Hey hey, I just wanted to give y'all a big thanks for 50k reads! It really means a lot to me, and I love when people appreciate my work :)
Anyway, I won't bother you with hour-long speeches, so let's get into the chapter...

"Show me that new spell of yours." 

Uh, if only I knew how to do it precisely.

"It happened when I raised my hand…" 

I raise my hand, and four of those magic blades pop up, floating above the palm of my hand. I extend my arm towards Narberal and she narrows her eyes, crossing her arms. 

"Yes, those do indeed contain silver in molecular form, even if I have no idea how…you seem to have a lot of resources against things of your own kind. A sword enchanted against vampires, a spell that shoots silver knives…you wouldn't have any trouble killing yourself. Either way, you need to learn to control this, to not let more accidents happen. Can you make them disappear?" 

I shrug and shake my head, thinking about how to make my spell go away.

"What if I try closing my fist?" I suggest, taking a look at the knives. 

"It's worth a shot, I guess." 

I try closing my hand, and surprisingly enough the knives disappear. 

Well, that was easy. 

I open my hand again, and the knives are gone, fortunately. 

"That was…surprisingly easy." I point out looking at Narberal for approval.

Narberal is quite the interesting person, I must say. I really admire her. I'm not saying she could be my friend, because I don't think she's the person to have friends, but I'd like to have a good relationship with her. I am really intrigued by all of the Pleiades, to be honest. They're all interesting, and each of them has a different kind of…beauty. Solution is just very beautiful on her own, maybe even more than the Kingdom's princess, Lady Renner. Yuri has a more serious and elegant look to her, while Lupusregina is the opposite. Her darker skin and yellow eyes give her a particular and attractive look, more on the casual and exotic side. CZ is…short and cute. Kinda. Entoma...well, her face mask is kinda cute, and she's dressed nicely. She's still a bit scary to me though. Narberal is tall and imposing, her fair skin and almond eyes give her a very interesting look. The pony tail is really good on her too, but she'd look even better with a smile. 

"Hello? Are you there?" 

Ah, I got my head in the clouds, dammit. 

"Y-yes, sorry, I'm here, Lady Narberal. I was just lost in my thoughts." 

"I prefer you addressing me by my name. It saves time, and I don't think there is the need for useless formalities. Let's just call each other by name." 

Alright, I'm down for that. 

"As you wish. So, going back to the spell…I think I just need to learn how to control it, nothing more." 

I summon a few more knives and I take a look at them. They're very bright, and I must admit they look very cool.

"Maybe. But your magical training won't just be about this. You should first learn some basic spells, such as Fly or Reinforce Armor. Did you have any talents?" 

I don't think I have any talents...I mean, I've never actually gotten examined by anybody competent enough to know, but I still think I don't possess any.

I shake my head, feeling a little guilty, and miserable.

That's why I didn't choose to become an adventurer.
