Chapter 56: She doesn’t know any magic.
Next day, Rose Knights magic class began.
Mills arranged renowned mentors to new base: basics, tiers.
Magic: five ranks—Apprentice, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Forbidden.
Higher: harder, exponential power.
Teresa vs dragonkin ice shield: Apprentice—shattered.
Divine boost: 1st—unbreakable.
Others: below Apprentice.
Hard: pre-LV30 one 1st-tier = genius.
2nd: academy star.
3rd: Galvin undisputed #1, dean focus.
God-heir: thus.
Borrowed divine or not—talent proven.
Class on. Isabelle occasional pass.
Fear: noisy silent, heads down, problems.
Director feel.
Office: gold-rim stern mentor rep.
Tea. Ask:
“Three days—issues?”
Flattered cup. Glasses adjust.
“Some—not many. Goddess-chosen: gifts high. Theories once grasp.”
Still: “worst class” classic.
“But… Ashe—no talent.”
Frown deep.
“Explain?”
“Past unknown. Knows theory—channels none. Some born unlearn…”
Shake. Three days—death sentence.
Isabelle no take. Ask:
“Others?”
“None yet.”
“Ashe mine.”
Nod. Left.
Soon knock.
“Enter.”
Teresa paper pen. Brows knit puzzle.
“Lady Isabelle—some problems. Explain?”
“Mentors handle.”
“Busy others—only you.”
“Fine.”
40 girls few mentors—overloaded.
No doubt. Paper take.
Pen offer.
“Write please.”
Easy <LV30. Eyes closed.
Only divine stump.
Done explain. Teresa thank leave.
Post: Isabelle cheek touch. Villain off?
Villain: mock then solve?
Tsundere?
Helpless smile. Discard.
Outside: Teresa back panel. Paper high. Light through—words bright.
Isabelle script? Celis?
Absurd linger.
Next: Nora visit.
“Mentor check”—see Celis.
Shift Celis. Chat.
Teresa enter.
Greeting Nora Celis. Scratch head lost.
“Lady Isabelle?”
“Out.”
“Oh… Lady Celis explain?”
No deter. Paper pen front.
Heard no-magic rumor—but sun mark vivid.
Simple mark? Believe no magic.
Summon Isabelle: ≥1st-tier.
Apprentice problems fine.
Unexpected: Celis mouth cover smile. Gentle push back.
“Me? Mentors better.”
Soft refuse—heart sink.
“Give—I.”
Nora hand. Break. Plan ruin.
“I… still…”
“Child,” Nora helpless glance, “no bully Celis—no magic.”
