<Nocturnal Harmonia>

It seemed Maki had a good grasp of the situation surrounding Team 1. A bit of missing information was to be expected, though; Yugi had a slightly different assumption about that Mage-type Hunter. "Swordsman?" he questioned initially, only to make a point of some hidden truth. "The mage is probably useful. That girl I came here with is specializing in magic. She'll get him right if she's come out of her shell by now. Looks like it's down for the count," he observed, straining just a bit to scan across the field. Yugi had an easier time glancing over when airborne, but he was in no rush to get back up there just yet. Besides, there were lesser creatures to kill and conversations to have. Keeping lightning channeled through his sword, he pressed against Maki's backside to prepare a lunge. Before that however, her first question came around. "This isn't cleanup. It's more... field testing. Officially, this is our second raid... but that's not what you really want to ask about, is it?" he asked, finally pushing off the lass to strike at an ant ─ one that seemed a bit more panicked than before. "Huh... weird."

The first centipede was finally falling limp by the time Kenta extended its jaw. It sounded like the others were planning another strike, but he had other plans in mind. Kenta's reinforcement activated once more while Miko further advised the ice caster, questioning his ability to fire another shot. "Hai! And uh... I can fire more. I haven't been through half of my mana reserves yet. I'm a B-rank you know!" he asserted timidly. Already, the young man was working toward charging another lance. At the same time, the swordsman was breathing heavily, still trying to keep stable after slashing through the cold mist so frequently. "Mostly clear back here... but the spiders are starting to become more of a problem. Keep alert," he advised of the group. Kenta was stepping further into the dying centipede's mouth by then, letting it close aggressively around him. A few moments later, he'd be bursting through the creature's head. Blood sprayed, fragments of the centipede's shell flew, and Kenta... relished in the show of it. "Rrraaaaagh! This is what an A-rank is made of! You follow me!" he shouted. The mage looked over at that display simply because it was so attention-grabbing, but his eyes shifted toward Miko's blind side again. Spiders really were becoming an issue. So many were actively attacking this way and that way, seemingly indiscriminately against ants and Hunters alike. One in particular had its thorax aimed at their group's E-rank. "Watch out!" he warned. That pre-charged Icicle Lance was aimed quickly and fired with decent enough precision to pierce the spider. Sure, it didn't look pretty... but he did manage to stop its attack in time.

It would seem a slight variable came into play about the small girl he'd appeared with. According to the lad, the swordsman wasn't what he considered, and the girl, if she came out of her shell would probably make the mage useful as a magical specialist. "Sou ka, well that's the rest of the confirmation. An E-rank mage definitely wouldn't be worth much of anything out in the field. Stillt he swordsman is a decent guy. I've seen him around he also lives in the area..." she confirmed of that man, who was someone she knew in passing but not personally. She also saw him as a viable target to still be alive regardless of anything else happening. The girl making that mage useful would indeed speed things along, what was more, apparently they weren't on cleanup, they were instead testing their skills actively only two official Dungeons deep. "Wow, that's still pretty impressive," she said swinging her naginata outward for a sweep which also had her seeing a strange moving ant, which wasn't injured by conventional weapons. "Well, I'm not trying to be nosey or anything but how do you have an actual Sharingan? I thought you might have been active learning but that's entirely different!" she said seemingly excited. She thought her own family's oddities were among the more extreme but this was crazy.

Miko While the first centipede was still falling, there was the matter being discussed between Miko and the ice mage. He apparently had a pretty reasonable store of mana, given what she'd seen him do so far she could probably get him using his it more effectively and get him working a bit better. "Sou ka, that's good to know. The third centipede hasn't fallen yet, and you could have a pretty important role to play in a bit..." Miko said, she'd noted that Sato Kenta had gone into the monster's mouth but it was already mostly dying, still she could hear those sounds and something else, but it was so fuzzy, it sounded like static, what was that? She also still had her ear open for the top-knot swordsman who claimed the spiders were becoming more active. "Hai!" Miko confirmed. Just when she was about to address it the loud sound of Sato bursting from the creatures head occurred. "Ewww..." Miko managed finally just the same that ice mage was saving her. Her attention was high but that spider was definitely coming for her. "Shit. Thanks, you're awesome. Don't worry about me so much, though. We... have a huge problem headed our way," she said to that bit. She'd started completely ignoring Sato Kenta, tuning him out, aside from looking at him covered in monster guts and frowning. "They're coming we need to move now!" Miko claimed. She wasn't following Kenta, no she was beginning to lead the way back towards Yugi's group, while quick shooting a few spiders on her way. That static like noise had to be the spiders and she definitely didn't want to be here when all of them rolled out.

Yugi didn't have any proper examples of what E-ranks might be in this world, but he presumed they were barely superhuman. An E-rank Mage might have been the Hunter equivalent of a kid with a squirt gun. "Damn that's trash," he thought aloud. As for the 'swordsman' who apparently lived in the area, Maki's comments made Yugi believe Team 1 would be alright ─ or at least Miko would have someone capable of working alongside her at that end. If he was a decent guy, there was less concern for anything hinky as well. "Good. He'll probably be part of the next offense," he commented. The ants he and Maki were taking down seemed... wrong. They weren't taking the initiative to attack. No, they were... seeking shelter? Where were the spiders? He'd been seeing less of them for the past minute or so. Whatever the case, Maki's true curiosity was indeed related to the Sharingan. "The 'how' part is a little wonky. I always had good eyes. I got powers, trained my perception a bit, and boom. Sharingan. Call it Active Learning Plus. Premium subscription shit, y'know?" he joked. "My turn! Two questions. Does anybody know what the boss of this Dungeon is?" he asked, leaving it to only one question for the moment despite having a second loaded.

With Kenta bursting through the centipede's head, Team 1 could easily confirm their victory condition. Of the three remaining members who Kenta thought were under his supervision, the swordsman was the only one who had real words for his outburst. "What were you going to do if you burst a gland in there and coated yourself in venom?" he wondered. Of course, no answer was expected, nor was one given. Kenta's 'subordinates' seemed ready to move along already. The swordsman was content to act as Miko's melee force at the time. The mage, after everything he'd been through thus far, would of course follow the lass and whatever instructions she had. "Right behind, Boss!" the mage said. "What's the situation?" the swordsman asked. All the while, the spiders were gathering and taking note of all who offended them most recently. People like the ice mage who'd so recently assaulted one of their own were becoming prime targets. "Oi! Where are you going?! Our target is dead, group up and get to rendezvous!" Kenta tried to order, though the two remaining males from his team were still sticking closely to the brunette.
