Insecurities

The figure of Rias which wasn't at all as one would expect from a teen – tall, firm and strangely assertive – moved with a sort of rigidness that unsettled most.

As Rearren had alluded to, the Houses were very secretive, mostly stuck in the tradition that they only had to show when things went wrong.

As such, nothing much was known about the Houses. Perhaps some minor details about their techniques and some of their customs which had been documented in history books but those questionable and insufficient bursts of detail left much to be desired.

The name of the EverSword House technique was known though.

The Imagining Technique.

Very few knew how it worked but everyone would imagine it transcended all the crazy stuff the Families could pull off.
