Surprised at my question, Alya hesitated for a moment before shamelessly muttering out.
"a-after that, you want to help?"
Shaking my head and dismissing her worried, I replied.
"You made the attack non-fatal on purpose; it was simply to immobilize me for a bit."
Pulling up my shirt and taking off the corrupted bandage, I pointed at the area of my stomach that it had hit.
If my blood hadn't melted the ice spear, it simply would have hit a couple of ligaments that would have caused me no permanent pain, and it definitely wouldn't have come close to killing me.
In fact, with some healing scrolls, I could have been just fine in a matter of hours.
Of course, now that my blood had melted the ice spear, stopping it early, I would be fine with a couple of healing scrolls and less than an hour.
The only reason the pain had been so drastic at first when I was in the classroom was because of my ability.
