Chapter 4: First Assignment

It was my first day on the job as a guard. I awakened to my stiff bed in the guard corps dormitory. Outside the window, the sun was yet to rise.

All right, might as well get in a little pre-shift workout.

I left my room and headed outside to start my daily training regimen, clearing my mind of all other thoughts and focusing solely on the swing of my blade. I always made sure never to skip muscle training, either. That kind of daily self-improvement was what would give me the power to protect my comrades and the townspeople.

Once my regimen was just about over, the morning sun had finally begun to cast light over the city—though at that hour, most of the people were probably still fast asleep.

After a quick shower to wash away the sweat, I went to report for duty. As I was stepping into the barracks, Bolton was there to greet me.

“Hey, you’re here. No problems waking up, then?”

“No problems at all.”

“Heh, not bad, not bad, considering how much you drank. So you can hold your liquor too, huh. Bet it’d be worth dragging you around to a few different places,” he said with a grin, rubbing his goatee.

My eyes drifted to the guard who was standing at Bolton’s flank.

“Captain, who is that, may I ask?”

“Oh, yeah. Completely slipped my mind to introduce you two,” the Captain said, putting his hand on the man’s shoulder. “Sieg, this is your trainer, Lambda. He’ll be hammering the basics of guard duty into that head of yours. Though you, of all people, probably don’t have too much to worry about.”

I see. As a trainer, he’d be my direct supervisor, huh.

If I had to guess, he was probably in his mid-thirties. He had a slender build overall, and his face seemed almost reptilian.

“My name’s Sieg. I’m looking forward to working under you from now on.”

“I’m Lambda. I’ll be acting as your trainer, but if we’re being honest, I have a feeling there isn’t going to be a whole lot I can teach you,” he admitted, letting out a light self-derisive chuckle. “Based on what I hear, you used to be a B-rank adventurer, right?”

“Yes. That’s all in the past, though.”

“That’s amazing, though! You must have way more talent than I did when I was your age—I was so awful back then,” Lambda chuckled, his tone a mixture of honesty and self-deprecation. “Though I’m really not all that much better now, either.”

“Oh...”

“Hey, lay off with the feeling sorry for yourself,” Bolton commented. “It’s too early in the morning for that crap, and it’s making Sieg uncomfortable. If you’ve got time to waste on whining, use it for some damn training instead!”

“Oh dear! You’re so right about that, Captain!” Lambda responded with a laugh, his obsequious grin deepening after having been called out.

“All right, I’ll leave him to you, now—and Sieg, if there’s anything you’re having trouble understanding, just ask Lambda. If he can’t figure it out, feel free to come straight to me.
