SERIE - IT'S ALWAYS PERSONAL

"Mages spend their lives in pursuit of magic. Name it. I shall grant it."

Even though she says that spells to conjure flowers are pointless, she casts them to recall a praised student.

The belief that the use of magic is only valid in battle yet she never really fights as of late, choosing to collect spells instead.

It's jealousy. Plus an intense belief in individualism.

It was only after the Hero Party defeated the demon king through cooperation that Serie founded the Continental Magic Association and not before - an act that showed how Serie finally acknow
