"Wait, you're really my sister?" Kenta asks, shocked.

"Yes..." replied Hina and looked away.

"Ralf, could you leave Kenta and me alone for a moment?" Hina said as she turned to Ralf.

"Of course," said Ralf.

Ralf went into the dojo and Hina pulled Kenta by the arm to a bench not very far from where they were standing.

"I had to leave you and mom when you were a baby," Hina said as she looked Kenta in the eye.

"But why?" Kenta asked, confused.

"I already knew at the age of seven what powers you had, Kenta. Ralf Ralf gave me the confirmation." answered Hina.

"Mordred wanted to kidnap me at first because he thought I was the successor to Hephaestus... but it was you. He wanted to capture you when you were a baby."

"Ralf took me under his wing so that when I came back I could protect mom and you...but apparently you're quite good at it yourself now. Seth and Seda? Wow! You're definitely my brother." she said at the end with a grin.

"Ralf and I will train you. You're the only one who can stop Mordred. Zeus' successor is far too old and can no longer fight him."

"Wait, I can...absorb his powers..." Kenta said hesitantly.

"You can what?! Absorb forces?! How?!" asked Hina in shock.

"If I defeat an opponent and lose an ally, I can absorb their powers...I did that with Seth and Suzume..." said Kenta.

"Any god can do that. Or it's an exception with Mordred and me."

"But I wouldn't talk about it any more than that, the last time really hit me hard," said Kenta.

"I think it's nice to know that I have a sister and that she's still alive, but if only you had been here sooner..." Kenta said as he stood up and walked away.

Hina remained silent and decided not to make any comments that could hurt him even more.

Later, Kenta also joined Ralf.

"Why did you bring Hina to you, Ralf?" asks Kenta.

"She is a talented girl, a young successor of Hephaestus. She may not have the talent you were born with, but she definitely has the talent to become very strong. That's why I took her under my wing to train her myself. Just like you now," answers Ralf.

"But you took my sister away from me! All the time we could have had...you took it away from us." Kenta says angrily.

"I can understand your anger and disappointment, young Kenta. But you must understand that we need all the help we can get to defeat Mordred," Ralf replies.

"I'll leave it at that. When does my training start?" asks Kenta.

"It depends on you. If you still want to recover, we can start tomorrow or we can start today," says Ralf.

"Then let's get started. Mordred doesn't take any time to recover," says Kenta.

"As you wish," replies Ralf.

Kenta and Ralf go to the training room. It was on the left side of the house. Ralf Ralf has taken Hina to the training room to decide on a difference in strength.

"Since you're both siblings, I'd like to see the difference in strength between the two of you. Who knows, maybe your little brother is already stronger than you Hina, even without my help," says Ralf.

"Understood." Hina replies and gets ready.

Both took a wooden katana to avoid injury.

"Don't think I'm going to go easy on you, little brother," said Hina.

"I wasn't planning to do that either, sister," said Kenta.
