"Why did you teach him how to use the fireball spell?!" Mom bellows as she appears in front of us.
"I... I didn't teach him any spell. I was also shocked when I saw him cast a fireball spell," Anya replies, staring at the ground.
I simply facepalm in exasperation.
"Mom, she didn't teach me. Besides, she almost got injured! You should scold me instead!" I say, grabbing her shoulders.
"Huh... I think you're missing the point here. There's no way that fireball would injure Anya. She's obviously faking it," Mom says, looking at me as if I'm naive.
"Anya..." I mutter, glancing at her.
