Couple things

this conversation made me realize, probably no one in this world has a [Technician] class, and it sounds invaluable in so many ways I can’t even comprehend.

AND, it took me a second, I had to go back to this chapter, but the random call was ABSOLUTELY indicative of Kent Scott being able to replicate the magic… He eventually took over it and summoned a call no one answered to, this also means Ryoka was probably the last transmigrator (at least last one with a phone) given that only she answered

and lastly, Ryoka had the right idea using japanese to text, but with that same idea and using what she knows, having that hidden ace up her sleeve, her being untrackable because of her name’s native language… Like she already established that was why that random mage couldn’t track her, so despite her efforts of speaking in japanese, it’s useless if you literally make your username your real name…

NEVERMIND, that’s chinese not kanji?

Yeah. Fantastically clever.

I have to ask: Is [strider_479]’s name a reference to Yvonne Strahovski’s character in Chuck?

I think the idea is that batman used a translator app. I don’t think they know Hindi.

He announced when he noticed with the this is a total trap yo, who would be cock enough to face the king of destruction other than a mage on an island of mages, probably one of the headmasters or something

Yeah, I’m imagining a husk of a king and a wizard in big robes texting each other like old men trying to be all threatening but are just hunched over the phone

He noticed Kent was asking weird questions without providing his own info, who asks? What are your first and last name

I’m assuming volume 3 is when these characters became active in the first book

If you look, after the politics, all the “trolling” other than the crazy religious dude is batman trying to stop Kent from getting info
