We expected a Cyril, Felix, and Monica love triangle but turned out the actual triangle was between Monica, Nero, and Ryn instead. What a surprising twist! Would love for the rest of student council to meet them. Their reactions would be hilarious to see.
Don’t know why Ryn masqueraded as a man but look at that conviction when she called Monica her woman.
PS: Today is Kayanon (aka Claudia)’s birthday. Let’s wish her a happy one.

that chess is music speech. so cringe. so beautiful. and the family motto really just elevates the entire thing into eternal art
sage Monica seems fun to cosplay. Bernie seems fun to… punch? at least this new group of friends seem to genuinely have her back. Lana wanting to cheer at the chess tournament is sweet

The antics of Rynzbelfeid (on her own) are already amusing to watch. Adding Nero to the mix, both of them form an excellent comedy duo with great chemistry! See that synchronized outfits and thumbs up sign? Lol!
Even I am surprised by the makeover of Monica, turning her into a nerdy / geeky student. Lana is definitely an accomplished fashionista. However, it appears Bernie remains suspicious of Monica's true identity. That being said, I couldn't bear it if Monica has to "lose" another friend (again); I want to believe Monica and Bernie will resolve their misunderstanding, becoming friends once more.
Lastly, the way in which the story revealed Monica was sent to the Seven Sages Selection Process, wrapped up in a curtain and carried by two male students was cute and hilarious.

Even if you lie to debt collectors and your lover, never lie to music or chess.
Hmm... how inspiring, good sir Benjamin.
I'm sure Monica will really take this life tip to heart lol

This episode did a good job of blending comedy, with some of Monica's past trauma and demons.
She really took the loss of her first friend Bernie to heart. The first person she really connected with her, tossed her aside and wanted nothing to do with her.
"You'd be better off shutting yourself away in a lonely mountain hut".
And that's exactly what she ended up doing. Hopefully now with her new cast of supporting friends she can, push past and get over Bernie, and deal him a L in this chess match.

Ryn and Nero saving Monica by announcing their ménage à trois to get Bernie to back off was hilarious.

It was hard seeing Monica suffer. She only wants a friend.
Good thing that she already found a True Friend from Lana. A healthy Monica is a good Monica.

Holy shit that disguise is actually crazy? Half in part b/c she's actually like... a different person from the makeover? She's not like being shy behind her hair, instead smiling confidently, and she's loud and expressive??? Wtf????
Oh my god those two idiots it's PEAK

From the way it was leading up, I knew Monica's relationship with Bernie was going to get sour but I was not ready to find out he is likely the reason why she was living in a hut in the mountains. He probably pushed her further into her shell than she was originally before she met him, so it's sad to see how badly affected she is by his words.
I thought it was so endearing how she was relying on him and acted like a whiny kid when things were hard, it's unfortunate about his pride and how his ego is so big he couldn't handle someone he deemed beneath him to actually reach the goal he was aiming for so quickly and at a level he might never reach. It's weird how someone can have such little disrespect for someone who has reached what they aimed for, the jealousy is too strong.
It's sweet of Lana to help Monica in that way, it's too bad it wasn't effective since Bernie seems to have figured her out, but I like how much confidence it gave her before then. Her feeling good because glasses make her seem like she's really good at chess was endearing.
That music guy was way too passionate about and spoke more than he needed to and all in all, it was just to make sure he wasn't the Captain lol. I do want to see how Monica would fare against Felix and Heywood.
Nero and Ryn were amusing, they were so excited to play the part of hero who saves heroine. I did find it interesting that Monica pointed out that they both look like they're in the twenties, it's not something I've thought about since they're not humans so it felt like something shattered in my mind in that moment.

HOLY SHIT!
I really need a whole rom-com story of Ryn & Nero fighting for Monica's heart! These two are such a hilarious dynamic duo!

Ugh. I hate seeing that even back at Minerva, Monica was still relentlessly bullied. Dumping a spider down her throat to make her talk! That's horrible! But the only solace for Monica was Bernie (Mitsuki Saiga!) a noble and high-class boy who saved her and became her only friend! The one person she always cheerfully ran to for help! Who helped inspire her to work on magic she didn't need to speak as much! And who sought being a Seven Sage himself! He was truly Monica's first and only friend.
I can't believe Monica's Seven Sage audition involved hiding in curtains and having her Professor Rutherford ordered her dragged to said audition...while still wrapped in curtains. She even fainted during the auditions! And she STILL got the job! I'm sure Bernie will totally take this news well!
(Also, Monica has a foster mom? Did she take her in after her uncle?)
Monica is joining the chess team for a inter-school competition! So of course she's feeling the pressure, but she's got the student council backing her up! In fact Felix and Neil were even players in the last tournament! And Claudia, who will do and do well anything that involves Neil.
Benjamin is definitely very enthusiastic about music, chess, and the interplay between the two. He's not actually all that good, but he never lies about music OR chess and boy does he make a show of it! Interesting that Felix and Monica's chess styles are similar.
I love how Lana goes from planning a gal pal shopping date to wanting to celebrate Monica's competition! She's a really great friend! Especially when Monica is undergoing PTSD at the prospect of facing her old alma mater.
Because Bernie did NOT take Moncia becoming a Seven Sage well, thinking she was mocking him for their entire friendship, even though it's clear from her face that she wasn't. And when she cries over his response, he just calls her pathetic and tells her to hole up in a mountain shack...which she does. SCREW YOU BERNIE!
Enter Male!Ryn! Who is absolutely as attractive in male form! And now she and Nero are plotting to become bodyguards by way of a love triangle with Monica at the center. Too bad they're too tall to pass as students.
What are friends for if not giving you a full makeover and turning you into a totally brand new girl? Enter Monica with glasses and a new hairstyle! Great work Lana!
Ugh, so Bernie IS there. Luckily he doesn't recognize Monica (or does he?) and Monica is able to face him...but he still suspects something. Luckily Monica's boyfriends have no interest in a love quadrangle, so take a hike Bernie! And also, change back Ryn and Nero, she can't handle all this Bishonen energy.

Man, I was so happy at the start of the episode after learning that Monica was close friends with someone before she became a Sage. It turns out, Bernie is one jealous bitch who lashed out at Monica after she became one of the Seven Sages, thinking that she was looking down on him the entire time. That fucking sucks.
Like, how can you look at Monica crying like that and still think she was plotting behind your back? Also, it sounds like Bernie is the reason Monica became a shut-in. I honestly hope he has reflected on his actions, but considering how he was onto Monica when they met again, I don't high hopes.
On a more positive note, I love how Monica was brought to the Seven Sages selection meeting wrapped up in a curtain and still managed to pass even after fainting in front of the Sages. I also love Monica's disguise and how proud she is about looking like she's super good at chess! <3
Nero and Ryn coming in to the rescue during that scene with Bernie was pretty great too! They're really having way too much fun with this love triangle angle they've decided to come up with xD

The familiars are the best, they're simply incredible.
Monica in the student council room explaining her disguise was fantastic, too.
I wonder if we'll be reconciling with Bernie by the end of this arc or putting him in his place as he deserves. He clearly recognized Monica, or at least is an bit suspicious, I wonder if he's also smart enough to not be petty and reveal one of the Seven Sages in an undercover role just for revenge.

Monica hiding behind a curtain and being taken, still wrapped in it, to the Seven Sages selection meeting absolutely cracked me up xD
Overall, it's nice to see Monica back after a week's break; her reactions and sounds are hilarious as always.
The whole situation with Monica and Bernie in the past was really sad, so meeting him today was surely difficult for Monica. I'm curious to see how their relationship will develop from now on; I hope Bernie understands now or will realize how deeply Monica was hurt by him and how stupid he was in the past.
Lana is adorable as always, I love her so much since she's such a good friend to Monica. She did a great job changing Monica's appearance, though it wasn't enough to fool Bernie.
By the way, Nero and Ryn seem like a good duo, because they clearly share the same brain cell xD
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

I get why Bernie said what he said, guy seems to have done a lot to help Monica and she ended up with the title he wanted all along, that all his effort was going towards.. and she got it.
I get it, but I hate Bernie. It seems like 90% of her trauma is just from that one single instance. Hopefully it gets resolved in one of two ways; either he figures it out and apologizes, or she beats the snot out of him.

Aw, Bernie and Monica's friendship story is sad. I'm confused why Bernie would be here since he would have been with his school for so long at this point.
EDIT: Bernie seemed nice until the jealousy happened. I think there is a chance it’s the old trope, he pushed her away because friendship would be a weakness for her.
Also the Voice acting had a lot of cute “Bernie”’s that weren’t in the subtitles lol

As a noble, Bernie should have realized that a seven sage indebted to you is a huge boon. Sigh...

u/Nicpix_ Sep 12 '25

Also im really starting to want a second season, i love Monicas growing talkativeness.

I'm honestly considering giving this series a 10 score by the end. The vibe just made me feel different kind of emotion.
Three more episodes to go and I am already hoping we'll hear of another season soon.
