Matthew was still wearing his armor from the earlier fight so he just collected a wooden sword and a couple of weaker spells book, these kind of books were designed to cause pain but not injury no matter how hard you hit with them. "I'm swordsman and a mage, so I can swap between the two in combat." He said as he checked his straps and buckles. "The Bishops prefer to avoid fighting the, beside's Dark Mages are worse, light magic is the weakest against the average person, now if we were dark mages or nightmarish creatures, that be a different story." He said smiling at the tome. "But Light magic has a weakness, Anima magic my specialty, almost anima mages are highly resistant to there spells, kinda like how Pegasus Knights are resistant to it in all forms." He finished his checks placing a thunder tome in one hand and a sword in the other he smiled. "Jiro you want to lead us out?"
