

In order to confront Magnus, who had seemingly betrayed the Black Mage, Hilla ordered Gelimer to find a way to open a portal between Maple World and Grandis. At her request, Gelimer developed a special type of portal called the Crimson Interdimensional Portal, which would allow Hilla's army to easily invade Grandis. After using the portal to arrive in Heliseum, Gelimer assured Hilla that with the success of his portal-generating device, Grandis would fall before them.

However, Hilla told Gelimer to relax and suggested that they spend time enjoying themselves, just as Magnus must have done. Gelimer replied that the reports indicated that Magnus was powerful, and that he had also been a Commander like Hilla. However, Hilla snapped at him that Magnus was nothing like her, claiming that Magnus couldn't keep his allegiances straight if they were made of unbendable steel. She also added that his intent to betray the Black Mage had been opaque to them all from the beginning.

Hilla told him to keep his mouth shut, but Magnus was merely amused that he seemed to have struck a nerve. He reminded Hilla that he had never promised his utmost loyalty to the Black Mage and explained that Gerand Darmoor used very different methods than the Black Mage, adding that he wouldn't embarrass himself further by continuing to play a part in such a ridiculous masquerade.

Hilla appeared genuinely upset by Magnus' betrayal and, holding back tears, she told him that it was only right to call him an enemy, swearing that she would take back everything that the Black Mage had given him. Magnus sneered and replied that it should have been that way all along, as he could use a good fight. They then engaged in a fierce battle, the outcome of which was unknown.

Black Heaven[]

Following the completion of Black Heaven, Hilla met with Gelimer in order to see the final product. Soon after, Gelimer finalized preparations with Arkarium and Hilla and petitioned to gain the coveted position of Commander upon the success of his mission. After Gelimer left, Hilla confided to Arkarium that though Gelimer had called Black Heaven a tiny airship, there was nothing tiny about it and she wondered what Gelimer, whom she called a madman, had in mind.

Heroes of Maple[]

After Arkarium, narrowly surviving Damien's attack, slithered back to headquarters following the World Tree incident, Hilla laughed and told him that things were going smoothly without him. Arkarium demanded to know if there was a plan that he was not aware of being put into motion, though Hilla merely asked if Arkarium had really thought that the Black Mage hadn't been aware of what he had been planning.

She told him to consider his snake form a punishment for his jealousy before reporting to the Black Mage that his plan was continuing smoothly, and with the Transcendent of Time imperfectly split and the Transcendent of Life scattered across the world, they were ready for his next orders. The Black Mage then told them to allow the Alliance to enter the Gate of the Present, where he awaited them on the other side.

Tenebris[]

With the creation of Tenebris, the Black Mage augmented Hilla's powers even further and ordered her to stop the Alliance from reaching him. With her new abilities, Hila created the Labyrinth of Suffering, a massive maze of illusion that spanned the entire surface of the Black Sun. As the Alliance fleet approached, Hilla created a wave of darkness that caused the Adversary's ship to crash-land, separating them from their allies.

She then began to plant the seeds of despair in the Adversary's mind by presenting them illusions of their allies slowly disappearing one by one. After finding themselves alone, the Adversary proceeded deeper into the labyrinth and encountered illusory monsters made in the image of deceased Alliance soldiers, all while being plagued by an insidious voice that Hilla had created to demoralize them.

Soon after, the Adversary followed the sound of screaming and discovered an unconscious Hilla, who had disguised herself as an Alliance soldier. After the Adversary rescued her, Hilla introduced herself as a Night Walker named Azalin. She immediately recognized the Adversary and noted that they had done many great things throughout their journey.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]

Azalin told the Adversary that they had all been depending on the Adversary to lead them through the fight. However, she told them that they only had to look around in order to see what their situation was. She explained that she had been expecting it, as they weren't actually fighting the real problem, which was that there were always problems when people came together. She told the Adversary that everyone really just wanted their own happiness, and that fighting the Black Mage didn't change that basic fact. However, she told them not to worry, as people's wishes still came true, even in the darkest times.

As the Adversary began questioning her words, Azalin changed the subject and asked where the rest of their team had gone. The Adversary told her that they had gotten separated in the labyrinth, after which the rest of the soldiers had mysteriously vanished one by one. They explained that they had discovered her after hearing someone screaming, but Azalin replied that she hadn't been screaming, pointing out that she had been knocked out when they had found her.

Though Azalin's words made sense, the Adversary couldn't help but feel confused, as they were sure that they had heard someone scream right where Azalin was, and that it had stopped the moment that they had found her. Azalin then offered to help them find the rest of their team, but the Adversary told her that it would be safer to regroup at her ship in order to gather supplies and plan their next move. However, Azalin replied that she couldn't remember where her ship had crashed, as she could only recall seeing the Adversary upon waking up.

The Adversary then decided that they would return to their own ship and began leading the way. To their surprise, however, many of the landmarks that they had mentally noted had vanished, causing them to get lost. Azalin testily asked them whether they were sure that they knew where they were going, causing the already-stressed Adversary to grow even more anxious.

As they continued wandering through the labyrinth, the Adversary found something glittering on the wall. Believing it to be a blocked tunnel, the Adversary attempted to break through, causing the ground to shake as a horde of monsters appeared and began attacking them. Frustrated at the Adversary's ineptitude, Azalin decided to lead the way instead.

After outrunning the monsters, Azalin told the Adversary that she couldn't trust them anymore and told them to listen to her. She asked them to collect traces from the monsters while she found a new path forward. Though they felt that something wasn't right, the Adversary collected Burning Black Souls from the monsters. Just as they began heading back, however, they began hearing a voice warning them about danger. Believing that it was all in their head, the Adversary ignored the voice and brought the souls back to Azalin, who then claimed that she was unable to find any clues from them.

The Adversary continued onward, choosing several forks in the road until arriving at a juncture filled with dead soldiers, though the Adversary was sure that the bodies hadn't been there moments ago. Losing confidence, they decided to press onward in order to find any survivors. As they walked away, the dead soldiers were reanimated into illusions of undead monsters.

The Adversary and Azalin then snuck past several Despairing monsters before encountering another throng of dead Alliance soldiers. Filled with despair at being too late to save them, the Adversary continued searching and encountered yet another group of dead Alliance soldiers. To their shock, the dead soldiers reanimated into monsters.

The Adversary was horrified to know that the monsters they had been fighting were fellow Alliance soldiers. Azalin then attacked one of the monsters, telling the Adversary that they needed to move forward. Filled with regret, the Adversary fought past the Alliance soldiers, their heart filled with disgust at killing the very people whom they were sworn to protect. As they continued cutting down their allies, the Adversary wondered in anguish what they were supposed to do now.

After reaching another juncture, the Adversary decided to rest while Azalin watched over them. The Adversary's dreams were filled with a voice of despair as Alliance soldiers were reanimated into monsters, forcing the Adversary to accept that there was no way to bring them back. The Adversary then awoke with a start, after which Azalin led them deeper into the labyrinth towards an altar.

Just as the Adversary was one step away from the altar, a curse sigil activated to engulf them. Suddenly, a portal opened, from which a powerful laser beam broke the curse sigil as the masked figure from Esfera appeared. Frustrated, Azalin revealed her true form as Hilla, augmented with even greater power from the Black Mage.

Hilla cursed the masked figure for interfering in their affairs, first with Will and now with her. However, she then laughed and explained that she had actually been meaning to kill them and stop them from meddling.[18] The Adversary was shocked to see Hilla, believing that the Alliance had defeated her at Azwan and driven her from Maple World.

However, Hilla merely laughed and told them that there was no way that she would have been defeated after a single battle when destiny itself was being written at Tenebris. The Adversary then demanded to know what she had done with Azalin, to which Hilla mockingly called out for help, demonstrating that she had been Azalin all along. She explained that she had broken their ambitions, but she had left their reason alone for this very moment.

The Adversary demanded to know why she had made them go through the labyrinth and kill their allies with their own hands. Hilla replied that it was because they were a fool, claiming that all humans were fools, wallowing in their helplessness and clinging to the coattails of their betters. She explained that when humans found an inkling of power, they would try to turn on those whom they once revered.

She then laughed and asked the Adversary if they had thought that she would simply leave Maple World, never to return. Upon seeing their shocked face, she told the Adversary that their fate was to fall into an ever-deeper quagmire and wander for all eternity, adding that it was high time that they stopped struggling and accepted it.

She then laughed at the masked figure for attempting to hide their identity from her. Claiming that they were too weak to handle her, she warned them to leave before she destroyed them. With that, she disappeared, claiming that she was eager to see what the Adversary's soul was made of. With that, she disappeared and left the Adversary and the masked figure alone.[19]

Hilla then watched the Adversary's progress from afar as they slowly gave into their despair. As they passed out from their exhaustion, they experienced a vision of Hilla and the fall of Azwan, as well as a vision of a ruined Ariant with Areda's obsession resulting in the kidnapping and exploitation of her people.

Believing that Hilla wished for them to be driven to insanity, the Adversary attempted to go on, but found that they had no energy or will to keep moving. With the heavy air smothering their lungs, the Adversary felt complete helplessness as they found themselves unable to even move anymore. As their vision darkened, they began wondering to themselves why it had to be them who was being forced to suffer.

Finally admitting defeat, the broken Adversary chose to let go of everything and collapsed at the Altar of Desire, where Hilla appeared to finally reap their soul. Nevertheless, the Adversary mustered the last ounce of will that they had left and began to fight Hilla in a desperate struggle for survival. As they continued battling, Hilla admitted that she was impressed by their tenacity, even while fatigued and hopeless. To make matters more interesting, she used her powers to drag Lotus' soul from the depths of death.

As he began attacking the Adversary, the masked figure appeared once again to block his attack, chipping their mask and revealing Orchid underneath. Orchid furiously demanded to know what Hilla had done to her brother. Hilla was amused to see Orchid and realized that Guwaru's influence had been masking her energy.

Hilla told Orchid that she had initially decided to leave her alone, since Orchid had seemed to keep to herself, but her continued interference had left Hilla irritated. Though she told Orchid to leave, Orchid continued to demand an explanation from Hilla about what she had done to Lotus. Realizing that Orchid wouldn't let it go, Hilla mocked her and explained that Lotus was now her slave.

Overwhelmed, the Adversary collapsed, despite Orchid's urges to get up. Hilla then summoned more monsters and told Orchid that for old times' sake, she would grant one more chance for her to leave. As the Adversary lost consciousness, Hilla declared that she would live forever in the Black Mage's new world as his chosen.

In the darkness of the Adversary's mind, a divine light manifested and spoke to them with the voice of someone close to them, urging them to open their eyes and see past the illusions that Hilla had created. As the Adversary regained their determination, they felt a warm light inside of them created from the wishes of all the people whom they protected. As they basked in the warmth, they recalled that it was the same feeling from Black Heaven. Feeling the presence of all their loved ones with them, the Adversary regained consciousness as the Seal Stone activated from their powerful determination.

Awakening back in the labyrinth, Hilla was genuinely shocked when she sensed the divine power of the Adversary emanating from within them. The Adversary told Hilla that they had been broken because they had tried shouldering the burden of everyone upon themselves. Hilla attempted to slash at them with her scythe as they spoke, but Orchid immediately used her own powers to stop the attack.

The Adversary explained how they had realized that they had never been alone, even in spite of how Hilla had tried to trick them into believing otherwise, and declared that they refused to fall for her manipulations any longer. As they stood with Orchid once again, an enraged Hilla used her powers to pull Damien's soul back from death. Nevertheless, the Adversary successfully defeated Hilla, who was shocked to find her power and youth disappearing, leaving her as an old, withered hag. She wailed and vanished in black flames, leaving behind the final Labyrinth Core.

FriendStory[]

Hilla's counterpart on Earth is the school nurse of Shinsoo International School and has an antagonistic relationship with Magnus, the PE teacher.

Orchid and the Stalker[]

After Francis fainted once again in class, he was brought to the infirmary. Soon after, Hilla called the traveler from another world, who was posing as a transfer student in order to keep Earth safe, and asked them to keep an eye on Francis, since her shift was over.

Hilla and Magnus Sittin' in a Tree[]

Despite secretly harboring feelings for each other, both Magnus and Hilla strictly enforced the no-dating policy at school, causing several of the students to set them up together so that the two wouldn't interfere with dating at school.

Hawkeye then asked a traveler, who had secretly switched roles with an actual student at the school, to ask Hilla about what she thought of Magnus, to which Hilla told them that she had no opinion on him. The students then decided to change the environment around the school to subliminally make the two fall for each other by posting photos around the school and online.

Soon after, the traveler mixed Flu Virus bottles into Magnus' water bottle and Hilla's mug, causing them to both grow sick together, which furthered the rumors of the two secretly dating and missing work together. Later on, the traveler met Hilla in the infirmary and asked whether she was in her early twenties. Hilla blushed and told them that she was nearly thirty, to which they told her that it was easy to find true love around thirty and pointed out that she and Magnus were around the same age.

Due to the traveler's actions, Magnus and Hilla slowly began to acknowledge their feelings for each other in their minds. Hoping to create a time of crisis to bring them together, the traveler mixed a chemical inside Magnus' drink, causing him to pass out. They then brought him to Hilla, who tenderly took care of him.

The next day, Magnus and Hilla were lured to a park, where the students had set up a romantic date for them. Though Magnus and Hilla admitted their feelings and kissed, Arkarium the biology teacher arrived and confronted the pair, who immediately denied their feeling for each other. Despite breaking up, however, Magnus and Hilla still found themselves thinking about each other.

If the Hidden Mission of Episode 3 is found and completed, a bonus scene at the end is added in which Hilla, with her hair down, invites Magnus to the movies, which he accepts, confirming that they're still dating in secret.

Cassandra's Tales of Totally Shocking Stuff[]

After Neinheart was injured, the traveler and Cygnus went to the infirmary, where Hilla told them that Neinheart's only injuries were a stubbed toe from when a book had hit it. The next day, when Oz was similarly attacked, the pair returned to the infimarly, where Hilla told them that only the tip of Oz's hair had been burned off.

Damien and the Spirit of Rock[]

During the school festival, Hilla was one of the judges for the battle of the bands and rated Damien's band a 7, claiming that their technique was adequate but not exceptional, and that their lyrics were slightly overcomplicated. She also added that she would have preferred if they had played a bit softer, as loud noise affected her skin. Meanwhile Magnus began to tell Hilla about his time in a cover band in his youth, though an uninterested Hilla merely told him to give his score, to which Magnus gave Damien's band a perfect 10.

After Damien's band finished and the lights went out, Magnus asked Hilla to hold him, though Hilla merely told him to act like an adult. Following Irena and her band's performance, Hilla also rated their performance an 8.

  11. For Evan, Azalin notes how impressive it is that he's the descendant of a great mage like Freud, despite being so young. She adds that Freud was truly incredible, and that she doesn't know how anyone could match such a master of magic. She then apologizes and claims that she's not saying anything about Evan specifically, as she's simply making observations.
  12. For Phantom, Azalin notes that he had even managed to stop Hilla from claiming the throne, adding that he must be pretty sharp to see through her tricks. She then adds that though everyone else was fooled, nothing got by him.
  13. For Shade, Azalin notes that it's strange that despite him not having any large, stand-out achievements, he had just happened to have one day fallen in with the legendary Heroes. She adds that while she doesn't know whether he's just well-connected, there has to be some reason why the Heroes let him hang out with them. She then asks if she's touched a nerve before saying that she had merely been thinking out loud.
  14. For Zero, she tells Alpha and Beta that she's heard that they're the new Transcendents who would succeed Rhinne as the Transcendent of Time. She adds that she can believe it, as she can feel the power shared between the two of them, and notes that it's no wonder that the Black Mage's Commanders have been after them. Alpha and Beta then wonder to themselves how Azalin knows that they're Transcendents, and how she knows that they've faced the Commanders. Just as they begin to ask her, Azalin interrupts them and says that since they're a Transcendent split in two, she wouldn't think that their powers actually match those of a real Transcendent. Just as they start getting offended that she cut them off, Azalin adds that the person next to them seems odd, referring to their twin.
  15. For the Nova, the Flora, Kinesis, Hayato, and Kanna, she tells them that she had always been surprised to hear that they had helped Maple World so much, since they're not from around there. The Nova and Flora classes get some additional dialogue here, in which Azalin, under her breath, snidely wonders how they could ever save Maple World when they can't even protect their own. When the player asks her what she had just said, Azalin tells them that she had merely said that they seem a little distracted. The Sengoku classes also get some additional dialogue, in which Azalin tells them that in any event, she knows that there are two sides, and so she asks them which one they're on, laughing that they'll need allies who can help them out in a pinch. She then asks if she's hit a nerve before adding that she didn't mean it, and that she'd just been thinking out loud.
  16. For Beast Tamer, Azalin notes that Chase is from Arboren, and that she's heard that Chase is also a big fan of the Heroes who had sealed the Black Mage. She adds that heroes who can save the world are amazing people, though she then points out that Chase hasn't actually met the Heroes, adding that she had expected more from her. She then asks if she's hit a nerve before adding that she didn't mean it, and that she'd just been thinking out loud.
  17. After all the class-exclusive dialogue happens, there's another piece of exclusive dialogue that occurs if the player has completed the Azwan storyline. Azalin notes that when she thinks about it, the Adversary really does tend to be wherever things are going wrong. She points out how they had driven Hilla from Azwan, and how they had gone after the Black Mage's Commanders, whom they had taken out one by one. The Demon gets some exclusive dialogue during this part, in which Hilla asks him how it had felt to take out the Commanders, since they had once been his comrades. She notes that he must have a cold heart, as she can't think of how else he could have killed Damien, his own brother, with his own hands. However, she then adds that she didn't mean anything by it, as she's simply stating facts. The Demon's dialogue then converges back to the regular exclusive dialogue, in which Azalin says that though some of the Commanders have disappeared completely from Maple World, there are others whom the Adversary has merely slowed down. If the player hasn't completed the Azwan storyline, Azalin will instead just note that things haven't really gone according to plan.
  18. Zero gets some exclusive dialogue here, in which they note that they knew that something had been off, as there's no way that anyone could know that they were Transcendents, or that they had met the Commanders immediately after escaping Mirror World, as only one of the Commanders would have that information. Hilla laughs and asks if they had only just realized that, to which Zero demands that she put their twin back as they were, referring to the previous Zero-exclusive dialogue, which mentions how it feels like their twin has disappeared, despite them being right there. However, Hilla refuses and tells them that they should've sided with the Commanders when they had first been given the offer.
  19. If the player is the Demon, right before she leaves, Hilla will say that she ought to show him something interesting for old times' sake, since he's betrayed the Black Mage. She then uses her power to pull Damien's soul from the afterlife and mockingly asks him how it feels to be reunited with his beloved sibling. The Demon angrily demands to know what she's done, to which Hilla jokingly tells him that she had thought that he had wanted to see Damien again, adding that he's making his beloved brother sad. She tells him not to look so unhappy to see his brother, as Damien has come such a long way for him. Upon seeing the Demon's anger, Hilla laughs and says that it seems that he still has a little spirit left in him after all. She then warns him not to do anything rash unless he wants another fight with his brother, after which she disappears and takes Damien's soul with her.
