Klaus halted, his eyes wide in shock. "Spade? You mean the Spade?" He let out a nervous laugh, shaking his head. "Come on, Guild Master. I know the kid's famous and all, but isn't that a bit of a stretch? He's a Summoner, and didn't you say Spade matched you physically in combat? And sheer strength is not exactly something Alister is known for."
