Boras watched me in wide-eyed amazement, like I had done another trick. This time, he was completely and utterly shocked.

He tried opening his mouth, but no words came out until... "Pfft—! Hah—hahahaha! I just can't, my lady; you're just full of surprises. To think you have magical powers, and—and this amount is vastly more powerful than your brother's."

Clutching his stomach, laughing, "Now I can't leave things here, screw it, I must see this new side of you, my lady."

So that's what this is. Strangely, this is magic, something I'd always wanted, but it doesn't explain the glowing blue marks covering my body, which look like marks from kaijus in my past life. However, none of this matters because, smiling with the biggest smile I could muster, I said, "I'm going to kill you, Boras; you will die."

"Then shall we begin?"

With that, I move first. Strength filled my legs, which felt all too familiar, and I jumped into the air. In only one big leap, I lunged at Boras, swinging my sword as hard as I could, and he was instantly sent several meters back.

He didn't expect that, and I pressed forward and swung again, sending him back like a baseball.

My newfound... No, old strength was somewhat back, and it was fun being able to do something like this.

With Clare's support, I don't get the same rush I would get with Ori energy coursing through my body, but this is something similar.

"Aha–ahaha–HAHAHA! . Oh, Boras, I know you could do better than this."

The black sparks of electricity began to spark even more around my body, and I was about to try something. I flow mana or Ori energy or something else entirely, since I don't know what this was, through Athrun's sword.

The silvery metallic Mythril sword suddenly turned black from the base of the hilt, and sparks of my black electricity coursed through the blade.

Huh... the conductivity of Athrun's sword is much better than the massive sword of my Aias in my past life.

Realizing that and being careful not to put too much of whatever powers I have into it so it doesn't break just in case, I smile even more and swing at Boras.

Seeing that, Boras immediately put up a barrier made out of wind and guarded it with his sword.

"How interesting, my lady; it looks like you've mastered your magical power with such control, especially with the nature of your magic just after awakening it. Such talent! I am beyond overjoyed that my lady is capable of this much."

Nature of my magic, hearing that I remember something about that back when I lived with my family in this life. The nature of a person's mana is like a trait where they have unique abilities; granted, it's rare among mages. An example being with Sarah, who was an obvious one, if not two, with her light magic having a healing and support nature.

"Heh–heh, oh really? Then die right here."

I once again lunge at Boras, hitting his barrier and completely neutralizing it as my black electricity absorbs his mana, which I'd guess was considered energy.

I swung past the barrier with the intent to kill him because what other thing is funnier than that?

Boras reflexively took a step back and used his wind magic to leap back, high into the air. He was about to escape, but the mana absorbed from his barrier and the mana from the monster cores I've absorbed, a giant arch of black electricity extended out of Athrun's sword.

Like a fly being swatted, my electricity swatted Boras out of the air.

Seeing him electrocuted, I chuckled a bit because I made it so that it would not be enough to kill him. I knew from intuition and instinct he was way stronger than that. I'm just giving him a warning to start taking this seriously.
