Secrets of the Silent Witch (Silent Witch: Chinmoku no Majo no Kakushigoto) is a light novel series written by Matsuri Isora and illustrated by Nanna Fujimi, which began publication in 2021. It also has a manga adaptation illustrated by Tobi Tana, which began serialization in the shoujo magazine B's-Log Comic during the same year. Both the novels and the manga were licensed in English by Yen Press in 2022. It is a fantasy series with a mixture of school life, mystery and friendship/romance.Everyone knows that magic requires chanting to perform - working out the computations needed to properly control a spell in one's head is so difficult as to be impossible. But one person has managed this feat - Monica Everett, the Silent Witch, one of the Seven Great Sages of Ridill. Her mastery of magic is so great that she can cast any spell silently and instantly. Her power is so great that she slew the Black Dragon of Worgan with a single spell, shot the twenty lesser dragons following it out of the sky with a second spell, and then lowered all the bodies to the ground without damaging anything. But despite her great skill and power, virtually nothing is known about her. She is rarely seen outside of missions issued to her by the court, and even then arrives in a hooded robe, performs her duties, and leaves without a word.This combination of skill, power and mystery makes her fellow sages think she's perfect for a task the king wants done - providing a discreet bodyguard to his second son, Prince Felix. She has the power to do the job, her silent casting means that nobody will notice she's doing the job, and since virtually nobody knows what she looks like due to her reclusive nature and hooded robes, nobody will know it's her. She's even young enough to pass as a student of the academy the Prince is studying in.There's just one problem. The reason why Monica does the whole mysterious, silent mage routine is because she's shy. Cripplingly shy. And as far as she's concerned, going back to school is a far more difficult assignment than playing royal bodyguard...

Instant Expert: Monica picks up chess so quickly that the teacher had to invoke advanced rules he hadn't taught her to defeat her the first time she played ever. And is good enough to compete in an inter-school tournament within two weeks.

Secret Test: Suspecting that there's more to Monica than she appears to be, Felix "accidentally" leaves behind the keys to all the student council records behind after he unlocks the bookcase holding the accounting records so she can audit them, to see what she does with them. Monica gets so caught up in the bookkeeping that she doesn't even notice that the keys are there.

comment
Succession Crisis: The king has three sons, by three different women, and nobody's sure which will be king. While the third prince is currently considered a nonentity due to being too young, factions are forming between followers of the first and second princes, with many people seeking Felix ill because they think he'll be in the pocket of his highly unpopular maternal grandfather should he take the throne.

comment
Serious Business: Virtually every unattached girl in Serendia wants to grab Felix, and resent anything that is seen as an obstacle to that, such as the plain nobody who somehow received the Prince's favor and was granted the title of Student Council Accountant (which Felix did because he needed a new accountant and Monica succeeded in auditing the books), never mind that Monica is so socially withdrawn that making the first move in a romance would never occur to her.

False Friend: Monica's first and only friend in her first go-through at school, Bernie Jones, only really used her to prop up his own ego as his own dedicated admirer, and rejected her the first time she surpassed him in class.

Abusive Parents: Monica's father was loving, but the uncle who took her in after his death wasn't so kind. He's largely to blame for Monica's withdrawn nature.

Loves My Alter Ego: Felix is a great admirer of the Silent Witch. But since he's only ever seen her from a distance, he has no idea that she's the timid transfer student he jokingly calls "little squirrel".

Magic Staff: The acceptable length for a magician's staff is a function of their rank. As a Great Sage, Monica's staff is taller than she is.

Writers Cannot Do Math: Monica's favorite nursery rhyme as a little girl was "Old Man Sam's Pigs", a song about the Fibonacci sequence. However, the song gives the opening sequence as 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8..., when the actual sequence is 1, 2, 3, 5, 8...

comment
Mundane Utility: Monica invented silent casting so she could pass her practical magecraft examinations without being hindered by her fear of public speaking. If she doesn't have to speak to cast spells, then her issues with speaking in front of others is irrelevant when demonstrating her magic talents.

High-School Sweethearts
 Secrets of the Silent Witch / int_f81d8982
comment
High-School Sweethearts: Felix is one of the three most eligible bachelors in the country (only rivalled by his brothers), so pretty much every girl in Serendia Academy who isn't already spoken for is angling for an opportunity to become this with the Second Prince and have a chance to become Queen. All of these girls do not appreciate how much attention he pays to the plain, timid, stammering Monica.
