Elisabeth:  “How else to go about teaching you, I wonder?” Having already tried out a number of different explanations, Elisabeth tapped a finger against her forehead.

Elisabeth:  Thin beads of smoke were coming up from Kaito’s head. Elisabeth frowned as she gazed at his sorry demeanor. “The problem seems to lie in the fact that thermoregulation magic doesn’t use pain as its fulcrum. To you, that makes the sensation comparatively hard to grasp. Even so, though, I’m at something of a loss as to how else to explain it.”

Kaito:  “D-d-don’t give up now; you’ve g-g-got my life in your hands.”

Elisabeth:  “Worry not. I’ve all but dropped it already.”

Kaito:  “H-h-how the hell’s that s-s-supposed to make me feel better?”

?:  “It’s okay, Master Kaito! Even if you can’t move anymore, I will make sure to dutifully carry you!”

Elisabeth:  “Hmm, transporting cargo under our present circumstances seems rather hazardous. Blast it, though! How can it be that a man who birthed a sword on his own strength has so impoverished an imagination?! One. More. Time. First, you—”

Vlad:  “May I, my precious daughter?”

Elisabeth:  “I’m sorry, does the charcoal briquette with delusions of grandeur have something to say?”

Vlad:  “Ha-ha-ha, as rebellious as always. Worry not, though; I’m a forgiving man.” Vlad’s interruption was met with Elisabeth’s unconcealed scorn. However, he just laughed off her snide comment. He found his face riddled with stakes in reply, but he carried on undiscouraged. "The reason your teachings are so ineffective is because they’re designed with a sane pupil in mind. If you want to teach him, then you’d best rethink your methods from the ground up… Now then, my dear successor, I want you to release fire and ice within your body at the same time. Don’t try to grasp the sensations. Actually release them. And put enough strength into both of them to kill yourself.”

Elisabeth:  “Wait, Vlad, are you mad? I mean, I’m well aware that you’re mad, but that’s—”

Vlad:  “Each one will offset the other. But of the two, your talent with fire is greater, and the difference should be precisely enough to warm your body.”

Kaito:  Kaito followed Vlad’s instructions and closed his eyes. He focused his mind, then tried burning up and freezing his innards. His mana immediately started flowing freely, as though all the lack of response up until then was but a distant memory. Oh man, this is way nicer. The two contradictory energies were clashing within Kaito’s body. It wasn’t without a degree of pain, but neither was able to fully take form without being quashed by the other. At the end, the only lasting effect was his body temperature successfully rising. Kaito slowly opened his eyes. He then turned to Vlad, who was beaming triumphantly, and nodded.

Kaito:  “Yeah, the cold’s manageable now. Thanks, Vlad.”

Elisabeth:  “Y-you little… Do something about that irreconcilably twisted nature of yoooooours!” Elisabeth evoked the image of a cat with its hairs standing on end as she screamed. As she did, she leveled a splendid roundhouse kick at Kaito’s back.
