Strong and sensitive

The guild registration lady then took out the same sphere that I had seen before and asked Leana to place her hand on it. The sphere glowed red like usual until it finally turned green

"You are 22 years old. Your strength is 10 and your agility is 8. You have moderate aptitude for strength based profession and moderate aptitude for agility based professions. You have no aptitude for magic"

It seemed even Leana was quite strong. She was older than Turek but younger than Cleo. Her strength was not as high as Cleo but still much higher than mine or Turek's, probably because she had trained and worked as a guard.

"That's pretty good Leana" exclaimed Turek. "You are only 1 year older than me but you are already so strong."

"Ah.. well … umm it's because I have been training since I was young. I think."

I didn't really understand the difference in our strength or Leana's and Cleo's strength since I didn't really have a good way to compare. I started thinking about how to understand the differences when I heard Cleo say

"You are quite strong Leana. I am almost 24 years old and my strength value is only 15. I think you will surpass me very quickly"

"No way! I think you are really strong!" Leana rejected Cleo's words right away.

Me and Turek were too embarrassed to say our values but Leana was looking at us with an expectant face.

Finally Turek couldn't resist the puppy eyes that Leana was showing gave in "I don't really have any strength or agility. My magic value is 5, strength is 2 and agility is 1"

Damn you Turek. Now I have to tell my values as well!

"Uh… I am 17 years old. My strength value is 2, agility is 5 and magic is 1"

Leana didn't seem disappointed in us at all. If anything she seemed impressed.

"You have 5 magic value? That's so amazing? And Ren, you are only 17 but already have 5 agility value? Wow"

I looked at her speechless before looking at Cleo who was looking at Leana with approval. It seemed she liked Leana's attitude. Well I liked her attitude as well.

We left the guild and started walking towards our inn. Leana decided to join us so we could decide on what to do next together. After all we were considering leaving the city to save her!

While walking I looked at Cleo and Leana and thought about how tall both of them were. I have been short my whole life. Most adults and even a lot of kids are taller than me, so I never paid too much attention on how tall everyone was. Since they were all taller than me what was the point? Now I started to look around to see how these 2 compare with normal people.

It was difficult for me to tell how tall everyone was but I it seemed obvious that almost no other women were as tall as Cleo let alone Leana who now was the tallest among us. Maybe it's just my luck that I keep meeting tall women. First Janet and Val, then Cleo, then Tina and now Leana. Sigh… I am still only 17, maybe I will grow a bit taller over the next few years. I tried to console myself but I didn't really have much hope.
