"You really pierced your ear?" Rina parted her lips, looking even more excited than Bassena, who technically owned the earring that was placed there.
Instead, Bassena kept staring at his hand and looked as if he was traumatized. Not that things went wrong--in fact, it was done superbly that Zein didn't even feel pain except for the initial sting. Since it was done by pure magic energy, there was no risk of infection, and the wound healed fast. It only stayed red for an hour, and Zein already put on the earring when Radia and Rina came back from the emergency meeting.
Bassena, however, swore to never inflict any harm on Zein's body again, ever. He only pierced the guide's ear, by request, and he was horrified.
The Serpent Lord, who had no qualm smacking other espers in friendly training.
