Because I've never met a monster...
*Mid-dart, one of my eyes betrays the faintest presence of an ongoing, red magic circle*
...hiding so many S-class skills.

@Session

Hm?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Casts a set of strong protection spells on myself through the channel in the knife*
If you fail, well, I hope Levy's prepared for this. Prove to me that you're worthy.
*Holds the knife out to my right and closes my eyes, and allows magic to flow freely through its structure like water, first casting a ground-based spell, then darkness, then light, followed by gravity, disenchantment, and search, conducting a duet within an orchestra of spells and surprisingly only sipping at my own mana supply*

@Nimda

*glances and smiles*

<Snipped quote by Path>

*My eyes flick from one part of your body to another*
I mean, you clearly didn't have to. You could've killed us when we met.

@Session

Technically, I could’ve killed you both anytime.
*shifts my focus to you, but my attitude remains unchanged from earlier*
But I didn’t want to then and now, even with the contract, but I have expressed that earlier. So I am confused why you are bringing it up again.

*Flips from a reverse-grip to holding it up in front of me and attempts to gauge how close the knife is to failing*
Is that all you've got?

@Nimda

It’ll take more than you got, but I love the method…

<Snipped quote by Path>

Why are you putting up with so much from us?

@Session

*looks at you*
What are you talking about?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

Mmmm...
*Watches you watching Gio with surprised curiosity written across my face*
Hey Levy.

@Session

Yes?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

More!
*Continues to fuel the magic supply, now clearly having driven more through the blade than my own mana supply would provide*

@Nimda

*another tang is heard and now it is white again and black spots form*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

Let’s see what you can do.
*Channels more magic through the blade to push its limits*

@Nimda

Ooooh!!!
*the blade sparks with an audible tang as if in a response to your words and the heat shrinks to white spots that slowly grow throughout the blade, getting hotter while still having the handle maintain a cool temperature, the space around the blade begins to warp slightly*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Starts channeling a self-heating spell through the blade, along with a heat-isolation spell until it starts to show signs of heat failure or magical stress failure*

@Nimda

*it begins to glow white hot on the blade while the hilt is surprisingly room temperature*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Rubs the edge against a knife made of a hyper-dense metal until all that’s left is shavings, and then drops a hair onto the edge of the blade*

@Nimda

*it seamlessly cuts the hair as it falls on the blade*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Stabs it into the table and bends it to test its stability*

@Nimda

*it goes through the table further than expected and holding sturdy within table*

Myriad Reality

You think he'll pick it?

@Session

I don’t know. But he clearly seems interested in it.
