ont need to blame Jared.
He- Anabelle, my mother protested in my defense, struggling to get close to us.
Thats right I dont deserve any blame for this.
It was an accident, an unforeseen error.
Besides, it wasnt like anyone got hurt.
Anabelle, I wont let this slide.
He needs to learn the repercussions of his actions.
What he did is unacceptable! Alphonse spoke back to my mother.
It was the first time I had seen him respond so daringly to her.
No, it was the first time I saw him so serious at all.
Whats his deal? Even after I worked my butt off to reach this level and won our bet, even after displaying such amazing magic why was he treating me like this?
My look intensified as I glared at him.
He was my tutor and all, but that didnt give him the right to say such harsh words to me and my mother.
It was only a little accident, and-
Will you shut it, boy! That little accident has sent your mother into a state of mana shock! Alphonse glared at me, clenching his fists as though restraining himself from hitting me again.
M-mana shock?! I repeated, confused about what he said.
Mana shock is a condition within a person caused by the sudden use of a vast amount of mana from ones core.
To prevent shock, spells are needed In order to ensure smooth a transitioning of the Mana flow.
However, if a person tries to bypass the spells process or overtask themselves in a short period, they experience mana shock.
My eyes darted to my mother.
She did appear pale and weak, but I had only assumed that it was due to her worry for me.
All through my years, she was always a worrywart, so I had chalked this down to the same issue.
Dont you know the consequence of that? Depending on the level of the shock, a Mana Shock could lead to Weakness and a state of unconsciousness in worse cases, death!
Of course, I knew of this.
However to think my mom was going through that currently, yet she was still standing here, worrying about me.
Inconceivable!
N-no, youre wrong! Why would she even be under Mana Shock in the first place? I said with a quivering tone.
Are you retarded? That spell just now, I dont know what you did, but if she hadnt acted quickly and used [Safe Haven] to contain it, you would have been caught up in it! Alphonse said, drawing closer to me with an intimidating aura.
Okay, I messed up more than expected.
