When Rex had asked us if we wanted to train under him, we’d been shocked. Still, we’d all immediately jumped at the chance. Nyuuk’s desire to get stronger was as ravenous as mine was, and even Prana, who normally grumbled and complained at everything, hadn’t had any objections.

I hate admitting it, but that guy’s skills are top notch, I thought. If he’s willing to teach us, then that’s great! Besides, Mana seems to, uh, have a crush on him, so it’d be nice of me to let her spend more time with him.

And so, we’d found ourselves being led to a corner of the training grounds.

Once we’d gotten settled, Rex turned to us and said, “All righty then. We’re going to start by going over some foundational theory.”

I raised a hand. “Uh, if you’re going to be giving a lecture, wouldn’t it be better to borrow the conference room?”

Rex shook his head. “The training grounds are practically deserted today, so there’s no need.”

Huh, I thought. Now that he mentions it, they totally are. It’s super quiet out here compared to yesterday. Hang on...wasn’t a super famous adventurer supposed to be stopping by the Guild today? Maybe everyone went to go see him?

“A-Anyway, if you’re going to be giving us tips and stuff, shouldn’t we gather up some other newbie adventurers so they can hear what...” I trailed off, frozen in my tracks by Rex’s chilly stare.

Does he think this information will be less valuable if more people know it or something?!

Taking in the look on my face, Rex sighed. “Sorry, but I’d rather keep this between just us,” he admitted. “Let me just say this up front: the things I’m going to tell you today won’t help you have a fun life as an adventurer. This knowledge is a curse that will bind you for the rest of your lives.”

“R-Really?”

“Yes, really. And since this particular curse doesn’t need to be cast, you won’t ever be able to dispel it either.”

Everyone gave Rex baffled looks.

Sometimes this guy says some really weird stuff, I thought, mystified.

Rex obviously noticed our confusion, but he didn’t elaborate any further. We were left to mull over his words in silence. At least, until he finally seemed to decide on what he wanted to say next.

“How about we start here,” Rex said. “What do you guys think is necessary to become a first-rate adventurer?”

“An unyielding spirit?” I ventured hesitantly.

“Yeah, right,” he scoffed. “Well, I guess everyone has their own opinions. But, if you ask me, efficiency is the key.”

“E-Efficiency?” I repeated, turning to look to my comrades. That was such a clinical word, devoid of hopes and dreams.

Rex nodded. “Some people might say that if you learn ten times slower than others, than you should just put in ten times the effort. But, by that logic, you’d never catch up to anyone. There’s only 24 hours in each day, and all it takes is someone who learns ten times faster than you to put in three hours of training, and they’ve already surpassed your ability to match their speed.
