Unifates

Max is the leader of the dungeon raid as a B rank mage he is the most capable, following closely behind him is Terra a C rank. She's not as strong but her determined attitude allows her to keep up. 

Ray who is a c rank also is not a combatant focusing mostly on support. And Emma an F rank she's just a collector. 

Terra pats Kaito on his back. "Don't worry about getting hurt little buddy, i'll keep you safe." She says, reassuring him.

Kaito smiles back. "Don't worry about me, i'm ready for anything." He confidently states. Max pats Kaito's shoulder. "This will be a good opportunity for you to gain some experience as a mage." He tells Kaito. 

"I will be able to defend you so try not to worry." Ray innocently tells him. Kaito laughs. "You guys don't have to worry about protecting me." He tells them, his confidence beaming.

Even though they were all technically stronger then Kaito, he believed himself capable of handling anything that came his way. After all he had trained for things likes this, so he wasn't afraid.

"Alright with introductions over, let's head out, if we complete this dungeon quick enough we can be out before nightfall." Max tells the crew and the follow him. 

Kaito happily follows behind them since he's never actually seen a dungeon. He was extremely excited. 

As they're walking max pulls out a stack of paper. "Kaito, we should brief you on our strengths, so we can properly strategize." Max tells Kaito. 

"I myself posses, creation, wind, and metal magic." Max says demonstrating the three. 

"Terra has portal storage and blade manipulation, and has a sacred arte called beastial resonance." He says and Kaito is confused. 

"What's a sacred arte?" Kaito asks.

Artes are another form of power that can enhance one's potential, and can call forth special abilities. The artes are divided into categories, but for simplicity sake, they are all called sacred artes. 

The categories are as followed, battle artes, imperial artes, and support artes. They are classed from F to S respectively.

Terra waves away the long explanation. "Basically they're used to push yourself past what you can already do, and make you even stronger." She explains and Kaito seems interested. 

"How do you get them?" Kaito asks. Terra smacks his arm. "Best way to snatch them is from dungeons, or you could buy them from martial hall's but those things are expensive." Terra explains.

Max clears his throat. "Ray here has barrier magic, and defensive enhancement, he's our means for defense if it's ever necessary." Max explains and Ray awkwardly bows. "And of course Emma, who is our collection, she picks up anything that can be used as profit." He explains. 

Terra points to Kaito while chewing on jerky. "Now you're turn, what can you do?" She asks, holding the half eaten jerky in his face.

"I use fir-" he quickly cuts himself off, because for whatever reason he actually isn't a fire mage anymore. "I use dirt magic!" Kaito says. 

Terra nods slowly. "That's kinda lame." She coldly says.

Max nods. "Agreed, but he shouldn't have to worry anyways, for now let's just get to the dungeon." Max says, slightly regretting his decision to bring Kaito along. 

They begin walking today and Kaito listens to the conversation between Terra and Max. "Todays the day that I finally become stronger then you!" Terra shouts at him. 

Max sighs. "That's not possible, stay focused." Max says shoving her out of his face. Ray laughs and shakes his head. "You've been at this for years now Terra." He says to her. 

Terra scrunches her hands. "Because I have to get stronger then him. Boss gives him all the important roles!" Terra says as she grabs her hair. "I swear Max one day i'm gonna kick your ass!" Terra shouts. 

Max shakes his head. "You're arguing with yourself Terra." He says seemingly defusing her. "Afterall aren't you too old to believe in fairytales." He smirks mockingly making her angrier. 

Kaito smiles watching them. "They must've known each other for a long time, reminds me of how I'd argue to Kaid, really do have to beat him up when I see him." Kaito thinks to himself.
