Being a Diamond Dragon Slayer meant that you had a couple of tolerances. Diamonds are formed with intense heat and pressure, so Ray wouldn't get burned as easily, or squished... But as soon as his hand made contact with Taka's flame body, he experienced being burned for the first time. His hand went right through her, his knuckles red from the burns. He twisted in the air to land on on his feet and hand. He shook off his burned hand, giving a laugh and grin at her comment. "I'm just warming up!" He said. He wouldn't be able to touch her when she was in that state, and although Ray didn't have a lot of long ranged moves, he had a couple that could possibly throw her off just in time to land a punch!

Ray's face suddenly turned to confusion when a man with snow white hair suddenly appeared. "HEY! What are you doi--?" He was cut off when his face immediately hit the floor. Raymond was dazed, his whole face hurt, and he could hear Roger rushing towards him. "...okay? That Looked like it hurt." Roger's voice came to. Ray pulled his face out of the dent in the floor, glaring up at the man. "What's the big idea?!" Raymond hollered, but then immediately backed down when he saw a nastier glare than Taka could ever produce. These guild wizards are something! "She started it." Ray muttered, then he turned to see Roger snickering. "What's so funny?" Ray demanded. 

"He kicked your butt faster than it takes you to squish a fly." Roger said with a laugh. 

"Oh shut up!" Ray screamed, his fists turning a pale blue again, but soon died down when he looked over at the terrifying man. He was pissed that he was made a fool of, he was mad he wasn't strong enough to fight this guy. But like a lot of things, Adamas prepared Raymond for something like this.

[i]There will be a time when you fall during battle. It doesn't matter what happened, as long as you stand back up. It isn't over when you lose. Its over when you give up.[/i]

Raymond's attention turned to Taka. "You're pretty strong! Maybe one of these days we can have at it again with no interruptions!" Ray grinned, giving a nod. The fight was fun while it lasted. Raymond's nose then caught something.

He turned towards the white haired man, sniffing the air, and then looking at him. "You're a dragon slayer too, aren't you?" The boy asked. He didn't know exactly how he knew. Maybe it was his speed, the way he used his magic, the glare.. He also smelled familiar. He definitely didn't smell like Adamas, but it had a faint similarity. Maybe a dragon scent! Roger gave a scream that made Ray's attention turn to the cat as he run up his body, hiding behind Ray's shoulder. "A wolf... The Cat's natural predator..." He said, glaring at the animal.
