"Grace, get serious, or I swear I'll force you to. It's frustrating hearing you say you're taking this seriously when you clearly aren't," Eve says to me, loading magic into the blade of her sword, a weapon that truly is quite durable.
"Eve, I don't think that's a good idea, especially with Marie and that girl here," I say to Eve, who's way too worked up, but that only makes her furrow her brows like I'm being ridiculous.
"They're fine. How am I supposed to test my strength... I mean, how am I supposed to teach Shizuka properly if you don't take me seriously?" She lets her real motives slip, and I just sigh.
"Okay, okay, you win. I'll take this more seriously, then, but don't complain if I hurt you." Either way, if I don't take it seriously, I'm the one who's going to get hurt. Eve's no longer someone I can go easy on and walk away unscathed.
