binged through the available english volumes since last week's episode and now i want to discuss it, novel spoilers ahead
1. why does Felix not suspect Monica, just because she flexed her hand to prove it's uninjured?
2. Cyril seems like he's onto her after the new year's event but there's nothing specifically that stands out to have caused it that i remember
3. the novel skips out the 2 days leading up to the 1v3 fight, did nobody really ask why Monica seemed to have attachments to Minerva - or just towards Dee?
4. Claudia's behaviour towards Monica during the 1v3 was a little suspicious when she gave her an excuse to leave, and just her attitude towards Monica in general seems like she knows but Claudia is Claudia so it's hard to tell
5. both the Starseer witch and the witch of Thorns seem suspicious as fuck, Starseer especially if what the clues about the prince add up to is true. I want to believe Thorns is a nice guy and it adds up with the quirkiness of the sages in general but wanting to join in on the investigation points towards him being in one of the factions - 2nd prince's faction if he wants to make sure nothing is found or 1st prince's faction to look for dirt (would make more sense since he was helping the 1st prince find his cat)
6. Baal is unfathomably based.
I really hope the anime makes them speed up the novel translations, we're 5 volumes behind and I want to consume all the fanworks but they contain spoilers for future novels so I can't yet - really hope I don't miss out on any limited time doujins.
