Jack says he has “done skiing, ice skating and a bunch of other winter sports,” but he is best at snowboarding, recently doing halfpipes and practicing grabs.

Jack says that he and Vil took skiing and snowboarding lessons together when they were children, and Vil explains that Jack was “already quite skilled at both” and gave him advice.

Jack has been into winter sports since he was a child, skiing down a large mountain in his hometown since he was ten years old.

Jack is so athletically gifted that he attracts attention from Idia, who starts stalking him in order to take notes on his build and capabilities in order to add similar upgrades to Ortho.

Vargas is not impressed.

There are repeated comments that Jack is extremely fast and nimble despite his size, with Cater describing his efforts during Beanfest as “ninja acrobatics.”

Unnamed students say that Jack is able to close a 500-meter gap in a matter of seconds, and Ruggie comments that Jack caught twenty members of the opposite team on his own during Beanfest.

Jack can run for 30 minutes straight without breathing heavily and says, “I thought that was normal. Even my younger siblings play tag from morning to afternoon. They go for like six hours at a time.”

We also see Jack give a powerful kick to a tree during Beanfest in an attempt to provoke Floyd.

He succeeds, getting attacked and dodging with what Azul describes as “a downright jaw-dropping display of reflexes.”

Azul calls Jack’s athleticism is “frankly absurd” and Jade concedes that his team lost the game because he failed to properly account for Jack’s abilities.

Like most of the students, Jack seems suspicious of Crowley. When Crowley announces that he “went to great lengths” to discover a way to send the tsums home during Tsumted Jack responds, “Yeah, whatever. I bet another hole just happened to open.”

Jack has very strict ideas about romance: he says that doesn’t “need lots of attention” because “wolf beast-people only have one special someone, ever. That’s how it was for my parents and grandparents. They’re never apart, from when they wake up to when they go to bed. They walk together, eat together…you name it. I’m sure I’ll be the same. When I fall in love with someone, I’ll want to be with them for life.”

Ace and Deuce say that he takes dating “WAY too seriously” and “You’re also assuming you’ll get married. You don’t even know what you’re gonna do for a living.”

Leona’s dorm uniform vignette centers upon Jack struggling to get along with second-year students of Savanaclaw who “skirt the rules” of the Spelldrive in order to compensate for how he is better at the game than they are, despite being an underclassman.

Leona tells Jack off for being disruptive to the team only to turn on the bullies themselves after Jack leaves, saying it is embarrassing to watch them “get all huffy” after losing to a first-year.

Jack continues to excel above the second-year students who continue to take offense and plot to jump him, with Ruggie pointing out, “The jealousy’s bad enough, but Jack’s attitude sure ain’t helping. The world’s not black and white. Not everything can be categorized as ‘right’ or ‘wrong.’”

Ruggie recommends that they let the second-year students “put a little fear into Jack and teach him to respect the rest of his dorm.”

The bullies demand that Jack never play Spelldrive for Savanaclaw again, approaching him in a group of thirty to intimidate him.

Jack defends himself physically during the ensuing brawl but either can’t or won’t use magic, even after the older students do.

Leona steps in and the bullies try to use Leona’s own words in their defense, saying that they were “Teachin’ him how to play ‘smart’,” but Leona is unimpressed and calls them out on using magic in a brawl which “is a foul, full stop.”

Presumably having never seen Leona fight, the thirty second-year students turn on him when he insists upon defending Jack (despite Jack’s protests), in a display of power that Jack describes as “in a league of its own.”

Jack asks why Leona came to his rescue and Leona says “Babysitting a pup that ain’t even opened its eyes yet is part of the housewarden job description.”

Jack thanks Leona for his help, saying that he has learned he is “still so green in so many ways…and that we have one incredible housewarden.”

Jack declares that Leona is “the real deal after all,” saying, “I knew he wouldn’t let me down. One day, I want to fight him at his strongest!”
