[For once, Annu actually looks surprised. She takes a moment to respond past blinking.]
Nobody's... actually asked me that before.
[It's true. Sure, mostly because she keeps it a secret, but the ones who know all took it in stride. Of course you would, Annu or always thought you'd try or you'd be great at that or are you sure, doesn't that wreck your body? But never why.]
I suppose when I think about it, it was... because I could. Because I've always wanted to learn more. Like I told you, Rui wants to be a painter, Mari's content with lazing around eating candy and writing those stories of hers. I want to learn magic more than anyone. And to me, that extends to the kind of magic that might be dangerous. Someday somebody might need it. I don't know too many others who can, and I'm not going to just walk up and ask my professor why he learned it.
