Not just evaporation with 〜どころか

くノ一ツバキの胸の内 » Volume 1 » Page 85

Sazanka is worried that Tsubaki’s abilities go awry when she hears the word “man”. To test this, Sazanka leads Tsubaki to a puddle of water and challenges her to evaporate it with a fire technique, during which Sazanka will whisper “man” into Tsubaki’s ear. The result is Tsubaki’s ability intensifying in power.

サザンカ:
蒸発(じょうはつ)どころか地面(じめん)(えぐ)れてる…」
"Not just evaporation, even the ground is gouged."
