Ray thought about backing out of these jobs. The three of these wizards were more than capable of tackling this job. Two veterans like Alban and Nash were more than capable of showing Calliope the ropes of the guild. Sure, Raymond had a lot more energy than the two (they went on a lot of lengthy and more challenging jobs was one of the reasons, but Ray had a bit too much energy for a normal human), and his plan on joining in on an S-Class mission was required Alban. If he could show the Water God Slayer that he was capable, and impressed him, Alban could hopefully convince Max and Pearl to let him join in on a mission!

He was brought back to reality when Alban warned him about his manners. "What are you talkin' about?" Raymond asked, about to take on his passive-aggressive invitation to throw down, but Roger's tail whacked him on the back of his neck. "He's talking about how you pushed the girl away to look at the jobs, then yelled at her for not being able to choose." Roger said in his ear. Roger was far from polite as well, but he had a better understanding of manners. He simply chose not to follow them that much. The two wizards declined to take a split of the reward, and Ray gave a smile. "Looks like there's more money for us!" The Dragon Slayer said with a smile, then getting whacked again by Roger. "I mean, I already got a good pay earlier, so the money's all yours!" He said with a truthful smile. Although Money is a nice bonus, Ray wasn't in this for the money right now.
