[Damian]

Out of the two names that he had chosen, Damian knew that Mayt would take it the least well, and watched him for his reaction as Master Jamie announced the two who would join him as S Class wizards. The angry body language and the glare turned on both Master Jamie and himself more than confirmed Mayt's displeasure at being chosen. Damian, however, returned the look with a level one, his eyes not leaving Mayt's and saying, "If you have a problem, come talk to me about it."

He then turned to Penny. to gauge her reaction to the announcement. Damian knew that she and Sasha shared similar sentiments about the rank, seeing it as nothing more than a fancy title that drew attention to them as individuals. And they weren't wrong. However, Damian had always used it as a way to help people begin to overcome their fear of magic and what it could do, to build up the reputations of not just Phoenix Wing, but of light guilds everywhere. And it was working. He only hoped that they could catch on.

[James]

James applauded the two new S Class wizards heartily before turning his attention to every member of Phoenix Wing and trying to discern their magic so he could properly prepare his own to both boost their effectiveness while protecting them from the enemy. Of course, the Paladin was no slouch when it came to offensive magic and many an overly bold thief or bandit or even dark mage had found that out the hard way. His personal favorite, though perhaps a bit cliche, was his Smite, a spell that was ancient of it's own accord, but still powerful.

Still, making sure that his guild mates were safe would be a priority over his offensive spells at least for the first half of any potential battle. If they drew out to be longer than that, then he'd show the the power of a magic who's roots truly did lie in the path of light and righteousness.
