Aina took out what looked like a polished jade. It was completely flat and it had an oval shape to it. From some angles, it looked quite milky as the light reflected off of it, at others it looked like a pearly white, and at others it gave off the subtlest pale jade color.

Aina smiled and tossed the technique at him. He unceremoniously took a look at it as well, but unlike Aina, it only took him a few minutes to go through all of it.

When he pulled his mind out, he too had a frown on his face.
