Training Under Protective Wings

Touma

I keep running into stronger opponents every mission.

Touma

My right hand alone isn't enough anymore.

Index

Touma, you already get hurt so much!

Index

Learning more fighting will just make you take bigger risks!

Kaori

(Teaching combat to someone without magical enhancement... it could be dangerous.)

Touma

I can't keep being the weak link!

Touma

What if I can't protect you next time, Index?

Kaori

Combat training without proper magical foundation is reckless.

Kaori

You could seriously injure yourself.

Index

Then I'll supervise every training session!

Index

I know 103,000 grimoires - including healing magic theory!

Kaori

Fine. But we start with basic footwork and defensive techniques only.

Kaori

And if Index says stop, we stop immediately.

Touma

Thank you both!

Touma

(With their help, maybe I can finally become strong enough to protect everyone.)

Touma

Index!

Touma

(I'm too far away to reach her in time!)

Kaori

( I can't get there fast enough...)

Index

I won't just sit here helplessly anymore!

Index

(All those dangerous situations with Touma taught me something after all.)

Touma

Index... that was incredible reflexes!

Touma

When did you learn to move like that?

Index

I've been watching you fight all this time, Touma!

Index

I may not have magic, but I'm not completely helpless either!

Kaori

Perhaps I underestimated you, Index.

Kaori

Maybe you should join our training sessions as more than just a supervisor.
