I can understand where his motivation comes from...

Think of it like this...

"I cut off a piece of her pinky nail, if I keep training, then next time could be her pinky´s fingertip... and next time, the first digit of her pinky... and next time, her whole pinky... and then her hand...and her forearm...and her whole arm..."

I think Brain has assumed a "Chipping down the mountain piece by piece" approach regarding Shalltear... Since he knows that he doesn´t have to cleave the whole mountain in a single swing, he can keep adding and keep leveling up by expanding his move-set and skill levels until he can actually chop her head off...

And by cutting her pinky, he got evidence that this method might actually work on someone like her.

The question is that if he will be able to survive having cut off her pinky...

(beat)

He should focus on acquiring a "Teleport" spell to his arsenal... that´s a cheap little lifeline against someone like Shalltear.

I wonder if a warrior class can learn magic as well if they really put their mind to it...
