Chapter 170: A Can of Worms

"But why?" I protested. "I want to learn it."

«Showing you more will only make you overthink again.» Sensei said with finality, and refused to bring up the topic anymore.

I felt slightly conflicted.

Surely he wasn't really upset at my reaction, right? 

I refused to believe my words had affected him, judging by how much he'd criticized me in the past. Rather, I expected him to counter and throw some criticism back at me. 

However, it seemed Sensei was a big marshmallow, and this made me want to tease him more. 

"If I find anything suspicious, I will ask about it, I promise." I replied. "And you still haven't explained to me why you can use my magic, or how. You can't expect me to ignore your inconsistencies when they have plenty to do with me."

We settled into a deadlock as I waited for my MP that had been expended on the dark blade to gradually refill.
