"...U-Urgh, N-Nerina-sensei, my jaw hurts." I murmur to Nerina-sensei after hours of training.
"Yes, yes, it should hurt after that much effort, but can you do it now?" She asks about the fruits of our training; she had been explaining more about my race and what I can do with magic.
"I-I think so." I use a kerchief made of threads to wipe my lips as I decide to show her the "Bloody Lasso" I created using what she taught me.
"Look!" I point at a tree and skillfully fire a thread. The thread cuts a little deep into my finger, staining itself with blood as it pierces through the tree. However, by manipulating the Hikishin in the blood, it expands into spikes, shredding the tree.
"Congratulations, Evelyn. An efficient method for leaving traces of your Hikishin inside your enemies' bodies, but the amount is small, so it's not very efficient."
