Arad smiled, staring at the man, "Did you know about us?"
Edward smiled, "She sent a letter talking about you. She said a newcomer has been showing off in the guild."
Arad pulled two chairs and sat down, urging Edward to sit with him, "What did she say?"
"She called you a magic and martial monster, boasting both a powerful body and innate talent for fire that surpasses our elemental bloodline." He stared at Arad's chest and shoulders, "I say you can put some paladins out there to shame even though you're a sorcerer,"
Arad stared at his own arm, "In what way?"
Edward smiled, staring to the back where a bulky man sat on a chair with a stern face, reading a book with a hard leather cover decorated with gold.
"That's a paladin of Amaterasu, the goddess of the dawn and dusk. They boast a high resistance to curses and the power to smite with flame and holy magic." Edward snorted, "Look at those muscles. He's huge, like a bull. But nowhere near you."
