Satou placed a hand on Kelvin's shoulder. "Then keep training. Keep growing. You're already miles ahead of where you were a week ago. Give it another few weeks, months, another year, and you'll be formidable."
Kelvin nodded, determination clear in his eyes. Then his expression lightened slightly. "Besides, someone needs to keep up with Jessica. She's getting so strong with her healing magic. I can't let my little sister leave me completely in the dust."
"She's only younger than you by a few minutes," came Jessica's voice from behind them. She'd finished with her patients and joined them outside, a playful smile on her face. "And I could still beat you in a fight."
"You're a healer," Kelvin protested. "You shouldn't be fighting at all."
"Holy Maiden magic isn't just for healing," Jessica replied mysteriously. "There are... other aspects to it. Protective magic. Enhancement spells. Even some offensive capabilities for dealing with undead and demons. I've been studying."
