[ Always a but. If she knew Monika was comparing her to Kadoc, she'd agree--despite their vastly different approach to things, they've definitely got some strongly corresponding opinions on things. The difference, she'd argue, is that Kadoc had been explicitly recruited by Chaldea's original Director; for however weak and unremarkable he might think himself, that's still the truth.
But Ritsuka? She'd been nothing but a number, initially. ]
I honestly barely have any magic whatsoever, and most of that is just because I had someone setting up spells that I could just trigger when I needed to. But I was working with actual mages, and they're all pretty stuck up, you know? Like, think of the worst group of mean girls possible, and then multiply that by a thousand.
The only reason I got to do anything is because I was lucky. I'm not saying I didn't manage to pull off a lot, and more than I thought I would, but... that doesn't change how I got started.
