As someone who loves Zeus, I would like to offer my thoughts and some things I want to share about this idiot:
Zeus is not only egotistical and a show-off, but also childish and someone who hates to lose. He’s a bit of a bad sport, honestly. We know this because he would always prove to others that he’s better and sometimes this results in dragon summoning.
However, he also cares a lot about his friends (despite how much he argues with them for whatever reason).
He and Klaus don’t like each other very much because they’re polar opposites. But they can get along from time to time like in the Joint Class Trip event… until they start arguing over something stupid again.
It was revealed that Zeus would visit Lucious everyday, bring him snacks from the outside world so that he would be aware of new types of food outside of the labyrinth, and that he gave Lucious his old Night Class uniform because he considered him as his friend and a part of the Night Class. He even brought Hiro along for added company.
Even though Lucious didn’t think of Zeus as a friend at first, mainly because he didn’t want to become disappointed again when Zeus leaves and forgets about him like everyone else, he eventually gave in after realizing that Zeus wouldn’t leave him alone. I would also like to add that when MC met Lucious for the first time and asked if he was a Night Class student, he said yes even though he wasn’t, and I think it’s because of what Zeus said to him before. And that makes me really happy.
Caesar doesn’t want Zeus to see him turn into a pig.
Zeus is so childish that he laughs at Caesar whenever he turns into a pig. He also calls Caesar “porker”, much to Caesar’s dismay.
Zeus used to refer to Alfonse as “potion freak” until he started getting to know him better and started calling him by his real name and it was a nice moment imo
Zeus threw a party for Lucious before the holidays because he knew Lucious would be staying in the academy and he would probably feel lonely.
When Hiro and MC went into the labyrinth, they saw Lucious at Illusion Station. Apparently, he became concerned when Zeus hadn’t visited him in a while so he decided to wait for Zeus at the labyrinth entrance. I think Zeus was cursed into like a coma or something? I can’t remember. But their friendship is so wonderful, it makes me cry.
In a spin-off, he was learning how to play chess and Hiro suggested that he sacrifice one of his pawns, but Zeus refused because he didn’t want to willingly kill off one of his own for a better move despite it being only a game. This side to him is one of the things I adore about his character.
He was really supportive of Hiro and MC in Hiro’s route too. Kept telling those two lovebirds to kiss already.
He is pretty reckless sometimes and summon dangerous creatures without a care in the world, but only because he trusts that Hiro is capable of handling it if the situation goes out of hand. It was revealed in a spin-off event that he trusts that Hiro would protect him, so he doesn’t feel worried about taking risks.
Other times, he can be pretty responsible and aware of dangerous situations to the point of scolding someone if they weren’t careful and got themselves hurt. He once scolded the MC for entering the labyrinth alone, saying that she would have been lost forever if he hadn’t summoned her out.
Zeus likes being the boss. He’s a noble who thinks extremely highly of himself and hates when things don’t go the way he wanted them to. I kinda understand that his personality is supposed to be the spoiled rich aristocrat type, but strangely (as pointed out by other characters in WH, maybe Caesar?) Zeus doesn’t really act like a noble and they wouldn’t have even known that he is one if no one said anything about it. I actually didn’t know about it until reading some spin-off stories about him. It’s honestly amusing to know that Zeus — a giant 20+ year old guy who is closely related to ROYALTY — chases things around like a little kid when they run away from him. He chased magical flowers around the academy greenhouse with a spray bottle because he was so loud that they avoid him, he chased Strange Taffy around the courtyard because Strange Taffy wouldn’t tell them about the girl’s talk, and he chased real Taffy when he found out that Taffy was terrified of him.
Also, even though he’s super rich, he’s pretty cool about it.
As I recalled, in Zeus’ birthday event, he held a three day birthday festival for himself. But the party was mostly to thank the people who take care of him. And I was really envious that the students ate luxurious food provided by five star chefs like damn!
Hiro once mentioned that Zeus could not skip out on a ball that they were supposed to attend during the holidays. When Zeus complained and asked why he had to go, Hiro simply said that he promised Zeus’ mother that he would bring him home even if he had to drag him back. Zeus immediately accepted his fate because the almighty Zeus cannot say no to his mother. Why? Because, according to him, his mother is even scarier than his father when he’s mad. This coming from a guy who summoned the Eastern Dragon on Hiro’s bed at midnight to wish him a happy birthday, I find it hilarious.
Although there are people who think Zeus isn’t cut out to be a Prefect or a Prefect Judge (mainly Klaus, but also MC in Zeus’ route), I see him occasionally showing his good qualities when they are needed. The MC has stated many times that Zeus would be a terrible judge towards her and that he would fail her whenever he wanted to if she pisses him off. Zeus teases the MC before her first trial because she was nervous and she became angry at him until she forgot about it completely. When he was stuck in a room with the MC for the Prefect Trial, he refused to help and let the MC figure out a solution herself. When she almost fell down the stairs during her trial, he pulled her back to safety. On another trial, the MC picks Klaus for her partner instead of him and he becomes upset over this. After she successfully finished her trial, the headmaster asked Zeus if she passed or failed. MC thinks that Zeus would fail her because she picked Klaus over him or that she took too long to complete it, but he allowed her to pass. Caesar and Alfonse also explained that the Prefect Judge protects the Prefect candidate because their trials can be dangerous and Zeus prioritized the MC’s safety when they were in the underground sunken kingdom. Because MC lost an important object that Klaus and the headmaster hid on her without telling anyone, Zeus said that if someone had told him then he would’ve paid more attention to it. Zeus does his job so casually that no one is aware of it, even to the MC herself until she paid more attention to his actions.
Zeus can be an idiot. In a spin-off event, he said he would write his name on MC’s forehead so she wouldn’t forget it (she was cursed to losing her memories) and completely forgetting that if he did that, she wouldn’t be able to read it anyway.
Zeus can also be pretty smart too. When he and the others were trapped on a high-speed train and tried to get to the furnace by going over the roof, he set up a barrier so they wouldn’t get blown away by the wind.
In his birthday event, Caesar commented that MC’s gift was so simple and plain, and Zeus was left speechless by that. He later revealed that he was worried that Caesar might have hurt her feelings because he called her gift “simple” and that he knew that MC created her birthday gift by using alchemy which, according to him, is very hard to accomplish. He was aware of it the entire time because he could sense her magical power in the gift.
Have I already established that Zeus is a child? Because I remember he threw a tantrum in the Night Class after he and MC got into a big fight.
Oh, he also pranked Hiro hard when he wasn’t given any candy from him during Halloween. Hiro learned his lesson and started carrying candy wherever he goes during the holiday. Zeus can be mean to Hiro sometimes. Poor Hiro.
He has this weird obsession with dragons. I find it kinda cute when, you know, it doesn’t put everyone in mortal peril.
He adores the MC really. Would pretty much give her anything she wants to keep her happy. When MC was indecisive over which dessert to eat, he just dumps all her choices into her plate. MC scolds him because she needs to watch out for her diet or else she’d get fat, but he doesn’t care and tells her that she’s happiest when she’s eating.
I’m pretty sure I have some more to add to this list but there’s too many and my hand is already cramping lol
