Ezrahl quietly responded, "It was not the spell."

"Oh hell, this was a bad idea," Noah grumbled and collapsed on the floor, whining, "I wanted to show off this new algorithm I was working on but it took all my energy!"
Aesther let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She laughed and gestured for him to come over, "The Sage Path is certainly cool, isn't it?"
