Arad approached the guild master, "Sorry about the mess back there. I was just looking to talk, but they seemed quite rattled."
"Don't worry about it." The guild master giggled, "I should've warned them. But honestly, I also wanted to see how well you'll fare against hunters." Balon's squad was B-rank but the members' ranks varied, Balon himself was an A-rank, the same with the wizard woman, the rogue that got his butt clapped to oblivion, and the ranger who sat quiet and watched.
In terms of raw stat, Arad wasn't any stronger than a normal human his size, and probably won't even classify as a C or a D ranker. But, the skills, the martial arts, the quick wit, and the battle experience he learned from everyone around him were now paying off.
