"Usually Knights work alone, maybe with a Priest for support," I tell him absently. "Either one takes years of training."

This is probably a unique situation. Parallel universes do exist, but it's extremely rare to run into one. Starting up the Knights and Priests here, if they don't exist, might be something I spend the rest of my life doing. I'm going to miss a lot more than Kaoru-san and Kouga-san's wedding.

I try to remember back to when I was trained, as a child. I'd been sent at the same time as Sigma, though we ended up in different groups. I wasn't thrilled about it, because I'd decided to be a Priest at that point, but I'd gone anyway. To be there for Sigma.

"I'd have to see if I have counterparts here." I kind of doubt it, if this is new. But these people wouldn't know a Makai user unless they showed up, brush or sword in hand.
