Immediately after Emilia left, the nun in charge of secretary came to the abbess’ office. Although she couldn’t become the star of Tenka religion’s “The Saint”, she was a nun who was responsible for the education of the “Saint Apprentice” at the Serenade monastery.

“Are you sure about that, Abbess?”

“What are you talking about?”

“About Emilia Mercurio.”

“Ah, she already left.”

“Certainly she was an orphan personally picked by the supreme leader of the Tenka religion, the Great Saint-sama right…?”

“That was a story when she was still a Saint right? There’s no way she will still remember just one random orphan.”

The abbess spitted out coldly. The secretary nun who couldn’t say anything else noticed the magical power measuring device on the office desk.

“This is…?”

“Ah, that’s to measure Emilia’s magical power, sure enough the needle was not even moved.”

“But this is… the needle is fully swinging off?”

“Eh?”

The abbes confirm the needle of the magical power measuring device. Certainly the needle stopped at “maximum value”. She misunderstood that she thought the needle wasn’t moving at all because Emilia was a dropout.

“That’s impossible, are you saying her magical power exceeds the limit of the measurement limit?”

“You’re right, I think that’s impossible.”

However, neither the abbess nor the secretary had ever seen such a reaction. The magical power measuring device shouldn’t be broken though.

“We, well we didn’t expel her from the religion. She can always re-enter another monastery and become “Saint Apprentice” again.”

“Ye, yeah, it’s like what you said, abbess.”

“… I will be back to work.”

“Ah, yes, so do I…”

The abbess and the secretary made one decision.
Both of them decided to look away from the fact that they expel apprentice because of instrumental failure and the possibility of by any chance that apprentice had tremendous magical power.
