The Ranger was shouting a lot, and Kosuke wondered if he might be angry. Suddenly, the Ranger took the boy by the collar and shook him, hard. Kosuke slumped back to the ground, dizzy and stunned. He reached down and took the pendant up again in his hand.<br/><br/>"I asked for a reason," he said calmly. "This pendant means I'm a master white mage. I happen to know a little bit about dispelling demons. Speaking of that, you should try to calm down. It seems to me like you're angry. That might mean the demon is already trying to take you over. Perhaps not, but it will only make it easier for it to do so if you don't regain control of yourself."<br/><br/>"Besides," he said, looking down and to the side, his expression growing almost somber. "I won't be effected by a demon's magic, since they can only use dark magic. Only its physical attacks would be able to hurt me. I'm half-way defended already." The boy gave a slight, forced smile, but didn't freely offer an explanation for his supposed immunity to dark magic.
