“The principal in Edelstein, known for his kind and gentle demeanor toward all. The fact that he welcomed me to Edelstein by giving me Rue Ore Chocolate serves as proof of his inherent goodness.
It is widely accepted as indisputable fact that no one who gives you food can be a bad person. He's a wonderful teacher who guides children down the right path, helping them grow into fine adults.
He also seems to hold special classes from time to time, and is an authority figure the people of Edelstein trust and follow. If you have any doubts, go pay him a visit and talk things over. At the time of writing this entry, I've just returned from a deep discussion with him on whether the milk or tea should be poured first when making milk tea.”

“The Basic Training Instructor of the Resistance, a secret organization formed to liberate Edelstein. He oversees Resistance training at the entrance to the Training Rooms.
His role as the headmaster was merely an identity he assumed as cover. Judging by his strong, dignified presence, he seems like someone who was quite renowned in his prime. Perhaps that's why the people of Edelstein continue to place their trust in him.”

Ferdi is the founder of the Resistance and the headmaster of Edelstein]'s school.
Story
Founding the Resistance
Ferdi was the headmaster of Edelstein's local school, where he supervised the education of the city's youth. After the Black Wings took over the town, Ferdi founded the Resistance and recruited citizens to fight the Black Wings in secrecy while masquerading as ordinary citizens with ordinary jobs. Amongst these citizens were Claudine, Elex, Belle, Brighton, and Checky, who became key figures in the movement. Masquerading as a doctor, a kindergarten teacher, a police officer, a street sweeper, and the town mascot, respectively, they secretly recruited and trained citizens to become soldiers who could serve as support, spies, and assassins in the fight against the Black Wings. Elex trained Blasters, powerful warriors who used Arm Cannons; Belle trained Wild Hunters, bowmen who rode on wild Jaguars; Brighton trained Battle Mages, unconventional magicians who used their staffs to attack enemies at close range; and Checky trained Mechanics who attacked from powerful mecha-suits. Claudine did not lead any branch of the Resistance, as it was the Resistance's policy not to train thieves, and instead served as the head of operations while Headmaster Ferdi managed the Resistance's special training program.
A New Agent
After a Resistance agent codenamed J rescued a young citizen who had saved a test subject of Gelimer named Vita, the citizen sought out Headmaster Ferdi in order to ask him how they could get stronger. Realizing that they were the one whom J had mentioned, Ferdi suggested that they help other people around town. After helping the townspeople, the citizen returned to Ferdi, who gave them a special invitation. Upon opening it, the citizen was transported to the Secret Plaza of the Resistance. There, they were surprised to see the familiar faces of Claudine and all the other townspeople whom they had helped. Claudine explained that while they pretended to be ordinary and meek in public, all of them fought secretly in the Resistance. After speaking with each of the different leaders and learning about their specializations, the citizen chose their path and became an official member of the Resistance. Soon after, Vita also decided to join the Resistance in order to repay them for everything they had done for her. Ferdi then commended Vita for her bravery in helping them, even without any combat abilities, and officially welcomed her into the Resistance.
As the Resistance member grew stronger, Ferdi summoned them to the Secret Plaza, where they were assigned a special mission to steal a report from a Black Wings agent named Schiller, after which their instructor taught them new skills. Soon after, Ferdi called them back for another mission, where their instructor tasked them with destroying the Black Wings' Energy Conducting Device. Some time later, Ferdi called them back for an emergency meeting, where Claudine told them that their instructor had gone missing in the Verne Mine during a mission, prompting the Resistance member to save them. After the Resistance member mastered their abilities, Ferdi contacted them and thanked them for their dedication and hard work since the start of their Special Training. He then asked them to come back to Edelstein for one last session. There, Ferdi reminisced with them about how they had been a clueless rookie at the start of their training. However, Ferdi told them that since then, they had proven themselves time and time again. Though they had nothing left to learn from Special Training, he reminded them that they still had much to learn, not from a teacher, but from the world. As thanks, he taught them a powerful skill to aid them until the day that Edelstein would be freed.
Recruiting the Demon
After the Demon was rescued by the Resistance and brought to the Secret Plaza, Ferdi asked him to join the Resistance after realizing that they both had a common enemy. After considering it, the Demon decided to accept their offer and thanked them for rescuing him, after which he enrolled in Ferdi's training program in order to get stronger.
Verne Mine Investigation
A traveler was called to Edelstein by Headmaster Ferdi, who requested their help in assisting the citizens of Edelstein. The traveler met with Ferdi, who explained that Edelstein was also known as the Iron City, as it was renowned for its power plants and mining industry. However, he noted that the powerful monsters and the Black Wings made entry to the Verne Mine difficult. The traveler asked Ferdi who the Black Wings were, to which he explained that they were the people dressed in black who monitored the city and ruled with an iron fist. Based on Ferdi's tone, the traveler quickly surmised that the Black Wings were a hated organization. Ferdi then directed the traveler to meet with Albert, the former Council President.[1]
Training Xenon
After Xenon was rescued by the Resistance, Checky asked him to complete Ferdi's basic training program in order to see if it would jog his memories. Although he was still unable to remember anything, Checky nevertheless welcomed him into the Resistance. Soon after, Xenon spoke with Brighton, who asked him to gain Headmaster Ferdi's approval, explaining that he would trust Xenon if Ferdi approved of his character. After Ferdi placed his trust in Xenon, Brighton did as well.
Birth of an Alliance
After the Resistance was invited to attend a conference in Ereve to discuss a worldwide alliance, Ferdi informed Claudine that he would leave the decision entirely to the other Resistance leaders. While discussing the matter, Belle noted that Ferdi had long since been saying that the Resistance ought to join forces with the Cygnus Knights, with the Resistance leaders hesitantly agreeing to attend. After receiving unanimous confirmations, the First Continental Conference took place, and the Maple Alliance was officially created.
Aftermath
After the battle of Tenebris, the Resistance member met with Headmaster Ferdi, who reminisced about the day that they had first joined the Resistance, noting that he could already tell back then that they were special. However, he added that now that Edelstein had regained its peace, he could no longer treat them as he used to, pointing out that they were now the Ace of the Alliance and the Adversary. Nevertheless, he noted that he was sure that they would never forget Vita, whom they had saved without knowing anything about. He then told them to go to the gardens if they had time, adding that Claudine was already there. There, the Resistance member met with Claudine and discovered that the Resistance had erected a gravestone for Vita after she was killed by Gelimer.
