No sooner has Rozemyne’s fourth year at the Royal Academy begun than she ends up somewhere unexpected. How will the saint respond when an incident in Ahrensbach leaves everyone else feeling defeated?
I just belatedly realized something: Rozemye has been forcefully grown to look her actual age… but her actual age is one year older than what noble society believes her to be. So from other people’s perspective she didn’t just catch up to where she should have been, but like she’s actually unusually well developed for “her age” now.
I bet she’s going to turn quite a few heads now, with her the boys of her grade. ^^
She should also be very careful with how much she tells the Royal Family. If they learn the full truth either they, or Raublut, might take it upon themselves to kill Ferdinand and either trick or force her into absorbing his feystone.
That being said, I am a bit confused how the Wisdom of Mestionora can be split in two. We know for a fact that in the past multiple people could hold a Grutrissheit of their own, at the same time. After all that’s how Tollkühnheit was able to create Lanzenave in the first place, while his brother ruled over Yurgenschmidt. Is it because the gods aren’t capable of telling Ferdinand and Rozemyne apart, or is it because Ferdinand pissed them off so much with his behaviour ten years ago, that they’d rather see him dead, than give Rozemyne the remaining parts of the bible themselves?
I wonder if Ferdinand forcibly severed the connection with the gods somehow after he received only the information he wanted (which would be in line with him wanting knowledge but not wanting to supplant the Zent) or if he didn’t offer enough mana for Erwärmen to maintain his form for long enough for all of the Book of Mestionora to be transferred. It’s possible that if he entered the proper way then he would have had to give Erwärmen the requisite amount of mana for the full transfer, but by entering through a different method he bypassed that requirement.
Erwärmen said that Ferdinand rejected the knowledge, so I don’t think it was a lack of mana that stopped the memory transfer partway through. And with how quickly and jumbled everything went through Rozemyne’s mind, I find it hard to believe he would be able to know that the knowledge he looked for has already been transfered.
I think it’s more likely that his curiosity just got the better of him and he barged into the place, without knowing what that would mean initially. And when he realized that he was well on his way to become the next Zent, he forecfully severed the connection, stopping the process cold. Remember that at the time Ferdinand was name-sworn to his father and had given the promise to always serve him and Ehrenfest first and foremost. If he had obtained the full Grutrissheit, that might well have been a breach of that promise and outright killed him on the spot. In light of that, I can easily see how even the mad scientist himself would block himself off from all the juicy knowledge.

That’s a good point.
