Silent Witch: Chinmoku no Majo no Kakushigoto - Ch. 27

More insight of Bernie’s POV didn’t help him either… Yup, still a dirt bag, glory hound.

Of course they gotta make him look bad. They gotta villafy him so you like the lousy pirnce.

Can someone spoils me the fate of this brat?

Spoiler

He's going to meet Monica again soon. He becomes a supporter of Monica in his own way, but it'll feel unfulfilling.

this feels like retcon over retcon over retcon

Yknow...
I bought 2 volumes of the official translation long before the fan translations here resumed.
I liked it, but I just read it in passing without much attention to the lore.

So in my headcannon is that her whole deal is that she learn magic in secret. So even the prince doesn't know her identity. That the sage selection (that was shown in the past) is also a secret event.
Or something like that.

Even after continuing reading this fan translations, I mostly just read it briefly.
Like, it's cute, but it's just fine, and I move on.

And then I watched the anime. I enjoyed it.
But in the first episode I remember being like: wait, she went to a magic school?
So what's with the whole "oh, I can't go to school, I can't socialize" ordeal?

And then this chapter also kinda retcon that by making that she got the idea of this silent casting from someone else.
And also that everyone should know who she is

Well, she did went to school but she had such a social anxiety problem that she was call Everett the Mute. After she created Chantless magic, she apprenticed under Rutherford. She was the only studying under him so she basically spent she whole school life mostly alone. As for the silent casting idea she got from someone else, that someone told her she sucks and he hates her.

Surprise flashback

still felt like a retcon to me, at least for the manga, since early in the manga it is heavily implied that she never went to school.
If she did, her entire monologue would be about her bad memories of school.

and the rest is still weak argument to me, putting headcanon over another headcanon.
I don't buy that the prince can't get at least an image or drawing of her face if the school is known.

It was never implied bru you just making shit up

I finished the anime of this a couple days ago and went into the manga because I wanted more... imagine my surprise when I realized the anime seems to have covered more material than the current translated manga chapters. 😭 Should I go ahead and just read the light novel?

Next chapter when :/ ?

 

[ThatRabidPotato]

Everyone else has already talked plenty about what a turd Bernie was for being so cruel to our precious little bean, so I'll leave that part alone.
What I want to point out instead is how much he screwed himself. If he'd just kept being nice to her, Monica probably would've married him. She plainly adored him and thought the world of him. She would've gone out of her way to help him as much as she could with magecraft, and he probably would've indeed been a sage in time himself. A married couple in the Sages.
Instead, he'll be completely forgotten, live and die like so many other second sons in obscurity. Karma at its finest.

What a world class asshole
