Subaru shakes her head again. "No, I can't do anything like that. It's not in the skills I was trained with. That's more of a support role, I think, and I'm what we called a Forward — a front-line Mage."

I don't think any of Nanoha's parents have the ability, and while all my sisters and my brother have it, and my mom had it..." There is a momentary pause. "Dad is normal, but he is in the Ground Forces, as well."
