"Not only are the seven alchemy swords of the 'Seven Deadly Sins' set genuine, but even the containers holding them are embedded with powerful alchemical matrices." The Vice Principal tapped his fingers rhythmically on the tabletop, explaining to Miyamoto Shio, "Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Envy, Pride, and Wrath."
"Before coming here, we already awakened this set of alchemical swords with blood of sufficient purity. Once the 'Seven Deadly Sins' are awakened, the scabbard generates an extremely strong magnetic force that adsorbs all the swords within it. The power required increases tenfold with each subsequent blade; the further down the line you go, the harder it is to draw them." The Vice Principal glanced sideways at Miyamoto Shio. "An 'A'-grade student with an exceptional bloodline at Cassel College struggles immensely just to pull out the third sword, 'Greed'. Yet you wanted to pull out the fourth one, 'Sloth', in one go. If that isn't overestimating your own capabilities, what is?"
Miyamoto Shio's face flushed red as he stood frozen in place. Perhaps he might have had a chance at drawing the first sword, 'Lust', or the second, 'Gluttony', but after being rejected by the 'Seven Deadly Sins', he had no face left to try again. After all, he was in front of Principal Anjou and the Vice Principal, with everyone from the Ganryu Research Institute watching. Miyamoto Shio had no choice but to sheepishly sit back down.
