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
