"Let's start by doing something about your cold," Leo remarked, observing my shivering form. 

Despite my discomfort, I stretched out my hand towards him, a hopeful smile on my face and a greedy glint in my eyes.

Leo looked at me, perplexed. "What are you doing?"

"Um, aren't you going to give me your jacket?" I asked, slightly puzzled.

Leo's expression turned stern as he crossed his arms over his body. "Stop eyeing my jacket!"

"...Tsk!" I clicked my tongue in annoyance, regretting my assumption.

Leo's gaze intensified as he narrowed his eyes. "Did you just click your tongue at me?"

A cold sweat formed on my forehead as I quickly averted my gaze. "N-No, it must have been something else."

"...Anyway," Leo began, changing the topic while still looking at me suspiciously. "Do you have any knowledge of Sword Qi?"

"It's a technique where you infuse your weapon with mana, right?" I asked.
