Yup. Latte has mana but it is extremely rare in that world. Arwin, magicians and the Prince are the only characters who are able to use magic (as far as we know) I am assuming that she has magic because she transmigrated to that world. Since most people can't use magic, the shopkeeper thinks that Latte is a gullible customer like almost all other customers who buy scrolls.
It could be, since she's otherworldy, that she has a lil' extra from beyond (the mana), but that wouldn't help the narrative in any way, it'd be maybe an overlooked detail. And the author really owns her narrative, from the detail to the overall flow of the story (well, I do think the Prince should make an appearance soon or he'll be forgotten).
I still think the word itself is used with a purpose that will be revealed further down the line. Because, as I said, the scrolls' value and utility check out, they do work and they are indeed expensive. But in way is she being fooled?
For a user of magic devoid of mana, a scroll is a perfectly adequate tool. So if you'd call this user names, you'd maybe say ''poor you'' or I don't know, ''mana-lacking money cow''. But not gullible; more so when the author is pretty savvy at her choice in words. But who knows?
It was the mana from the scrolls. It wasn’t actually her own mana.
Ch 12, p. 14. I may stand corrected, Arwin says ''That fellow, she's got A mana?'', so he could simply be referring to the mana infused scroll she'd soon rip apart, dang it.
Yeah, she’s got mana. In the scrolls. Notice how he loses interest in her when he next appears.
(๑•ㅂ•)و✧ I... begrudgingly agree with you
Latte doesn't have mana I've read the novel so I can be sure she dont
At least she has popcorn
True that.
When did the prince use magic? I don’t recall that part.
He didn't. Latte said it. Arwin : Lv 10 magic (my autocorrect was changing Arwin to Arson, lol) Kenneth : Lv 10 swordsmanship and Romdemio : Lv 8 swordsmanship, Lv 7 magic (or vise versa)
I can't remember properly since it was at the beginning of the story.

Ok, remember when Arwin was floating along, minding his own machiavelyness and saw Ibelin and Latte on that alleyway? He noticed Latte's mana. Mana is something that not every character has - the magicians painstakingly imbue scrolls with it, the knight also uses it to freeze enemies of all forms in their places. But that's about it. Also, at the scroll shop, why would Latte be (almost) called ''gullible''? The scrolls work, and it's clear to all they're expensive.
Could it be that she's gifted with some sort of power of her own that, once mastered, would render the scrolls useless?
