This episode is fun because Monica gets one, but two “big hero” moments. However, despite her creation of the Fire Dragon in her battle against Cyril’s rampage, the battle is not about her. But about Cyril.
Cyril is one of the people with core childhood memories that defines its own world. Cyril wanted to be loved by his mother, so the only way he decided to do this was to be a perfect nobleman. After all, if he did – the above was the blood of his half summoner – then she had to be proud of him, right? It’s something an innocent child would think of, and even though he’s old enough now to see the truth, he’s still blinded by seeing the situation as an innocent child, and he didn’t even think about questioning it.
The truth is that Cyril’s mother was seriously abused by her husband. After her death, her feelings for him were transferred to her son, and the more Cyril was like his father (even his idealized version), the less she recognized him. Therefore, the tragedy here is that Cyril tries to be a perfect nobleman, his mother will like him, and he has been blindly following this path for many years.
On the other hand, the second glitz-like moment in this episode tells us about Monica, not her in it, but how she perceives. So far, we have seen how ordinary people think of her. Issabelle saw it The silent witch A hero from myths and legends – her feelings are thoroughly worshipped.
But for Professor Thornlee, we see how people in the magical community think of her. Monica felt confused and angry when she began to rewrite her spell. But, the moment he realized that he had not recited it, it turned into pure horror. If there is a fearful person among the mages, it is The silent witch.
Louis further expands this reason in this episode. Although his pride would not let him say that, he saw her as a stronger wizard. Moreover, as a genius himself, he knows what talent is. However, in his eyes, Monica was not like him. She is far beyond him: a monster. His bullying against her is just him fighting his own inferiority complex – trying to take the upper hand in their relationship. Even though he knew how to use her true personality, he was still in awe of her power. Therefore, he was forced to let her see her strength-for only by overcoming her strongest can one truly satisfy one’s own self.
all in all The Secret of the Silent Witch Always a good person. Before we do the right assassination plot, we have gained a multifaceted mystery that not only put Monica in the spotlight, but also moved her to a place near Prince Felix. I’m glad to see what happened next week when I started the second arc of the story.

Random thought:
•A beautiful mathematical sequence of one person is another man suffocated to death by a pig.
• Since the former Treasurer and his fiancé were obvious victims of Professor Thorne and his thinking magic, I hope they get justice, or at least be allowed to return to school.
•Will no one notice the extra ward on the Louis pendant? Or is it possible for only a Monica-level mage to notice such a thing?
• Strangely, despite being the second prince, Felix seems to have the strongest claim to the throne. I’m interested in learning more about his family and the politics around him.
