The shock of just how strong Fai must be might be a shock to Kurogane in the moment, just as Fai is battling with the idea that he essentially just sent Ashura a personalised email with his current address.
And here is Fai, in the magic vault, of the magic library, in magic country, with the strongest defensive spells they have - and Fai breaks it with a whistle.
They establish earlier in the arc that you need a much stronger power than a spell in order to break it. He would never see it that way, it’s tainted his entire life, and he’s been avoiding it since the start of the manga, but to us it’s just as beautiful as he is on the inside (which he also would never see).Īnd despite it all, this is him choosing to use his magic to save his family, which flies in the face of his original goal and works against him, since it proves him a liar in the process. The arc builds this up deliberately too, with constant mentions from Fai of how he can’t do magic the entire time, only for him to be forced to expose himself right at the very end.īut I LOVE that Fai’s magic is a thing of beauty.
