The OP has a shot of a burning book titled Decoding Magical Properties from Genetic Traits, so presumably something related to genetics that pissed a noble off.

In many fantasy settings, nobles horde the secrets of magic and pretend to be of a higher genetic pedigree due to their magical abilities. In such a world, science that shows the relationship between genetics and magic potential would be the highest heresy against the noble class.

In short, some noble was about to be exposed due to cheating / faking blood relation / other schemes and then went ''nah fuck that research''?

The system is built that magic/mana is only for nobility. Maybe, Monica's father published a paper that genetics has no business with magic, and magic can be learned via mathematical formulas.

I know that setting is pretty common, but was that how it worked in this series? Monica managed to learn about magic at the Minerva Academy as a commoner before, where she developed the chantless casting. She’s only started disguising herself as a noble for this guard mission. It’s her current academy that’s exclusively for nobles.
