His power is his friendly approachable demeanour.

Oooh dear... Friedrich knows something's up, doesn't he? Is he an Esper, or maybe something else? Something even more intrusive? Has he already seen Ciel? These plot chickens are juicy and amazing.

Also nice/interesting to see that Noel warned the other Haven kids about Noah.

also masking !

Warnings hrmm... but of what? If we feel like being honest, Windows 'Dead Kid' Radar isn't someone you really want to mess with given the nature and strength of his power. I mean, one wish could make any of these students utterly powerless, given what happend to Chernyl. Or at least, it could if he wasn't being a complete Felix about it.

At the very least, the warning should stop, or at least, discourage the Malbrats from starting any trouble with him.

Lol Noah about to be bullied for not having a power

Poor Noah, his plan to pretend he has no power is falling apart.

@noname : or Friedrich is just shocked that someone without power would be in his elite class...

I assume they are speaking out loud? Noel is probably going to be kicking himself over the loose lips of his friends...

Did Noel warn them that Noah will need help surviving, or did Noel warn them pertaining to Noah's capabilities?

Friedrich says his eyes are superior to anyone, so he probably has some kind of "Look at someone and see hints at their powers" kind of thing going on.

So I wouldn't doubt it that he already suspects Noah of having a weird power.

Noah's got a reputation.

What exactly did Noel say ? Without Noah, everybody in Haven would be dead and the nigthmares will still be there.
Noel surely knows that it wasn't Nail and the black crystal who saved the city...

@Strannik - I don't think he'll be too surprised. You don't need a flashy power to be a good spy. All you need is to be really good at the basics.

@noname
Maybe. He did say his eyes are superior so maybe he can see something that tells him Noah is more than just spirit observation.

On the other hand its also possible that as a member of a noble family he has access to some inside info on everyone in the class and some of the more odd occurrences around Noah have been documented.

On the other hand....*quickly hides the third hand*....its also possible he believes that only people with something special can be in the class.

Interestingly enough Noah may be drawing more attention to himself by saying "no special power" instead of just not answering. Most people are going to assume he's hiding something, which he is, and will start looking for it.

Friedrich has the best eyes in the world. Of course he can see Ciel, or at least see that Noah has *something*.

My money is that Friedrich is just being power elitist, but his reference to his eyes means there's a real possibility of him being an esper; the Empire doesn't quite seem aware that they're distinct from magic users, so if so Friedrich is, he probably thinks it's a pandemonium power.

Yet more "barets".

@noname : Friedrich said he has a special sight: maybe he can see magic aura or similar?

He knows "baret" is the wrong spelling but at this point he can't back down.

@Baret comments

I am aware of the typos but I'm in an incredibly busy period for my day job as a teacher so can't go around and fixing every single mistake in the entire buffer atm.

I'll fix every typo at once when more time frees up.

The page got me thinking, and so did the comments. Just recently read the last Noel to Noah conversation.

The Friedrich-esper situation. It would be surprising if it is only that, Noel is an esper and got assigned to a different class. I presume the empire is somewhat lacking on "magic culture" so they think Noel has a power, and Fried, here just used another esper aspect. My thoughts about him went more like Goldman's power he can assess the magic power of individuals, and Noah's high enough to not be a "magic potential".

On the Malhart kids Noel and Noah. I think we should trust Noel's word, Noah saved many lives. Noel's allegiances are towards his family, I'd expect. The first Noel-Noah interaction was basically warning Noah about the danger Ciel poses, I'd find it reasonable he confided his family about it back then, so yeah, Noah could be a potential danger. They both are interested in keeping his power a secret. He's worried, he told his family.
They also know they were found, and that would mean overcoming Malhart's magic defenses and "obfuscation". Which is quite a feat and a mark on Noah's back.
It is... weird, Noah was found "potential" back in Gloria, so it is expected of him to keep up endorsing that story. But now eyes are on him.

One thing I gather from Minori's arc is that Noah can't really just strip someone's power out, the power grants a "magic related wish" for him and his "host". I understand Cheryl *wanted* to get rid of her power, gilt and all, I doubt anyone here would agree to such a wish, and Noah's can only alter his own magic, so to say.

Hate to break it to you, Freddy, but some people get by on raw talent, no gimmicks or family required ;p

That scar of Windows, making him smile all the time... could that be the path joy and laughter, right there? Salvation ahoy?
