Monica Everett (CV: Saya Aizawa)
A prodigy magician, Monica was the youngest ever to be chosen as one of the Seven Sages, the kingdom’s elite magic practitioners. Known by the title "Silent Witch," she is the only mage capable of using Chantless Magic, bypassing the incantations typically required for spellcasting. Monica loves magic and mathematics, preferring the solitude of her mountain cabin, where she surrounds herself with books and papers. She is extremely shy and lacks common social knowledge. To guard the second prince, she adopts the alias "Monica Norton" and infiltrates Serendia Academy.

Nero (CV: Hitomi Nabatame)
Monica’s familiar, Nero takes the form of a black cat capable of understanding and speaking human language. When Monica feels distressed, Nero comforts her by letting her touch his paw pads. Although he struggles to remember human names other than Monica's, he enjoys reading novels and is a devoted fan of author Dustin Gunther.

Louis Miller (CV: Junichi Suwabe)
One of the Seven Sages, Louis is known as the "Barrier Magician." He was chosen as a Sage at the same time as Monica, which is why he refers to her as "my fellow comrade." Although he aligns with the first prince’s faction, he was assigned by the king to guard the second prince, a task he then delegated to Monica. Despite his authoritative demeanor, he is utterly devoted to his beloved wife, Rosalie, and can't stand up to her.

Introduction

Humanity cannot use magic without chanting incantations.

However, one girl defied this impossibility and made the unimaginable a reality.

In the kingdom, the Seven Sages stand at the pinnacle of magical mastery. Among them is Monica Everett, known as the "Silent Witch," a young prodigy who was the first in history to develop Chantless Magic.

But Monica is painfully shy and suffers from extreme stage fright. She has secluded herself in a remote mountain cabin, accompanied only by her familiar, a black cat, and immerses herself in the study of magic surrounded by books on mathematical formulas.

One day, her peaceful life is interrupted by a visit from Louis Miller, a fellow Sage known as the "Barrier Magician." To Monica's surprise, Louis delivers a royal command: infiltrate an elite academy for nobles and secretly guard the second prince.

The popular high-fantasy series, which has amassed over 1.3 billion views on Shōsetsuka ni Narō and surpassed 600,000 copies in print, is finally coming to life as an anime! The quiet yet brilliant adventures of Monica, the "Silent Witch" who loves magic and numbers, are about to begin!
