by Mahito Aobe (Illustrator), Touya (Story)

A MONSTROUS EXPOSURE RISK!

Fia Ruud, youngest of the Ruud family of knights, was easily the least talented swordsperson of her generation -- at least, until her past powers as a great saint returned! However, her newly gained aptitude at both magic and swordplay were not without their price. In order to prevent the tragedy of her last life from reoccurring, Fia must keep her identity as a saint under wraps! Unfortunately for her, a learning expedition with the Fourth Monster Tamer Brigade goes awry, and her power's at risk for all to see!

Glad the guys aren’t adult love interests for the 15 year old MC h. More like older brothers or uncles. Not sure how her secret is still a secret. She’s kind of a moron, but a sweet and cheerful one. Her dragon familiar is the absolute sweetest.

4, so far the MC h’s sweetness is balancing out her idiotic behavior, stars.

I am really enjoying these. I feel like all the knights and commanders are more like big brothers than love interests which is a nice change and I hope it stays like that. I am also really enjoying getting to know more about the world and can't wait until it opens up a bit more.

I adore the dragon.

Continuing the fun trend, Fia completely misses the point. It flies by her so often her familiar, Zavilia seems at a loss how to deal with it so he just...sleeps. A lot.

Well, Fia definitely has some eyes on her at this point, though if anything they mostly seem to be intrigued by her and otherwise friendly. It is certainly a bit of an odd placement to be in when they're asking her about taking charge in the field as a new trainee. Of course sharing memories of her past life would be risky and most likely unbelievable, so the field guide is a good idea, if also somewhat of a tenuous leg to stand on. We see more of Fia's saint powers here too, and gain some insight into the healing potions as well as how monsters and familiars function. Zavilia is rather impressive and maybe a bit of a saint himself putting up with Fia's crazy costume scheme so he can stay by her side in the castle at least for a little while. Fia also seems to be finding some friends, which is a good sign, though some might start wondering just how or why she knows so much about saint magic. Who is this that's after the black dragon though, and will the spell trouble if or when someone realizes what Zavilia really is.

Never a boring moment

I'm a big fan of the light novels. I like the fact that they've made the main character FIA a little smarter in the manga than she is in the light novel. They made the choice to keep her naivety mostly limited to when she's drunk. She still has her moments, but they're not as painful as they are in the light novels. I really enjoy the light novels so revisiting them in this format is a delight! I hope they do an anime... That would be great!

Really funny

Fia is fun and ridiculous. I have read the manga then sped off to find the light novel just to continue the hilarity of this story. I’m really looking forward to more.

Cute, but light novel better

This is really cute, but the light novel is so much better! I couldn’t stop laughing. Read both to get the most of the story.

Enjoyed the new bits of backstory and Fia's abilities.

I like Zavilia.

7/24 I am really enjoying how the story is evolving. So glad I have the next volume on hand!

[Aurora · Rating 4 out of 5]

The premise of this one is a bit overly complicated, but I am enjoying it (especially when she’s disdainful of what has happened to saints in her absence, haha).

[Sheepy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Alot of attention is falling on Fia!

Love it, picked it up in half price and it was totally appropriate and interesting. And omg i'm so invested when light novel 8 came out in English i had it preordered it so fast like 5 months ahead.
