Elric refused to blink. The dagger left his hand and flew blade forward toward the target. He connected with the wood towards the outside of his target, planting the blade into the wood and causing the dagger to come to a stop. He had done it, he had done it on purpose! Yes, Elric had finally been able to throw a knife somewhere on purpose and it actually hit like it was supposed to.
"Yes, yes yes," he said to himself as he walked over to the box and pulled from it his dagger. "Yes."
Then he hurried back to his position and repeated what he had done before, facing his chest north and holding the knife just in front of it. With an outstretched arm and fingers, he flung the dagger towards the target. With a quick thud it struck his target once more, this time closer to middle. Elric celebrated inside.
The technique didn't seem as gentle as the other, but it was effective none the less. He could fling the blade from his palm, which was quite a stealthy throw, but it took a lot of arm movement and force. Also, Elric knew he couldn't throw it but so far with this technique. Again, he wasn't concerned, after all this brightening he had finally done what he was starting to think would never happen. He had been victorious. It was time to practice some more.
