"Uum... I see... I see..." Miss says with somewhat blank expression.
"Awuuu?" So, can I practice the next technique then?!
"Ah, what? What were we talking about?" Miss asks like if she had a blackout.
Muu... Miss certainly became strange during the year I was out.
Tap, tap, tap.
I tap my index finger on the book's cover.
"Ahh! The next technique, right!"
Miss lifts me up and stands up from the chair she was sitting in.
"The next technique is called Elemental Falcon Claw. It may seem just like a pleb technique, but once mastered, it can deliver serious damage even to the toughest Martial artists."
P, pleb?
Miss came up with some weird word again.
"Let me show you." Miss puts me on the ground and walks towards one of the trees in the courtyard.
She closes her eyes, and...
Crack!
There are five finger-sized holes with burning marks on the tree!
Miss moved so fast that I was only able to see the result.
I couldn't see her move at all!
Miss beckons me to go to her.
"Awu?" I ask with tilted head. I'm certain that Miss wants to show me something, but...?
"Look behind the tree." She says.
I walk around the tree.
A huge boulder with five finger-sized holes is right behind the tree!
Did Miss penetrate even the boulder standing five meters behind the tree?!
Just how powerful this p, pleb? technique is?
"Awuuu..." I sigh in amazement.
"No matter how powerful your strike is, you wouldn't be able to penetrate even the boulder innocently standing behind the tree." Miss says.
"It's only possible thanks to the control over my element." She adds.
Only thanks to the element?...
"The more control you have over your element, the stronger the Elemental Falcon Claw will become."
"You need to concentrate your sand to the tip of your fingers. The better your control over the sand will become, the more power you will be able to concentrate into your fingertips." Miss explains.
"Of course, once you obtain new elements, you will need to learn this technique with the new elements again." She adds.
"Awu, awu." I see, I see. I nod strongly.
"The best way to cultivate this technique is to close your eye and imagine your element forming claws on your fingers." Miss explains carefully.
"Awu!"
Close my eye and imagine sand claws forming on my fingers!
"N, No way..." Sophia mutters.
"What the fuc- fluff?!" Miss shouts in bewilderment.
"As expected of my Master!" My mai- Princess Senu says proudly.
"Awu?" What?
What is happening?
I open my eye and look at my left hand.
Five gold, beautiful looking finger claws are formed around my fingers.
"Awuuu!" Miss, I did it!
I hug Miss in excitement.
