Shouryuu

Shoryu is a level 90 Wolf Fang Swashbuckler. Although he is young, he is one of the top members of Crescent Moon Alliance and acts as its Battle Team Leader. He participates in fighting, hunting and ingredient-gathering. In the real world, he is a second year high-school student called Shousuke (章介).

Personality
Shoryu believes that a player's level is not the most important aspect in determining the success of a battle. For example, he tells Naotsugu that if you just depend on your level to win a fight, when you lose, you always say that your level was insufficient. Therefore, if you reach the top level and you still can't beat an opponent, then by this logic, you'll never be able to beat him, and this is depressing. Instead, he stresses the importance of good teamwork and cooperation. According to him, even low-level players can learn to cooperate with each other and will grow to become the strongest team. He praises Shiroe as a master of this way of thinking.

He harbors a crush for Maryelle, but seems to be aware that he has no chance, and that she is more interested in Naotsugu. She, in turn, sees him more as a younger brother due to the twelve years of age between them.

Return of the Goblin King arc
Shoryu is away from the beach, where the low-level players are, when Maryelle calls him with urgent news -- Sahuagin were attacking the beach. He, Kawara, and Shigeru rush to the beach, where the witness thousands of the monsters leaping onto the beach. They quickly take action, with Shoryu protecting Maryelle when some of them surround her.
