Chapter 2: At the Galarc Castle

The four heroes Sumeragi Satsuki, Sendo Masato, Sakata Hiroaki, and Sendo Takahisa were all gathered together in the training grounds of the Galarc Castle, the very same morning that Celia departed for Beltrum. Standing nearby and facing them were Gouki and Kayoko.

It seemed that something was about to begin. A small number of royalty and nobility including Christina, Lilianna, King Francois and Duke Huguenot were observing them from a far distance away. Kouta and Rei were also there as Hiroaki’s aides.

“As you have all heard already, I have been newly appointed as Lady Satsuki and Lord Masato’s combat instructor. And since we were holding a lesson anyway, we decided to extend the invitation to the other two heroes.”

As residents of the same mansion, Satsuki and Masato seemed to be aware of this already. Gouki’s explanation was directed to Hiroaki and Takahisa, who weren’t staying at the mansion.

“The fact you are all in attendance means you all have the will to get stronger. Am I right to assume this?” he asked Hiroaki and Takahisa.

“Ah... It’s true that I want to get stronger, but I have no plans on taking lessons from someone weaker than me, you know?” Hiroaki replied boldly, questioning whether Gouki was worthy of instructing heroes.

“I’m pretty sure Gouki’s far stronger than you. Even the four of us would struggle to take him on together.”

Satsuki shot Hiroaki an exasperated look. She and Masato had faced him numerous times at the mansion, but they were yet to win even once.

“Ha! That has to be an exaggeration. Are you trying to make him sound good in front of us?” Hiroaki asked skeptically.

“Bwahaha! It’s good to have some skepticism. In this case, it’s better to see for yourself.s How about we spar?” Gouki suggested.

“Hmm...”

Hiroaki’s disinterested attitude was quickly replaced with wariness.

It’s damn obvious this old man is strong.

He could tell that Gouki was probably stronger than him, and that there was a decent chance he would lose if he fought him.

It was unclear how much awareness Hiroaki had of this himself, but until now he only maintained a confident attitude in safe situations where he believed had the advantage or superiority. This was mainly out of vanity, but his fear of losing to others and being looked down upon also played a part of it. In a way, it was a precaution of his.

However, the current Hiroaki knew the taste of defeat. He had suffered a humiliating loss in Rodania to Kikuchi Renji, another hero just like him. He still kept up his brave front because he didn’t want to be looked down on, but—

“Fine. Let’s do it.” Hiroaki accepted Gouki’s suggestion. Until now, he would have confidently started making excuses for himself if he thought there was a chance of him losing and embarrassing himself, but the current Hiroaki had nothing to add. His expression merely stiffened nervously.

“Very well. Could you act as our referee, Kayoko?” Gouki smirked as though he could tell what Hiroaki was thinking.
