"So basically you just think everyone needs more experience." Hayato said, finishing his meal. He was a quick eater, as it gave him more time to do other things with. "I'm in that bucket too, though. Professor Gene was telling me the same thing earlier today." He leaned back in his chair and put both hands behind his head. "Fighting Exbeasts was definitely way different from a sparring session. If I had been on that quest alone...I'd be dead. No questions asked. Those Blight creatures were weak, but with their numbers and their different abilities--trapping movement, attacking from range and from up close--they were really dangerous. And they're only D Rank! I can't imagine how screwed I'd be against something [i]you're[/i] used to fighting." He sighed and shook his head. 

"Anyway, if it's alright with you, I'll definitely be calling you in the future. I think having an A rank around to learn from would be a big help." Then, suddenly joking again, he smiled and gave Hazel a wink. "Plus it'll make other people think we're dating, which will raise my reputation through the roof."
