"Let me show you what I'm talking about."
I put my hand to my neck, and as soon as I did that, James and all the students around prepared to pounce on me, but I didn't care.
I took a necklace off my neck, and the little jewel on the necklace sparkled for a moment, and then the sparkle faded. I felt mana being drawn into my body, and then this mana suddenly burst out, and the students surrounding me were pushed backward by the momentary outflow of mana. I felt my body start to heat up, especially in my ears.
That was it, nothing had happened other than the momentary outburst of mana and James continued to stare at me blankly. Then, when he saw that nothing had happened, a crooked smile appeared on his face.
"Huh, so what? That's it?"
I raised my hand and held out my finger, James was completely focused on it. So I put my finger to my ear.
James's eyes slowly widened, then he jumped up.
"W- what? H- how could it be?!"
